Chapter 80
Chapter 79 the life left him .
5/5 He was gone .
Rage flooded through me .
As Celia entered , I turned and left the infirmary , stopping only to check on my sister .
Alive , thank the goddess .
I left the room , the seams of my clothes tearing as anger took me over and I grew into my lycan form .
Blood & Silver : Rise of the Alphas Rejected … 1/5 Chapter 80 AURORA I walked through the halls searching for Dane .
As I got close , I started to hear wolves growling , crying , howling .
My heart felt plunged into a bucket of ice .
Those were mourning sounds .
A door opened beside me , then a big hand grabbed me and pulled me into the room .
It was some kind of closet .
What the- ? Shh .
Holden put a finger to my lips .
I jerked my head away but kept my voice low .
Whats going on ? Why is Blue Ridge in mourning ? Holden grasped me by both shoulders .
Aurora , Connall died .
What ? He pressed his hand over my mouth again .
You heard me .
Danes grandfather is dead , and they believe its because of you .
I clutched the place over my heart , my knees going out from under me .
Chapter 80 Connall , gone ? He was such a kind old man .
One of the few people who genuinely loved me .
One of the rare ones who thought I could be happy with Danc .
2/5 For those few years we were married , Id come to look on him as my own grandfather .
He was gone , and my actions my thoughtless experiment had killed him .
Tears streamed down my face .
I forced steel into my spine and turned toward the door .
What are you doing ? Holden demanded .
He grabbed me and forcibly held me back .
Youre not going out there .
Yes I am ! I have to see him .
I have to pay my respects ! If you go , some random Blue Ridge wolf will find you in the hall , and they will tear you limb from limb ! Then Ill have to challenge him , and there will be war , Aurora .
Is that what you want ? For your beloved Dane and Blue Ridge to go to war with a pack ten times older than them , with pack members who sit on the Council ? His words rolled off me like rain on glass .
I didnt have time to think about this .
I had to get to Dane .
I had to explain .
To come clean about everything .
I fought Holden with all my strength , but I was wolfless .
Nothing I did could make him let me go .
Not unless … vas thinking .
Its all right .
Just rely on me .
Let me take care of you , Aurora .
Im- Whatever he was going to say was lost in the next moment as he finally did what I was waiting for and relaxed his grip .
I drove my elbow into his chest and shoved away from him with all my strength .
I ripped open the closet door and ran .
Holden tore out of the small room behind me .
Aurora ! Get back here ! He was too fast .
He caught me and shoved me against the wall .
His body pressed against mine , and he stared me down with greedy eyes .
Theres only one way to keep you safe .
Montague wont go to war .
The only way to protect you is if you become my mate .
What ? No ! Yes , he growled .
Im going to claim you .
Im going to mark you .
Right now .
He wrenched open the door of the small room wed just been inside .
It was dark .
The doors and walls in the pack house were so thick .
If he got got me in there , no one would hear me scream .
I had no wolf , no pack bond to call for help .
Chapter 80 I had no hope .
4/5 Holden hauled me back into the room .
He was already breathing hard .
I wasnt sure if it was from exertion or anticipation ..
You were supposed to be my friend , I said through clenched teeth , still fighting him .
I wanted to cry .
I was terrified and heartbroken .
The only thing I had to protect myself was my dignity , my command .
But it was failing me .
Everything was so chaotic ; I couldnt get myself under control , His mouth was next to my ear , his heaving , hot breath gusting against it .
He bent and ran his tongue along the outside of it , wet and sticky .
I am your friend .
And Im going to become so much more .
He closed the door .
As the last sliver of light disappeared , I screamed .
Dane ! Da- Holdens hand closed around my neck and squeezed until I gagged .
None of that , he muttered .
He pulled my hair aside and pressed a kiss to my neck .
One quick fuck , he said , one bite here , then youll finally be mine .
There was a deafening , splintering squeal of metal and wood .
The darkness disappeared , and light flooded the room .
A shadow stood , outlined in the light .
A huge , furred body .
Charcoal gray fur .
Dane .
Chapter 20 5/5 I looked up , my eyes wide .
Fear flooded me .
Why was he in his lycan form ? When he looked down into my eyes , all I saw was rage .
He wrapped his giant clawed hands around my biceps and lifted me into the air .
When Holden grabbed for me , Dane took his head in one claw and threw him against the back wall .
Holden flew into it , denting the drywall with his impact .
My grandfather is dead ! the words were almost a roar .
His grip was so hard , I thought he might snap my bones .
My grandfather is dead , and I find you in here with him ! He could snap my bones , if he wanted .
Without even a thought , he could break me .
P please , I whispered .
Dane , you have to listen .
No more listening , Dane growled .
His eyes were gold in the dim light.
Im going to do what I should have done before .
Then , with Holden still in a daze , Dane carried me out of the house , across the field , and into the wild darkness of the forest .
