Blood And Silver:Rise of the Alpha’s Rejected Mate
Chapter 15

Chapter 15 1/6 AURORA I clenched my phone in my hand .

Missing ? I asked .

What about Mrs.

Melville ? Who , the nanny ? Grandma Augusta asked .

I have no idea .

I bit down on a retort .

I hated when wolves acted like wolves who worked as pack servants were expendable , but my grandmother wasnt the kind of woman who would know the help .

It was one of her less charming qualities .

I closed my eyes and wished desperately that I had my wolf .

That I could reach out over a pack bond and find them .

But I didnt .

All I had was a cell phone .

I sent panicked texts to the kids and Evander , then to Trajan .

The twins are missing ! He texted me back a moment later .

The Blue Ridge wolves are settled .

Im coming .

I ran downstairs .

My heart was beating a million miles a minute .

My thoughts raced .

Where could they be ? Why are they gone ? Chapter 15 2/6 Who would have done this ? There was only one person who might hate me enough to want my children gone .

Lilliana .

I pressed a hand to my chest , trying to slow my racing heart as I went down the stairs .

I would call Lilliana .

Make her tell me everything .

Get on a plane back to Europe .

Id figure this out .

I would … Just as I reached the door , someone knocked .

Distracted , I pulled it open .

Hi , mommy ! My mouth dropped open .

The twins were on my doorstep .

Evander was right behind them , with Mrs.

Melville next to him .

I gasped and dropped to my knees , holding my arms out for my children .

They ran to me , and I hugged them close , breathing in their sweet scent .

Then I pulled back to look from them to Evander .

What is going on ? Why are you here ? Chapter 15 Evander glanced around then stepped inside , pulling Mrs.

Melville in with him .

The older woman straightened her gray bun and greeted me nervously .

Hello , Ms.

DeVere .

Hello , I said .

Im so confused .

Whats going on ? 3/6 Whose cars are in the driveway ? Evander asked .

I thought it .

was just you and Trajan here .

It was until this morning , I said .

I glanced down at the children and cleared my throat .

Dane has decided that his partner needs more security .

There are Blue Ridge wolves here ? Evander said .

He lowered his voice and whispered , Shit .

Mommy , Evander said a bad word ! Tristan gasped .

I wrapped my arms around both my children and picked them up .

I couldnt stop hugging them .

At the same time , I was terrified that Piper or another of the Blue Ridge wolves would see them and ask what two children were doing here .

Come upstairs , I said .

I mentally filled Trajan in on the situation , and he met us in my suite of rooms .

We all went inside , then closed and locked the doors .

What the Trajan glanced at the children , then closed his mouth .

What are you doing here ? What I have to say cant be said in front of the children , Evander said into my mind .

He had some strains of Alpha magic , so he Chapter 15 4/6 could talk into my head when he had to .

His face was deathly serious .

At the same time , Seraphina yawned .

Im so tired , Mommy .

We spent hours and hours on an airplane ! I nodded , hugged Tristan and Seraphina close one more time , then set them down .

Mrs.

Melville , through those doors ist another room .

Maybe you can go and get the children settled ? Hurriedly , Mrs.

Melville took the twins through the sitting area where we were and into a secondary bedroom .

It wasnt set up for children , but I was already running things through my mind , figuring out how quickly I could make that happen .

Tell us .

Trajan growled at Evander .

Evander nodded , pacing back and forth .

Unlike Trajan , who could be still as a stone when it suited him , Evander never stopped moving .

Someone tried to poison them , he said .

My heart started to race again , like it had when I thought they were missing .

Poison ? I whispered .

Evander nodded .

Luckily , Mrs.

Melville scented it in their food before she fed it to them .

If I had a wolf , I wouldve transformed right then and there and torn something apart .

5/6 Chapter 15 Did you find out who it was ? I asked .

Because I knew .

Evander and Trajan exchanged looks .

Theyd also become good friends since Id introduced them to each other .

We dont have any evidence , Evander said carefully .

I didnt rage often , and I knew it was making him nervous .

I started pacing .

Grandmother will have to listen to me about Lilliana this time .

She attacked the twins ! Shell demand proof , Trajan said .

If you accuse her again and she wriggles out of it like she did last time , your grandmother will disown you .

I made a wordless sound of rage .

Lilliana had been the bane of my existence since the DeVeres rediscovered me .

At least the Reeds had been hateful to my face .

Lilliana preferred to smile , then stab you in the back when you werent expecting it .

Someone knocked on the door of my rooms .

Startled , I gestured Evander to get out of sight , then went to open it .

Piper stood on the other side .

She smiled apologetically .

Piper , how can I … ? I trailed off .

Dane loomed behind her .

In the other room , one of the children started to cry .
