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

Chapter 60 AURORA The shadows surrounded me , drowning me .

They burned away at my skin , at my soul .

I couldnt see .

I couldnt breathe .

The last thing I remembered seeing was Danes face , terrified but determined .

And I was cold .

So , so cold .

Cold to my bones and my heart and the core of my spirit .

I felt the ice spreading through me , turning me brittle and numb .

Like trees of lace , the ice spread from the places the shadows touched me , reaching for my chest .

If it touched my heart , I knew , it would stop .

Then something whispered through the night , No , this one must be preserved .

She is the key to the cage .

She is the flesh that frees .

As fearful as I was , that voice terrified me more than anything I had ever heard before .

Then something warm touched my chest .

Light flashed silver hot behind my lids , and even though I didnt move , I felt … lifted .

Up , away from the voice .

Chapter 60 Out of the terrible place with the voice and the cold to a place of nothing .

No fear , but no safety .

Ho discomfort , but no comfort , For long time , the nothing stayed .

Ihadde of , or movement , or anything .

And then there was something .

I was no longer cold , I was warm .

I was in a bed , in a room .

But I will couldnt wake .

I tried reaching my hands in front of me , stumbling around until I found a wall , a door , a hatch .

Some way to escape .

There was nothing .

The dark went on forever .

This wasnt the same as the terrifying voice from before .

This was softer , Marmer .

Feminine .

Out of thirtinct , I moved toward it .

Hello ? I called .

I cant see you ! I am here .

No longer in my head , the voice sounded more solid .

It came from a place in front of me , not far off .

I stumbled forward .

My foot caught .

I tripped .

Fell .

My hands 2 Chapter 60 crashed to the ground .

3/5 And where the hit , there was light .

It ripped out in waves , silver and blue and violet .

The darkness was eaten away , and I stood .

I was in a quiet place filled with natural standing stones .

Trees were thick all around .

Above , the night sky was crusted with stars .

Before me was a woman .

She looked young one moment , old the next .

Then , she was ageless .

Who are you ? I asked .

Where am I ? The woman smiled , and it was kind .

You know me , she said .

And I did .

Of course , I did .

Every wolf knew the moon goddess .

For a moment , the dream … glitched .

Terror overwhelmed me , and I saw the clearing for what it was .

These werent trees .

They were the same shadows of black , ropey ooze .

This was no woman , but a specter of death .

Do not be deceived ! someone cried from far , far away .

I opened my mouth to scream … And then the dream glitched again .

Back to the clearing .

The fear disappeared .

My memories went fuzzy .

Id been afraid , but … that was back below .

Where the shadows were .

Chapter 60 Not here , with this woman .

Who was … 4/5 Moon goddess ! I stumbled forward again and this time I fell to my knees .

The coldness came back , and fear gripped my chest .

Am I dead ? My children … ! She laughed softly and came to stand before me .

She bent and took my chin in her hand .

Her fingers were so , so cold .

You are walking the borders between , but a mistake was made .

For a moment , her eyes flashed like hard ice .

You must not die , for you belong to me .

You always have .

There was something ominous about her statement .

Something that made my stomach churn with unease .

I need to go back , I whispered .

My children … She nodded .

You will go back .

You will translate the book .

You will unlock the prison .

She smiled , and for half a second , her teeth were row after row of fangs .

Fear returned , sharp and hard .

I tried to pull away .

No ! I- Her thumb passed over my cheek , and I calmed .

How silly , to think Id seen something evil in this woman .

Chapter 60 5/5 You will serve me , she said .

Just like you were raised to do .

Of course , goddess , I whispered .

She reached down her free hand and placed it over my chest .

Tendrils off oil seemed to seep from my chest into her hand .

She tucked it behind her back .

There .

The mistake is fixed .

Always remember … Her face flashed into a skull with black flames dancing in its eyes , and her voice turned to the sound of a thousand broken shards of glass screeching against each other .

… you are mine .

***** I woke , screaming .

A strong hand grabbed mine .

I was pulled against a warm hard chest , cradled close .

He whispered , Aurora ! Its all right .

Im here .
