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

Chapter 81 AURORA I fought Dane , but as impossible as it had felt for me to escape Holden , this was so much worse .

So.

Much .

Worse .

Dane , please , I begged him for the fifth or sixth time since hed carried me outside .

It was morning , but the ancient woods surrounding the Blue Ridge pack house were so thick , it might as well have been twilight .

He just kept striding forward , not answering me .

Because the forest here was old , it was more mossy , twisted roots and less undergrowth .

But Dane was so tall , I kept coming within inches of being slammed into low hanging branches .

Where are we going ? I asked .

I wished so desperately that I could see into his mind .

I was gutted that Connall was dead , tired from nights of no rest , and terrified for my children , my pack mates , and myself .

If Dane took me into the woods and killed me , what would happen to Trajan and Evander ? Chapter 81 If he went to war with High Alpine and Fall Line if he went to war with the Council what would happen to my innocent .

babies ? 2/5 I kicked , but Dane wrapped his arms around my legs trapping them against his hard , muscular body with bands of steel .

I had no idea where we were going , only that it was uphill .

He had me slung over his shoulder , and eventually I got dizzy and passed in and out of consciousness from the blood rushing to my head and the constant jostling .

I came back to myself when Dane dropped me to the ground .

It wasnt a gentle fall .

My legs crumpled beneath me on hard stone .

For a moment , I just looked into the cloudy sky and breathed .

When I finally got enough strength back , I looked around .

We were at his grandfathers house .

Dane had dumped me on the sidewalk .

He was a few feet away , fumbling with his massive lycan claws to unlock the door .

Fear still drummed in my chest .

Why were we here ? Did he want to make me feel my guilt as deeply as possible before he killed me ? I struggled to my feet , my legs and head aching and blood rushed back into the places it was supposed to be .

I gauged the distance between me and the forest .

If I was quiet- Chapter 81 3/5 If you run .

I will hunt you .

His growl was low and dangerous .

My wolf is on edge right now .

Im not all the way in control .

So , unless you want me to shred that pale , perfect skin from your bones , dont move .

Trembling , I stilled and stopped making plans to run .

Finally , Dane got frustrated enough that he snarled and tore the front door off its hinges .

It was even larger and heavier than the closet door back at the pack house , but he howled and sent it flying like it was made of paper .

The way cleared , he stalked back toward me .

Let me walk , I said .

He snarled again and threw me over his shoulder .

I coughed as my stomach landed on his hard muscle and the wind was knocked out of me .

Then he carried me up the stairs .

Alarm bells started going off in my mind as I realized we were in a bedroom .

He slammed me down again , but this time it was on a bed .

My body bounced , and I sat up just in time to see him stalk over and slam the door .

I pulled back , afraid again .

Dane … He turned back to me .

As he walked , he shrank down into a Chapter 81 4/5 man .

He tore away the shredded remains of his shirt and stood there , his muscular torso bare , in nothing but low slung pants and his bare feet .

His dark eyes were haunted .

Harrowed .

As he neared the bed , he stumbled to his knees .

He grabbed me and pulled me toward him , so that he could wrap his arms around my waist and lay his head on my thighs .

Aurora , his voice was a rough rasp .

His fingers clenched and unclenched against my back , as if he was fighting to either pull me closer or toss me away .

Tell me the truth .

Now .

Once and for all .

I took an unsteady breath at the look in his eyes , their dark brown still tinged with flecks of gold from his transformation .

From his wolf , trying to break free .

To the wolf , the only thing that could remedy this absolute injustice was to kill , and kill , and kill .

Over the years , Id seen Dane in a thousand moods , including angry and desperate .

Through it all he remained the perfect Alpha .

Sometimes he skirted the edge , but he always kept at least one finger on his ability to control himself .

Danes control was perfect .

Except right now , in this moment , there was none of that .

My broken Alphas control was gone .

Chapter 81 5/5 I could either tell him the truth and hope he had mercy on me … or I could die .
