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

Chapter 87 1/4 AURORA He couldnt be serious .

He wouldnt risk war .

Blue Ridge was powerful , but there was no way it could stand against Fall Line and High Alpine .

I know you care , I said .

Thats why youre such an incredible .

Alpha .

He grunted , then changed the subject .

I can agree to speak to the children at least .

I wanted to suggest staying here tonight .

To be together … but also so I can search this place for anything left by my grandfather .

At mention of Connall Montague , a wave of sadness rocked me .

Id be happy to help you honor him .

Is there anything specific youre looking for ? A trouble look crossed Danes face .

He said something before he died .

Something about what were doing requiring a sacrifice .

It sounded like he knew something we dont .

I hope to find clue to it .

I agreed , and we got up and began the search .

Going through Connalls personal papers was part investigation , part a walk down memory lane for Dane .

His grandfather had a safe in his office , and much of what was inside was personal family mementos .

2/4 Including a picture of his parents .

I was the one to pull the picture from the box of photos .

A man and a woman standing in front of the pack house with their arms around each other .

Two children stood in front of them a boy of about eight and a girl of maybe five .

The picture looked at least twenty years old , and their family seemed so happy .

I flinched at the sight and almost slid the picture back into the box .

If anyone was going to present Dane with a photo of his murdered parents , it shouldnt be me .

But he saw it and caught my wrist before I could let go .

He took the picture and lifted it .

He looked troubled , but he still smiled .

I wondered if I should ask , but if Dane wanted to be with me , this was something we would need to learn to talk about .

Do … you miss them ? I asked carefully .

He nodded , then slid the picture into his pocket .

Because he regularly spent the night here , he had changes of clothes in one of the closets .

A good thing , since transforming in what he was wearing this morning had shredded his clothes .

I wasnt sure how far I could push his boundaries , so I decided to just ask .

I want to ask you about them , Dane .

But Im not sure if that will be too painful for you .

He looked at me in surprise .

You speak whatever is on your Chapter 87 mind , dont you ? 3/4 When Im with people I know .

I said .

In business , or when Im with someone I dont trust , no .

I keep as much hidden then as I can.

But if you want us to be together … I want to be open with you .

Dane cleared his throat , then pulled the picture out again .

My father was like my grandfather .

Good with people .

He loved parties , and he was always laughing .

Piper takes after him .

Im like my mother .

She was more serious , quiet .

Some pack members said it was hard to get close to her , but she loved who she loved fiercely .

I can see that in you , I said .

He swallowed like he was feeling some strong emotion and said , Thank you .

I still miss them .

He ran his thumb over the image of Pipers face .

Dont worry , little sister .

Ill save you .

In that moment , swearing to protect his little sister , he reminded me so much of Tristan and the way he protected Seraphina that my throat closed , and I couldnt speak .

I wanted to help him in any way I could , but I was afraid anything I said right now , any promise I made , would sound hollow , considering that I had just caused the death of his grandfather .

We stayed the night , with Dane using his pack bond to let the Chapter 87 others know that we were both safe .

Otherwise , I was afraid Trajan would have hunted us down .

4/4 He made love to me that night , again insisting that we focus.

on my pleasure .

Every time he brought me to orgasm , I felt my heart wrap around his a little more .

I still didnt know what to do .

I was still afraid of the darkness .

hidden inside me .

The more I fell for him , the more I feared what being close to me would do to him .

The next morning , we returned to the pack house .

Just as we got to the door , Trajan and Evander came rushing out .

Aurora ! Evander grabbed me .

My cousins light purple eyes .

were huge with fear .

Its the twins .

Theyre missing , and so is Mrs.

Jamison ! Just then , there was a noise .

A howl of pain that came from the woods in the direction of Broken Forest pack land .
