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

Chapter 77 AURORA What ? My breath froze in my throat .

Dane moved toward me .

I dont want to exile you .

But maybe it would be better if you stayed somewhere else on pack land .

Like my grandfathers house .

You want me away from the pack house ? I asked .

What about my children ? Danes jaw worked .

Theyll be safer here .

I rose .

Then the answer is no .

11 Dont you dare defy our Alpha , Evelyn said aggressively .

I whirled on her.

You wont separate me from my children .

I looked between her and Archer , my anger making me reckless .

Im sure Archer wouldnt want to be separated from you .

Would you , beta ? I thought Id seen Eveyln with wide eyes before .

That was nothing compared to now .

They looked like they might pop out of her head .

I dont know what youre talking about , Archer said without Chapter 77 2/5 missing a beat .

Im her protector .

Of course , I wouldnt want to be separated from her .

Dane frowned at all of us .

Im not sure whats happening here , but I want everyone except Celia out of the infirmary .

We moved outside while Dane stayed behind to check on hist family .

Once we were in the hall , Evelyn got in my face .

I always knew you were evil .

I wouldnt be surprised if you used some kind of spell or something to trick the DeVeres into thinking youre one of them .

Youre the same youve always been , just some pathetic Broken Forest bitch .

I leaned down and whispered , At least my children are Danes .

In a flash , she grew claws and pulled her hand back to slash my face , but Holden caught her hand .

He threw her back .

Go , Evelyn .

Or well see how many of your secrets we know between the two of us .

Evelyns eyes flared , but at Holdens command , she backed off .

What secrets of hers do you know ? I asked curiously .

Holden gave me his classic charming smile .

None .

But if she thinks I do , thats the same thing , isnt it ? But unlike every other time he had smiled at me , it didnt quite reach his eyes … And I didnt know if I believed him .

Chapter 77 3/5 Come on , Holden said .

The last few days have been intense .

Lets go relax and spend the day with the twins .

I think I should wait to speak to Dane , I said .

Holden shook his head .

Today is the exact reason your grandmother asked me to be here .

We both know he could benefit from time to cool down .

I worried my bottom lip between my teeth , but I hadnt slept well the night before , and after the dream , I was so tired .

A quiet day with the twins sounded like exactly what I needed .

I waited for Dane to come to me all day to talk about what happened .

He didnt .

Even though I loved spending the day with my children and Holden was always welcome company , by the time night came , I was worried .

Holden brought me to his rooms .

They were smaller than mine -just a sitting area and a large bedroom .

But wolves from Fall Line were staying in all the rooms around us , and Trajan insisted on standing outside the door until I sent him back to be with the twins .

At least I knew we were safe from retribution from any Blue Ridge pack members who hated me .

You have to stop pacing , Holden said .

Chapter 77 4/5 I didnt realize I was pacing until he said it .

I paused and took a breath .

Since becoming Aurora DeVere , I hated it when my nerves showed .

I could try to hide them now , but Holden would see through them anyway .

Why hasnt he come to me , Holden ? The last thing that he said to me was that he wanted me to leave .

When is he going to show up and tell me whether hes going to force me to go ? He can try .

Holden growled .

He approached me and held out a glass of wine .

I took it .

I didnt usually drink , but I needed something to distract me .

But if he does , I think he knows your grandmother will retaliate .

But what if I should go somewhere else ? Like to his grandfathers little house on the mountain .

I would do it , but the twins have to come with me .

I wont leave them behind .

I know , I know , Holden said soothingly .

He gently stopped me and pulled me into a hug .

I let him , taking comfort in my friends strength .

Come on , he said .

He led me to the table and refilled my wine .

I wasnt sure when Id drunk it all , but I wasnt surprised , as unsettled as I was .

Things have been insane .

Were going to sit here and talk and drink and forget our problems .

If Dane doesnt come speak to you early tomorrow , well go speak to him .

I gave him a grateful smile .

All right .

Thank you , Holden .

Youre a good friend .

Chapter 77 Darling , Im more than that .

Im your fiancé , remember ? I laughed as he winked , then lifted my wine and drank .

***** 5/5 I was woken the next morning by the sun slanting across my eyes .

I groaned and turned over .

My mouth tasted sour .

My hand hit something warm .

I opened my eyes .

Thats when I realized , I wasnt in my own room .

I was still in Holdens room .

In his bed .

And we were both naked .
