Blood And Silver:Rise of the Alpha’s Rejected Mate
Chapter 124

Chapter 124 DANE TWL Y YEARS AGO AGE 9 It was dark .

I didnt know where I was .

Tears kept trying to burn their way out of my eyes , but I wouldnt let them .

hated the dark .

I didnt used to hate it .

Dark meant the moon was out .

It meant the pack would gather and my mom and dad and grandpa would lead them in a run or on a hunt for deer .

I couldnt wait until I got a little older .

Then Id get my wolf and I would run with them .

One day , grandpa said , my dad would lead the pack .

Then it would be my turn .

But if I wanted to lead the pack , I had to be brave .

The door slammed open , and light hit my eyes .

After so long in the dark , it hurt .

I closed them and turned away , but not fast enough .

Look at the boy , the Luna of Broken Forest mocked .

She was a mean woman with an angry face .

Crying .

The Alpha of Broken Forest snorted .

Then the side of my head exploded in pain , and I yelped .

I couldnt help it .

More tears Chapter 124 Gime .

2/5 Stop crying , boy .

He hit me again .

He kept hitting me and telling me to stop while his Luna laughed .

I tried to stop .

I tried , but I cry couldnt .

Finally , he stopped .

I felt blood trickling out of my hair .

The Luna , Esther Reed , made the Alpha stop .

She crouched down .

I pulled away from her , and this time she smacked me .

I bit my lip , so I didnt make a sound .

Crying meant pain .

Moving meant pain .

I couldnt do either of those things .

The only way to keep the pain away was to stay in control .

I always , always had to be in control .

Esther ran her fingers through my blood and held it up to her face .

She sniffed it .

Then she licked it .

My stomach lurched and I had to fight not to throw up .

That would mean pain , too .

Thats it ? Waylon Reed asked .

Thats the blood thats going to open the gate ? Thats it , the evil Luna agreed .

Cant you just bottle it up and save it ? asked Waylon .

Now Chapter 124 3/5 that weve got Celeste out of the way , we can take her daughters blood any time we want .

Esther shook her head .

They both turned away from me , like they forgot I was there .

Has to be fresh .

almost I was shaking .

I didnt want them to close the door again and leave me in the dark .

Then I heard other wolves .

Another kid .

It sounded like they were crying , loo .

Toss her in here until we decide what to do , Esther said .

No ! Wait ! screamed a little girl .

They didnt wait .

They practically threw her on top of me .

Some company for you , Waylon sneered .

Then they slammed the door again and were gone .

The little girl pushed off of me .

A little bit of light still came from the crack beneath the door , but I knew it wouldnt last .

Wait ! the little girl shouted .

She had a funny accent .

Momma ? Where are you ? Let me out ! She banged against the door .

I stood up and grabbed her .

Even though she looked my age , I was bigger than her and my arms .

went all the way around her .

Dont , I whispered .

Theyll come back .

You dont want them to come back .

Get off me ! she pushed me .

I stepped back .

I heard her take a Chapter 124 shaky breath .

4/5 Then the light under the door went out , and it was all the way dark .

I closed my eyes , counted to ten .

Control .

A second later , I heard her take a stumbling step toward me .

Wh where are you ? I could have stayed quiet and let her feel around .

Shed pushed me .

My head still hurt from the beating .

But after who knew how many days in the dark , I wasnt alone .

I reached out .

Im right here .

Her hands closed over mine .

They were small , too .

Like the rest of her .

As soon as she touched me , a light flickered on her arm .

We both gasped in surprise and pulled apart .

The light went out .

What was that ? I asked .

I dont know .

She sniffled .

You cant cry , I whispered .

Theyll hit you if you cry .

They dont like it .

You have to not feel anything .

She made a sound like I was being silly .

I cant not feel anything .

That would make me a robot .

Chapter 124 Its easier , I said .

5/5 She made the sound again .

Then she said .

Whats your name ? Dane Montague .

Im nine .

Whats your name ? I he her take in a breath .

Then she sounded scared and said .

I … I dont know , I cant remember ! But my mom … I think they to her away from me … I reached out again .

This time , I touched her shoulder .

She was still crying , but it was quiet .

Suddenly , I felt braver than I had in a long time .

Its going to be okay .

Maybe now were together , we can get out .

We can find your mom .

I dont know .

They have these shadows , and … the girl reached up and touched her hand to mine .

When my hand was on her shoulder , I was just touching her shirt , not her skin .

But when she touched my hand , the light started to glow again .

We both gasped , but this time we didnt move .

There was a crescent moon on her arm .

When I touched her , it glowed with a sliver light .

I could finally see her face .
