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

Chapter 156 AURORA Lillian .

If Id had a wolf , my fingers would have turned to claws at the sight of her .

As it was , something a lot like a growl came from my throat .

Years ago , when I had first come here , my children werent with me .

Then theyd showed up on my doorstep , a continent away from where they were supposed to be , because Evander feared Lillian was trying to poison them .

I tried to pull away from Dane , but he held onto me .

I bared my teeth at Lillian .

My cousin looked so much like me , except for her coloring .

Tall and slender , with the same cheekbones , same nose .

My children are his , too , I hissed .

Danes hold on me , which had been welcome just a moment ago , was now imprisoning .

I pulled against him again .

Let me go .

Why did you bring her here ? Lillian laughed and wrapped her hands around Danes wide bicep .

You havent heard ? Dane and I are an item .

I looked up at Dane , but his face was blank .

He didnt react to Chapter 156 2/5 Lillian .

She might as well have been a fly buzzing around him .

Still , I said , Is this true ? Dane looked down at Lillian .

As tall as we both were , he was still several inches taller .

Before he could say anything , another woman marched up .

Significantly shorter , with golden blond hair and armed with a sword .

Oh , Lillian ! Evelyn said .

She laughed , and it sounded as bright and sparkling as champagne .

These days , I almost forgot Evelyns origins as an actress .

Shed given it all up when Dane was taken from the pack .

Now , Evelyns charm was back in full force .

So much so that it reminded me forcibly of the time we hated each other , and she was actively trying to ruin my life .

I pulled away from Dane again .

Evelyn , my voice was sharper than it needed to be , but given the situation , I decided it was called for .

Do you know my cousin ? Evelyn threaded her arm through Lillians , and Lillians expression suddenly turned strained , as if she was trying to hide pain .

Oh , yes , Evelyn said .

We go back a long way .

She knew my mother .

Confused , I furrowed my brow .

I see .

Chapter 156 3/5 I didnt know anything about Evelyns mother .

Shed never spoken about her before .

Though I did know that her maternal aunt was mated to the Alpha of the Hundred Lakes Pack , one of the few packs in the Southeastern US that thought it could still stay out of the war that Dane was bringing to the rest of the world .

Come on , Lilli , said Evelyn with a bright smile on her face .

Lets talk .

Lillians look of hidden pain was replaced with a toothy smile that was clearly angry .

Fine , she said through her teeth .

She followed Evelyn , and the two slipped away .

Dane still hadnt let me go .

He looked after the two retreating women with a neutral expression on his face .

Did you sleep with my cousin ? I asked .

Dane glared at me .

Then he moved his hold to my wrist and pulled me through the crowd .

I swallowed an annoyed sound .

Trajan reached out to me through the pack bond a connection that was sacred to me after spending so much of my life without it .

Luna , what would you like us to do ? My eyes fell on Trajan .

I found him casually sipping a drink and leaning against a column .

Dozens of other warriors , all formally dressed for the gala , slipped Dane and I looks .

There was Dane he guarantee , after all , that the Nameless hadnt sent just to murder me .

Chapter 156 Nothing yet , I told Trajan .

Be ready .

My beta nodded , and I let Dane pull me from the glittering , packed ballroom toward a darkened hall .

A little fear buzzed in my blood , but so did anticipation .

I was stronger now than I looked .

Even if I was wolfless , Id found in the last few years that I was hard to kill .

4/5 But that wasnt why I let Dane pull me into the hall , where the air was dark and cool , and the sounds of the gala were muffled .

I did it because part of me was still a foolish girl , and I wanted to be alone with him .

I wanted to know what he would do .

What he would say .

Besides , I could feel Trajan and several other warriors follow us .

If I needed them , they would be here in less than a second .

When we got into the hall , Dane shocked me by pushing me against the wall and crowding me with his body .

He dropped his nose to my neck and breathed in .

I had to get away from their eyes , he said .

He didnt have to tell me for me to know he was talking about the shadow wolves hed come with .

Why ? My voice was breathless .

His nose nuzzled my skin , and I tilted my head back .

Chapter 156 5/5 Dane growled at the submissive show .

Then , with a quiet exhale , he brushed his lips across the place where my pulse hammered against my skin .

Why ? he repeated .

His voice was rough as gravel .

Because I … know you .

I know this .

He pressed his lips there again , harder .

I had to bite back a groan .

Do you remember ? I asked .

Who I am ? What you did for me ? What we used to be ? Dane kissed my neck again .

Then , before he could answer , a new voice cut through the darkness .

A young voice , filled with heartbreaking hope .

Daddy ? Youre home !
