Blood And Silver:Rise of the Alpha’s Rejected Mate
Chapter 115

Chapter 115 DANE I stood between Aurora and the oncoming rogues .

They were the same mysterious women wed met in the woods .

Power still burned through me like fire .

I wasnt exactly surprised to be one of the people chosen by the ceremony .

It felt like wed been in over our heads with gods and dark forces for a while now .

But that didnt mean I had expected it , or that I wasnt humbled by the goddesss choice .

Stand down , I growled to my pack .

They obeyed , parting so the women could come nearer .

The women stopped at the edge of the ceremonial circle that had been painted onto the grass .

There , they bowed .

Greetings , she said , To the goddesss chosen king and queen .

King ? No.

I had enough on my plate as Alpha of Blue Ridge .

I squared my shoulders and folded my arms across my chest .

There was nothing to say about the king comment , so I ignored it .

Are you finally going to tell us your name and who you are ? Their leader smiled .

Im Camila , and we are the shield maidens of the goddess .

Guardians of the queen .

Chapter 115 2/4 Confusion was written across Auroras face , and she darted a glance to where Evelyn stood up on the deck , watching us all silently .

But there were two women chosen .

Are we both- ? Camiles eyes flashed to Evelyn .

No , she said to Aurora .

Youre the queen if queen is even the right word for it .

I can feel it in the magic that binds us together .

She is the First Shield .

Our leader .

And your most powerful protector .

Aurora made a squawking sound that sounded like she was trying to laugh around a suddenly dry throat .

Evelyn … my protector ? I raised a brow .

Thats not going to work .

Camilas dark gaze snapped to me .

Its not for you to say .

Then her eyes dropped to the ground , as if she was remembering something , and her voice went quiet .

Its not for any of us to decide whether or not were called , or what were called to do .

Trust me .

We should have this conversation inside , Aurora said .

I couldnt blame them for thinking she was a queen .

She held her chin high , and though her eyes were still red from all the crying she had done in the last few days , her face didnt give any of her thoughts or feelings away .

I agreed and dismissed the pack .

I could feel their curiosity .

Their confusion .

I was also curious and confused .

There was new magic in my body .

I felt stronger , sharper .

But I had no idea what I could do .

3/4 Chapter 115 I had no idea why these people would call me a king .

We went into a conference room : me .

Aurora .

Evelyn , Camila , and one other of the female rogues who claimed to be the shield maidens of the moon goddess .

This is getting ridiculous , Aurora said as soon as the doors .

closed .

Queen ? Really ? Camila shrugged .

She looked like she was about thirty .

She also had the look of a woman who didnt have time for nonsense .

How about the destined female leader who will unite wolves and their allies against threats you cant even imagine and lead them through a war like theyve never known ? I think queen is a little easier to say , even if it feels dramatic .

Aurora sighed , took a seat , and pinched the bridge of her nose between her thumb and forefinger .

Everything lately is dramatic .

She dropped her hand and gestured to chairs around the table .

Sit .

Please .

It seems like you all know things we dont .

Id like to know what you know .

Everyone sat .

I took the seat on Auroras right .

Evelyn sat halfway down the table from us .

Camila and her companion sat across from her .

Camila began to speak .

Like I said , were the shield maidens of the moon goddess .

We all heard the call , we all abandoned our packs .

It was … hard .

Some of us left lovers .

Some even left children .

At first , I thought Chapter 115 I was crazy .

Then we started finding each other .

So , youre warriors ? I asked .

4/4 Camila shook her head .

All of us can fight , but only some of us are dedicated warriors .

Some are healers , some , I think , are meant to be diplomats and advisors .

A few , like me , can hear the voice of the goddess .

Sometimes we see visions .

Evelyn tilted her head .

Like the goddess put together a court of handmaidens ready made for her chosen queen ? Yes , said Camile .

And you are her first choice .

You are supposed to be the queens greatest ally .

Her fiercest protector .

The goddess has said that there will come a time when the fates of all the wolves in the world will be in her queens hands … and the queens life will be in yours .

Evelyn and Aurora stared at each other .

Then Evelyn sat back in her chair .

Unhappily , she said , Theres one problem with that .

I hate this woman .

She took everything from me .

Id watch her die in a heartbeat .
