Blood And Silver:Rise of the Alpha’s Rejected Mate
Chapter 31

Chapter 31 DANE Evelyn didnt say anything to me all the way back to the pack house .

When I showered and came out to my room , she was sitting on my bed .

She had her hand on her stomach .

She was hardly showing- only the slightest bump .

But now that I knew , I could tell there was something different about her .

The way she stood .

Her scent .

So , she said .

Your ex wife is the desire of your heart ? I clenched my jaw and went to the closet to get dressed .

I didnt have anything on but a towel around my waist .

When I didnt answer , she followed me .

She walked up behind me and pressed her soft curves against my back .

Her hands .

roved my stomach and chest .

There was no reaction .

No heat .

I couldnt pretend there was when Id hand Aurora in my arms just hours ago .

The goddess must truly hate me , to make me want a woman who always betrayed me over and over again instead of the ready and willing actress right in front of me .

I pulled gently away from her .

Maybe she was .

Maybe I always Chapter 31 2/5 held some hope that the woman I saved in the forest that night was innocent .

After tonight , that hope is gone .

Then stop working with her ! Evelyn stomped her foot .

I dont understand what her new pack has thats so important ! Why wont you tell me ? I pulled on a pair of sweatpants and tossed my towel in the laundry hamper .

I cant .

I left the closet .

Evelyn followed me , seething .

Im going to be your wife , arent I ? I sat on the edge of the bed and rubbed my temples .

The sun was up , and I hadnt slept .

There was important work I was supposed to do today .

Meetings that would have to be shifted .

Duties Id have to ask subordinates to do , both for the pack and for my business .

Dane ! Evelyn practically shrieked .

Yes ! I snapped .

I immediately regretted it and made my tone softer .

Yes , Evelyn .

You are going to be my wife .

And your mate and Luna ? she asked .

She came and sat by me on the bed .

Yes , I said .

To my own ears , I sounded defeated .

If thats what you want .

Evelyn didnt seem to hear it .

She clapped .

Then she rose and straddled me , leaning over so I got an eyeful of her breasts , then Chapter 31 going in for a kiss .

If were getting married , we should celebrate .

Let me make you feel good .

3/5 I let out my breath in a rush .

Evelyn was beautiful , intelligent , bubbly .

She could be charming , when she wasnt whining to get her way .

She deserved a man who wanted her .

Whod love her .

I put my hands on her waist and set her back beside me on the bed .

My body was hard and aching , wound up and yearning for release .

But I wouldnt find it in her .

Not tonight .

She looked truly disappointed , and my guilt bit deep .

I shoved it down .

Now that I knew the depths to which Aurora would go to get her revenge , Id get over her .

Stop wanting her .

Its okay , Evelyn smiled sweetly .

I can wait .

I dont deserve you , I said .

She laughed and kissed my check .

I know .

But I love you , anyway .

She paused for a moment .

Just long enough for me to realize she was waiting for me to say I loved her , too .

I wouldnt lie .

But before I could say something else , she was up and moving toward the door .

Id better check on the others .

I know I didnt come here much in the past , but I think I could get used to country life .

For our pack .

And our child .

Chapter 31 I will marry you , I said .

I wasnt sure if I was trying to convince myself , or her , or both of us .

I know , she laughed .

Goodnight , Dane .

4/5 Evelyn , I called after her , With all this going on , Im assigning you a permanent bodyguard .

My bela , Archer .

She pouted .

Im not a doll Dane .

No one will come after me .

It will make me feel better , I said .

When I cant be with you .

Reluctantly , her pout turned to a smile .

I suppose .

For you .

Then she was gone .

EVELYN I closed Danes door softly behind me , then crossed my hands over my stomach and walked to the railing .

I leaned down on it and looked into the main area of the pack house .

It was empty .

Most people were still asleep this early .

Wolves kept late hours .

Id always known he had … something for his ex wife .

Id spent all three years after they got married trying to convince him to divorce her .

He never would .

She was the one whod severed the mating bond and walked out .

That was when I knew she was a fool .

Chapter 31 You didnt just walk away from a man who could give you everything you ever desired .

Money .

Fame .

… Safety … Dane Montague could do all that and was possibly the sexiest man on the planet .

Ann Reed , Aurora DeVere whoever she was today she was certifiably insane .

5/5 There was a movement out of the corner of my eye .

Suddenly , arms came around me from behind .

A warm body pressed against mine .

I tensed , then relaxed against the man I loved .

He splayed his hands possessively over my stomach and murmured , You have to tell Dane the truth .

Thats my child , not his .

I want it , and I want you .
