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

Chapter 226 AURORA It was still clinging to my skin , the chill of the night before , when I woke , the vision of the glowing pieces of the pendant fresh .

Morning light pouring through the packhouse windows , though .

managed to chase some of the leftover unease away .

Outside , what met my gaze was a balm of sweet solace to my soul .

Brilliant blue met the horizon again , bathing the village in golden warmth from the sun .

Wolves moved purposefully as they rebuilt , the sound of their laughter and chatter mingled with hammering and sawing .

Dane was at the tree line , facing off with some number of scouts .

Relaxed shoulders still ; he stands strong , holding command without command .

Hes happy when hes watching me and his easy smiling tugged a deep inner piece of myself in his direction .

Should be done by next week .

And cleaned the rubble out of the eastern fields , one of them added .

The crops ought to grow healthy once more .

The pups were further off at play ; their giggles were wafted forward by the breeze .

The puppies tore through the grass at each other , a never ending sphere of energy .

One came to me : a little girl , large , round eyes with that sense of curiosity , holding onto something .
