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

Chapter 82 AURORA I ran my hands over Danes tense shoulders , then through his thick , soft hair .

My hands shook .

I wanted to tell him the truth .

I was going to tell him the truth about as much as I could .

But I was still afraid .

If he thought I was lying , Id die .

But the truth could kill me just as easily .

I … I took a steadying breath .

I want to tell you the truth , Dane , but Im afraid you wont believe it .

He said nothing , just held on to me , waiting .

So , I started talking .

I know you and I are committed to finding this relic , but lately … I dont know what to think .

These shadow creatures … the attacks … I trailed off , then started again .

Ive had some … dreams .

Somet visions .

I keep seeing myself in the past , and I dont know if Im the good person I thought I was .

But honest to the goddess , Dane , I thought I was a good person .

I want to be a good A Chapter 82 person .

My voice wavered at the end , and his thumbs began stroking small circles on my back .

2/4 Like I told you in the infirmary , I had a dream .

I thought I saw myself healing your grandfather and Piper .

So , I went down , and instead … My breath caught .

And now Connall is dead .

One of the few people who loved and accepted me before .

And its my fault .

I pressed a hand to my mouth as tears began to flow freely from my eyes .

Im so , so sorry .

I never meant to take him from you and your pack .

From our children .

Youre right to blame me for it .

But it wasnt because I meant it to happen .

I was just a fool .

The tears ran down my cheeks , warm and wet .

I dont know why Im getting these dreams , or what entity is sending them to me why trying to kill your family off .

I just know it all started when I came back here .

I think this relic … its protected by something dark , and the darkness wants to claim me , and it wants to kill you .

But I dont know why .

And I cant understand where Evelyn fits into it .

Unless she really was the chosen of the goddess of the moon , and I was the chosen of … something else .

Something evil .

Maybe Id been wrong about everything .

My whole life , Id wanted to do good .

To be good ..

Chapter 82 But maybe I wasnt good .

Maybe I was the evil that had to be vang inquished .

3/4 Anyway , thats the truth .

I fear myself .

I fear these dreams .

But aside from that .

I dont know any more than you do .

If I did , I would have stayed away from your grandfather .

I promise , I wont go near Piper .

Words arent enough for me to say how much I regret what happened , but I am no , so sor I didnt go into any more detail about the past .

I couldnt bring myself to say Id wanted him dead .

That everything hed suspected of me back then had been true .

Or would have been true , if I hadnt lost my memory the night we met .

I also didnt voice my thoughts that maybe I was evil , and he and Evelyn were supposed to join forces to get rid of me .

That maybe we were some kind of star crossed lovers , one dark , one light .

But the thought took hold , and I couldnt help but say , Maybe each of us were claimed by opposing powers far beyond us , and any love we might have had was doomed before it had even had a chance to start .

Dane finally straightened .

I sat on the edge of the bed , and he knelt before me .

He traced a hand up my arm to my shoulder to the back of my neek .

Then he pulled me forward and kissed me .

It was soft and heartfelt .

Part of me feared it was a kiss goodbye .

That he was lulling me into this moment of relaxation so it would be easy when he snapped my neek .

Chapter 82 4/4 But he didnt .

He pulled back , his eyes scorching into me .

I dont know whats going on .

I dont know why my family is in danger .

But Im sick of reacting instead of acting .

From here on out , that changes .

We figure out what were dealing with , and we deal with it .

We ? I asked .

My fingers tightened into fists .

It was hard to believe , after everything Id done , that he might let me live .

Dane gently pinched my chin between his thumb and forefinger .

Fuck higher powers .

The only person who can tell me I cant have you is you .

His eyes dropped to my lips , then met mine again .

So tell me , Aurora DeVere , can I finally make you mine ? Aurora DeVere , can I finally make you mine ?
