Blood And Silver:Rise of the Alpha’s Rejected Mate
Chapter 63

Chapter 63 DANE I wanted to kiss her .

I craved her lips , her body , her skin .

Every time Id kissed her before had been vengeful , hateful .

Or under the influence of Nights Truth .

Never , even as my wife , had I kissed her like a woman I might … I cut off the thought and pulled away .

I cleared my throat .

Dane ? Aurora looked dazed .

She lifted a hand , like shed reach for me , then let it drop again .

What do you want ? I let out a breath .

I couldnt kiss her like that when I was still engaged to Evelyn .

I should go .

Inside , I ridiculed myself for my own hypocrisy .

Id kissed Evelyn and more when I was still married to Aurora before .

But my heart had never belonged to her , and she had known it .

Evelyn thought I was hers .

She thought I would start to love her again .

That we would marry .

Through my mental bond , I sent word to Archer that she was Chapter 63 2/5 awake , but not Piper or my grandfather .

Tell Trajan .

Have him bring the children right away .

Shell want to see them .

Aurora called my name again , but I left the room .

Evelyn had saved my life when we were children .

She was pregnant with my child .

Aurora had saved my life , too .

Shed given birth to my children .

She had been my wife .

Had tried to love me , even when I refused to be a true husband and mate to her .

Now that I knew the truth , there was no reason to deny it any longer .

I wanted Aurora .

I had been a victim of the Reeds , but so had she .

For her entire life .

Innocent .

But I was going to break things off with Evelyn before I took another step .

Everything else … we could work out after that .

***** I found Evelyn in the conservatory on the southern side of the mansion .

The glass room was filled with plants , and the sun filled it with light .

She sat curled up on a chaise lounge , reading a book .

I went and Chapter 63 sat on the end .

We have to talk , I said .

3/5 Slowly , Evelyn lowered her book .

One of her hands went over her slightly rounded belly .

In a voice much calmer than I expected , she said , I dont like your tone , Dane Montague .

I breathed out slowly .

Id been committed to Evelyn for so long .

out of emotion , then out of duty .

The last time I tried to end things , she refused .

With no one in my life to love , I had let her get away with it .

Now , though .

I couldnt let this go on .

Were done , Evelyn , I said .

For real this time .

She plopped her book face down in her lap .

What the hell are you going on about ? Im pregnant with your child .

We arent done .

I told you last year I didnt want to do this anymore .

You refused to listen .

You were just going through a stressful time , she said .

You still are .

Dane , youre talking crazy .

I rose .

Were done .

This is because of that bitch , Aurora , isnt it ? Tears filled Evelyns voice .

What happened ? Did she do something to you Chapter 63 4/5 in that pack house ? Dane , how can you leave me for her after all this time ? After everything I … She broke off into quiet sobs , then clamped one hand around the crescent moon birthmark , which was how I had identified her as the little girl who saved me when the Reeds kidnapped me as a child .

She saved my life , too , I growled .

I found new evidence that shes always been innocent .

Shes also the mother of my children .

She was my wife , and I never gave her a chance .

Do you think shell want you ? Evelyn cried .

She got to her feet .

Im having your child Dane .

So what if she did ? Shes the Luna heir of some massive pack .

She has somewhere to go .

A place to be in the world that isnt by your side .

I dont .

How can you abandon me like this ? Her words cut into my heart .

You dont have to leave .

You can still be a member of Blue Ridge .

Ill raise my child with you .

I will always take care of you .

But I wont be with you .

Even if Aurora doesnt want me , its time we end this .

She burst into tears for real , wailing loudly .

She came to me , and it was habit to open my arms , pull her in , hold her and comfort her .

I hated what I had to do .

But if we didnt end this , I would still give in to my cravings for Aurora , and that would only betray Evelyn more .

I pulled away from her , even though she tried to cling to me .

Chapter 63 5/5 Its better this way .

Liar ! You selfish bastard ! she shouted .

Then she pressed both hands to her mouth and whispered in a heartbroken voice , Dont do this .

Its done , I said .

Were over .

I expect your things to be out of my room by tonight .

I turned to go , and Archer , my beta , emerged from the shadows of the doorway .

His face was dead serious .

Alpha , he growled , You may want to rethink what youre saying .

Aurora is going to betray you with Holden Coleridge and the Fall Line Pack .
