Blood And Silver:Rise of the Alpha’s Rejected Mate
Chapter 91

Chapter 91 AURORA Why should we believe you ? Dane demanded .

To my shock , Waylon stood aside and gestured into the pack house .

Come and see for yourself , Alpha .

But youve got to come alone .

Except for Ann .

This is her home , after all .

Shes always welcome .

He paused for a second , like he was thinking , then said , You know , if those kids were here , it would just be like a visit to grandma and grandpas anyway , wouldnt it ? The stringy old man shot me what was probably supposed to be a fatherly smile .

It was all I could do not to scream .

I started moving forward immediately .

Dane grabbed my arm .

No ! Its some kind of trap .

Theyve had me here before , Dane .

If they wanted to keep me , they wouldve done it then .

You wont keep me from my children .

Danes grip tightened and he growled , Our children .

He released me , then moved to stand beside me .

Well search .

No ! Chapter 91 2/5 It was a whole chorus of voices .

Both Evander and Trajan on my side , and Archer and Evelyn on Dancs .

I should be the one to go , Evander said .

Hed been so quiet .

since the children disappeared, and he sounded so desperate now .

I was their guard .

This is my fault .

I took my cousins hand and tried to give him an encouraging smile .

We all have to sleep , Evander .

This isnt your fault .

If theyre not in there , I wont sleep , he vowed .

Not until Ive found them and brought them home .

There was a fervent note in his voice that worried me .

I knew he loved the twins , and I was grateful , but I couldnt let him torture himself that way .

Evander- I was cut off by the argument between Archer and Dane that started next to us .

You arent expendable ! Archer snapped , I am .

Let me go ! Alpha magic swelled around Dane .

He almost seemed to grow , and Archer almost seemed to shrink before him .

They are my children .

Aurora is my … He trailed off , and I could hear the word hanging in the air .

Mate .

But he knew neither of us were ready to go that far .

Not yet .

My responsibility , he finished .

She will not walk into danger without me at her side .

Chapter 91 3/5 My heart turned over at his words .

I wondered if hearing them would ever be normal , or if I would ever feel like I deserved them .

Archer looked like he might speak again .

Danes eyes flashed gold with power , and suddenly Archer flinched , then backed off .

I turned back to Evander and Trajan .

Im going , I said , resolute .

Trajan , dont let Evander follow me .

Trajan nodded and looked at the younger wolf .

Evander glowered at us both .

Theyd better be in there .

They will be , I said with a confidence I didnt feel .

I followed Dane up to Waylon and Esther .

The Reeds smiled at us .

Im sure it was supposed to be kind , but all I could see was their teeth .

We have your permission , and safe passage ? And the wolves out here will be safe from attack or harm as long as were on the inside ? Dane growled .

Waylon nodded , and I felt magic radiate off of him as he made the promise .

I swear it .

Without looking , Dane reached back and took my hand , and he led the way inside .

The new pack house was like I remembered it .

A cave , but not a terrible place .

Not like the place I lived when I was a child .

Chapter 91 4/5 It was so strange .

Why had they bothered to make this place so comfortable when the actual house was in such disrepair ? What had changed in the five years I went missing that gave them not just the money , but the motivation to do this ? Would you like a guide ? Esther asked as she fell into step beside us .

Not you, Dane snapped .

Esthers false 50s housewife smile didnt falter .

Not me .

Selina ? My lips parted as a wisp of a woman reading on a nearby chair lifted her head .

She was thin and pale and had black hair drawn back in a braid .

Yes , Luna ? Take your former sister , here , and help her and Alpha Montague search for the missing children from Blue Ridge .

Such a shame they werent supervised better .

Esther tutted .

Even though my memories were too foggy for it to bring anything specific to the surface , the sound made bile rise in the back of my throat .

It was a sound of false sympathy .

A sound that might be made right before a necessary punishment .

Dane squeezed my hand , able to sense something wrong with me even though I was trying to hide it .

I squeezed back to show him I was fine .

Then my attention was totally captured by the woman who approached us .

Selene ? I asked .

Chapter 91 5/5 Her name also felt familiar I knew it , but I wasnt sure how .

When she smiled , her hazel eyes crinkled around the corners , and I felt like I should know her .

Like remembering her might be very , very important .

Me , helping you out of trouble ? she said .

Just like old times , little sister .
