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

Chapter 136 DANE He lifted the knife as if he would stab my four year old son .

Al my side , Aurora screamed .

Power surged inside me .

Waylon was chanting something , and it called to my blood as it rushed through my veins .

Regret pierced my chest as I realized I would never see my children grow up , because I would die before I allowed this to happen .

No ! I strode toward him , not giving a shit about the Broken Forest wolves that closed in around me .

They grabbed for me , and I threw them off .

More came , and I shook those off , too .

In the end , it took six Broken Forest wolves to force me to my knees .

Listen to me , Reed , I called to the other Alpha , If you have to kill someone , kill me .

No ! Aurora cried .

This isnt what the book said ! I didnt look back at either of them .

Instead , I let the Broken Forest wolves drag me closer , until I was only a few feet from Waylon .

If I could get free , I could tear out his throat .

But there was no way any of them would allow that to happen .

Chapter 136 2/4 I bared my teeth .

You heard me , Reed .

Im not going to let you kill my children .

I heard a whimper and looked down at my kids .

They seemed pale and frightened , but I didnt see any bruises on them .

My he lurched .

I could have loved them .

I could have been there for them .

It was a crime that the first four years of their lives had been stolen from us .

Now we were going to lose the rest , as well .

, But it was worth it .

I didnt know them , but I could feel my connection to them .

I loved them .

If I was going to go out , dying to protect them was the best damn death I could ask for .

Its going to be okay , I said to them .

They were crouched by Waylons feet , clinging to each other , and looking at me with huge eyes .

I wont let him hurt you .

You and your mother are going to walk out of here just fine .

Well see about that , Esther Reed muttered .

So ? I said to Waylon .

You have me .

Just like youve always wanted .

Let them go .

Swear to me as an Alpha that once this is finished , youll let them and Aurora walk away .

I wont let you hurt them .

I didnt think you would .

He smiled and pulled back , putting the silver knife in a sheath at his hip .

Ill let them go .

Ill even swear no harm will come to them from a Broken Forest wolf … if you will swear to me as an Alpha that youll die in their place .

Chapter 136 3/4 Promises sworn as Alphas were binding .

If we each did it , wed be held to our word .

The ceremony was unpredictable , and it didnt mean Aurora and the twins would be completely safe , but it would protect them from Broken Forest forever .

I cldnt ask for more than that , even if it meant I paid for it with my life .

Ill even go first , since Im feeling generous , Waylon said .

I felt magic gather around him .

If Dane Montague gives his blood .

in place of his childrens , I , Waylon Reed , Alpha of the Broken Forest Pack , swear that no harm will come to … Aurora … or his children at the hands of any Broken Forest wolf for as long as Im Alpha .

Power sharpened in the air , making it smell light lightning .

Then it tightened around us .

His promise was complete .

I bowed my head .

Id known this was a trap .

I had taken precautions placed traps and wolves in the woods all around .

But I should have known better .

This land was Reed land , back to a time before memory .

If my wolves were still alive out there , I had no idea .

If any of my traps had been tripped , I didnt know .

Maybe they still would be .

At least then if I had to go down , I would take some of them with me .

I , Dane Montague , Alpha of the Blue Ridge Pack … Chapter 136 4/4 Dane , no ! Auroras voice sounded closer .

There was snapping and snarling , as if she was fighting to get to me .

Or more accurately , Trajan was fighting , and she was with him .

1 pulled my power around me .

… swear that Ill die in place of my children , as long as you uphold your promise and allow them to go free immediately and dont harm them .

No ! Aurora cried again .

The magic twisted around me , sharp as it had been when Waylon had made his promise .

The promise settled around me just as Aurora reached me .

She threw her arms around me and cried , but it was too late .

They lifted her off of me and shoved the twins at her .

Dane Montague , Waylon said , flashing the silver bladed knife once again , Time to die .
