Blood And Silver:Rise of the Alpha’s Rejected Mate
Chapter 96

Chapter 96 AURORA I was barely aware as Dane led me away from Holdens rooms .

I thought , vaguely , that we were going to mine .

But he took me to his .

I struggled weakly , but stopped when I realized why he was bringing me here .

Tristan and Seraphina werent there .

Neither was Mrs.

Jamison .

Evander and Trajan were still out searching .

I would be alone .

Tears burned behind my eyes again .

I didnt know how much weeping I could do before I would turn to dust .

I want them back .

I said the words with every part of my soul .

It felt like they should be a scream , but they were a simple whisper only one man could hear .

We got to his rooms , and he led me to his bed .

I know .

I feel it .

I wasnt sure what he meant .

He felt the same ? Or he could actually feel my pain ? But that intimacy was reserved only for Chapter 96 2/5 the strongest spirit bonds .

Only for kindred souls or fated mates .

Wed been in each others lives for eight years .

If we were fated , we would know , I put his words from my mind and let him pull me into his arms .

He held me , rocking gently .

He didnt speak .

We both knew there were no words for this pain and uncertainty .

Finally , he let me go .

I need to get back to the search .

I want .

you to rest .

No ! The word tore from me .

I didnt mean it to .

Of course , I wanted Dane out there searching for the twins .

And I knew I needed to rest , or I was going to be useless .

It was getting late , and I was so tired I could barely stand .

No ? he asked .

I closed my eyes and rested my head against his chest .

Dont leave me alone .

Rest with me .

Just for an hour .

Then take me with you when you search .

I cant … I cant just sit here .

He was quiet for a long time , then he said , Ill rest with you , but I want you to sleep .

Not just rest for an hour .

I cant .

ແນ You can , he insisted .

Im here with you .

Chapter 96 3/5 His hands were already moving over me , gently removing my clothes .

It sent a shiver of heat over my skin , but I was too tired , too nauseous , too worried to feel more than that .

Dane … Shh .

He removed everything except my panties , then ran gentle hands over my skin .

Any time he touched me , heat flooded my body .

But this wasnt sexual .

It was just … comfort .

He stripped down to his boxers , then lifted me and laid me in the bed .

He got in after me and pulled me against him , so our bodies pressed together .

Again there was a spark of heat , but it was overtaken by that feeling of connection .

Of peace .

Of comfort and soft energy flowing from his body into mine in every place our skin touched .

You arent alone , Dane whispered .

His big hand braced against the small of my back , then trailed up and down , stroking my skin .

It was beautiful , and despite my fear for the twins , which was as strong as ever , my body began to relax into this intimate comfort that even if it wasnt making love only a lover could give .

My mind stopped racing .

My breathing slowed .

Like he had said I would , I slept .

*** Chapter 96 DANE 4/5 Aurora slept , thank the goddess .

I wanted her to rest .

I wanted her to be on top of her game .

We needed her clever mind and her steel spine if we were going to find the twins .

I meant to climb out of the bed as soon as she was sleeping , but when I was tangled in the sheets with her , soft and warm , I could make myself get out again .

The pack was still searching .

Trajan had organized them since Archer was still hunting for Remington Reed .

I couldnt touch his mind , but I could speak to the others .

Trajan knew his job , and he was doing it well .

I could leave .

things in his hands for a few hours .

I could stay here with the woman I had fought against wanting for so long .

Than the goddess that was one fight I had finally lost .

Aurora felt so incredible against me , but I kept my mind and body reined in .

I would have her again .

I would explore her and love her and hear her whimper my name .

I would feel her fingers tangle in my hair as I pleasured her the way she deserved .

But now , today , I would just feel her next to me , breathing softly as sleep allowed her to release her worries , even if it was just for a little while .

Chapter 96 ***** 5/5 EVELYN I hovered outside Danes room , my hand raised to knock .

But when I breathed in , I caught a scent I wasnt used to .

Not here , in his bedroom .

Aurora .

I gritted my teeth .

Then I flipped open my phone .

If my mother had those twins , it was damn well time for her to tell me her plans .
