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

Chapter 101 AURORA Nausea took me over as I looked at Dane and Trajan .

I didnt even think about it .

I knew she was employed by the Reeds .

I should have wondered where she came from .

I should have wondered why and how she showed up now , at such a convenient time .

But I met her away from everyone else , when I was down in Atlanta , and it felt like I ran into her on accident … My knees went weak .

Dane grabbed me and led me to a chair as horror overwhelmed me .

Goddess .

Tristan and Seraphina .

Its my fault .

Its all my fault ! Dane knelt in front of me .

We dont know for sure it was her .

She could have been a victim of the Reeds just as casily as you .

They could have found a way to threaten her .

Maybe blackmail her .

Does she have any family of her own ? Maybe the Reeds .

dont have the children .

Maybe she took them to her family and is hiding with them .

Try to remember .

I took a shuddering breath and flicked through my fragmented memories .

It was hard , because even though they were becoming more solid all the time , they were all so terrible I didnt want to look at them and see .

I didnt want to remember .

I thought back to my earliest days , when the Reeds would spend the day training or purifying me , and then Mrs.

Jamison would come to me .

She would bring me food , bathe me , tell me Chapter 101 stories .

She was so young back then .

And she would say … I have a little girl just like you … A daughter ! I said .

She has a daughter .

But I dont know .

anything else about her .

Dane nodded .

Ill get my people on it .

Archer is still on Remingtons trail , but I have others .

I can- Trajan started .

2/5 You need rest , Dane and I said at the same time .

We glanced at each other .

I raised a brow at him , and he gave me half a smile .

You can help them once youve slept at least six hours , I told Trajan .

My voice was light , but guilt still threatened to crush me .

This was all so much .

Part of me wished the earth would open up and swallow me , because I couldnt bear any more .

The other part of me knew that even if it did , I would wear my fingers to the bone to dig myself out , because no part of me could rest until I saved my children .

Still , if I wore myself out , or Dane , or Trajan , I would lose the most important people in the search for my children .

Us , and … Wait , I said , new fear taking hold in me , Wheres Evander ? Chapter 101 Trajan looked grim .

EVANDER 3/5 I slept in the woods on the edge of Broken Forest land that night .

A few restless hours , grabbed in the coldest part of the dark, just before the sun rose .

I wouldnt stop until I found the twins , and my gut told me they were here .

Close .

Maybe I was cold , isolated , and alone .

Maybe I was in a strange country with wilderness wilder than anything I had experienced back home .

But no matter what Dane and Aurora said , this was my fault .

They were my charges .

Id failed them .

How could a man live with himself when he failed to protect two children ? Family .

I was too far away from home to hear the back and forth chatter of the High Alpine pack in my mind , and it was strange .

Id grown up right in the heart of the pack .

Maybe not grandmothers favorite , but as a charming screw up , I thought I had a special place in her heart and the hearts of my aunts , uncles , and cousins .

But I could never show my face to them again any of them , including Aurora if I didnt fix this .

Chapter 101 4/5 I trotted through the forest in my wolf form .

The lycan wast good for battle , but the wolf was best for living outside , covering distance , for hunting and tracking without being easily discovered by anyone except other wolves .

Broken Forest land was rough .

A lot of it was mountains .

Places with sudden cliffs , steep slopes , and hidden ravines .

At least it was late summer , so the streams and rivers I crossed were warm ish .

I was far from the Reed pack house far from everything when I lifted my nose and scented other wolves .

The fur on the back of my neck stood on end , and my wolf growled .

Coming out this far was a shot in the dark , but there was a path through the trees that smelled like it was used often .

And it was used by important pack members .

Like Waylon Reed .

Carefully , I picked my way through the underbrush , following the path .

The scents were new enough that I kept my cars pricked , listening for any sound of other wolves .

The path led downhill , into a ravine .

Right to the open , yawning mouth of a cave .

I would have waited , but I caught a new scent .

Two of them .

So faint , it was clear they were being masked .

Tristan and Seraphina .

Chapter 101 5/5 Trajan .

I said through the pack bond .

I found something .

A cave .

It smells like the twins .

Im going in .

Trajan didnt answer .

His thoughts were out of reach .

I guessed he was finally getting some sleep .

I should wait , I knew .

Let someone know where I was going .

But my scent would be here , now .

If I left , they might come back , know I was here , and block it off .

No way I was risking it .

Id just have to keep trying to get ahold of Trajan .

Without hesitating , I slunk into the darkness .

I didnt see the bear trap .

Not until it was too late .
