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

Chapter 194 1/7 AURORA The turmoil in my head.

I stayed on the edge of the bed, drawing my legs close up against... the weight of Holdens words still heavy upon me.

Why did every door, every open door in life always have to cwith stype of price? I held the pearl pendant that lay against my chest, it had a cool surface.

The thought of having to deal with Holden felt like a touch of acid in my stomach.

There had to be another way, yet every avenue was covered in the shadow of the Nameless.

My thoughts went back to Dane.

He would always know what to do... he did.

I closed my eyes and reached for the bond between us, that fragile connection that was my lifeline during dark times.

Dane, can you hear me? Silence.

I balled my fists, harder yet, and pushed every piece of energy I Chapter 194 2/7 had into that bond.

Sweat trickled beading on my forehead, and again and again, I hollered to him with: Dane, please ... I need you.

Just answer me.

Still, nothing.

It felt weak and distant, something that was slipping ever more out of my grasp.

Frustration settled in my stomach.

I was tired, my strength reducing, the breaths reducing.

The room spun slightly as, voice shaking, I tried once more.

Dane, I whispered, hands shaking.

Please... I just cant do this without you.

The pearl pendant at my neck began to warm against my skin, and that was miraculous enough to freezein place.

I looked down at the thing in wonder as its glow intensified.

What in ... The words wouldnt get out before the light enveloped me, bright and overpowering.

The room was gone, replaced by a huge sea of light colored silver bursting.

The air glimmered, thick with power, and then she materialized.

The Moon Goddess.

Her form was ethereal, slipping from a shining, silver figure to a Chapter 194 3/7 softer, maternal presence.

Her eyes settled on me, piercing yet kind.

Aurora, she said, her voice coming from all directions at once It seemed.

I fell to my knees as the overwhelming presence made my heart shift.

Goddess, I managed to say, my voice shaking.

You are in distress, she said, drifting closer, Your bond with Dane is weakened but not broken.

Ill try calling for him.

I said, almost in a panic.

But its like he doesnt exist anymore.

And I dont know what to do.

Her expression softened then, and she knelt before me, her hand hovering above the pendant.

The Namelesss power clouds many things, but the bond you share is strong.

Trust it.

Her words put a sliver of hope in me, but as she continued, her gaze darkened.

Aurora, you must prepare yourself.

A great disaster is at hand.

The Nameless is cunning and will strike when least expected.

What disaster? I asked, trembling.

She didnt say it fdirectly but her eyes moved to the pendant.

This shall guide you when the tcomes.

Believe in yourself, Aurora .

Your choices will decide the course of all.

With that said, before I could ask more, the light that outlined Chapter 194 her figure started to disappear, and she melted into the silver mist.

4/7 Wait ! I called out, reaching for her, but was brought back into the room.

I gasped, clutching the pendant as the vision faded.

The pounding of my heart against my chest, the warning of the goddess echoed through my brain over and over again.

The day cby weirdly with a lot of tension.

The pack was in a high state of readiness, with movements sharp and purposeful as reports cin about an attack.

I stood at the heart of the command room, scanning across the reports that littered the table.

There was something not quite right.

The attacks were scattered and disorganized, far from the way the Nameless normally acted.

This doesnt make sense, I muttered, pacing the room.

Trajan was standing beside him, his arms crossed.

It doesnt have to make sense, Aurora .

Its happening.

We need to act.

I shook my I a burn of frustration rising beneath my skin.

No.

Its too convenient.

Hes trying to spread us thin.

Cant you.

see that? Convenient or not, we cant ignore it, Trajan shot back.

Chapter 194 5/7 Patience, I insisted, firmly.

We need to assess this carefully.

If we rush in, were walking straight into a trap.

But the pack was itchy, their confidence inalready shaken.

after all that had taken place.

Rumblings went through the room, hesitation palpable in their eyes.

She hesitates again, a low whisper.

We cannot wait any more, another added.

Trajan strode forward, his movement unyielding.

I will lead the attack, he said.

If you wont take action, I will.

No, Trajan..

I started, but he was already running.

The assault group shipped out in a matter of minutes, their outlines disappearing into the woods.

I remained behind; my gut filled with suspicions.

Hours passed silently, like an eternity , While everything graduallheightened in tension. I began moving up and down in the command room, my mind racing.

And then that report cin.

Trajans team has been ambushed, a scout informedhis voice tight with fear. My blood ran cold.

Where? He pointed to the map, his hand shaking.

Here.

The old ruins Chapter 194 by the western border.

I grabbed my gear and headed for the door, determination.

fueling my steps.

You cant go alone, Piper said, stepping in my path.

I dont have any choice, I said, pushing past her.

When I at last cupon the ruins, chaos was in total dominance.

6/7 The air was so heavy with the stench of blood and fear one could smell it.

Trajans team was scattered fighting desperately against the Nameless.

I scanned the ground for Trajan as my heart pounded in my chest.

Then I saw him locked in combat with a huge shadow creature.

Trajan! I shouted, my voice filled with the clatter of clashing swords.

The second thing heard was how that monster tore its.

sharp claws into his side and made Trajan stumble through sluggish movement.

Trajan! I shouted, rushing towards him.

Before reaching him, a surge in shadows covered him tightly among them; The darkness wrapped itself to such an end that all life was strangled off of him, his gaze met mine. Aurora, run away! he yelled.

Chapter 194 No! I screamed, reaching for him.

7/7 The shadows dragged him back, his form disappearing into the dark.

Trajan! I shrieked, but it was too late.

He was gone.

The sounds of the battle faded around me, replaced by the hollow ache of loss.

I fell to my knees, holding the pendant as tears streamed from my face. Moon goddess, what should I do now? I whispered, my voice cracking. B Write your comment
