Blood And Silver Rise of the Alpha's Rejected Mate novel Chapter 83

Chapter 83 

DANE 

I waited, every part of me straining at the edge of control, for her 

answer. 

I had sensed over the last few days that she was holding herself back from me in a way she hadn’t before. I wasn’t sure why. 

Now I knew. This “higher powers” bullshit. 

I served the goddess, sure. Serving her didn’t make me good or evil. It just made me practical. There was no such thing as fate. or destiny. Only how you chose to act in any given moment. 

If Aurora believed she was being claimed by some kind of darkness, the answer was simple. Tell it no. Don’t serve it. 

We are all no more and no less than the person we choose to be. 

“Well?” I asked. 

Aurora’s eyelids fluttered, as if she’d just lost some big internal war with herself, and she nodded. 

“Yes,” she whispered. “I want to be yours, and I want you to be mine. I don’t have the strength to fight against what I want anymore. Especially now that you want me, too. I waited so long…”

Her cheeks were wet with tears. I brushed them away, then kissed her again, keeping my lips soft against hers. 

2/5 

If I knew anything about Aurora, it’s that she had been treated plenty of ways over the years, but very few of those ways had been kind, tender, or loving. 

I wanted her to know what it felt like to be loved tonight.. 

I should have given her that so long ago. 

I rose, gently pushing her until she lay on her back on the bed, and I could brace myself over her. 

Everything was bullshit except this. 

Everything was fucked up, but I believed her. 

I slipped an arm beneath her and moved us both so that we lay on the bed. My hips were between her open thighs, and I wanted nothing more than to forget the world and sink inside. 

But like I said, she deserved to feel loved. 

“Dane,” she said, sounding shy. “I haven’t been with anyone since…” 

A low growl rumble through me at the thought of her being with someone else. “Since when?” 

“Since you,” she whispered.

It was like a giant hand reached out and grabbed me by the 

throat. 

3/5 

Fuck. 

When I spoke, I couldn’t help that my voice sounded like it was being dragged over gravel. I looked down at her, pale and silvery in the darkness, and stroked hair away from her gorgeous face. 

“You haven’t been with anyone since me? And that…that was your first time.” 

I remembered the way she winced. The smear of blood. I remembered the way that guilt had gnawed at me, even then, believing the things about her that I had. 

I lowered my forehead to press against hers. “Fuck, Aurora. I’m sorry. I’m sorry for the way I treated you back then. Let me show you what it’s supposed to be like.” 

Her throat bobbed as she swallowed. Then she said, “I’d like that. And I want…I want you to teach me how to please you.” 

I started kissing down her neck. I couldn’t get enough of her skin, soft and sweetly scented and so addictive. “The only way I’ll be pleased is by watching you feel pleasure. If I do something you like, tell me. If I do something you don’t, tell me. 

0.” 

I kissed lower, and she moved against me. “I love every way you touch me, Dane.”
