Blood And Silver Rise of the Alpha's Rejected Mate novel Chapter 103

Chapter 103 

AURORA 

My grandmother looked at me for a long moment, and I couldn’t read the expression on her face. 

“No.” Augusta said at last. “But I don’t trust Montague to share, either. And that means playing nice, even when we hate it. Now go talk to Coleridge so he’ll get out of my hair.” 

She hung up. 

I sighed and leaned back in Dane’s office chair. It smelled like him in here, and I liked it. I didn’t want to leave. 

But Augusta was right. Sometimes, in business and in pack politics, we had to do things we despised. 

Things we feared. 

I stood and walked to the door. Two of Dane’s guards were outside of it. 

“I’m going to use the restroom,” I told them when they started to follow me. 

Maybe that wouldn’t have worked on a female guard. Or 

someone as practical as Trajan, or even Dane’s beta, Archer. But these two were only pack soldiers, and not very old. They

exchanged looks and their checks flushed. 

“Be quick please, Luna–heir,” one said. 

I nodded and strode down the hall. 

I had better come back from this meeting unscathed, or Dane would have that guard’s hide, and that would also be my fault on top of everything else. 

I found Holden outside. It took me longer to find him than I wanted. I knew Dane’s guards would be looking for me, soon. 

“There you are,” he said. He smiled as he rose out of the lawn. chair to greet me. He was sitting in the shade of a tree near one of the flower gardens on the property. His wolves stood guard around them. 

It looked like every single one of the wolves he’d brought to Blue Ridge was there, which made alarm bells start to go off in my head. 

I paused several feet from him. I should have let Dane’s guards come with me, but Augusta had insisted I meet Holden alone. 

“My grandmother said you wanted to meet with me,” I said. 

“Yes. I’ve wanted to apologize to you. And I wanted to let you know that Fall Line is using every resource it has to help search for the twins.” 

“In that case, thank you and goodbye.” I turned and started to

walk away. 

“Hold on!” 

3/5 

Before I could go more than a few steps, Holden’s hand closed around my wrist. His guards were moving, slowly surrounding us. My heartbeat kicked up. 

“What are you doing?” I asked. 

Holden sighed. He didn’t let me go. “Like I said, I wanted to apologize. Words aren’t really enough. I was hoping you’d sit. I have a gift for you.” 

Reluctantly, I nodded. Dane’s wolves would be raising the alarm that I hadn’t returned soon enough. Then they’d come looking, and Holden wouldn’t have a choice but to let me go. 

I always hated not having a wolf, but I hated it the most at times. like this, when being able to call for help on a pack bond would have prevented me from being completely helpless. 

I sal. 

“That wasn’t so bad, was it?” he asked. 

I crossed one of my legs over the other and leaned back in my chair. If the illusion of cool grace was all I could have in this moment, I’d use it. Let him think I wasn’t afraid. Let him see me remain always in control.
