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

Chapter 358

The empty hallway felt eerie as I walked, the silence unsettling. Where was everyone? I wondered, my steps echoing faintly against the walls.

A sudden, loud bang from outside made me freeze. My heart jumped, panic coursing through me. What was that?

Then I heard it–cheering, loud and fervent, coming from outside. Without a second thought, I raced toward the noise, my pulse quickening with each step.

I collided with Evelyn as she rushed out of her room. She halted abruptly, her wide eyes meeting mine.

“Did

you hear that?” she asked, her voice trembling.

I nodded. “What’s going on out there?”

Evelyn shook her head. “I’m not sure, but I think it’s a fight. I heard one of the maids calling Evander’s name, but…”

Her words blurred as my mind latched onto that single name- Evander.

My chest lightened. Was Evander fighting? My heart sank as dread clawed at me. I knew his temper, how easily he could lose

control. This could only end badly.

I sprinted past Evelyn, not waiting for more. The noise grew loder as I approached the yard. A large crowd had gathered, their cheers a chaotic roar.

I hesitated, unsure how to answer. How could I tell her that. Evander might be on the verge of killing Warrick? Without responding, I shoved through the wall of bodies, my urgency mounting.

“How dare you, scoundrel!” Evander’s furious voice boomed over the noise.

A sickening thud followed as I finally reached the front. My stomach twisted at the sight before me–Evander, his fist. colliding with Warrick’s face, sending blood spraying.

“Oh my god!” I gasped, horrified.
