Blood And Silver:Rise of the Alpha’s Rejected Mate
Chapter 159

Chapter 159 DANE Get out of there .

I strode out of the pack house with my wolves around me and the Nameless in my head .

While there were werewolves traveling with me , that wasnt the form the Nameless took .

Instead , he appeared beside me as a massive wolf made of smoke and shadow with golden eyes .

She got to you .

She didnt , I growled .

Let me see your memories .

As time had gone on , I pulled my own mind further and further back from the being I served .

Not because I particularly cared , either way , but because it was harder to strategize and make decisions when it felt like I was only functioning with half a brain .

After as much loyal service as I had given him , the Nameless allowed it .

But I wasnt stupid enough to think he wouldnt rip it all away from me and turn me into a mindless , deadly puppet if he thought I was lying to him .

But another part of me a deeper part knew that what had Chapter 159 happened between me and the Luna and the children had to be protected at all costs , even if I couldnt bring myself to feel anything about it right now .

So I wrapped up the memory tight , like a concentrated ball of light , swathed it in my own shadows , and tucked it away , so far deep down in my brain it almost might have been forgotten anyway .

Almost , but not quite .

She spoke to me .

She wanted me , like you said , I replied .

The scent of her drifted through my mind again .

Sweet , like flowers .

And then the delicate musk of feminine arousal .

Fuck .

I re wrapped the memory in shadows and tucked it away again .

Go ahead and look if you like , I told the avatar of the Nameless that walked beside me .

The wolf huffed .

I felt the entity shuffle things around in my mind , and I forced myself to stay relaxed .

I showed him my initial meeting with Aurora , then the dance .

I let him see me get seduced by her .

He pulled back and didnt dig any further .

I told you to be cautious .

You didnt listen .

He was right .

I know better , now .

I wont let her get to me Chapter 159 3/3 again .

But you pulled me out before I could find the old man or see where they were hiding the relic .

The Nameless shadow wolf huffed .

Dont worry .

This was only the first meeting .

The true battle comes soon .

Dont forget , I want the relic , and I want that old man .

***** EVANDER Piper .

Who did this to you ? My hand was on her face and the words were out before I could catch myself .

All around , wolves attending the gala were muttering .

Staring .

Shit .

I pulled my hand away from her and stepped back .

Her cheeks were red , except where one was turning dark and bruised .

I tried to quell the rage inside me at the sight of it .

I wasnt Pipers protector .

I wasnt even someone she wanted to be around .

I was a freak .

A werewolf covered in scars from head toe , courtesy of the Reeds and a few silver knives .

Most wolves healed before scars could form .

Only silver left lasting damage .

None of them had been quite as damaged as me .

At least , not on Chapter 159 the outside .

4/5 Anyway , even if I wasnt scarred , why would Piper choose the company of a lowly pack warrior and spy when she was engaged to an Alpha ? Though warrior was a loose term .

These days , I was more like Auroras chosen assassin .

That was fine with me .

I preferred moving around in the dark .

Fewer people stared .

Piper looked up at me with big , brown eyes that made my heart thrash against the cage of my ribs like a bird that wanted to be free .

Piper cleared her throat .

Her cheeks were still pink .

Im sorry , I said quietly .

I forgot myself .

No , its all right .

Come on .

I cant silence all of these people with a stare like Aurora can .

Come up to the balcony .

Theres only pack up there , now .

Youre home early .

I was .

Id completed my mission faster than Id anticipated .

Warmth filled my chest at the realization that Piper must have known when I was supposed to return if she knew I was early now .

But that warmth was a dangerous spark , so I smothered it .

I wanted with all my heart to follow Piper up those stairs and sit Chapter 159 with her .

To share a drink and talk like we used to do not too long ago .

5/5 But Id been stupid then , wishing for things I couldnt have .

I gave her a smile , but it faded as I remembered what Id barged in the front doors in the middle of a gala even though I was still exhausted and rumpled from travel to do .

I cant , I said .

I have news for Aurora , and she needs to hear it .
