Blood And Silver Rise of the Alpha's Rejected Mate novel Chapter 237

Chapter 237

Well, the sun had gone beyond the horizon, throwing these woods deep in shadow. Up ahead, I had caught a glimpse of Alina disappearing. She seemed to appear almost as smoke into darkness. 

It wasn’t curiosity pulling me deeper; it was instinct. Something just didn’t sit right in my brain with the way she’d left from tonight’s festivities. 

Alina had always been this rose bush in my life. These quiet stings pointed at keeping me off balance with each spoken word and each well placed, calculated act. Tonight felt no different. 

I watched my step, light as possible, breathing calmly as the faint path cleared its way between the trees alive with crickets humming and the periodic hoot of an owl, yet quiet. 

Then, before me, I saw it, light filtering through the trees. I approached it and my heart ran wild in my chest. 

With every step I took, the light grew stronger, and soon I could see that Alina was standing in some small clearing, her back turned to me.

Alina’s face changes into an image of wounded innocence. “Of course not, she is trying to twist things, Rowan. She’s jealous of what we’ve built together.” 

“Jealous?” I said. “Don’t flatter yourself, Alina. I’m trying to protect this pack, something you obviously could care less about.” 

Surprised, his fists clenched, Rowan took a scary step forward. 

“Knock it off, both of you. I don’t know who to believe.”
