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

Chapter 148 DANE My cs paused a millimeter from his throat.

He might as well have reached up and punched his own claws into my chest.

What did you say? Holdens familiar smirk flitted across his face, but only for an instant.

Then he pretended to look shocked and pitying.

You mean she didnt tell you ? he said.

Hm.

I guess you two werent as close as you thought.

His posturing didnt have the seffect as it could have since he was on his back in the mud with his blond hair plastered to his forehead.

I wrapped my hand around his throat and lifted him.

We were close in size as men, but as a lycan, I was larger.

I lifted him until his feet dangled six inches off the ground.

It should have taken effort.

It didnt.

Whatever had happened to me, I wasnt just magically stronger, I was physically stronger, as well.

Repeat yourself.

I had just seen her.

Just been with her in the vision.

Was it even real? Would she remember? 2/6 Chapter 148 Holdens eyes bulged and he choked on his words.

I... bound her... to... If she was already bound to him, what did it mean for the strange moment she and I had shared ? Had it done anything? Would I ever be able to get her back? I dropped him.

He collapsed in a heap on the muddy ground.

The rain was cold against my skin, which felt suddenly hot.

I looked toward Piper.

Auroras cousin had helped her up.

When we left to perform the ritual at the stone, he wasnt even awake.

Hed been asleep since Aurora had healed him.

As he moved to help Piper into the house, he slipped, and it looked like she was helping him .

I returned my attention to Holden on the ground at my feet.

His wolves were closing in.

I hauled him up and put my claws at his throat again, facing his wolves.

Tell them not to move, I growled.

Dont move! Holden called out, his voice cracking.

Now, you are going to dismiss your wolves, and you and I are going to go inside and have a talk.

Holden did, sending his protesting wolves out of my territory.

I knew theyd be waiting on the borders, but as long as they didnt cross those borders, I didnt care.

I sent most of my Blue Ridge wolves to make sure they left and 3/6 Chapter 148 shoved Holden in front ofinto the pack house.

I took him to one of the conference rooms and posted warriors to wait outside.

Then I closed the door and turned on him.

Because I knew what he had said tocouldnt be real.

I had to have misheard.

You nt be mate bonded to Aurora.

I didnt say, Because I just did my best to bond her toin skind of dream world.

Instead, I said, Her wolf is dead.

Even as I said it, it felt wrong.

But her wolf was dead.

Of everyone on the world, I would know.

Holdens mouth twisted.

You just havent thought out of the box enough.

I moved toward him.

You had better explain.

Now.

Ive just becthe Alpha of the Broken Forest Pack.

Im not afraid to take on Fall Line, too.

His eyes widened.

You killed the old man ? He challenged me.

Holden shoved his rain plastered hair out of his face .

Shit.

Im about to kill you, too, I growled.

I can sense Aurora is gone, he said quickly.

I can sense where she is.

Im in her mind.

I know something has her .

The thing youve been trying to unearth.

It wasnt what you expected, or the old Luna who runs High Alpine .

You thought you were going Chapter 148 to claim power.

Youre in over your heads.

4/6 Holdens statement hung in the air between us, heavy and ominous.

I couldnt let him know how right he might be.

I refused to believe I couldnt fix this.

Couldnt get Aurora back.

Tee where she is or Ill kill you.

I grabbed him by the shirt collar.

Enough games! Its not that easy.

Holden glared.

The bond isnt like yours was .

I was more ... thorough than you.

I can sense her, feel her emotions, and know where she is.

Its a powerful link, Dane, one you cant understand.

Holden had always been arrogant.

Try me.

If this is skind of trick... No trick.

He held up his hands.

I can show you if you want.

Share a little piece with you.

Its been a long tsince you felt connected to her, hasnt it? He wiggled his fingers.

I wanted to rip them off.

Then show me, I said through gritted teeth.

Holden shrugged, a casual gesture that threatened all the control I was using not to tear him apart.

I can share sof the bond with you.

Let you feel it for yourself.

1 hesitated.

Alphas rarely let other Alphas into their heads, though we can form a sort of bridge between our minds if we need to.

It was just that none of us every trusted each other enough to do it.

Chapter 148 5/6 In the end, though, I would have done anything to find her.

Do il.

He reached up and placed his first two fingers on my forehead .

A surge of images, emotions, and thoughts flooded my mind.

I saw glimpses of Aurora she fought, but there was a dark tide ng around her, and the greatest thing I sensed was my Aurora, my former mate, drowning. Disappearing into cold and I also sensed distance.

Great distance, as if the monster had taken her to the other side of the world.

I jerked away.

What the fuck? Youve had her like that in your head this whole tand you didnt immediately tell me? Shes trapped, he growled. Whatever this thing is you set free, we need each other to get her back.

His tone surprisingly earnest, but that just madewant to strangle him more.

We arent getting her back.

I am.

And when I do, you will release her from whatever the hell youve dane, orl am going to kill you and rip her free if I have to . Read the latest Jam chapter there! Holden smirked again, but this this eyes were the cold, dead eyes of a killer.

You can try... if you think killingwont kill her, too.

Before I could respond, the door burst open.

Trajan stood there, looking hollow eyed and exhausted.

Alpha.

Your children need you.

Now.
