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

Finally, Warrick gasped, his finger hovering over a series of symbols. “Wait… this matches!”

“What?” I leaned in, my heart pounding.

He flipped through one of the cipher books, aligning the symbols. “Here. It’s a name. It’s…” He trailed off, his face draining of color.

“Who is it?” I pressed, dread curling in my stomach. Piper looked up at me with fear in her eyes.

I shook my head as I snatched the papers from Warrick’s hand, I just couldn’t bear the suspense.

“What?” I whispered as the papers slipped from my hand and landed on the desk. Warrick arranged them back swiftly.

“No… this can’t be… he is my own blood… It can’t be him,” I got up and stormed out, heading towards my room.

“Aurora?” Piper called out, but I ignored her. I didn’t stop until I reached my room and slammed the door shut.

“Baby,” I heard Dane’s voice from behind me, and I quickly wiped off my tears with my elbow and sniffed before I turned to him to reply.

“Yes?” I said, feigning a smile.

He narrowed his gaze at me as he shifted and tried to get up and

sit on the bed. I rushed to him and helped him sit, putting a pillow behind his back.

“Are you… crying?” he asked.

I looked down and shook my head, “No… why would I cry? I am okay,” I lied.

He sighed and his shoulders dropped, “It is my body that is weak, not my heart… I can tell when you are not okay from at while away.”

He cupped my face and made me face him, “Aurora… tell me the problem now.”

“A spy… there’s an insider that’s feeding Orion’s men with all they need to defeat us, Dane.”

Dane breathed out, “I thought as much… Is there someone you suspect?”

I kept silent and looked away. Dane took my hand and made me face him.

“I think you know this person already… Am I right?” Dane asked.

I nodded my head and he continued, “And he is not someone you thought it would be? It happened to be whom you trusted.”

I nodded again, as tears formed in my eyes. Dane lifted his hand slowly and wiped off my tears with his thumb.

“Rowan? Warrick? Evelyn? Piper? Trajan? Joclyn? Me?” Dane listed, and I stayed mute as I pressed my eyes shut.

“There’s still one you haven’t mentioned,” I said.

“Who?” Dane asked, raising a brow.

I locked eyes with him as I replied, “Evander.”
