Blood And Silver Rise of the Alpha's Rejected Mate novel Chapter 297

“Then we’ll fight for him,” Evelyn added, her voice sound as she took my hand. 

I looked at her, searching her face for any sign of doubt. There was none. She believed in me, in us, was unwavering. 

A heavy breath escaped my lips as I straightened my back. 

“We will do what we can do,” as we headed back to the pack house. My heart throbs at the thought of telling Dane the rival pack’s conditions for his life and the pack’s peace.

We got back a few hours later and I couldn’t bear to face Dane or anyone. I freshed up and went to sit at the head of the large oak table in the packhouse, weighed down by my frustration. 

The fingers of one hand drummed aimlessly on the wooden surface as my mind whirled from Dane’s condition to the wicked conditions of the rival pack. 

Piper approached me with a sad face, a look of trouble on her features. “What now, Piper?” I asked, far sharper than I meant. 

She didn’t even bat an eye; she’d gotten so used to my present condition. 

“It’s those claw marks near the border,” she said, crossing her arms over her chest. “Something about them’s been gnawing at me.” 

“Did you patrol the area like I told you?” 

“I did, but I think we missed something. I want to go back and look again.” 

I leaned back, blowing out a slow breath. “Fine. Take someone with you this time.”

Strange markings scarred its bark, their patterns jagged and deliberate.

My stomach tightened. “Those are the same symbols found near the packhouse,” I said. “What do you think they mean?” 

Before Piper could respond, faint whispers pierced the air. We looked at each other, then wordlessly retreated to hide behind the trunk of a thick tree. 

Two unknown werewolves appeared. Their voices were low yet as clear as crystal. 

“The pack is weak right now,” one of them said with an edge of arrogance. “This is the perfect time to strike.” The other wolf nodded gravely. 

“We just gotta wait for the signal from Orion. he knows when they should move.” 

My heart seemed to run a race course as things started fitting, Orion wasted planning something else. 

Piper’s grip on my arm tightened. “We need to get out of here,” she whispered. 

I nodded, and we slowly stepped backward, careful not to make any noise. My mind was reeling. Were these wolves rogue allies. of Orion, or was there another pack?

In an instant, the moment Piper and I ran into the council chamber, all conversation stopped.

Across the table, the council members who were in debate over the deadline given by the rival pack turned toward us, worry and surprise spread across their faces. 

“What is it now?” Trajan asked, sharp but controlled. Evelyn looked up at me, worry written all over her face. 

Piper stepped forward, her voice trembling with urgency. “We’re being watched. There are wolves on our borders, unfamiliar wolves and they’re planning to infiltrate the pack while we’re weak.” 

The murmurs began at once, a cacophony of voices blending into one another. 

“How can you be sure?” Warrick’s voice cut through the noise, his skepticism evident. 

“We overheard them,” I said, cutting in for Piper. “They were talking about Orion and how he’s going to attack when we’re weakest.” 

Warrick crossed his arms. “You’re positive they work with Orion? Maybe they’re just some rogue group taking advantage of a bad situation.” 

“They said his name,” Piper snapped. “This is not some 

scattered group. They are organized and they know exactly where we stand.”

Aurora’s voice was soft, but commanding. “And they’re going to attack soon.” 

Trajan leaned forward, his face grave. “What precisely did you hear?” 

Piper turned to them and began telling about the conversation. she overheard. ““The pack is weak right now. This is the perfect time to strike.‘ That’s what one of them said. And they mentioned waiting for Orion’s signal. 

The room fell into thick silence as the weight of her words sank

“How many did you see?” one member asked. 

“Two,” Piper replied, “but there could be more. These were just scouts.” 

“This changes everything,” another elder murmured, shaking his head. “If Orion’s still moving against us, despite the deal, then we’re far from safe.” 

Warrick’s hand came down hard on the table. “That is just why I said we should have dealt with him when we could! We’ve sat here, debating, while he’s out there plotting against us!” 

“Wow… while you were here hiding behind Piper’s waist, huh?” Evelyn shot at Warrick as she jolted up to her feet. 

“Enough,” I said, my voice high and clear. “It serves nothing to

Trajan merely nodded, his voice level. “We reinforce the borders at once. More patrols, more traps, to catch those scouts slipping through.
