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

Chapter 109 DANE Evelyn ! I saw her get swept away .

I lunged and snapped , trying to catch her by the scruff of her neck .

But she was too far , and she disappeared beneath the water of the stream .

I ran after her , doing my best not to get my feet swept out from under me , too .

That wouldnt help anyone .

She was pushed almost a quarter of a mile downstream , to a flatter place where the banks were low again , before I saw a figure reach into the water and haul her out .

I snarled and pushed harder , ready to defend her from whoever it was .

I hoped , maybe , it was one of the strange wolf women whod led us here .

I found Evelyn on the bank , braced over her rescuer .

The rescuer was on their back beneath her .

I heard Evelyn snarl … Then I came around her and saw the soaked banner of pale blond hair , the pale skin , and the wide , lilac eyes .

Aurora ! I shifted into a man , pushed Evelyn to the side , and then she was Chapter 109 in my arms .

I crouched and cradled her against me , trying to hide the way my whole body shook .

2/5 Youre here .

Thank the goddess .

They didnt lie .

Youre here , I whispered .

Dane , she whispered .

Her face was wel .

From tears or from the stream .

I had no idea .

Water droplets smacked me in the face .

I looked up .

Evelyn had trotted a few steps away then shook water all over us .

She gave me a glare .

Call for me when this touching reunion is over .

It wont go far .

Then she disappeared through the trees .

For a moment , I looked after her in shock .

A week ago , she would have stayed glued to my side instead of giving me a single second alone with Aurora .

Id spent years thinking I knew Evelyn .

Lately , I wondered if I did at all .

If she had ever allowed me to truly know her .

Then Auroras soft hand was against my cheek , and every thought of Evelyn fled from my mind .

Dane , Aurora whispered .

Her eyes were red and swollen .

So , she had been crying .

Hard , from the looks of it .

It was no wonder .

The twins were still missing , and shed been taken , too .

I brushed my thumb along her cheek .

Are you hurt? Chapter 109 3/5 She shook her head .

It looked like she was fighting herself over what to say .

Finally , she said in a rush , I escaped him .

He doesnt know .

He has so many wolves , Dane .

And something .

else .

A witch or some other kind of strange spell caster .

We have to get out of here before he comes looking .

I growled .

We can leave .

Right after I kill him .

No ! she forced me to look at her .

There are too many .

Another time .

Please .

I just want to go home .

She took a shaking breath , and her eyes filled with a hope it broke my heart to see .

Have you found Seraphina and Tristan ? I lowered my eyes and shook my head .

Not yet .

She swallowed .

If the Reeds do have them , we might know soon .

She reached into her pocket and pulled out her book .

I was able to read this while he had me .

Dane , we have to get back .

The timing … the ceremonies we need to do to find the other two chosen , they have to be performed on a full moon .

The relic has to be retrieved on a new moon .

The sky was hidden in this thick valley forest , but I glanced up anyway .

The moon was barely a hint of silver that showed through a thin place in the canopy .

The full moon is tomorrow night .

She nodded .

And if I know my grandmother , her ultimatum stands .

Shell want all of this done this month , or shell force me to go home .

Chapter 109 All right .

Well make it .

4/5 But I cant shift , she said with tears in her eyes .

How can we get there ? Ill slow us down .

Well make it , I insisted .

Weve come too far and given up too .

much to fail now .

She stroked my face .

I have to believe you .

Being with you again makes it feel like the last few days have just been a dream .

But I have to- She tried to say something else , but only a strangled sound came out .

She cursed and tried to speak again .

The same thing happened .

Alarm bells went off in my head .

Stop .

Dont speak .

Whatever it is , you can tell me when youve regained your strength .

She panted and shook her head .

I cant- She made strangled sounds again .

Tears fell down her face faster and faster .

Its okay , I said .

I pulled her close to me again and kissed the tears from her cheeks .

We found each other .

Well get out of here .

Coleridge will never touch you again .

I wiped tears from her cheeks with my thumbs .

Youre mine .

Not his .

No matter what hes done , nothing can change that .

For some reason , that made her cry harder .

Chapter 109 5/5 Then , in the distance , I heard howling and the sounds of a hunt .

Evelyn ran back into the clearing .

Youre going to have to cut this short , she said .

The Fall Line wolves are out there , and theyre hunting us .
