Blood And Silver:Rise of the Alpha’s Rejected Mate
Chapter 174

Chapter 174 DANE The chains dug into my wrists , burning like fire .

The Namelesss magic pulsed through them , shadows coiling tighter around me with every passing moment .

I could feel his fury before I heard his voice , thick in the air like a storm about to break .

You think this is a game ? His voice reverberated through the cavern , low and deadly .

I didnt respond .

My head hung low , sweat dripping from my forehead .

My body ached from struggling against the chains but I didnt stop testing them .

If there was even a sliver of weakness , Id find it .

You defy me , the Nameless continued , his form materializing in front of me .

Golden eyes blazed from a swirling mass of shadows , and his voice cut like a blade .

You think you can sabotage me and I wont notice ? 2/7 Chapter 174 I think , I said through gritted teeth , That youre afraid .

Thats why youre here , trying to make me shake because you know Ill never stop .

The shadows surged , slamming into my chest like a tidal wave .

Pain ripped through me , forcing a strangled sound from my throat .

You dare speak to me of fear ? The Nameless loomed closer , his towering form blocking out the little light there was in the cavern .

I am fear incarnate , Dane .

You exist because I allow it .

I forced myself to meet his gaze , even as agony radiated through my body .

You dont allow anything .

You manipulate , you destroy , but you dont create .

Thats why youll never win .

His laugh was cold , a sound that echoed off the stone walls like thunder .

You amuse me , young werewolf .

But amusement only lasts so long .

Your defiance has cost you , and now it will cost her .

My breath caught .

HER ? He waved a hand , and the darkness shifted , forming a window of smoke and light .

Aurora .

3/7 Chapter 174 The image was as clear as if I were standing in the war room beside her .

She was bent over a map , her lilac eyes sharp with focus .

Her lips moved as she issued orders , and the werewolves around her nodded in grim determination .

She fights so hard , the Nameless said , his voice dripping with mockery .

But she doesnt understand .

No matter how clever she thinks she is , she cant outmaneuver me .

I see everything .

Every step she takes , every breath she draws , it all leads to one inevitable conclusion .

I pulled against the chains , fury surging through me .

Leave her out of this .

Out of this ? He turned to me , shadows swirling like a storm around his form .

You dont understand , Dane .

She is this .

Everything revolves around her .

Around you .

The more you resist , the worse it will be for her .

This assault is your doing .

Youre the one waging war , I spat , my voice raw with anger .

Youre the one who ..

Enough ! His voice was a whip crack , silencing me instantly .

You forced my hand .

And now , you will bear witness to the consequences .

Chapter 174 The image shifted , showing Broken Ridges defenses .

4/7 The Pack Warriors lined the perimeters , their eyes scanning the horizon .

Witches stood among them , their hands glowing with spells ready to be unleashed .

They think theyre ready , the Nameless sneered .

But they have no idea whats coming .

My heart pounded as I watched the scene unfold .

The shadows on the edges of the image grew darker and deeper .

Figures emerged , creatures twisted and monstrous , with glowing eyes and claws that dripped with malice .

The Namelesss army .

Shell fight , he said , almost happily .

And shell lose .

And you will watch as everything you love burns to ash .

The shadows around me tightened , driving the breath from my lungs .

Shell stop you , I choked out , my voice barely audible .

His laughter was cruel .

Oh , Dane .

She doesnt even know what shes up against .

But dont worry , youll have a front row seat .

He waved a hand , and the image dissolved into smoke .

Then he turned back to me , his golden eyes blazing .

You think youve been clever , sabotaging me .

But I see everything .

Every 577 Chapter 174 lie , every betrayal .

The shadows surged again , wrapping around my throat .

I made you , he hissed .

I can unmake you just as easily .

Remember that the next time you think of crossing me .

The pressure around my throat eased , and I gasped for air .

Enjoy your chains , he said , his form dissolving into darkness .

Youll wear them until the end .

As the cavern fell silent , I slumped forward , every muscle in my body screaming in pain .

But I wasnt done .

I closed my eyes , reaching for the faint bond that still tied me to Aurora .

It was fragile , a whisper against the roar of the shadows , but it was there .

Aurora , I thought , pouring every ounce of my will into the connection .

Stay strong .

Dont let him break you .

The bond pulsed faintly , a flicker of warmth in the darkness .

I had to do something .

Anything .

The chains burned against my skin as I tried to break them again , pulling with all the strength I had left .

Pain shot through me , but I didnt stop .

Chapter 174 I couldnt stop .

Aurora needed time , time to prepare , to fight , to survive .

And if I could give her that , even at the cost of my freedom , I would .

The shadows around me began to shift , growing denser , and darker .

And then , out of the corner of my vision , I saw it .

A crack in the stone wall , where my chains were held .

Small , almost negligible , but there .

Hope flared in my chest .

I focused all my energy on my bond with Aurora , drawing strength from it as I began to pull against the chains again , trying to tug it out of the wall .

The shadows resisted , tightening their grip , but I pushed through the pain .

The crack widened , light spilling through it .

But then , a voice echoed through the cavern , cold and deadly .

Youll never escape , Dane .

As soon as it was gone , I tested the chains again .

They didnt budge .

But I wont stop .

My thoughts were a whirlwind of desperation and determination .

Chapter 174 Aurora needed time to find the relics true purpose .

7/7 I closed my eyes , focusing on the faint bond that still tied me to Aurora , getting ready to snap the chains with all my might once more .

It was fragile , barely there , but enough .

Stay strong , Aurora , I thought .

Ill find a way .

Then darkness surged , consuming everything .

And the world went dark .
