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

Chapter 40 AURORA I stared at her , a sinking feeling deep in my chest .

I could lose everything .

My money .

My home .

My status as Luna heir .

But I could not lose my children .

Piper , I whispered .

What have you done ? Her cheeks reddened .

I dont know , Aurora .

Luna heir .

Whoever you are .

But I do know if those are Danes children , he deserves to know them , and they deserve to know him .

My mind went back to the one time Dane had touched me the one time any man had touched me .

The way hed thrown the Plan B at me .

Do you know what Dane used to say to me ? I asked Piper .

She shifted , then shook her head .

Without emotion , I said , Hed rather drink molten silver than mix his blood with the Reeds .

Does that sound like a man who wants to know any children I gave birth to , whether theyre his or not ? Chapter 40 Pipers eyes widened .

Dane wouldnt- 2/5 Your brother is kind to you , I cut her off .

He always has been .

I know sides of Dane Montague you dont .

Sides you never will .

I rose .

I think its best you leave .

Piper rose , too .

She looked shaken by what Id said but determined .

My Alpha commanded me to be here and protect you .

He marked you with his blood .

I am the Luna heir of High Alpine , I snarled .

He does not rule anyone in this house .

I reject his protection .

You and all the other Blue Ridge wolves need to leave .

Inside , I was panicking .

Did he already know ? I had to get the twins on a plane .

Id send Evander back with them .

Hopefully Mary wouldnt mind living in Europe .

Maybe this time Id go back , too .

At least until Dane had time to calm down .

Or … whispered a voice in the back of my mind , You just tell him , like she said .

Tell him before he gets the results himself , and this will be easier to fix .

I bit my lip .

Maybe it would .

But Id get the children far away from him first .

Once he knew , the protection of a pack as powerful as High Alpine would be the only thing that could stop him .

Chapter 40 3/5 Even then , they were his heirs .

If he went to the Council , they might force me to send them to him .

I remembered the life Id had with Dane Montague .

The sadness .

The heartbreak of simply wanting him to love me .

He hated me .

I wouldnt let him hate my children .

I wouldnt let them wish and wish and wish to be loved by him , only to be crushed every single time .

I rushed to the door .

Trajan ! Pack the childrens things .

They have to return to Europe .

Trajan nodded and strode away without question .

Goddess , he was perfect .

I had no idea what Id do without him .

When I turned around , Piper was behind me .

She looked horrified .

So they are yours ? His ? I went to my desk and started gathering papers .

I never said that .

She let out a humorless laugh .

No , youre just hustling them out of the country because you know hell come for them when he finds out .

She shook her head .

I never wanted to think he was right .

All the things he said about you .

But maybe he was .

Piper could believe what she wanted about me .

She wasnt a mother .

Dane had never hated her .

I found what I wanted on my desk and was just about to move to the door when a strange shiver ran through the house .

I froze Chapter 40 and put my hand on the wall .

What the- ? Piper said .

She also looked confused .

4/5 Then the shiver turned to a rumble , which turned to a teeth clattering shaking .

It felt like the earth beneath us was giving way and the whole house was about to be swallowed by the red Georgia dirt .

The walls creaked .

Things crashed .

Piper grabbed me .

Come on ! she cried .

We have to get out ! We ran into the hall .

It was filled with shadows .

DANE I was sparring with the pack warriors in my lycan form when the earth started to shake .

I shrunk back down into my human form right away as the shaking strengthened .

Equipment in the huge gymnasium that made up almost an entire wing of the pack house clattered to the ground .

Gel to cover ! I shouted .

A faint call Auroras mansion .

in my mind .

My sister , twenty miles away at Chapter 40 Dane … ! 5/5 Her voice was faint .

Normal wolves couldnt even speak through pack bonds at that distance .

But Piper and I shared blood , and we were both powerful wolves .

Piper , what is it ? Do you feel the earthquake ? Her response was broken and hard to understand .

She was just barely within range to speak to me at all .

… house is falling ….

shadows .

You need to know- Wolves scrambled .

The shaking stopped .

So did Pipers voice .

Piper ! No answer .

Get every wolf you can , I shouted out loud and through the pack bond .

The wolves protecting the Luna heir of High Alpine need help !
