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

Chapter 144 DANE I didnt want to fight Waylon Reed .

At least , night right now .

Right now , I wanted to know where Aurora was and what , exactly we had freed from that stone with my lifes blood .

But Waylon wasnt going to give me a choice .

Hed already issued the challenge .

He stepped forward , ready to attack .

I said , I accept your challenge , Waylon Reed .

But if I kill you , then I become Alpha over Broken Forest .

Hed said he wanted the packs reunited .

Fine .

I would do that .

Id take over that den of rats .

I would avenge Aurora , evil or not , and I would make sure that no one ever suffered at their hands again .

I accept , Waylon snapped .

The magic rose around us and tightened , scaling the challenge .

Behind me , Evelyn cursed and muttered , What happened to escape , Danc ? Chapter 144 I glanced over my shoulder .

Warn Piper .

Warn them all .

2/6 I didnt have the energy to summon the pack bond and speak to them all .

Besides , it was too late to stop this , now .

I wont leave you here , Evelyn said .

Then stand as a witness to this , I said .

There was a snarl , and before I could say anything else , Waylon was on me .

I barely turned in time to catch the old wolf before he took me out with a slash to the throat .

He was in his lycan form , but he brandished the silver knife .

I rolled to the side , grunting at the pain in my chest .

Even though he was old , Waylon was on me immediately .

My blood burned in my veins .

Fuck this silver .

I was too slow .

That much was clear a moment later , when Waylon struck again .

I lifted my arm to block the blow , then let out a grunt of pain as the silver knife bit deep into my flesh deep enough to strike bone .

I struck with my other hand , my claws racking across his face and down his chest .

He yelped and fell back .

As he moved , I swiped down again .

Chapter 144 3/6 I hit the knife .

It spun off to the side , beyond Evelyn and her warriors .

Waylon lunged like he would go get it , but they closed ranks , blocking his way .

Bitch ! Waylon roared .

Your fight is with me .

I used his moment of distraction to move up behind him and strike the back of his head .

He yelped again and went to the ground .

I slashed , but he grabbed me .

We rolled around , biting and slashing and snarling .

Normally , if Id had to challenge Waylon directly , I could have killed him in a minute .

Only the Councils forced peace had kept me from doing it years ago .

But in my weakened state , we were evenly matched … or he was stronger .

He wrapped his hands around my throat , cutting off my air .

I felt dizzy .

The lack of air plus the silver made a buzzing rise in my ears .

Things started going black around the edges .

I felt my grip on him go slack .

I was losing .

Rage rose deep inside me .

4/6 Chapter 144 I didnt fucking get brought back by some kind of miracle fifteen minutes ago just to die now .

That wouldnt help Blue Ridge .

It wouldnt help my kids .

It wouldnt help Aurora , wherever she was .

Wil surge of strength beyond what I thought I could do , I broke his grip on my neck .

I grabbed his head in my hands , and I twisted .

There was a crack .

Then Waylon Reed slumped over on top of me .

He was dead .

Unlike me , he wasnt going to be coming back anytime soon .

I rose and let his body fall into the bloody mud .

Esther Reed screamed .

And I … felt it .

I felt the power Waylon had horded all his life fall over me , get pulled into me .

Then , in a wave of voices I hadnt felt since the night I became the Alpha of Blue Ridge , I felt them .

The rest of the Broken Forest wolves .

They were everywhere .

In the forest all around us .

And now , they were mine .

Chapter 144 I turned in a slow circle , then I sent out a message all of them would hear .

Youre mine , now .

5/6 My triumph was short lived .

Because then Pipers voice was in myi d , and it was filled with panic .

Dane ! You have to come home now .

The Fall Line wolves are here , and theyre about to attack ! AURORA I woke from the dark and cold to find myself in a strange place made of stone .

Tapestries hung from the walls .

Carved columns lined a pathway up to where I sat … Which looked like a dais .

I was sitting on a throne .

I tried to move , but it was like Id been tied there .

When I tried to shift , the strands of cord touched my skin and burned .

Ah ! It was silver .

I shook my head to clear it .

Next to me was another throne .

Chapter 144 The guardian sat on it .

He was clothed all in black .

His sleek black hair fell past his shoulders .

6/6 Even though I hadnt made a sound , he turned to me as if he sensed I was awake .

He rose with a graceful motion and swept over to stand in front of my chair .

I tugged on my bindings but couldnt break them .

Let me go ! Fsmiled , and it almost looked sad .

I dont think so , darling .

Now , lets just wipe away those pesky memories of yours so youll be willing to do everything I say .
