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

Chapter 155 DANE My memories were a kaleidoscope of blood and death , fire , and pain .

Now , touching her skin , it was like escaping from a burning house to gasp down clean , fresh winter air .

Curious .

The one I served said she might affect me .

He said she had been important to me , once .

I hadnt remembered .

But now that my hands were on her , I did .

Almost .

The words that were pulled from my lips , You have no idea how much Ive missed you , felt like theyd been spoken by someone else .

Someone who had been dead a long time .

But they also felt familiar .

They felt true .

Dont let her get inside your mind , the Nameless had said .

She was supposed to be for me , but her connection to the moon bitch was too strong .

You are better in every regard .

I made a good trade .

She is powerful , but she still doesnt know it .

Cant reach it .

You are plenty strong enough for my purposes .

Chapter 155 2/5 Was I ? Because the feel of this woman in my arms was … fuck .

She was the most gorgeous creature Id ever seen , so ephemeral it looked like she was made of pale gold and starlight .

I had to stamp down the violent urge to lift her in my arms , press her against me more tightly .

To claim her mouth .

To trace my fingers up from her ankle along the outside of her calf and up , until my fingers were beneath her dress on her warm , perfect skin .

I felt eyes on my back .

The wolves Id come here with were watching me , and that meant he was watching .

Something deep inside my chest , something that burned hot , told me I couldnt let them know how much she affected me .

How much I already wanted her .

Like Id savored her before and forgotten , and her sweet scent was bringing the memory back .

But even if I needed to be cautious , I wasnt going to loosen my grip .

I felt the shadows surge within me , shifting , resettling around my heart .

But with her in my arms , it was like they couldnt touch me .

Not as deeply .

With her in my arms , I felt … I didnt know .

I just … felt .

But feeling , remembering , was too much .

Chapter 155 3/5 Because as soon as I did , I knew one thing : I was evil .

Tainted .

Unworthy of her .

So instead of examining those feelings , I fell back on my mission .

Tell me , Luna , how are you enjoying the new toy you finally pried out of that old stone ? AURORA My attention snapped to his eyes .

Id been getting lost in the feel of him .

Of his warm hands .

Of the way his body moved while we danced , so familiar and so strange , because we hadnt had the chance to do this since we were married .

Goddess , that felt a lifetime ago , now .

No , it felt two or three lifetimes ago .

How many times did one woman have to reinvent herself just to survive ? At his words , my hormone driven daze disappeared .

All the places Id been heating up turned cold .

The relic .

How does he know I finally have the relic ? Evanders father Winston had been the one to figure out how to get it from the stone .

He and a coven of witches , and a ritual held together by spit and prayers that without Dane , the third chosen had nearly killed both Evelyn and me .

4/5 Chapter 155 I pasted on a flirty , carefree smile .

You heard from all the way on the other side of the world ? My goodness .

Does your master really care so much about my silly little projects ? Dane growled .

Even though it wasnt an angry sound , it was still a warning .

When youre tinkering with power beyond you ? Yes .

That didnt answer how he had heard of it , but if I asked again , Id only seem desperate to know .

Im flattered to have caught the eye of the Nameless for a second time , I said .

Danes hands squeezed mine .

Dont be .

Why is that ? He leaned down until his lips brushed the sensitive shell of my ear again , his breath warm as he whispered , Because when you catch his attention , you catch mine .

I shivered .

Because of fear , but also because it had been so long , and to have him this close felt … delicious .

Maybe even more because he was so dangerous .

Stupid , I knew .

I chastised myself .

But the song would be ending soon , and foolish as it was , I didnt want him to let me go .

Even this shadow version of Dane was more than I had gotten in so many years .

Do you understand it ? He lifted a brow .

Before he could respond , however , the click of Chapter 155 5/5 heels hit my ears .

Out of the corner of my eye , I caught sight of a tall , red headed woman in a scarlet dress .

Her lips were red as blood , and her eyes flashed lilac .

Hello , Aurora , dear , my cousin Lilliana purred .

How are your sweet little children ? Still alive ? What a shame .
