Blood And Silver Rise of the Alpha's Rejected Mate novel Chapter 201

Chapter 201 

DANE 

The air is thick and heavy tonight, weighed down by the storm brewing around us. 

The pack has been working nonstop, reinforcing defenses, and devising a strategy, but I don’t feel one inch better. Something’s wrong and I just can’t put my finger on it. 

Aurora is a beacon within the darkness, the new power welling inside of her alive and breathing now, as if a living thing unto itself–a thing of both wonder and surprise. 

But there is something behind her eyes that she has not shared. 

I walked down some area taken by an overriding feeling we’re being watched. Whispers hide upon the breeze as it stirs the leaves, just out of catch. 

“Something’s not right,” I mutter lowly. 

Trajan steps out of the darkness, his movements almost smooth. 

“Dane,” he says, his tone neutral, almost too calm. 

“The eastern watch needs reinforcement. I’ve already sent a few of our best there.” 

I narrowed my eyes studying him. “Why weren’t those orders run through Aurora or me?”

“Trajan!” I scream, planting myself in his path. 

He spins around, his face empty, no warmth, no fear that I’ve ever known. “Dane,” he says, his tone hollow. “You shouldn’t have come.”

“Snap out of it,” I plead, my voice filled with emotion. “This isn’t you. Fight it.” 

His lips twist into a cold smile. “There is no fighting it. The 

Nameless owns me now.” 

I clench my hold on my blade. “Then I’ll free you the hard way.” 

We clash, his strikes exact and unending. Every blow hurts even more, remembering the bond that once lay between us. 

“You can’t win,” he says, a near–pitying tone in his voice.
