Blood And Silver Rise of the Alpha's Rejected Mate novel Chapter 152

Chapter 152 

1/5 

AURORA 

I was so cold. 

Everything hurt. 

All I could see was a blazing field of white. 

I moaned and blinked. My mouth tasted like blood. I tried to move and cried out in pain. 

My eyes finally came back into focus, and I looked up. 

I lay at the bottom of a cliff in the snow. It was morning. There was blood splattered all around me. I coughed and then cried out. It felt like my ribs were broken. 

I blinked up at the cliff, to the tower that loomed above. Had I… fallen? I should be dead. 

My fingers closed around something, and a wave of relief washed over me. The pearl pendant was in my hand. But how? 

Flashes of memory came back to me. Cold and blood. My memories being stolen. That moment with Dane… 

Dane! 

Chapter 152 

I tried to breathe again. Other memories came rushing back, patchy and jumbled. The Nameless taking me. 

2/5 

Dane, finding me like he promised he would. Dane making some kind of deal—a deal I thought the Nameless would never take in a thousand years. But he had. And as the shadows swept from me and closed over him, he had shoved the pearl into my hand. 

And then the Nameless had shoved me off the tower, and I had 

fallen over the cliff. 

If my ribs didn’t ache so badly, I would have cried out in despair. 

Snow crunched. A shadow loomed overhead. A man’s voice said, “There you are, my dear. I’ve been looking for you.”

Time passed in a blur after Winston found me. He nursed me back to health, at least in body. My mind was still lost. My heart broken. We stayed in a hidden cave on High Alpine land. 

Dane had done what I begged him not to. Somehow, he had gotten the Nameless to take him instead of me. 

Then the Nameless had pushed me out of the tower. I should have died. 

Maybe I had, for a minute. 

Maybe Holden had, too. And stayed dead. Because I seemed to

be free of whatever bond he had put on me. 

Free, just in time to lose Dane again. 

3/5 

Winston was the one who told me that Dane had descended down to the High Alpine pack house and taken control of most of the pack. 

They might not have gone to him—I was still their Luna—but Lilliana had taken one look at the incredibly sexy, powerful Alpha offering to hand them the whole world and jumped to join him. 

Of course, she had. If my cousin had two weaknesses, they were power and handsome men. 

Only a handful of wolves were still under my command, and most of them were far, far away on missions for my grandmother. 

But she was dead now, and I didn’t know if they’d follow me. 

There was only one thing to do. When I was recovered, I said, “We’re going back to Georgia, and you’re coming with me. I won’t abandon my children or the Blue Ridge Pack.” 

What I didn’t say, but what I knew, was that I also had to return to that stone and retrieve the relic at last. With Dane as his weapon, the Nameless was about to sweep across the world in a wave of fire and blood. We had to be ready. 

As I left my family’s ancestral homeland, I looked back over the

4/5 

Dane, I promised, I’ll find you again. Just like you found me. No matter what it takes, or how long I have to search to find a way.
