Blood And Silver:Rise of the Alpha’s Rejected Mate
Chapter 154

Chapter 154 AURORA My heart caught in my chest , but I couldnt show any weakness .

I couldnt show any fear .

I lifted my chin .

Thats Luna Montague to you .

I couldnt believe he was finally here .

Dane .

Standing in front of me after two and a half years of no contact , only hearing about his rampage across Europe , conquering or slaughtering any wolf and wolf pack who dared to stand against him .

He looked like himself , but … dangerous .

Dont get me wrong , Dane had always been dangerous .

But hed also cultivated a control over his emotions , his actions , that was stronger than steel .

This version of him was rougher .

Harder .

Gone was the ultra polished billionaire .

This man , while still a billionaire , had all the sharp edges of a man who spilled rivers of blood .

He was dressed all in black .

His hair was a little longer , a little tousled .

Dark stubble emphasized the line of his jaw .

His dark eyes were half lidded , which emphasized his long , dark eyelashes .

His smile was lazy .

The irises of his eyes , which had always been brown , were now ringed in gold , as if the wolf never completely left him , even Chapter 154 when he was a man .

2/5 Montague ? he drawled .

I watched his eyes for any kind of reaction , but they only stayed lazily half lidded .

You had that name once .

I recall you were eager to be rid of it .

What did he know ? What did he remember ? When I was under the influence of the Nameless for those few , harrowing days , it was like everything good had been taken from me .

My children and the way Dane had warmed to me were distant memories .

That left only the cold and the dark , the ambition and the driving need for power and violence .

Was that all Dane remembered ? All he knew ? Or had two and a half years under the power of the Nameless had a different effect ? Maybe he had more time to remember who he was .

Who he loved .

Or maybe hed had more time to forget .

Either way , he wasnt a mindless killer .

That wasnt what the Nameless had wanted from him .

No , Dane had become worse .

A strategic , ruthless general .

I chose it , I said , To honor the dead .

Something flashed behind his eyes .

I wasnt sure if he thought I was talking about his grandfather … or the man he , Dane , had been .

WIRE Chapter 154 The answer was : I wanted to honor them both .

3/5 When he didnt move , I lifted my hand .

All the wolves around us were silent , watching with bated breath .

Dane had brought several wolves of his own with him a dozen hulking fighters dressed all in black .

Aside from us , there were representatives from dozens of other packs .

Some wanted to negotiate their own safety from Dane and the Nameless now that they had turned their sights to North America .

Others wanted to negotiate alliances with me , because once Dane had started murdering members of the Council , I had begun consolidating the packs of Georgia and the Southeastern .

US .

All their fighters .

Resources .

Money .

Id called on the witch covens as well .

For two and a half years , theyd been warding wolf territories .

Creating safehouses .

Making places that , even in the darkest tide of the war , would be safe from the shadow .

Now , thanks to my pack and my alliance with the covens , I was the strongest line of defense that stood between Dane and the rest of the world .

No , not Dane .

The Nameless .

That was the enemy .

That monster had taken the man I loved as a prisoner , a puppet , a weapon , and I would do anything to get him back .

My hand still hovered in the air .

Are we dancing , Alpha Montague ? Chapter 154 Danes sharp smile grew , and he slid his hand across mine .

4/5 I bit down on a gasp .

Suppressed a shudder .

After two and a half years , just taking his hand and inhaling his scent was like being taken by the throat and pushed up against the wall .

His skin , when his hand slid across mine , felt like heat and passion and everything Id lost .

As the Luna wishes .

The wolves around us were silent as Dane led me down the stairs to the ballroom .

I gestured to the musicians , and they struck up a song for a dance .

The song started , all deep , moving string instruments .

It was a song that vibrated in my bones , a cello piece that sounded like danger , need , and loss .

Dane pulled me against his body .

I knew how dramatic we must look me in my silver dress , my skin and hair so pale they were both almost white .

Him in his black suit , with his golden skin and dark hair .

One of his hands still held mine captive .

The other went to my ribcage , slowly trailing heat down my side until it came to rest on my hip .

Is this why you came here ? To dance ? A look like a thunderstorm crossed his gold ringed eyes .

Then he pulled me roughly , possessively against his body , his hand sliding around my back to hold me there .

A slight tremor passed Chapter 154 5/5 through him , as if being this close affected him the same way it was affecting me .

He dipped his lips to my ear and whispered , Yes .

You have no idea how much Ive missed you .
