Blood And Silver:Rise of the Alpha’s Rejected Mate

Chapter 220 PIPER Aurora and Dane burst through the door moments later , their faces somber .

The room fell silent as , like moths around a flame , the pack turned to them .

They are coming here , Aurora said , her voice hopeful , even though the tension in her shoulders betrayed her .

The Forgotten are pushing up their plans .

We dont have a lot of time .

Dane stepped forward , his hand resting on the hilt of his blade .

That beacon at the grove was a warning .

Theyre coming for us , and they wont wait .

Murmurs ran through the crowd , a thread of fear weaving through it .

The pack scrambled into action , preparing defenses .

Werewolves reinforced the doors and windows , while others gathered weapons .

I took charge of organizing patrols , trying to keep order as my voice cut above the cacophony of noise .

Stick together , I told them , my voice sharper than I meant .

The fog is messing with our senses .

Whatever happens , dont go anywhere alone .

Chapter 220 It was hard not to be afraid , myself .

The fog seemed to writhe and twist , its whispers threading through the air to tag at memories buried deep .

2/8 By midday , the tension had reached a breaking point .

Callen , still under the Forgottens influence , stood in the middle of the room , his glowing eyes scanning the pack .

This is her fault , he said coldly , pointing at Aurora .

Aurora froze , her gaze locking onto him .

What are you talking about ? You brought this on us , he accused , his voice rising.

Your decisions have doomed us all .

The grove , the curse , its all because of you .

His words hit like a blow , the weight of them stirring unease among the pack .

Whispers rose , werewolf exchanging uncertain glances .

Thats enough , Dane said , stepping between Callen and Aurora .

Youre not helping .

Callen smirked , his glowing eyes narrowing .

The truth hurts , doesnt it , Alpha ? The tension boiled over as pack members began turning on each other , their fears amplified by the Forgottens magic .

Arguments broke out , the air crackling with distrust .

Chapter 220 3/8 1 elbowed my way to the heart of the commotion , my voice raised .

Stop it ! I yelled above the din , and the room fell silent .

This is what they want … us turning on each other instead of them .

Were better than this ! The pack paused .

The anger hadnt dissipated , just simmered .

I turned back to Aurora , frozen , her expression blank.
