Blood And Silver:Rise of the Alpha’s Rejected Mate
Chapter 180

Chapter 180 1/7 AURORA Its time .

The growling voice was like a ripple in the air , an ominous echo that didnt leave room for doubt .

The earth beneath our feet cracked further , cold seeping into my bones in an alien embrace .

Danes grip on me tightened , his body coiled and tense , ready to shield me from whatever was coming .

Before we could act , the air in the cell shimmered with an unnatural light , and we were both torn apart by some invisible force .

I hit the floor hard , the breath knocked out of me , as Dane struggled against unseen bonds pinning him in place .

No ! I cried , reaching for him .

But the Namelesss voice boomed again , cutting through the thick tension .

Hush now , my dear .

Were just beginning .

The cell shifted , its oppressive energy growing denser , and the cracks in the ground seemed to radiate with dark magic .

I see your people are worried about you … they dont know what is coming for them , do they ? the Nameless shrieked and 2/7 Chapter 180 laughed out loud .

I stared at him in confusion , I balled up my fist and managed to get on my knees , How do you know … Ohh … maybe I should show you .

He spread out his hand and a dark smoke came out of his clawed fingers .

The smoke circled up to me and I sniffed as it hung in front of me .

Figures formed inside it and I widened my eyes in shock , I saw Trajan and Evander in the war room .

Shit , so this scum could see out every move .

Trajan paced the war room , his claws half extended , his jaw set in a grim line .

Evander stood at the table , staring down at the hasty map they had drawn from the Namelesss lair .

Shes been gone too long , Trajan growled , slamming his fist against the table .

We should have stopped her , Evander shot him a sharp look .

And how would you have done that ? You know Aurora .

When she makes up her mind , nothing stops her .

Our job now is to get her back .

Trajans golden eyes flickered with frustration , but he didnt argue .

Instead , he turned his attention back to the map .

Well take the eastern side .

The defenses there should be weaker .

If were quiet … Evander cut him off with a dry laugh .

Quiet doesnt work with the Nameless .

Hell know were coming .

1 or not ? Evanders lips pressed into a thin line before he nodded .

Im in .

But we need to move now .

Every second we waste , shes further away from us .

The two men burst into their wolf forms , bodies lengthening and rippling with muscle , fur bristling .

Then , without another word , they leaped into the night , swift and silent despite their size .

As I watched them come near the lair of the Nameless , my heart throbbed within my chest as I screamed , No !! Dont come .

But they couldnt hear me , I could only watch and pray , the darkness twisted unnaturally , seeming to shift of their own accord .

Trajan growled low , his sharp eyes caught the little glow which was a magic barrier ahead .

Spreading out, each in wide circles , they found and cut for an opening .

Evander found it , the energy of the barrier weaker just here , a slit only , and he went in first , motioning for Trajan to take point .

But it was different inside : The heavy silence gave way to a deafening roar ; dark figures emerged from the dark , their eyes glowing in the dark and fixed on the intruders .

4/7 Chapter 180 Ambush ! Trajan snarled , his claws swiping through the air as the first wave of darkness fell upon them .

Beside him , Evander fought , their combat a fatal battle of fangs clashes .

We must fall back ! Evander shouted , his voice breaking .

No.

Trajan growled .

We will not leave her ! But the moments were too short to make a decision .

The darkness closed over them , thickening into a living thing ; the struggle was beyond them .

Trajans growls weakened into pained snarls as he was forced to the ground , parts of darkness lashing his limbs tight .

And Evander did not even struggle , the darkness washing over him entirely .

No !!! I yelled within me , but it was of no use , if I wanted to save them , I had to save myself first .

But how do I save them ? When trying to save just Dane I had gotten in trouble myself .

I placed my palms together and said a silent prayer .

Help me , Moon Goddess .

The Nameless appeared in front of me , his smokey body forming from the darkness .

I see youve been busy , he said , silky and smiling .

Dane strained against the invisible bonds holding him tight , his 5/7 Chapter 180 muscles weak , his jaw clenched .

Stay away from her , please he growled .

Come to me instead .

The Nameless burst out laughing , a cold , wicked sound that ran chills down my spine .

Oh , but its so much more entertaining when shes involved .

Dont you agree , Aurora ? I shot him a glare , refusing to give him even the satisfaction of a response .

He stepped closer , his towering form suffocating .

Youve caused me quite a bit of trouble , my dear .

But now , I have a proposition for you .

A choice , if you will .

Danes growl grew louder , but the Nameless silenced him with a flick of his hand , and the restraints wrapped tightly around him .

The Nameless turned to me , the smirk spreading across his face .

I have two of your loyal little wolves .

Trajan and Evander , so … My heart skipped a beat and I shook my head .

No … Oh , yes , he said sarcastically .

And Im afraid their futures arent shining too bright .

You see , Ive decided to give them the same gift I bestowed upon Dane .

Unless , of course , you choose another path .

I didnt want to hear it , but he stepped closer , his voice a poisonous whisper .

6/7 Chapter 180 Marry Holden .

My chosen .

Become his , and Ill spare your dear friends from a fate worse than death .

Holden , his chosen ? Danes roar filled the cell , his fury evitable even through the restraints .

You scundrell ! The Nameless ignored him , his gaze fixed on me .

The clock is ticking , my dear .

You have until sunrise to decide .

Tears welled in my eyes as the weight of his words crushed me .

I looked at Dane , his face contorted with anger and despair , and my heart broke .

The Nameless chuckled , his form melting back into the darkness .

Think carefully , Aurora .

The fate of your friends , loved ones and yours rests on your answer .

And with that , his form dissolved into the dark and the cell was silent once more .

I fell and sat on the floor , as I let the tears fall .

Dane struggled against his bonds , voice harsh as he called my state .

Aurora … dont listen to him .

Well find a way .

But I couldnt answer .

My mind was reeling with fear and doubts , and the ticking of an unseen clock echoed loudly in my Chapter 180 717 Sunrise felt like it was a lifetime away , and yet it was so near , too
