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

Chapter 236 AURORA He spun around , his eyes catching on mine before slipping off again .

You dont seem fine , I insisted .

I said Im fine , he growled ; the whip in his voice had me back stepping in one step .

A silence hung in the air until he blew out a heavy sigh and passed a hand over his hair .

Sorry .

Didnt mean it .

Im just tired , thats all .

I nodded back at him while knowing in my heart that the words didnt ring quite in truth .

If ever you feel the need to talk , my doors always open .

Thanks , he mumbled and dived back into his work .

I sat outside later that evening with Dane when the sun was already dipped below the horizon , leaving tangerine orange and pink painted across the sky .

It had been one very long day , but most definitely the snail like progress this pack was making toward unity was going to keep my hopes high .

Though I think Piper might kill him if he teases her too much .

Thats how you know its love .

I laughed , leaning into him .

Dane grinned .

Dane , I said slowly , my gaze fixed on the training arena .

He followed my line of vision , the tension flowing into his body .

What is he doing ? In the middle of the field , Rowan was doing combat drills , his movements aggressive .
