Blood And Silver:Rise of the Alpha’s Rejected Mate
Chapter 143

Chapter 143 EVELYN The pack ran .

The man took Aurora and disappeared .

Dane lay dead at the base of the stone , his blood soaking the ground .

I felt the ring in my pocket .

The one that had promised met control .

Maybe Dane had broken up with me , set me aside .

But when I told him the truth , he didnt kill me .

Even if he lived , I realized in that moment … I didnt want power .

I just wanted the man who had been my security , my lover , my friend , to be all right .

Waylon Reed stood over Danes body , grinning at it like he was about to do something .

Did any of them realize : we didnt even have the relic yet , and .

the woman who knew the ceremony to get it was gone ? Chapter 143 Men were so stupid sometimes .

2/6 Come on , I said to Camila and the female rogues .

Were not leaving here without Dane .

I took the packet with the cursed ring out of my pocket , and I threw it into the woods .

Behind me , one of the rogues gasped .

Look ! The Alpha ! Hes alive ! DANE There was nothing .

The suffocating emptiness of a breath held too long .

It stretched out forever .

Then there was a hand on my back .

Soft , cool light .

I heard a womans voice a voice as ageless as the sky and the sea whisper , You have made the sacrifice , my warrior .

This is the last thing that was needed for you to reach your full power .

Now , rise .

The moon was in my hand .

My fingers closed over it .

Finally , I could breathe again .

Chapter 143 3/6 I inhaled .

My lungs were on fire .

My chest was sore , like a giant made of rocks had been using me as a punching bag .

I blinked .

Th nothing was gone .

My eyes were full of dirt .

So was my mouth .

Dirt and blood .

The iron lang of it was everywhere .

pulled my hands beneath me , then reached out with my mind .

for Aurora .

She wasnt there .

I growled and staggered to my feet … And I came face to face with Waylon Reed .

The old mans mouth hung open like he was a fish trying to breathe air .

How are you alive ? he said .

His hand went to the blade of the silver knife at his belt .

I didnt know .

I didnt care .

I stalked toward him .

He stumbled back .

Where is Aurora ? I snarled .

Gone ! There was victory in Esther Reeds beady eyes .

He took her .

Fingers of ice clenched my heart in a tight fist .

Who is he ? 4/6 Chapter 143 Him ? she chuckled , like we were sharing a joke over tea .

Ile has no name .

Hes older than memory .

Older than time .

The Moon Goddesss dark other half .

He is Nameless .

Her words struck something in me .

A primordial fear that felt like it must have been ingrained in all wolves since the Goddess first blessed us with the gift of the moon .

Nameless .

The word whispered through my mind .

In a flash , I saw visions of all the shadowed monsters , all the evil wed dealt with .

Theyre his , another voice whispered .

The ageless one .

The goddess ? My hands flexed into claws .

They seemed longer than before .

Stronger .

Power filled me like I hadnt felt before .

I glanced down and realized what was in my hand .

It was Auroras pearl pendant , round and fat .

Was it the source ? Several wolves growled .

The Broken Forest wolves were moving around , trying to surround me .

I shifted into my lycan form and growled .

But before the circle could close around me , A golden wolf smashed through the last part of the circle along with a dozen others .

They snarled at Broken Forest , and the other wolves Chapter 143 backed up .

Evelyn and her rogues .

You should have run , I told her .

5/6 And left you behind ? She sounded breathless .

Youre alive .

Im glad .

Well see how long it lasts .

If were going to survive this , we might have to fight our way out .

The rest of the pack was gone .

I caught faint thoughts from them flashes of a figure stepping out of the stone .

Of Aurora commanding them to run .

I saw Trajan through their eyes , and my children , safe and alive .

I took a step , and my knees nearly buckled .

Apparently , surviving death or coming back from the dead , whichever I had done meant I wasnt exactly in fighting form .

Even though I had shifted , I felt weak .

Unsteady .

Or maybe that was the lingering effect of stabbing myself in the chest with a silver knife .

Esther muttered something I didnt catch .

When I looked up at Waylon , he had planted his feet and was standing his ground .

He glared at me .

Well , then .

If you arent dead like youre supposed to be , I might as well use this moment to my advantage .

Dane Montague , I challenge you as Alpha in a fight to the death .

If I Chapter 143 win , I get control over the Blue Ridge pack .
