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

I stepped over a root that poked into my path, following along the forest edge beneath a high blanched sun, the quiet far too much for a head filled with thought.

My chest hitched as memories of the tension sitting between. Piper and me replayed themselves in my head.

I exhaled with a heavy sound and ran a hand over my hair, suddenly saying out loud, “Why can’t I get things right.”

Suddenly, the very soft sound of footsteps really snapped me out from these thoughts, turning my eyes which instantly met those of a sleek, curvily outlined she wolf.

“Warrick,” she purred, her head cocked slightly as a coy smile danced on her lips. “What are you doing out here all alone?”

“Patrolling,” I returned shortly, my tone sharp as I continued

ahead.

She chuckled, her voice low and teasing. I paused, I know that laugh.

“Alina?” I growled low as I turned and saw her right behind me. I scoffed, “Decided to reappear again, to cause more harm to the pack from where you left off?”

Alina raised the sides of her lips in a small smile, “Warrick…. always so serious, that’s one thing that I always admire about you. You look like you could use some company.”

Admire. I narrowed my gaze at her. She had been away for quite a while, I heard her friends had said something about her going back to her mother’s pack across the rivers. Why has she come back?

“I’m fine,” I said, turned, and walked away, I don’t trust her.

She rushed closer, her fingers lightly brushing against my arm. I jumped and took a deep breath and I hastened my steps away.

“Are you? You seem tense,” she murmured, her gaze going pointedly to the bulge in my pants.

Shit. Why did she have to notice that? I had been battling with this urge for a while now. I can’t seem to get close to Piper, so I just stay like that.

“Let me help you relax.” She placed her hand on my pants in the bulge and I froze and stood still.

“Alina… stay away from me,” I said and took a step away from her reach. She smiled and walked up to me.

She placed her hand on my shoulder and tiptoed to reach my ear, her warm breath blasting the side of my neck. “Just a little distraction, Warrick. No one has to know,” she whispered.
