Blood And Silver:Rise of the Alpha’s Rejected Mate
Chapter 65

Chapter 65 AURORA No ! I clamped my teeth over whatever else I was about to say .

One thing Id learned in the last five years was that Augusta DeVere loved when I was imperious … to everyone except her .

Excuse me ? she snapped .

I gave you an order , you ungrateful pup .

Remember , I own everything in your life .

You will obey me , or I will take it all away .

Dane still sat close to me on the bed .

He sat back , watching me .

Then , to my shock , he took my hand in his and squeezed .

After so long thinking of him as someone who hated me , I was so surprised , by the reassurance , I almost pulled away .

But his hand felt so good around mine .

I squeezed back .

Of course , Ill obey you grandmother … Dane scowled .

I wasnt sure if it was because he didnt like to hear me swear obedience to someone , or if he didnt like that the someone wasnt him .

… but I think you may have been deceived about how much progress Im making here .

Weve already uncovered one of the three chosen of the goddess .

Plus , we found the missing pages of the ancient book that should uncover the other two .

Chapter 65 2/4 There are three ? she said in surprise .

Aurora , I had no idea .

Why havent you been updating me more often ? Im sorry , I was going to , but then my injury … I waited for my grandmothers warmth to return .

It didnt .

However , her voice wasnt as cold as it had been at first .

Well .

I suppose under the circumstances , it would be a waste to pull out the resources weve already invested .

Thats exactly what I was thinking , I said , relief flooding me .

Weve already sunk enough cost into this that its worth continuing a little longer .

Hm , she said .

A little longer .

I wont let the fact that Ive already spent some money on this force my hand into spending more , however .

You have your cut of the packs profits for this month in your bank account .

But Im tired of waiting , and of you putting those heirs of mine at risk .

I want the relic , Aurora , and I want it soon .

Youll have it soon , I said , relieved she wasnt insisting we come back today .

In under a month , Augusta declared .

My stomach flipped over .

One month ? Its possible grandmother , but surely two or three months … Chapter 65 3/4 One , she barked .

Relic or not , I want every member of the High Alpine Pack including those children on a flight home .

My hand tightened around the phone .

Dane sat next to me .

With his keen wolf cars , there was no way he couldnt hear every word my grandmother said .

He didnt break eye contact with me as I took a careful breath and said , Of course , grandmother .

Good .

Make it happen .

Goodbye .

With that , she hung up .

A rumble emanated from Danes chest .

You arent taking my children away from me .

I closed my eyes .

Theyre yours , but theyre also mine , and through me , theyre members of High Alpine .

Thats their pack .

I claim them .

Ill make them part of Blue Ridge .

My eyes flew open , and I put a hand on his chest .

Dont .

Just … wait .

Give me time .

Augusta cares more about whats good for High Alpine Pack then how happy my our children are .

Dont be like her , Dane .

We have to put our childrens happiness first .

The muscles in his jaw worked , but he nodded .

I wont fly off the handle , and I wont claim them for my pack just yet.

But this has to happen , Aurora .

Im not letting them go .

I rubbed my temples .

I had always looked out for the twins , and Chapter 65 4/4 I wouldnt stop now .

But this was a bridge we could cross when we came to it .

It wasnt worth fighting Dane or my grandmother over right at this moment .

I had to change the subject .

We have a much tighter timeline .

than I had originally planned , I said .

I was hoping for weeks with those two pages before we made another move , if not months .

Translation is so tricky .

Getting it right cant be rushed .

Dane grunted .

We can make it happen in a month .

Maybe thats for the best we wont be able to be as careful , but it also means there will be less time for outsiders to find out what were doing .

and interfere .

We need to meet with everyone , I said .

Give me an hour , Dane said .

Ill make it happen .

And when the meeting is over … I looked at him curiously .

When its over ? He lifted my hands and pressed my knuckles to his lips .

In a move that made heat pool between my legs , he slid the tip of his tongue between my first and middle fingers in a hot , suggestive stroke .

Have dinner with me .

Then stay the night .

Weve waited long enough .

Say yes .
