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

Chapter 47 DANE I didnt .

I was a bastard , but even I wouldnt ruin a childs love for their mother .

Thats not true , Seraphina piped up .

She tentatively came over to me .

She patted my knee , then , to my shock , she climbed into my lap .

She took my face in her tiny hands and stared me down .

with a serious look in her lilac eyes .

You have us .

Were your family .

Sera … Tristan hissed .

Seraphina glared at him .

He does .

Were his family .

As long as hes nice to Mommy .

I swallowed , entirely captured by this moment .

By this little girl .

and her firm look and her tiny hands .

My restraint broke , and I pulled her into a hug .

Thank you .

I let her go , and she hopped off my lap .

Just then , the door opened .

A harried looking woman entered the room .

She looked young at first glance .

Then I realized she was older but had aged well .

There was something about her face … something familiar I couldnt place .

There you two are ! she said .

Oh , no ! Are you bothering the Alpha ? Im so sorry , Alpha Montague .

These two are quite a bit.

Chapter 47 2/5 more trouble than their mother used to be .

Then again , there are two .

Its fine .

I rose .

Then her words hit me .

Did you say … you knew Aurora as a child ? She smiled .

Yes , I was her nanny , too .

Though I was barely more than a girl , myself .

I still think of her as Ann , even though Im not supposed to .

I stepped toward her , and her eyes went wide .

I have questions for you .

Questions about Aurora , and about the Reeds .

Her face went pale .

Oh , sir .

Please .

There are things I swore Id never tell .

Not anyone .

Not even Ann .

AURORA I stormed away .

It wasnt until later that I realized Id walked away from Dane without telling him a single one of my revelations from the back of the book .

And without asking him my question .

It was more important , now than ever , that I go to the old Reed pack house .

More important that I find the last two pages that had been torn out of the book .

Because if what Id found was right , there wasnt just one chosen of the moon goddess .

There were three .

Chapter 47 3/5 I might still have a chance to be one of them .

Maybe , if I was , the goddess would have mercy on me and give me my wolf back .

I had to find Dane again .

I wasnt about to ask his permission , but it would be good to have his support .

Last time Id tried to go , wed been ambushed by the Reeds .

Id prefer to have a few wolves with me in addition to Trajan if I didnt want that to happen again .

There was also Evander , but now more than ever I wanted him to protect the twins .

What are you doing wandering the halls ? I looked up sharply .

Evelyn stood in front of me , an irritated frown on her face .

I straightened and lifted my chin .

Walking .

Evelyn .

Why are you walking toward my fiancés room ? You mean why am I trying to find my business partner ? I gave her a sharp smile .

For business .

If he wanted you to know about it , you would .

Dont you think that business is mine , now , too ? After all , aside from the fact that Im the mother of his child , Im the chosen of the goddess .

Everyone who matters will want me to be involved in what were doing .

If you dont , I doubt anyone will care .

I surprised the desire to push her off her three inch heels .

You will certainly have your role to play , I said with a smile .

But apter 47 4/5 whether that role involves anything beyond your wheelhouse- like thinking remains to be seen .

If were lucky , you can play to your strengths and stand around and look pretty .

You bitch ! Evelyn snarled .

I should I didnt stay to listen what she thought she should do .

I turned and walked away .

I wondered if shed follow me , but thankfully , she didnt .

I was glad .

My mind was filled with other things .

First and foremost , worry over Dane and the twins .

But there was also what Id seen in the book .

It looked like there was more to what Dane and I were doing than just unearthing something powerful .

The translation was painstakingly slow , but Id made out something about a prison or a cage , and something about shadows .

It couldnt be a coincidence that shadows were attacking Danes family .

But why hadnt they gone after Dane or me or my family ? It seemed that the shadows might be some kind of … security measure .

Some kind of guardian put in place to protect the relic .

If that was so , the fact that they were coming after us meant that we were getting close .

But the danger was growing .

People we loved were getting hurt .

I wasnt certain if we should keep pushing or call everything off .

Chapter 47 When I had the last two pages , I would know .

I had to .

Evelyn , wait ! 5/5 I paused .

The voice came from behind me , around a corner Id just turned .

Evelyn must have been following me , after all .

Not now , she hissed .

This cant wait .

I need … damn it , Evelyn … There was the unmistakable sound of two people kissing .

My heart pounded in my chest .

Was Danes beloved , the bane of my existence , the woman he had cheated on me with … cheating on him ? I eased up to the corner .

I had to know .

Holding my breath , I peered around the edge .
