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

Chapter 88 1/5 AURORA I couldnt process what was happening .

It was too much .

The whiplash from the 24 hours Id just had with Dane maybe the best 24 hours of my life and now this .

My knees gave out , and I wouldve fallen to the stone floor of the front porch if Evander wasnt already holding on to me .

Then Evander was gone , snatched away by Dane , who threw him against the wall with a roar .

What happened ? Where were you ? You are supposed to protect them ! Trajan was there in an instant .

He didnt get between Dane and Evander he was smart enough to know that would be a death sentence .

Instead , he put a hand on Danes shoulder and said , Alpha , the children were with their nanny .

Evander was sleeping .

Which , unfortunately , everyone has to do sometimes .

Dane glared at Evander , but I could tell from the tilt of his head that he was listening to Trajan .

Finally , he released Evander and stepped away .

He turned to Trajan .

When did it happen ? Trajans report was efficient and detailed .

Evander discovered them missing when he went to see why things were so quiet in their room .

Usually , Mrs.

Jamison goes down to the kitchen to Chapter 88 bring the children breakfast .

Then they get Evander , and the four of them go outside and let the kids run out their energy until lunch .

2/5 Evander , who was rubbing his shoulders where Dane had pinned him to the wall , said , It was ten minutes past the time Mrs.

Jamison usually comes to get me when I went looking for them .

I thought she was having a late morning .

Instead , they were all just gone .

I tracked them outside , but their scent is everywhere here .

I couldnt follow it farther .

And your pack bond ? Dane asked .

We dont have one with Mrs.

Jamison , Trajan answered .

The children … they seem to be shielded , somehow .

Shielded ? Panic threaded thorough my veins .

Who would be able to do that ? It would take a spell from a witch .

Or a wolf with strange powers , Dane said .

There are a few .

Especially in the Appalachians .

Magic can behave oddly in the mountains , sometimes .

I was inches away from dissolving into a sobbing mess , but I had to hold on .

A cool head got me through my marriage to Dane .

It got me through the political machinations of my first few years in High Alpine .

It could get me through this , if I could just stay calm .

I gripped my shaking hands together .

To my shock , Dane noticed .

He took them in both of his , then pulled me close .

Chapter 88 Dane , our children .

I whispered .

Theyre barely more than babies … if anything happens to them … 3/5 He held me as my walls cracked and tears streamed down my checks .

DANE 1 held onto Aurora .

Though we werent bonded , it was like I could feel her distress .

To have her in so much pain and to be able to do nothing about it made me feel like I was going insane .

But I could feel the dark undercurrent of the fear , as well .

My children were missing .

My daughter .

My son .

Their faces flashed through my mind , bright and smiling .

The thought of what might be happening to them of them experiencing fear or pain for only a moment it made me feel like I was being slowly crushed .

I held her , but she was as much an anchor for me as I was for her .

I whispered into her hair , Dont worry .

Ill find them .

I swear it .

***** EVELYN Chapter 88 4/5 I woke to chaos .

When I called for my breakfast , no one brought it to me .

Annoyed , I got out of bed and got dressed to go see what was happening .

The pack bond was too full of chatter for me to understand any of it except that someone was missing .

I didnt worry much about it .

I wasnt going to be put in charge .

of any search efforts .

I got dressed .

I hadnt seen Dane all day yesterday , but with his grandfather dying , I figured he just wanted his space .

So I decided to leave him alone before I showed him my evidence .

I pulled out my phone to look at the picture again .

Aurora fleeing Holdens room , neither of them completely dressed .

Goddess , it was so perfect , I wanted to laugh .

I walked out into the hall and snagged the first wolf that ran by .

She was a teen girl the granddaughter of one of the pack elders .

I knew her from some of the acting classes I taught some of the younger wolves from time to time when Dane was busy , and I was bored .

Sometimes , I thought I knew the members of his pack better than he did .

Daisy, I said , Whats going on ? Oh , Ms.

Barclay ! she said , Its terrible ! Those little twins from the other pack are missing ! 4 Chapter 88 Twins ? Auroras twins ? 5/5 Without meaning to , my grip on her arm tightened .

Were they alone ? No.

Their nanny went missing with them .

I swallowed and let her go .

Thank you , Daisy .

She ran off , but I stayed where I was , rooted to the spot .

The twins were missing .

And theyd gone missing with my mother .

I asked her to do something about Aurora , I whispered to the empty hallway .

I didnt mean this !
