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

Chapter 229 AURORA What kind of ritual ? Her smile was unclear .

Something we will have to prepare for .

I will tell you in due .

course .

By the time the sun had begun to set and was casting a golden glow over the site of the ceremony , everyone was present to rehearse the wedding .

It was energetic , the air was thick with it but a great deal of order wasnt going around .

Puppies ran between rows of chairs ; their giggles sliced through sounds of conversation .

One brave little wolf launched in a pile of flower petals , sending them sailing across the clearing .

Piper groaned above the noise .

In the name of the Moon Goddess , would someone handle these puppies ? she called out , looking at Warrick , who was leaning against the flower arrangements , doing absolutely nothing .

Chapter 229 2/9 Theyre kids , Piper .

Let them have some fun , Warrick returned with a sluggish smile as he fixed a flower that had slipped from its hook .

Theyre ruining everything ! she snapped , hips cocked .

Theyre making it unforgettable , Warrick returned , his smile expanding .

Dane stepped forward then , playing peacemaker .

How about I take care of the pups ? he suggested , but just as he took one step forward his boot caught on a misplaced log .

He was falling , arms turning like a windmill and then he fell unceremoniously into a stack of chairs .

A wave of laughter spread through the group , and even Piper cracked a smile .

If this is the real wedding , no ones ever going to let anyone hear the end of it , I said , shaking my head as I helped Dane to his feet .

He dusted himself off decidedly more amused than embarrassed .

Im just testing the strength of our setup .

You know , quality control ? Piper snickered .

Uh Huh , Alpha .

Finally , we concluded with a rehearsal full of mess and added .

moments of weird and minor arguing .

Chapter 229 3/9 The space slowly cleared , and there was Piper , moving close to the flowers .

Warrick came up towards her , slow , cautious ; the weight was on him .

Hey , he said , the word uncommonly low .

Hey , Piper responded , not looking his way .

I sat in a corner as I watched them keenly .
