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

Chapter 12 AURORA I slapped at his gnarled clawed hands , and he looked down at me with hatred .

I tried to call for Trajan , but I couldnt breathe .

Remi leaned close .

In his lycan form he was half man , half wolf , nearly seven feet tall and corded with muscle .

His face was wolf like and monstrous .

Did you think you could walk away from us ? His sour breath washed over my face , and I gagged .

He was squeezing so tight , I couldnt breathe .

I pulled at his hands , but they were like steel .

All the memories of him torturing me when we were both children came flooding back .

My vision darkened around the edges .

Would he kill me ? Would I ever see my children again ? Then a massive wall of muscle thudded into Remi .

He went flying , and I was in the arms of my rescuer .

Bigger than Remi .

Stronger .

With power rolling off of him like Id only experienced with one man .

Chapter 12 2/6 My throat was bruised and swollen from Remis grip .

Dane ? I whispered in a broken voice .

Because I knew him .

By his scent .

By the feel of his thick , soft fur that was so dark gray it was nearly black .

By the way my instincts screamed at me lo curl into him and let him keep me safe .

But Dane had never been safe .

Not for me .

He held me against him , his arm an iron band around my waist , and he snarled a challenge at Remi .

Hatred ran deep between my brother and Dane .

Remi pushed himself to his feet .

In a voice like gravel , he growled , She was disloyal to you .

She made you look like a fool .

What the hell are you doing here , protecting her ? That was what I was wondering , but I was too terrified to ask , or think about it .

I was too terrified to do anything but hold onto Dane and be grateful he was here .

Shes ours , Remi continued , gesturing for Dane to hand me over .

You never wanted her in the first place , Give her here and let us have her back .

You know what the Council will do if we spill each others blood .

My terror grew as Dane paused , then loosened his grip .

He was going to hand me over ! Chapter 12 DANE 3/6 I would never give her to them .

Maybe shed betrayed me .

That just made her mine to hold accountable for it .

Not theirs .

But I wasnt going to fight him one handed .

I loosened my grip to set her aside .

Then another wolf , massive and steel gray , came hurtling out of the night and slammed into Remington Reeds side .

They went down hard , snarling and clawing at each other .

Trajan ! Ann screamed .

Then Remi was up and yelping .

I caught a glimpse of blood streaming from his neck and chest as he ran into the thick forest .

Then he was gone .

I hadnt had to shed his blood , thank the goddess .

If I had , it might have meant the end of both of us .

The steel gray wolf turned into Anns silent bodyguard and strode over to us .

I was still holding her against me .

She was so small in my arms , so delicate .

My mind flashed back to five years ago .

The one time I had claimed her .

A Chapter 12 The beast in me wanted to claim her again .

4/6 To his credit , the man didnt flinch , even though I still wore my lycan form .

Over seven feet tall , my body bulging with muscle , my claws long and sharp .

It took a powerful werewolf to be able to shift into this between form .

Of all the shapes a wolf could take , it was the deadliest .

Alpha Montague , her bodyguard said .

Put the Luna heir down .noveldrama

His voice was respectful , but it was still a command .

That wasnt why I listened .

I set her down because I couldnt trust myself for as long as my hands were on her , no matter what form I was in .

As I set Ann down and she brushed herself off she was still in the silver dress that made me want to bite every luxurious curve on her body I started to believe that maybe the representative from High Alpine had been there , after all .

That Ann wasnt lying when she said she found a new family .

That the woman in my arms wasnt my ex wife at all .

At least , nol anymore .

This woman was someone different .

Chapter 12 5/6 What happened to you , Ann ? I asked .

For the first time since shed walked into the gala earlier tonight , I wasnt enraged .

I wanted to know .

She raised that one cool eyebrow again .

Shed never made that face as my wife , but it was already starting to become familiar .

Its Aurora , she said .

The moon was mostly full , and beneath its silver light , she was so beautiful she only looked half real .

Like I might have dreamed her coming back to me .

The way Id dreamed too many times before .

Dreams I despised .

Dreams I couldnt get rid of , no matter what I did .

If youre ready to listen , she said , Ill tell you … almost … anything you want to know .

The night was cool , and she shivered and hugged herself .

In that motion self comfort I finally saw a flash of the woman I used to know .

All right , I said .

Im ready .

Good , then lets ah ! She took a step forward and fell .

Her bodyguard moved , but I was faster .

I caught her and lifted her in my arms .

Damn it .

Why didnt you say you were hurt ?
