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

Chapter 125 DANE PRE NT DAY There was more to the memory , but it faded just I tried to reach for it .

The birthmark made light .

Something had blocked me from remembering that .

I shouldnt be surprised .

Aurora could hardly remember any of her time with the Reeds , even though shed been with them her entire life .

I used to think she was lying .

Then I thought it was trauma .

But now , knowing there were things Id forgotten , too , I didnt think I could say that anymore .

Theyd done something to repress my memories of the kidnapping , and hers of her whole life .

I cursed and snarled .

Damn the Council for not letting me wipe them out when I took over as Alpha .

I blinked and shook myself , looking around for Evelyn .

She was gone .

Chapter 125 Shed dropped that bomb on me and just left .

My fingers elongated into claws .

For eight years , shed lied to me .

She let me build my life around her .

She let me ruin my relationship with Aurora .

I should tear her apart .

But she was also carrying my child ….

If it even was my child .

2/6 The foundation of our relationship was a lie .

It wasnt hard to believe shed lie about other things .

But if I wasnt the father , who was ? Who was allowing Evelyn to parade around , telling people she was pregnant with my child when they knew it was theirs ? My fangs elongated at the thought of that .

Whoever the father was , hed better pray to the goddess that Evelyn had lied to him , too .

Because nothing in heaven or on earth would save him if I found out who he was and that hed tricked me willingly .

I finally pushed away from the wall , but I didnt go after Evelyn .

There would be time for her .

Time to think .

To decide what to do with the child which was , after all , innocent .

Time to hunt her down and take her out if thats what it came to .

But how and why would a woman like that become the chosen of the goddess ? And why would she be put in charge of guarding Aurora .

Chapter 125 It made no sense .

One thing shed said was right , though .

3/6 I think its time the women in your life stopped keeping secrets .

from you .

Id given Aurora enough time to come clean about Coleridge .

It was time to figure out what was going on between her and the Fall Line Alpha once and for all .

AURORA Hello , precious thing .

What are you doing right now ? Thinking of me ? My gut clenched at the sound of Holdens voice in my head .

Celia and I had finished cleaning Evanders wounds and changing his clothes and sheets , so he wasnt lying in drying blood anymore .

I pushed my younger cousins hair back from his face .

Wake up , Evander .

Please .

What am I going to tell Uncle Winston ? Evanders uncle was one of my favorites , even though I knew he was Grandma Augustas least favorite child .

He didnt want power , he wasnt ruthless or strategic .

He was a scholar who specialized in magic .

Chapter 125 4/6 Evander didnt take after his dad their relationship wast basically if the absent minded college professor was somehow the father of the star quarterback but they loved each other , and I loved both of them .

Aurora , Holdens voice echoed in my mind again , and this time ther as a trickle of power in the words , which sounded like they were spoken through gritted teeth .

Answer me .

My throat closed as I automatically fought the compulsion .

I must have made a sound because Celia , the middle aged healer , looked at me in alarm .

Are you all right , Luma heir ? Are you choking on something ? I shook my head no and said in my mind , Im tending my cousin .

He was wounded searching for my children .

The strangled feeling immediately disappeared , and I sucked in a rush of air , cooling my burning lungs .

Thats better .

I like it when my mate is responsive , Holden purred .

I wanted to snap back that I wasnt his mate .

The magic hed used to bind me wasnt normal .

It wasnt natural wolf magic .

It was something else .

Something created by that strange , hooded figure .

Something that tasted like the shadows .

What about the rest ? Holden asked with that violating caress of Chapter 125 power .

Were you thinking of me ? 5/6 No , I snapped .

I was thinking of my cousin and making sure hes all right .

And I was thinking of Piper .

Was she all right ? I didnt know why ne had moved her out of the infirmary .

I hoped that meant she was doing well .

And I was thinking Dane .

I was always thinking of Dane .

And my children .

They were with the Reeds , Evander had said .

But I couldnt get him to wake up and tell me the rest , and Dane had brushed me off so carelessly .

I shook myself .

Of course , he had .

His sister had been unconscious for so long , it made sense .

I needed to get a grip on myself .

Trajan once told me he couldnt believe how cool and collected I was all the time , but the only reason he thought so was because I didnt have my wolf .

He couldnt ever see what was inside my head .

Cool and collected was a veneer .

A mask .

An act .

I was unsure so much of the time .

These days , the mask felt like the only thing holding me together .

Chapter 125 6/6 Celia finished with Evander , and I moved back to tuck the covers in around him .

Then the door to the infirmary slammed open and Dane strode in .

He had his phone in his hand .

Ive waited long enough , Aurora .

Explain this .
