Blood And Silver:Rise of the Alpha’s Rejected Mate
Chapter 99

Chapter 99 AURORA I cried out and pressed a hand over my chest .

My heart slammed against my ribs in fear .

The light cut off , contained .

But it still hurt .

Still burned .

Ah ! Cursed .

Thats what the dream entity had said .

Aurora ! Dane tried to pull me toward him .

I was cursed .

Goddess , what if I hurt Dane ? I rolled away from him , my hand still pressed against my chest .

I knew I wasnt worthy to reach out to the moon goddess , but I prayed anyway .

Goddess , please , dont let me hurt him .

Let me contain this … My palm tingled .

The light pouring from beneath my hand changed .

No longer purple and bruised , it shimmered silverly white , blue , and purple .

A cool feeling like fresh water poured over the feverish burn of the wound .

I gasped and lifted my hand .

What … ? The oozing light of the scar was gone .

Instead , my palm glowed .

That was the source of the new light .

Id seen those colors of light before … Chapter 99 2/5 Before I could grasp the memory , it faded .

So did the light from my palm .

Aurora ? Danes voice was rough in the dark and it snapped my attention away from my hand and my scar .

Id tried to move away from him , but he wasnt having any of that .

He knelt behind me on the mattress , his hands on my shoulders , my back pressed against him .

Dane , I was trying to keep you safe , I said .

That evil light .

It looked like it was trying to get to you .

He shifted and wrapped his arms around my waist .

You are never safer away from me .

I closed my eyes at the ache caused by his words .

Maybe because it was dark , I was bolder .

Since his change of heart , I had mostly left our past unspoken .

But that wasnt healthy .

What he and I needed was honesty .

So , I said , I still have trouble trusting that .

Of course , he said .

There was no irritation or anger in his voice , only complete understanding .

All I can ask for is time .

I nodded , then lifted my hand to where his was on my shoulder and intertwined our fingers .

He gripped mine tightly , then dropped a kiss on top of my head .

What just happened ? I hesitated , staring at my palm .

I … dont know .

I was having a Chapter 99 nightmare , and then my scar , and then … 3/5 His thumbs kneaded small , comforting circles against my shoulders .

What was the nightmare about ? Maybe that will explain why that scar you got from the shadow monster in the Reeds pack house was acting up .

I flinched .

Only a few seconds ago , I had thought to myself that we needed honesty .

But I still had one great secret from Dane .

That I hadnt been a victim , but a willing participant in the near downfall of Blue Ridge all those years ago .

A weapon , they had called me .

Hidden in plain sight .

Shame flooded me , threatening to drown me .

Only my memory loss that night had saved Danes life .

At my core , I was a disgusting , evil thing .

I didnt deserve him or his love .

I closed my palm and let it drop into my lap .

Something … terrible .

It was definitely a monster .

It was the truth , even if it was a misleading truth .

He would think I meant the monster who had scarred me , when the only monster Id dreamed about was me .

Then I remembered the second part of the dream , and I tilted my head .

It hadnt felt anything like the first part .

Then I was somewhere else .

Floating in a sky of stars .

Safe .

And there as a voice … 사 Chapter 99 1 trailed off again .

The voice had told me I was cursed .

I opened my palm again , trying to picture the dream .

It glimmered with a few specks of the iridescent light , and I gasped .

Dane saw it , too .

What is that ? 4/5 I dont know .

I touched my chest .

But my scar was burning , and the light from my hand stopped it .

I bit my lip and swallowed a growl of frustration .

What the hell was happening ? None of it made sense .

Then I remembered something else and turned around to face Dane .

There was something else in the dream .

About you and your grandfather , and something in your blood .

Do you know what that means ? Danes brow furrowed .

No.

But we know what Remington said that the Reeds would take my blood in exchange for our children .

And the last two times I spoke to my grandfather , he talked about me becoming a sacrifice .

That just brings up more questions , Dane .

We need answers .

My grandmother didnt give us long .

Were running out of time .

And now the twins are missing on top of it … I started to shake .

Dane pulled me close .

Dont undo all of the good sleep just did by overwhelming yourself .

One step at a time .

The children first .

Even Augusta wont make you leave Chapter 99 here without them .

He pulled back .

His eyes went to my chest and widened .

Aurora … look at your scar .
