Blood And Silver:Rise of the Alpha’s Rejected Mate
Chapter 95

hapter 95 AURORA I could tell from the look on Danes face he hated what Id done .

I wasnt the biggest fan of it , either .

My grandmother was a difficult woman .

But if Dane had the right to lock me in a room , I certainly had the right to keep him from murdering another Alpha and going to war .

Even with someone I now hated on a visceral level .

Even looking at Holden who was giving me sad eyes while clutching a bloody cut from Dane throwing him into the wall- made me want to vomit .

Luna DeVere , Dane said is a dangerously calm voice as he plucked the phone from my hand .

Didnt your granddaughter tell you that Alpha Coleridge assaulted her ? My cheeks colored .

It was a good thing that was all Dane knew .

If he heard Holden was going to mark me against my will and make me his mate , not even my grandmother would be able to stop him .

Yes , my grandmother said from the phone .

Danes eyes darkened .

And you still want to be allies with him ? You still want her around him? Chapter 95 Fall Line remains our ally as well as Blue Ridge , she said .

Therefore , the Alpha will remain present to protect my interests .

2/5 I knew she felt that way , but I still flinched .

I wasnt sure how to feel about my grandmothers insistence that Fall Line stay .

I knew why she wanted Holden here .

Fall Line was our established ally .

If Dane and Blue Ridge decided to just take the relic and its powers for themselves , Fall Line would be our only hope of getting it back .

Not just because they were here in the states , but because High Alpine Pack was engaged in other conflicts on other fronts .

My grandmother wasnt the kind of person to only stick her finger in one pie .

Grandmother didnt explain further .

One of the things Id learned from watching her : there was power in stating facts and nothing more .

Explanations meant you thought you owed a person something .

According to Augusta DeVere , High Alpine wolves owed nothing to anyone .

Ever .

If you didnt explain , people didnt have anything to argue with .

Dane clutched my phone in his hand , his knuckles going white .

Her not giving him something to argue about wouldnt stop him from pushing .

I worried he might crack my phone screen ; he held it so hard .

Are you suggesting your top candidate for Luna heir remain in the presence of a man who disrespected her and your pack ? Did Chapter 95 3/5 you not believe your own granddaughter when she told you she was attacked ? My grandmother paused , and in the silence I felt every ounce .

of her displeasure .

She was not a woman who was used to being questioned .

Then again , Dane was not a man who took orders from anyone .

Ever .

Tension sparked in the air , even though my grandmother was an ocean away .

Holden stood there , arms folded , looking between the two of them and sometimes at me .

My stomach twisted whenever he did .

It was like feeling him betray me , try to violate me , all over again .

Not only did I have to process being attacked , but I also had to process losing someone I thought was a friend .

Even though that left me feeling wilted and numb inside , I would never let him see .

I kept my back straight and gave him nothing in return for his looks except a glare .

I am suggesting , my grandmother said slowly , That I will not allow the interests of the High Alpine Pack to go unprotected .

If you believe , Dane Montague , that my granddaughter needs.

protection from one of the individuals I must employ to do that … I suggest you see to her safety .

She paused again , letting us all internalize her words .

Then she said , Nothing is personal .

However , I will be in contact with the Chapter 95 elders of Fall Line about the behavior of their Alpha .

This time , it was Holdens turn to flinch .

But before anyone could speak , Grandmother hung up the phone and was gone .

Well , Holden said , his eyes going from Dane to me .

Now thats settled , I think we have some kids to look for .

4/5 Holden went to leave .

Before he could , Dane lunged forward and grabbed him by the throat .

Let me make one thing very clear , he said , tightening his grip until Holdens face started to turn red .

If you touch Aurora again , I will kill you .

I dont care who it condemns in the eyes of the Council .

Gasping , Holden nodded .

Dane let him go .

There was already a bruise forming around his neck where Danes hand had been .

Shaking , I watched Holden turn away and go into his room .

He slammed the door behind him .

Dane stared at the door .

I stood just behind him , shaking .

So much was happening .

Too much .

My mind raced from thought to thought , emotion to emotion .

I couldnt get a grip on my breathing .

My heartbeat .

It was all too much , and I was about to lose control .

Chapter 95 HOLDEN I knew they were still outside the door .

I didnt care .

5/5 I touched my bruised neck .

Thought about the way she looked at him .

Fucking Montague .

He didnt deserve her or the twins .

Not like I did .

If we didnt need him … I bared my teeth .

It didnt matter .

They thought they knew what they were getting themselves into .

Thought they knew exactly what that journal was leading them to .

They didnt have a clue .

By the time they did , it would be too late for Montague .

Then I would have Aurora and her children the family Id sold my soul for so long ago .
