Blood And Silver Rise of the Alpha's Rejected Mate novel Chapter 81

Chapter 81 

AURORA 

I fought Dane, but as impossible as it had felt for me to escape Holden, this was so much worse. 

So. Much. Worse. 

“Dane, please,” I begged him for the fifth or sixth time since he’d carried me outside. 

It was morning, but the ancient woods surrounding the Blue Ridge pack house were so thick, it might as well have been twilight. 

He just kept striding forward, not answering me. Because the forest here was old, it was more mossy, twisted roots and less undergrowth. But Dane was so tall, I kept coming within inches of being slammed into low–hanging branches. 

“Where are we going?” I asked. 

I wished so desperately that I could see into his mind. I was gutted that Connall was dead, tired from nights of no rest, and terrified for my children, my pack mates, and myself. 

If Dane took me into the woods and killed me, what would happen to Trajan and Evander?

I kicked, but Dane wrapped his arms around my legs trapping them against his hard, muscular body with bands of steel. 

I had no idea where we were going, only that it was uphill. He had me slung over his shoulder, and eventually I got dizzy and passed in and out of consciousness from the blood rushing to my head and the constant jostling. 

I came back to myself when Dane dropped me to the ground. It wasn’t a gentle fall. My legs crumpled beneath me on hard stone. 

For a moment, I just looked into the cloudy sky and breathed. 

When I finally got enough strength back, I looked around. 

We were at his grandfather’s house. Dane had dumped me on the sidewalk. He was a few feet away, fumbling with his massive lycan claws to unlock the door. 

Fear still drummed in my chest. Why were we here? Did he want to make me feel my guilt as deeply as possible before he killed 

me? 

I struggled to my feet, my legs and head aching and blood rushed back into the places it was supposed to be. 

I gauged the distance between me and the forest. If I was quiet-

“If you run. I will hunt you.” His growl was low and dangerous. “My wolf is on edge right now. I’m not all the way in control. So, unless you want me to shred that pale, perfect skin from your 

bones, don’t move.” 

Trembling, I stilled and stopped making plans to run. 

Finally, Dane got frustrated enough that he snarled and tore the front door off its hinges. It was even larger and heavier than the closet door back at the pack house, but he howled and sent it flying like it was made of paper. 

The way cleared, he stalked back toward me. 

“Let me walk,” I said. 

He snarled again and threw me over his shoulder. I coughed as my stomach landed on his hard muscle and the wind was 

knocked out of me. 

Then he carried me up the stairs. Alarm bells started going off in my mind as I realized we were in a bedroom. 

He slammed me down again, but this time it was on a bed. My body bounced, and I sat up just in time to see him stalk over and slam the door. 

I pulled back, afraid again. 

“Dane…” 

He turned back to me. As he walked, he shrank down into a
