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

Chapter 118 EVANDER I left the pebble wedged in the door , then went and gulped down the food theyd brought .

I was too weak not to .

Then I went out and joined the wolf in the hall .

You did it , I whispered .

She blinked at me .

Then she disappeared again .

Part of me was relieved .

A light in a place this dark would only draw eyes .

But Id spent too long in the dark not to be comforted by her light .

It only occurred to me then that I might be dreaming , still .

I pinched myself .

Slapped myself .

Not a dream .

But if it wasnt a dream , that meant the ghost wolf was real , as well .

Who was she ? Why had she helped me ? Id heard Auroras horror stories of this place .

Maybe she wasnt the only girl the Reeds had kidnapped over the years .

Chapter 118 2/5 Maybe the others stories hadnt turned out as well as Auroras .

Carefully , I made my way down the hall with one hand on the wall .

When the hall turned , so did I.

Tristan .

Seraphina .

Where are you ? No answer .

They must be with the Reeds , or whoever took them out of their cells every once in a while .

I prayed they did it so the twins could get exercise and fresh air .

I wouldnt let myself think of the other reasons they might be taken to the Reeds .

Not even a little bit .

I just prayed to the goddess that whatever happened , they werent being hurt .

But thinking of the Reeds only led me to questions .

Like , why had they kept me alive ? Though maybe I knew the answer to that .

I , personally , would not want to anger Augusta DeVere of the High Alpine Pack by killing her favorite grandson , either .

I wonder what grandmother thought of my disappearance , or if Aurora had told her .

I knew Aurora would be looking for me .

Even if I couldnt find my way out of this hell hole , maybe I could find my way past these telepathic blocks , so I could tell Trajan I was alive and that the twins were here .

Chapter 118 3/5 All Blue Ridge needed was proof .

My words would justify a raid .

The Council wouldnt be able to stop Dane from taking his vengeance then it would be entirely justified .

I rounded a corner .

At first , I thought my eyes were still playing tricks on me .

Then I realized what I was seeing .

Light .

Flickering and dancing .

I crouched and moved closer .

I heard voices , then cheering .

It was a TV .

I approached the open doorway of a room , and there was a TV on inside .

I glanced in .

A male wolf was kicked back in a recliner , and he was snoring .

A football game was playing .

On the opposite wall , several camera feeds showed empty cells .

So.

They had been watching me .

And when I spoke to the ghost wolf ? Could they see her , too , or had they thought I was losing my mind ? I crept closer and looked , praying one of those cameras showed the twins , or at least a cell where Id be able to tell the twins were being held .

None did .

I cursed inwardly and backed out of the room .

I glanced at the mans shoes and thought of stealing them , but I couldnt risk waking him up .

Whoever had thrown me in a cell had also dressed me in some 4/5 Chapter 118 Riad of simple coverall , since Id been naked from shifting into a wolf .

But no shoes .

No socks , The room wasnt a total waste , though .

There was a sandwich sitting on the table next to him .

It was close enough to the door the snatched it .

To get out of here , I nooded my wolf .

To get my wolf , I had to get my strength back .

I ate it as I wandered the halls , calling out for the twins .

I was torn because I knew they had to be guarded .

There was almost no chance Id get them out of this place by myself .

The best thing to do was find a place I could communicate with Trajan , tell him they were alive , then wait for backup .

If Id done that in the first place .

I wouldnt be a captive here .

I moved through the caves , always going up when I could .

Eventually , I found myself out of the dungeon level and onto a storage level .

I found coveralls that smelled like a Broken Forest wolf and pulled them on , hoping to hide my scent .

Then I heard voices again .

Two more wolves .

From the direction of their footsteps , they were heading for the dungeon .

these brats instead of just getting Montague , himself .

I held my breath .

They were talking about Dane and the twins .

* Dont forget , we need him to do the ceremony .

Once he has , hell be too strong to contain .

The children are just hostages .

Chapter 118 5/5 Once he and Ann have the relic , well threaten to kill the children unless they hand it over .

I held my breath .

So , thats why they wanted the twins .

I took a step back , but I was still dizzy from silver poisoning and hunger .

I knocked against a stack of boxes in the storage room and knocked them down .

The voices stopped .

I crouched in the corner , cursing myself .

Someone rounded the corner .

Not just any someone .

Waylon Reed , himself .

He saw me and grinned .

Aha .

I was just coming to get you , pup .

His claws grew and his smile got fangs .

We have a message we want to send to Ann .
