Blood And Silver:Rise of the Alpha’s Rejected Mate
Chapter 140

Chapter 140 TRORA .

I didnt get to an it Wondon gestured and the wolves whod been holding Dane betonc appeared as if from nowhere and grabbed him .

No ! No one listened to me .

They dragged him away .

1 ran out after them .

Our time was up .

Dane was about to die .

an to the pillar faster than the wolves who dragged Dane and put myself in front of it .

Move , girl , Esther snarled .

This is happening the way it was always meant to .

I dont care how it was mucaud to happen .

I drew myself up my full height and glared down at her , using everything Id learned about being an ice queen in billionaire boardrooms over the last five yours 2/5 Chapter 140 For once , Esther actually shrank back .

She looked small , her hair lank , her skin papery .

In that moment , I saw what an old woman she had become .

Or maybe shed always been this old , this fragile , and only fear had made her appear like she was stronger than I was .

The moon has risen .

The ritual has to be performed now , Waylon snarled .

Get out of my way .

Theres no time .

He had his knife out .

The ritual .

He was right , we were running out of time .

+ What would happen if I ran out the clock ? If the moon passed its highest point and started to set , wed lose our chance .

If that happened … then what ? The shadows wouldnt disappear .

There would still be attacks .

Everyone would still be in danger .

But Dane would live , and hed gotten us through danger before .

Maybe I could throw off the ritual , save him , and we could figure something else out .

I could call Evanders father , my uncle Winston .

He was a scholar of magic ; he might know something .

Waylon moved forward threateningly .

At his side , so did Esther .

I faced them alone , the monsters of my childhood .

Dane was held by a half dozen wolves behind him .

Trajan was protecting my children .

3/5 Chapter 140 I had the magic the goddess gave me , but it seemed to be for healing .

Not a weapon I could use against people with wolves .

What I wouldnt have given to have it be a weapon , like Evelyns .

Are you there ? I reached out to the guardian with its smoky , thick magic .

Can you help me ? I can do nothing until Im freed , it answered .

The only thing that can break my chains is the magic in his blood .

But you said I could have him ! I protested .

All that mattered is that Dane lived .

Everything else could be figured out later .

The guardian didnt answer .

Had it lied to me ? Waylon took another step toward me .

He might be old and skinny , but he still had a wolf when I didnt .

If he got ahold of me , he could toss me to the side with ease .

I had to surprise him .

Instead of waiting for him to charge me , I lunged at him with clawed fingers .

What the- ? He lifted his hands to protect his face .

But I wasnt going for his face .

At the last minute , I dropped my hands and took the knife out of his belt .

Chapter 140 4/5 You want someone with Danes blood ? I asked , stepping back so I pressed against the stone .

It was cold at my back .

I could almost feel the guardian inside it , like a mountain lion poised on a cliff above an unsuspecting deer , ready to pounce .

Ilied the knife and pointed the blade at myself .

Well , I carried his tod .

I had his children .

Id read somewhere that mothers and children could exchange blood through the umbilical cord .

If I spilled some , would it be enough ? There was no way it could be .

But maybe it would weaken the guardians chains enough that he could break them , himself , and no one would have to die .

After all , I had other magic from the goddess , didnt I ? Magic that let me heal .

Maybe that could magnify whatever chain breaking magic from Dane that might still be in me .

No ! Dane shouted .

Aurora , what are you doing ? I didnt know .

I only knew I was desperate , and I hoped to the goddess Trajan was making sure the children werent looking .

What I have to , I said .

I lifted the dagger , ready to plunge it into me .

There was a roar .

A flash of silver power .

Chapter 140 The wolves whod held Dane went flying .

A lycan with charcoal gray fur and gold eyes surged forward .

Dane .

I thought he would stop and fight Waylon .

5/5 He didnt .

he shoved the other Alpha out of the way and moved .

to me .

He gripped my hand that held the knife .

We can figure something out , I said .

I didnt realize I was crying until that moment .

It doesnt have to be this way .

Danes golden wolfs eyes were filled with sadness .

Yes it does .

Otherwise , you , the children , and the pack will be in danger forever .

I wont let that happen .

Then he snatched the dagger from my grasp , pushed me from my place in front of the stone , and drove the blade of the knife into his own heart .
