Blood And Silver Rise of the Alpha's Rejected Mate novel Chapter 323

Chapter 323 

AURORA 

Evander sighed as he stood up. “I know I did wrong,” he muttered before walking away slowly, his shoulders heavy with guilt. 

“No,” Dane said firmly, his voice sharp as he stepped forward. “Admitting your mistake doesn’t fix anything. You need to apologize to Piper. You need to own up to what you did, admit you were wrong, and ask for her forgiveness.” 

Evander clenched his fists, his jaw tightening as he stormed into the house without a word. I couldn’t help but wonder what was running through his mind. 

“Don’t worry about him,” Dane said, turning to me. “I trust he’ll clean up his mess. But right now…” He paused, his eyes softening as he met mine. “I need to clean up mine.” 

I squinted at him, curiosity prickling at my thoughts. “Your 

mess?” 

“Come with me,” he said, taking my hand and pulling me along. 

We walked in silence until we reached the lake. Dane led me to a bench beneath a large tree, where he sat down and gently pulled me onto the seat beside him.

Wrapping his arm around my waist, he tugged me closer, and I rested my head on his shoulder as we gazed at the serene water. The soft ripples on the lake’s surface danced under the sunlight, their gentle movements calming my restless thoughts. 

“Peace,” I whispered, letting out a contented sigh. 

“Yes,” Dane agreed, his voice low and warm. He took my hand and kissed the back of it, his lips lingering for a moment. “About this morning…” he began, his tone growing serious. 

I turned to him, raising a brow. “What about this morning?” 

“I was wrong,” he admitted, his gaze locked on mine. “I judged you unfairly as a mother. I forgot that you’re the best there is- better than I could ever ask for.” 

His words left me momentarily speechless. I blinked, feeling a warmth rise in my chest. “Thank you…” I began, but he placed a finger to my lips. 

“Shh… let me finish.” 

I niled, sinking closer into his embrace. 

“I shouldn’t have acted the way I did,” he continued. “I’m sorry, Aurora. Truly.” 

I nodded, my voice soft. “I knew you were just being a worried father. Even though my feelings were hurt, I understood.” 

“That’s why you’re the best, Aurora,” he said, his voice filled

with admiration. “You always see past my flaws. You care for me, understand me, and never hold grudges.”

My checks flushed, and I smiled despite myself. “You’re making me blush, Dane. Stop with all these flattering words.” 

He clicked his tongue, smirking. “I wish they were just flattery. If they were, maybe I wouldn’t be so completely obsessed with 

you.” 

I chuckled softly. 

My stomach growled, breaking the moment, and Dane grinned. “My babe’s hungry, huh?” 

I nodded. “Yes. Can we head back and grab something to eat?” 

“There’s no need for that,” he said, whistling loudly. 

I raised a brow in confusion, but then three maids emerged from behind the trees, carrying a table and a beautifully arranged 

breakfast. 

As they set everything up in front of us, I couldn’t stop the smile spreading across my face. Once they finished and left, I turned to Dane. “Thank you, babe.” 

He kissed my forehead tenderly. “You deserve the world, my queen.” 

I watched as he served me a plate, his movements gentle and deliberate. I couldn’t help but smile as he caught me staring and

winked. 

4/5 

Dane had always been sweet, but his pride and ego often got in the way of showing it. Apologies didn’t come easily to him, yet here he was–apologizing, treating me to a romantic breakfast, and showing me the kind of love that made my heart swell. 

“What’s with this sudden sweetness?” I asked, my curiosity finally spilling over. 

Dane chuckled as he poured wine into two glasses. “Let’s just say I had a little heart–to–heart with a smart girl who takes after her mother.” He winked, handing me a glass. 

“Seraphina?” I guessed, my smile widening. 

He nodded, smirking. “She’s a clever one, just like you.” 

Raising his glass, he said, “A toast–to peace, love, and family.”
