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

Chapter 161 AURORA I was out of bed and down the stairs in minutes .

I found Morwen , one of our coven allies , in the control room where all of our security both magical and non magical connected back to .

She was standing over a small model of Broken Ridge pack lands that seemed to float before her in a large orb , almost like a soap .

bubble .

A silver dome arched over it , looking like it was made of magical lace .

One side of the dome was flashing gently red and orange .

All around , other magical miniatures floated in their own bubbles , showing areas Morwen and her witches had enchanted .

They looked strangely whimsical against the wall of screens with CCTV feeds and the tables full of computers and other tech , but with Morwen at the center of it all , it somehow worked .

Tell me , I said as I entered , already fully dressed in the dark gray fitted shirt and pants I wore when there might be combat .

Not that I usually saw it , wolfless as I was .

But since being given magic , there had been a few times .

Morwen a short woman about my age , with chin length , wildly curly red hair , who liked combat boots , coffee , and giant , oversized sweaters spared me only a short glance from her Chapter 161 wide hazel eyes .

Nothing good .

This magic is strong .

2/4 Despite looking like shed be better suited to crafting drinks at a coffee shop or working in a cozy bookstore , Morwen was the head witch of the most powerful coven east of the Rocky Mountains .

Morwen , herself , might just be one of the strongest witches in the world .

She was definitely one of the smartest .

She was the genius .

behind most of the wards and magical barriers that currently kept key locations in the US safe .

She was no nonsense and blunt , which I liked .

But she drove many of my wolves crazy by having half a dozen feral cat familiars that wandered the woods and hissed at us from the trees on a regular basis .

Youll deal with them if you want me , she had said pertly when cautiously approached on the subject .

So , the cats stayed though they didnt come anywhere near the pack house , keeping to the woods around the spot where Morwen had a small cottage .

She was so useful ; Id give up more than a cat free forest to keep her on my side .

Besides , I liked her , and so did the twins .

Do you think your barriers will hold ? I asked .

I went to stand beside her , but I couldnt sense her or her magic the way I could other wolves .

Wolf magic is tied to the moon .

Witch magic comes from the earth .

Chapter 161 3/4 Morwen tapped her lips , then looked to me .

Under an assault This strong ? I dont know .

I wasnt expecting any fighting until he had at least attempted to negotiate .

The coven has the barriers going at full power , of course , but there are other things in the works .

Things that will make them stronger .

I just havent had time to finish them yet .

More wolves were joining us in the control room now .

I touched the pearl pendant at my neck .

Maybe this was the moment to try the desperate , crazy thing I had wanted to do since Dane was taken from me .

I think its time to put my other plan into action , I said .

I should have been afraid .

Dane was attacking , after all , despite the moment he and I had shared with the twins earlier tonight .

But I couldnt help the feeling of excitement that tingled in my fingertips .

This might be my chance .

My first , real chance in two and a half years , to get him back .

No ! Trajan immediately barked .

Its too soon .

I gave my beta a dry look .

No ? Trajan subsided with a grumble .

He might have been pulled from sleep , but like me , he found a way to look polished , even in the small hours of the morning .

His dark hair and beard were neat , his black clothes immaculate .

I would advise against it , Luna , Trajan amended without 4/4 Chapter 161 apologizing for his outburst .

Youve advised against it from the moment you heard about it , I said .

But I had already decided .

But Im going to do it anyway .

I scanned the small crowd of my most trusted , high ranking wolves .

Trajan , Evander , Evelyn , and the four female wolves who served as my bodyguards most of the time were all there .

This is an opportunity Ive been hoping for , I told them .

I touched the pearl at my throat again .

I could feel the water cool magic of the moon goddess emanating from it , but it was also interlaced now with the summer warm strength of wood and stone .

Enchantments woven by the witch covens that I could call on in an instant .

What opportunity is that , Luna ? Evelyn asked .

She looked grumpy at being pulled out of bed , and unlike Trajan , she didnt know about my plans .

The chance to capture Dane , of course .

Using myself as bait .
