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

Chapter 7 AURORA Dane had never kissedbefore.

The only twe had sex, hed avoided it.

Now his mouth descended on mine, hard and claiming and hot.

It was so good, I closed my eyes and lost myself.

Danes mouth, his possessive hands, his hard body... it was everything Id dreamed of.

Then his words cback to me.

You will always belong to me, but I will never love you.

I bit down and shoved with all my strength.

A wolfless woman shouldnt have been able to move an Alpha as big and strong and powerful as Dane Montague , but I bit him.

hard.

Ah ! he jumped away with a hand to his mouth, and I slipped out from between him and the wall.

I couldnt let him pinlike that again.

My breath shook.

For the first tin a long time, I was flustered.

Chapter 7 I felt like Ann Reed, and I hated it.

I wasnt her.

I was Aurora.

2/6 If you touchagain without my permission, I will kill you, I hissed.

His fingers caway bloody from his mouth.

Good.

Because my wrists were red where he grabbed them.

I rubbed them.

Ann.

Id almost think you grew fangs and found your wolf while you were gone.

I was o the room was dark so he couldnt seeblush in shame.

But the shonly madeangrier.

I wished I had found my wolf.

I wished I could rip that smirk right off his face .

Not fangs.

Just a spine.

And its Aurora.

If I didnt need this smug, arrogant man, Id ask Trajan to kill him.

Why did you cback here if not for my ... his eyes traveled hungrily down my body ... attention? The heat in his eyes made fire lick at my core, but my voice was ice.

Five years and youre even less of a gentleman.

He stepped in close again.

You used to begnot to be gentle, if it meant I would claim you.

I gritted my teeth, hating all these reminders of the past.

I told you who I am.

You know why Im here.

Chapter 7 3/6 His eyes flashed I know why Im meeting with the DeVeres.

I know what they claim to have.

Then- All of a sudden, music chimed into the tense space between us.

My phone! I recognized the ringtone, and my stomach went cold.

I reached into my clutch and silenced it.

Whos that? Your new lover? Dane asked None of your business.

Id lost control of this situation.

I needed to escape before he could ask more .

I wrenched open the door and walked out.

Coming had been a mistake.

I should have met him in a more controlled situation.

And I hadnt expected my body to react to his this way.

I needed to find Trajan and leave.

But as I stepped back into the main room, someone else called my name.

Ann! Oh, my! Its been so long! I thought you had forgotten all about! My heart softened as my gaze fell on the old man who ctoward me.

Connall Montague.

Danes grandfather, and one of the only people from my old life who had truly lovedand shownkindness Grandpa, I said, unable to help the smile that crossed my face.

Chapter 7 I went to him and kissed him on either cheek.

I could never forget you.

He took my hand and squeezed it tightly, like he was afraid I might disappear on him again.

4/6 His worries werent unfounded.

Because as Dane cto stand with us, I wanted to disappear more than anything.

Dane glared and said, She abandoned us.

Dont be kind to her.

The old man ignored him.

Come, tellwhere youve been the last five years.

I want to hear everything I let him leadup onto the balcony.

It was reserved for high ranking pack members and far less crowded than the area downstairs.

There isnt much to tell, I said helplessly.

Lie.

There was everything to tell.

So much had happened tothat I couldnt even wrap my brain around it.

It would have been nice to be able to speak to Mr.

Montague like I used to, open and honest.

But Dane lurked nearby, broad shouldered and brooding, so I kept my mouth shut .

Besides, I couldnt trust Mr.

Montague to keep my secrets from his grandson.

They were too big.

Too life shattering.

Mr.

Montague tutted at me.

Id forgotten his habit of doing that, Chapter 7 and the sound was son familiarit sharpened my bittersweet emotions. 5/6 Come, dear.

Five years dont pass with nothing happening at all.

Where have you been? I ... did spend stin Europe, I admitted reluctantly.

In fact, I have a companion downstairs.

Of course, Mr.

Montague said.

Show him to me.

I pointed out Trajan and Mr.

Montague tutted again, but this the turned towith genuine worry in his eyes.

Is this your husband? Mate? Have you really moved on from Dane? The pain in his eye's brought back a wave of the heartbreak Id felt when I left. It hurt so much; it was all I could do not to press my hand against my chest.

I think its fair to move on from someone who never loved me, I said quietly.

He does love you, Mr.

Montague grumped, his old face wrinkling in consternation.

Hes blinded by his anger.

I gave him three years to see again.

He couldnt.

Love didnt treat someone the way Dane had treated me, but I didnt say that out loud.

Knowing the things Dane had said towould only hurt his grandfather, and I didnt want to do that.

Besides, Dane was openly listening, now.

Well, Ann, have you moved on ? he asked mockingly.

I ignored him, focusing on Mr.

Montague.

Trajan is just my Chapter 7 assistant and bodyguard, I said.

Hes- 6/6 From down below, near the doorway, a woman screamed, WHY IS SHE HERE? Evelyn Barclay had arrived
