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

Chapter 122 DANE Her eyes were huge .

She took my hands , then took a breath .

Auroras twins .

Theyre yours .

I couldnt help the sardonic smile that curved one corner of my mouth .

I know .

Ive known .

Theres been so much … I let out a sigh , then sent someone to the kitchen to bring my sister food while I told her some of what had happened while she was unconscious .

When I told her about the twins , she growled .

That was my sister .

Growling instead of gasping .

Our family tended to reach for anger any time it meant we didnt have to feel fear .

How could this have happened ? They were taken right out of our territory , she said .

Where were the guards they had at the other house ? Where was Evander ? I shook my head .

The guards were reassigned once they were here .

Evander ? she insisted again .

Chapter 122 He was the only guard they had .

The nanny took them for at walk before he woke one morning .

2/5 Then how did that happen to him ? she asked , peeking around me .

I scowled and pushed her back onto her pillow .

Since they left , hes been searching for him .

He was on Broken Forest land .

The Reeds or someone who works for them must have done it .

She sat up .

But you dont know ? Why havent you found out ? Because he just arrived , and Ive spent the entire time talking to you .

Piper made an impatient noise .

Aurora wants to talk to you about him .

Things with her are … complicated .

Id told her the bare bones .

of my growing relationship with Aurora , but I hadnt gotten to the picture of her and Holden that Evelyn had sent me yet .

That damn picture had been haunting my thoughts for days .

I needed to confront Aurora instead of brooding on it .

But brooding was so much fucking easier than finally letting her in , only to find out shed been playing me the entire time .

Yes , there was a chance she wasnt .

That there was a perfectly innocent explanation for the picture .

Or there was a chance she was about to prove I was a fucking Chapter 122 fool for ever deciding to trust her in the first place .

3/5 Besides , she had put more distance between us since Id brought her back from the place Holden had taken her .

I could feel it ..

If he hurt her , I understood why .

But she wasnt talking to me about it .

Id trusted her with everything .

All my secrets .

She wasnt trusting me with hers .

I shook myself .

Piper was leaning again .

Trying to peer around me at Evander .

The twins .

I feel like … her eyes were distant .

Then she shook her head and massaged her temples with her fingers .

No.

Thats insane .

Whats insane ? I asked .

Instead of answering , she said , How did I wake up ? Now it was my turn to glance over my shoulder .

Aurora was still there with her cousin , cleaning him up .

Celia helped .

Theyd cut away his shredded clothing , revealing his bare chest .

His body was covered in scars .

Crisscrossed with them like stripes .

I grimaced at the sight .

Evander was young close to the same age as Piper .

Someone had done a number on him , and theyd done it with silver .

Even his face wasnt untouched parallel lines slashed across his left eye down his check and over his lips .

From the thoughts of a large portion of my pack members , Evander had been very , very Chapter 122 pretty .

He wasnt pretty , now .

No matter how many times he 4/5 transformed , those silver scars would never entirely go away .

Even Aurora hadnt come to me that badly poisoned .

It would be a miracle if he still had his wolf .

I dont know , I finally said to Piper .

My unsettled feeling over her and Evander only grew the longer she was awake and the more she looked at him .

I slid my hands underneath her and she squeaked .

What are you doing ? Taking you to your room .

Youll heal better there .

Dane ! I ignored her .

Id been Alpha almost a decade .

If that had taught me anything , it was that I had to trust my gut .

If Evander DeVere woke , he would be required to stay away from my little sister , or I would send him right back to the place he came from .

After Id deposited my sister in her room , directed her food there , and made sure half a dozen wolves were waiting on her hand and foot , I finally stepped into the hall and leaned against a wall .

Awake .

Piper was awake because of what Aurora had done .

How had the same woman who killed my grandfather brought my comatose sister back to life ? Chapter 122 The scent of Evelyns perfume hit me before I heard her footsteps .

I didnt look up , even when she leaned next to me .

I heard about Piper .

Im glad shes awake , Evelyn said .

So am I.

Evelyn sighed .

Dane … about everything thats happened lately … There was something in her tone .

Something wary , almost afraid .

I finally glanced up and saw something Id never seen before .
