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

Chapter 260

AURORA

Energy pulsed through the village as lanterns swayed softly, each one casting flickering shadows across the wolves in altendance.

Smells of roasted meats and newly baked bread danced in the air as people’s laughter mixed with the melodies, echoing back between the trees.

I was there, virtually right at the heart of everything, and my head was in the clouds, utterly astounded.

“You could at least try to have some fun,” Dane teased, curling an arm around my waist.

“I am having fun,” I said, though my eyes wandered over the sea of people.

As the sun dipped below the horizon, the festival sprang to life.

Wolves of all ages congregated in the middle, where all the faces aglow with relished stories being shared, feet stamped out at rhythm, and feasting.

Dane yanked on my hand, pulling me into the crowd.

“Come on, Luna. Dance with me.”

I giggled, protesting. “You know I’m awful at this.”

“That makes two of us,” he said, flashing his grin.

I couldn’t say anything else because the next thing I knew, he whipped me into an awkward spin.

I stumbled, colliding into his chest, and we both burst out laughing.

“See? I warned you,” I said, laughing, shaking my head.

“You’re perfect,” he whispered back, his eyes locked on mine.
