Blood And Silver Rise of the Alpha's Rejected Mate novel Chapter 1

Chapter 1
ANN

"Please, Dane...slower..." I begged.

Even though we'd been married for three years, my husband, Alpha Dane Montague of the insanely powerful Blue Ridge Pack, had never touched me.

Now, finally, he was buried deep inside me. I didn't mind the pain as he took my virginity.

I didn't even mind where we were, in a small office above a dirty club that served the dark supernatural underworld of Atlanta.

We weren't even in a bed. Just on a couch. It was dark and stuffy and smelled like old cigarettes.

I just wanted to feel this moment.

Maybe, finally, after so many years of throwing my heart at him, of trying to tell him I was a victim that night, too, he would love me...

He bent to growl in my ear, "You went to a witch for a love spell just so I could bear to touch you, didn't you? So f*cking desperate. Why now, Ann? Because Broken Forest is finally mine? Because I finally took everything from them?"

His words pierced my heart and shocked me, even as he still moved inside me. Even as he stole my breath with his accusation. "What are you—ahh!"

I couldn't stop my moan. Despite his anger, his accusation, he was giving me pleasure like I had never experienced.

He smirked, but I knew him like no one else did. There was something unsteady in him.

After three years of resisting me, of hating me, he wanted this, too.

But then he bent and whispered, "Now, you're going to come, and you're going to scream my name. Because you will always belong to me, but I will never love you."

I didn't want to, but he changed his angle, thrust harder, deeper, and I couldn't help it. "Dane!"

My orgasm tore through me even as my heart tore in half.

*****

I sat on the couch after, cold and alone as he cleaned up in the bathroom.

I was so stupid.

Three years ago, when he rescued me from those woods and carried me miles to his home to save me, my heart was lost to him.

A part of me was thrilled when my parents forced him to marry me.

But little did I know, this forced marriage was never what he wanted.

I told him my parents drugged me with silver that night, but he never believed me. He thought I was a part of their scheme. Willing to sell my body to keep him under Broken Forest Pack's control.

But really, my parents knew I would never agree to it. That was why they drugged me with so much silver and beat me so badly I had almost died.

They'd left me on his lands, knowing his good nature wouldn't allow him to leave me.

That single act of kindness had led to so many terrible things.

Dane had lost his family that night, and I had lost myself.

I lost my wolf.

I closed my eyes, a tear sliding down my cheek. Three years had passed, and I couldn't stop mourning her.
