Blood And Silver Rise of the Alpha's Rejected Mate novel Chapter 324

Chapter 324 

AURORA 

“I don’t think you will get her, Evander,” I said softly, extending my hand toward him. “You have to let her follow her heart and be with the man she truly loves. Now, give me the photo.” 

Evander remained silent, his gaze fixed on the picture in his hand. I continued, my voice steady but gentle, “Let her go, Evander. I’m sure you’ll find the one who’s meant for you.” 

His voice broke when he replied, “I can’t… My whole life, it’s only been her. How can anyone else take her place?” 

I sighed deeply, choosing my words carefully. “But Evan…” 

He interrupted me sharply. “Can you forget Dane? Could you let someone else into your heart?” 

The weight of his question left me momentarily stunned. I closed my mouth, gathering myself before nodding. “That’s different. Dane and I are fated for each other. But Piper… Piper has always belonged with Warrick. They’re like yin and yang.” 

Evander grunted, his frustration evident. “She suits me more.” 

I smiled gently, shaking my head. “It’s not about who ‘suits’ who. It’s about who needs cach other. You and Piper could only ever be friends because you’re not meant for each other. But

Warrick needs Piper, and she needs him–just like Dane and I balance each other. He’s hotheaded, and I help calm him down. And Dane, well, he makes life exciting for me.” 

Evander stared at me, his expression conflicted. “Are you saying I have no need for Piper in my life?” 

I shook my head. “That’s not what I’m saying. I’m saying that the Moon Goddess paired us with our mates for a reason. When you find your true mate, you’ll see why you were matched. You’ll understand.” 

He sighed heavily, his shoulders slumping. I could tell my words had reached him, though I wasn’t sure if they would make a difference. 

I left his room and headed toward my office. When I arrived, I was surprised to see Piper pacing inside, her expression fraught with worry. 

“Piper?” I called softly, closing the door behind me. 

She stopped pacing and turned to face me, relief flashing in her es. “Thank goodness you’re here. I need to talk to you.” 

I sat down, gesturing for her to do the same. “I’m sorry, Piper. I apologize on Evander’s behalf. He shouldn’t have hurt Warrick like that.‘ 

Piper took my hand, squeezing it tightly. “No, Aurora. I should apologize for slapping and humiliating Evander like that.”

I shook my head firmly. “You did nothing wrong. Honestly, I would have done the same. Evander humiliated himself.”

Piper sat down across from me, her eyes red and swollen. She sniffled, wiping away lears. “Aurora… that photo of Warrick kissing someone else–I knew about it. He apologized, but the truth is, I never really forgave him. Instead, I got close to Rowan to hurt him back. I thought it would make us even, but I realized too late it was a terrible idea. By then, Warrick already hated Rowan, and I had no real feelings for him.” 

I sighed, closing my eyes briefly. “Piper, who do you love?” 

She stood abruptly and resumed pacing, her movements frantic. My eyes followed her until dizziness crept in. 

“I don’t know!” she exclaimed, her voice cracking. “I love him, but I can’t stand him. I care about him, but I don’t want to be near him. I crave his touch, but every time he touches me, all I see is his betrayal. I don’t know what my heart wants, Aurora. That’s why I’m here–to ask you for help.” 

I nodded, letting her pour out her confusion. 

“How did you know Dane was the one?” she asked, suddenly leaning forward, her elbows on my desk and her chin resting on her palms. 

I furrowed my brows, shrugging slightly. “I don’t know. It’s always been Dane. He’s always been in my heart. I didn’t have to figure it out because I already knew.”

As soon as the words left my mouth, I winced, What the heck am I saying? How is this supposed to help her? 

Piper tilted her head, her expression contemplative. “I see…” 

I blinked. “What do you see?” 

Her eyes brightened with realization. “I just have to figure out who has always been in my heart. Who I think of, even when I try not to.” 

Before I could ask who she was referring to, she stood abruptly and waltzed out of my office. 

Trajan, who was about to enter, shifted aside as Piper nearly bumped into him. He raised a brow, catching the files he was carrying as they almost slipped from his hands. 

“What’s up with her?” he asked, looking back toward the door. 

I shrugged. “How would I know? No one tells me anything about 

their lives.” 

I kept my gaze locked on him as I spoke, my tone light but Leasing. 

Trajan paused in the doorway, narrowing his eyes at me. “Why are you looking at me like that?” 

I smirked, stretching my hand toward the files. He stepped inside and handed them to me.
