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

As we waited with Dane already armed, nothing showed.

“This is definitely getting scary now.”

Blood & Silver: Rise of the Alpha’s Rejected… 1/7

“Something doesn’t feel right,” he had said, his voice careful yet firm, leaving a chill in the air.

The training arena rumbled with grunts and the clashing of metal; sometimes there was even cheering from spectators.

I stood at the edge of the training ground, pretending to watch the trainees, though my eyes barely left Dane’s movements with his precision and weightiness in each movement, with the strength behind each swing of the blade.

“You’re staring again “Piper’s voice cut through my distraction.

She swept past me, carrying a load of training equipment; her voice was as flat as her tone was unmistakably annoyed.

I grinned, really not bothering to hide it. “Can you blame me? He’s impressive.”

I heard the eye roll and the muttered sound as Piper turned and walked away.

I didn’t care. It was equally a pleasure and a frust ation to watch Dane because he was everything a leader should be, strong, confident, untouchable.

And yet frustratingly out of reach.

I was still lingering at the edge of the training grounds later on, after the crowd had all dispersed. Dane was speaking to Warrick low but firm, talking about patrol schedules.

I waited until just the right moment, stepping forward as Warrick nodded and walked off.

“You’ve been working hard,” I said then, my voice softening, a hint of admiration laced within. Dane barely looked at me.

“It has been for everyone. The last few days have been pretty tense.”

I took another step closer and flicked at imaginary dust on my sleeve.

“Not everybody’s got the same stamina, though. You make it look easy.”

He stiffened for a second, then moved back to insert some forced space between us again.

His face was impassive, but the tone of his voice was adamant. “Keep to your work, Freya.”

The sting of rejection hit me more painful than I had thought. I forced a smile onto my lips while my chest seemed to beat with frustration.

“Of course, Alpha. Always.”
