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

Chapter 222 DANE Only the beginning … I heard a whisper from no one I could see , I pushed it aside and looked down at Aurora .

The room had grown quiet , the kind of silence that pressed on your ears and made your pulse feel louder .

I stood near the couch where Aurora lay , her chest rising and falling steadily now .

She looked so small , so fragile .

It didnt suit her , not the Aurora I knew .

Warricks question still hung in the air .

And Idris ? Trajans response came to my head , his words having gone with me through my reflection , Gone .

We didnt sleep .

Downstairs , the pack had gathered in the great hall , their faces contorted in anger , fear , and something else .

entirely to determination .

Aurora stood at the front of the room , her voice firmer now .

Idris wont stop .

Hell come back , and when he does , we need to be ready .

What do we do ? Piper asked , an edge in her voice .
