Blood And Silver:Rise of the Alpha’s Rejected Mate
Chapter 194

Chapter 194 1/7 AURORA The turmoil in my head .

I stayed on the edge of the bed , drawing my legs close up against me … the weight of Holdens words still heavy upon me .

Why did every door , every open door in life always have to come with some type of price ? I held the pearl pendant that lay against my chest , it had a cool surface .

The thought of having to deal with Holden felt like a touch of acid in my stomach .

There had to be another way , yet every avenue was covered in the shadow of the Nameless .

My thoughts went back to Dane .

He would always know what to do … he did .

I closed my eyes and reached for the bond between us , that fragile connection that was my lifeline during dark times .

Dane , can you hear me ? Silence .

I balled my fists , harder yet , and pushed every piece of energy I Chapter 194 2/7 had into that bond .

Sweat trickled beading on my forehead , and again and again , I hollered to him with : Dane , please … I need you .

Just answer me .

Still , nothing .

It felt weak and distant , something that was slipping ever more out of my grasp .

Frustration settled in my stomach .

I was tired , my strength reducing , the breaths reducing .

The room spun slightly as , voice shaking , I tried once more .

Dane , I whispered , hands shaking .

Please … I just cant do this without you .

The pearl pendant at my neck began to warm against my skin , and that was miraculous enough to freeze me in place .

I looked down at the thing in wonder as its glow intensified .

What in … The words wouldnt get out before the light enveloped me , bright and overpowering .

The room was gone , replaced by a huge sea of light colored silver bursting .

The air glimmered , thick with power , and then she materialized .

The Moon Goddess .

Her form was ethereal , slipping from a shining , silver figure to a Chapter 194 3/7 softer , maternal presence .

Her eyes settled on me , piercing yet kind .

Aurora , she said , her voice coming from all directions at once It seemed .

I fell to my knees as the overwhelming presence made my heart shift .

Goddess , I managed to say , my voice shaking .

You are in distress , she said , drifting closer , Your bond with Dane is weakened but not broken .

Ill try calling for him .

I said , almost in a panic .

But its like he doesnt exist anymore .

And I dont know what to do .

Her expression softened then , and she knelt before me , her hand hovering above the pendant .

The Namelesss power clouds many things , but the bond you share is strong .

Trust it .

Her words put a sliver of hope in me , but as she continued , her gaze darkened .

Aurora , you must prepare yourself .

A great disaster is at hand .

The Nameless is cunning and will strike when least expected .

What disaster ? I asked , trembling .

She didnt say it fdirectly but her eyes moved to the pendant .

This shall guide you when the time comes .

Believe in yourself , Aurora .

Your choices will decide the course of all .

With that said , before I could ask more , the light that outlined Chapter 194 her figure started to disappear , and she melted into the silver mist .

4/7 Wait ! I called out , reaching for her , but was brought back into the room .

I gasped , clutching the pendant as the vision faded .

The pounding of my heart against my chest , the warning of the goddess echoed through my brain over and over again .

The day came by weirdly with a lot of tension .

The pack was in a high state of readiness , with movements sharp and purposeful as reports came in about an attack .

I stood at the heart of the command room , scanning across the reports that littered the table .

There was something not quite right .

The attacks were scattered and disorganized , far from the way the Nameless normally acted .

This doesnt make sense , I muttered , pacing the room .

Trajan was standing beside him , his arms crossed .

It doesnt have to make sense , Aurora .

Its happening .

We need to act .

I shook my l a burn of frustration rising beneath my skin .

No.

Its too convenient .

Hes trying to spread us thin .

Cant you.

see that ? Convenient or not , we cant ignore it , Trajan shot back .

Chapter 194 5/7 Patience , I insisted , firmly .

We need to assess this carefully .

If we rush in , were walking straight into a trap .

But the pack was itchy , their confidence in me already shaken .

after all that had taken place .

Rumblings went through the room , hesitation palpable in their eyes .

She hesitates again , a low whisper .

We cannot wait any more , another added .

Trajan strode forward , his movement unyielding .

I will lead the attack , he said .

If you wont take action , I will .

No , Trajan ..

I started , but he was already running .

The assault group shipped out in a matter of minutes , their outlines disappearing into the woods .

I remained behind ; my gut filled with suspicions .

Hours passed silently , like an eternity , while everything gradually heightened in tension .

I began moving up and down in the command room , my mind racing .

And then that report came in .

Trajans team has been ambushed , a scout informed me , hist voice tight with fear .

My blood ran cold .

Where ? He pointed to the map , his hand shaking .

Here .

The old ruins Chapter 194 by the western border .

I grabbed my gear and headed for the door , determination .

fueling my steps .

You cant go alone , Piper said , stepping in my path .

I dont have any choice , I said , pushing past her .

When I at last came upon the ruins , chaos was in total dominance .

6/7 The air was so heavy with the stench of blood and fear one could smell it .

Trajans team was scattered fighting desperately against the Nameless .

I scanned the ground for Trajan as my heart pounded in my chest .

Then I saw him locked in combat with a huge shadow creature .

Trajan ! I shouted , my voice filled with the clatter of clashing swords .

The second thing heard was how that monster tore its .

sharp claws into his side and made Trajan stumble through sluggish movement .

Trajan ! I shouted , rushing towards him .

Before reaching him , a surge in shadows covered him tightly among them ; The darkness wrapped itself to such an end that all life was strangled off of him , his gaze met mine .

Aurora , run away ! he yelled .

Chapter 194 No ! I screamed , reaching for him .

7/7 The shadows dragged him back , his form disappearing into the dark .

Trajan ! I shrieked , but it was too late .

He was gone .

The sounds of the battle faded around me , replaced by the hollow ache of loss .

I fell to my knees , holding the pendant as tears streamed from my face .

Moon goddess , what should I do now ? I whispered , my voice cracking .
