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

Chapter 227 AURORA I woke to the sound of excited chatter just outside my window .

The sun was soft streaming through the curtains , but beyond the walls , it was anything but .

Voices overlapped in a symphony of plans , ideas , and laughter .

Before I could even sit up , the door burst open .

Piper stormed in , a roll of fabric clutched in her arms , her face alight with determination .

Were doing this right , Aurora ! she said , radiant , triumphant .

Your wedding is going to be the event of the decade .

I blinked , still dozing Good morning to you too , Piper .

She ignored my sarcasm completely , unrolling the fabric with a flourish .

It shined in the sunlight , a pale silver that reminded me of the groves glow .

Look at this ! she exclaimed , holding it against me .

Joclyn said its perfect for your dress .

We will start fittings tomorrow .

Day went into serious activity as the pack dove headlong with élan not seen in ages , in preparation for this occasion .

The air was thick with wolves darting across the village , the Chapter 227 sounds of rising talks , murmurs of their labors .

2/6 Piper took charge of decorations , her voice cutting through the chaos as she directed wolves to hang garlands of wildflowers and string lights between the trees .

Warrick , thats the wrong branch ! she called , exasperated as he tried to secure a lantern too high for its own good .

Im doing my best here , Piper ! he shot back , balancing on the tips of his toes .

Your best needs to be better , she snapped , hand on her hips .

Despite how much they argued , there was a spark flying between them no one could ignore .

Warrick might grumble under his breath , but he always did what Piper asked , even when it meant moving armfuls of supplies across the clearing .

Meanwhile , Dane and Trajan were similarly occupied , ensuring the initiation site was neat and perfect , scrubbing the debris clean and leveling it off around the circumference of the copse .
