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

Chapter 141 AURORA DA .

1 It was too late .

The knife sunk into his chest .

He grunted in pain and fell to his knees .

I went to my knees , as well .

I gripped the hilt of the dagger but taking it out now wouldnt do anything .

He fell forward onto his hands .

Blood from the wound dripped onto the ground at the base of the stone .

I was sobbing , I couldnt stop myself .

Dane turned his head to look at me once with those piercing eyes .

In his dying moments , they flickered from brown to his wolfs gold .

This is going to take way too long .

Waylon moved forward , bent down , and ripped the knife from Danes chest .

Ah ! Dane yelled .

NO ! I lurched forward and put my hand over his chest to try to stem the hot , red flow of his blood .

It coated my hands and dripped through my fingers .

Dane , hold on … I tried to reach for the healing gift of the goddess .

I could feel him dying the way Id felt Evander dying .

Chapter 141 2/5 But this was happening so much faster .

I only had seconds before he was gone .

Then , Danes arms seemed to lose their strength .

He fell to the grond face down , blood still pouring from his chest .

All around me .

I felt the smokey magic gather .

I felt it drinking in his power .

I thought I heard it whisper … 1 gripped Danes shredded shirt and tried to turn him over .

I couldnt .

He was too big .

Too heavy .

No , no , no , no ! Dane ! Desperate .

I put my hands on his back , my fingers sliding across the ridges and planes of his muscles , searching for contact with his skin .

I had to touch his skin .

There ! My bloody hand found a hole near his shirt collar and slipped inside .

Just one finger in contact with his broad back .

As fast as I could , I reached for the river of cool healing magic that ran through my veins .

Like I had with Evander , I pushed it into him , tried to fill him with it .

Unlike Evander , Dane took one , last , shaking breath .

Then he didnt breathe again .

Chapter 141 3/5 NO ! It seemed like that was the only word I remembered how to say .

Even though I could feel that his life was gone , I kept trying .

Kept pushing .

I didnt notice the earth had begun to tremble around me .

It didnt notice that , over my head , the bands of symbols on the ston ad begun to glow a dull , pulsing red , as if the stone was filled with magma .

My throat felt scratchy and thick , as if my lungs were filling with smoke .

My head pounded .

My vision flickered like there as fire burning at the edges of my vision , but instead of heat all I felt was cold .

Cold .

So cold .

Momma ! I heard each of the twins shout .

The sound came as if from a distance .

Good .

I didnt want them to see this .

They shouldnt see any of it .

They would grow up as scarred and damaged as I had .

All Id ever wanted was to shelter them from that .

Yessssss , the voice of the guardian whispered again .

I looked up .

My vision still wavered .

Chapter 141 The lines of symbols around the stone flickered , and then … They disappeared .

4/5 There was a sound like the scream of metal twisting , bending breaking .

Then there was the rattle of chains falling to the ground .

It felt so final , that sound .

The shaking of the earth grew more intense .

I looked over at the Blue Ridge wolves .

Trajan was with them , one twin in each of his arms .

They all looked so afraid .

The walls of the ravine were beginning to crumble .

It looked like they might fall and collapse on us all .

In my grief and rage , I reached out to them .

A silver glow flowed from my hands and surrounded them just as a massive overhang of rock overhead collapsed .

It plummeted straight for my children .

But it bounced off the silver light .

The stones crashed to the ground with a sound like thunder .

Dust rose .

Run ! I shouted at the Blue Ridge wolves , filling my voice with command .

My eyes met Trajans .

Run , I repeated .

To my surprise , they did .

They turned and ran .

All of them except Evelyn and the group of female rogues .

Chapter 141 5/5 Instead of running , they shifted .

We arent leaving here without Dane and Aurora , Evelyn snarled .

Waylon Reed might have started to say something , but I couldnt be sure .

Because at that moment , the stone column cracked .

A figure stepped out from its center .

Tall and lean , with a mane of black hair and eyes like blue flames .

Those eyes fell on me , and I tasted smoke .

Aurora , he said , and his voice was smooth and rich as chocolate .

My priestess .

My queen .

Come to me .

I didnt want to leave Dane , but a strange power filled my limbs .

Without meaning to , I rose and walked to the man who had just stepped from the stone .
