Blood And Silver:Rise of the Alpha’s Rejected Mate
Chapter 148

Chapter 148 DANE My cs paused a millimeter from his throat .

He might as well have reached up and punched his own claws into my chest .

What did you say ? Holdens familiar smirk flitted across his face , but only for an instant .

Then he pretended to look shocked and pitying .

You mean she didnt tell you ? he said .

Hm .

I guess you two werent as close as you thought .

His posturing didnt have the same effect as it could have since he was on his back in the mud with his blond hair plastered to his forehead .

I wrapped my hand around his throat and lifted him .

We were close in size as men , but as a lycan , I was larger .

I lifted him until his feet dangled six inches off the ground .

It should have taken effort .

It didnt .

Whatever had happened to me , I wasnt just magically stronger , I was physically stronger , as well .

Repeat yourself .

I had just seen her .

Just been with her in the vision .

Was it even real ? Would she remember ? 2/6 Chapter 148 Holdens eyes bulged and he choked on his words .

I … bound her … to me … If she was already bound to him , what did it mean for the strange moment she and I had shared ? Had it done anything ? Would I ever be able to get her back ? I dropped him .

He collapsed in a heap on the muddy ground .

The rain was cold against my skin , which felt suddenly hot .

I looked toward Piper .

Auroras cousin had helped her up .

When we left to perform the ritual at the stone, he wasnt even awake .

Hed been asleep since Aurora had healed him .

As he moved to help Piper into the house , he slipped , and it looked like she was helping him .

I returned my attention to Holden on the ground at my feet .

His wolves were closing in .

I hauled him up and put my claws at his throat again , facing his wolves .

Tell them not to move , I growled .

Dont move ! Holden called out , his voice cracking .

Now, you are going to dismiss your wolves , and you and I are going to go inside and have a talk .

Holden did , sending his protesting wolves out of my territory .

I knew theyd be waiting on the borders , but as long as they didnt cross those borders , I didnt care .

I sent most of my Blue Ridge wolves to make sure they left and 3/6 Chapter 148 shoved Holden in front of me into the pack house .

I took him to one of the conference rooms and posted warriors to wait outside .

Then I closed the door and turned on him .

Because I knew what he had said to me couldnt be real .

I had to have misheard .

You nt be mate bonded to Aurora .

I didnt say , Because I just did my best to bond her to me in some kind of dream world .

Instead , I said , Her wolf is dead .

Even as I said it , it felt wrong .

But her wolf was dead .

Of everyone on the world , I would know .

Holdens mouth twisted .

You just havent thought out of the box enough .

I moved toward him .

You had better explain .

Now .

Ive just become the Alpha of the Broken Forest Pack .

Im not afraid to take on Fall Line , too .

His eyes widened .

You killed the old man ? He challenged me .

Holden shoved his rain plastered hair out of his face .

Shit .

Im about to kill you , too , I growled .

I can sense Aurora is gone , he said quickly .

I can sense where she is .

Im in her mind .

I know something has her .

The thing youve been trying to unearth .

It wasnt what you expected , or the old Luna who runs High Alpine .

You thought you were going Chapter 148 to claim power .

Youre in over your heads .

4/6 Holdens statement hung in the air between us , heavy and ominous .

I couldnt let him know how right he might be .

I refused to believe I couldnt fix this .

Couldnt get Aurora back .

Tee where she is or Ill kill you .

I grabbed him by the shirt collar .

Enough games ! Its not that easy .

Holden glared .

The bond isnt like yours was .

I was more … thorough than you .

I can sense her , feel her emotions , and know where she is .

Its a powerful link , Dane , one you cant understand .

Holden had always been arrogant .

Try me .

If this is some kind of trick … No trick .

He held up his hands .

I can show you if you want .

Share a little piece with you .

Its been a long time since you felt connected to her , hasnt it ? He wiggled his fingers .

I wanted to rip them off .

Then show me , I said through gritted teeth .

Holden shrugged , a casual gesture that threatened all the control I was using not to tear him apart .

I can share some of the bond with you .

Let you feel it for yourself .

1 hesitated .

Alphas rarely let other Alphas into their heads , though we can form a sort of bridge between our minds if we need to .

It was just that none of us every trusted each other enough to do it .

Chapter 148 5/6 In the end , though , I would have done anything to find her .

Do il .

He reached up and placed his first two fingers on my forehead .

A surge of images , emotions , and thoughts flooded my mind .

I saw glimpses of Aurora she fought , but there was a dark tide ng around her , and the greatest thing I sensed was my Aurora , my former mate , drowning .

Disappearing into cold and I also sensed distance .

Great distance , as if the monster had taken her to the other side of the world .

I jerked away .

What the fuck ? Youve had her like that in your head this whole time and you didnt immediately tell me ? Shes trapped , he growled .

Whatever this thing is you set free , we need each other to get her back .

His tone surprisingly earnest , but that just made me want to strangle him more .

We arent getting her back .

I am .

And when I do , you will release her from whatever the hell youve done , or I am going to kill you and rip her free if I have to .

Holden smirked again , but this time his eyes were the cold , dead eyes of a killer .

You can try … if you think killing me wont kill her , too .

Before I could respond , the door burst open .

Trajan stood there , looking hollow eyed and exhausted .

Alpha .

Your children need you .

Now .
