Blood And Silver:Rise of the Alpha’s Rejected Mate
Chapter 145

Chapter 145 AURORA I fout him , my mind pulling back from everything this creature was , everything it wanted from me .

But he leaned over me , grinned , and inhaled .

Black smoke rose from my chest and curled into a ball of black obsidian that hung between us , like a dark mirror image of the pearl pendant that had channeled my power as a healer .

I felt my heart start to turn cold as one by one , my memories of the good things in my life began to wink out like dying stars .

Evanders easy smile .

Trajans steadying voice .

Dane kissing me .

Dane … My children laughing as I read them a story .

It was all slipping away .

No ! I cried .

I tried to fight him , to hold on , but it was like water slipping through my fingers .

My heart screamed for what I was losing and started to freeze .

Chapter 145 At the same time , memories of my life as a young woman in Broken Forest were revealed .

The Reeds twisting my mind as a little girl , corrupting me , forcing me to believe that the only way I could be worthy and loved was to embrace loss , pain , and the dark .

Tha .

s what the Nameless wanted from me .

To be his beacon of pain .

To spread it across the world .

I had to fight .

Desperately , I flung my mind , and my heart out , searching for an anchor .

Something to hold just a small part of me .

There was no moon tonight , only darkness outside the windows .

And yet … I suddenly felt the smallest touch of … something … and a voice whispered , Even in the darkest times , I am here .

I grasped that power .

It was all I needed .

Dane … ! **** DANE I ran in my big , dark gray wolf body at the head of my newly enlarged pack back to the pack house .

The nighttime forest whipped by as we surged downhill through trees and undergrowth .

Piper needed me .

Holden was there .

Id lost Aurora already , I Chapter 145 3/5 couldnt lose my sister , too .

I had to get to her in time .

I had to Dane … ! My paw caught on a root at the edge of an outcropping .

I stumbled and my head slammed into a stone .

Darkness washed Ove AURORA I blinked , and suddenly I wasnt in the terrible , cold palace with the Nameless .

I was on a hill , overlooking a wide lake in the middle of thick woods .

The lake and sky were blue with coming evening .

The trees were golden with autumn leaves .

Aurora ? I spun .

It was Dane .

He ran down the hill toward me and caught me in his arms .

I pressed my face against his chest .

I couldnt believe it , but he looked and felt and smelled so real , so good .

Like himself .

Dane … youre alive ? His face was grim , but he lifted the pearl pendant I had dropped near his hand .

Thanks to you .

Where are we ? I dont know , I- My gaze caught on the sky just above the trees , where a round , white moon hung .

It was much larger than it was supposed to be .

4/5 Chapter 145 But that didnt make any sense .

It was the new moon right now .

The sky was supposed to be completely dark .

I cannot give you much , a feminine voice whispered .

I cant stop whats happening to you only you can .

But I can give you one .

moment to cling to .

One moment of hope .

One stolen second .

of ti .

between time .

Dont waste it .

The years ahead will be dark … The voice faded .

I met Danes dark eyes .

That was the goddess .

What did she mean , years ? he growled .

He still held me in his arms , and they tightened around me .

Weve been through so fucking much .

Were the goddesss chosen , arent we ? We tried to do what she wanted and free the relic but found shadows instead .

Why should we have to deal with more ? Another person might not have heard the anguish hidden in the powerful Alphas voice , but I did .

I knew him so well .

I raised my hand to his cheek .

Were the goddesss chosen , I said in a heavy voice , though I managed to hold back my tears .

Were needed .

By her .

Maybe by the whole world .

Danes eyes were shadowed by a fall of his dark hair as he cupped my face and tilted it back so he could brush his lips over mine .

I dont give a damn about the world , Aurora .

All I care about is you and our family .

I would burn the world , myself if it meant I could have you .

My breath caught .

You cant say things like that .

Im not worth Chapter 145 it .

5/5 His fingers tightened , gently digging into my chin .

To me your are .

To me , youre everything .

What will happen to our children if the world burns ? I want you .

tears choked my voice , and it took everything in me to push them back down .

… but we have to think about them .

Their future .

I swallowed .

The moon goddess had said that we were in a moment of time between time .

Already , I can feel it slipping away from us .

I hesitated , then said , My body is somewhere , tied to a throne with cords of silver , while the dark creature that opposed the goddess is drawing out all of my memories one by one .

No , Dane growled .

The response was a knee jerk reaction , as if he could command me to remain myself .

Theres nothing we can do , I whispered , We dont have much time … Danes eyes seared into mine .

What do you need me to do ?
