Blood And Silver Rise of the Alpha's Rejected Mate novel Chapter 36

Chapter 36 

EVELYN 

I gritted my teeth. Dane was generous, but I didn’t have access to his accounts. I made plenty of my own money by anyone’s standards

Or I would, if my own mother wasn’t constantly begging me to cover her gambling debts

But not this time. I’d been telling her for years I wasn’t going to do it anymore. This time, I was going to put my foot down

Nno, mom,I said. Damn the waver in my voice. But I wasn’t going to back down. Not this time. Not when Dane had really, truly promised we’d set a date. I’d be his wife, his mate, his Luna, and the mother ofwell, my child

My mother’s voice turned dangerous. Evie. I know you aren’t refusing me. You know what happens when people refuse.” 

It’s not like it used to be,I told her. I’m with Dane, now. I have the protection of the entire Blue Ridge Pack. I’m going to be their Luna, and there’s nothing you can do to stop me

My mother laughed, low and dangerous. Oh, darling. You’ve forgotten my power. But that’s all right. Have your tantrum. I’ll remind you not to cross me.”

2/6 

Her words sent so much terror through me, I changed my mind.. I opened my mouth to say I was joking. Of course, I’d send her 

money

But the line went dead. She’d hung up on me

Evelyn!Dane called from somewhere outside the room. It’s time.” 

I straightened my dress, pasted a smile on my face, and went to find my fiancé

As long as I could keep him away from Aurora, he would always keep me safe. She thought Esther Reed was bad? She had no 

idea

PIPER 

I waited for my brother just inside the door. He walked in just before dark, when Aurora was already calling people for the 

ceremony

Do you have them?he asked

I nodded and handed him two plastic sandwich bags. Each of them had hair taken from the twinshairbrushes

He examined the bags, looking troubled. I thought I knew why

You’re worried you’re going to have children with two women

said into his mind. It was easier, better, more private. As the princess of Blue Ridge, I knew the value of privacy. That’s why it made me squirm to think how I’d violated Aurora’s

Dane looked at me sharply. I saw them, Piper. She thinks in the midst of all this I forgot. I didn’t. There’s something she’s not telling me. If they’re mine… 

I nodded, even though I wasn’t sure how he meant to end that 

sentence

Aurora was the desire of my brother’s heart. If I believed her –and I wasn’t nearly as sure as he was that she was a liarhe was the desire of hers. Where did that leave the children, of they were his

Where did it leave Evelyn and her baby

Dane glanced over his shoulder. It’s time to start. I want you in that circle. If anyone is going to gain this power that isn’t Aurora, I want it to be you.” 

I blushed. My brother’s trust was high praise. He hardly trusted 

anyone

I don’t want to believe she’d have your children and not tell you. ButI have heard them call her Mommy,I said

Rage flashed in Dane’s eyes. Because if they were Aurora’s, they were either hisor she’d slept with someone very, very close to the time she’d left. Whether it was before they’d severed their bond or after, I had no idea

4/6 

All I knew was that she and my brother had something about. themboth of them. But they only seemed to hurt each other. That wasn’t healthy. It would be better if the kids weren’t his. Better for him, and for Aurora

Let me know what you find out,I said

He tucked the baggies in his pocket. I will. Now help me find Evelyn.”

AURORA 

The moon was rising. I was surrounded by 100 wolves. I stood on the grass of the Blue Ridge pack house in my bare feet, my face upturned

It was a warm summer night, not too hot or damp. The sky was clear. It was perfect for calling on the goddess

Dane stood in a special place in the circlea place where he could raise and concentrate the power the goddess had given him as an Alpha

When the moon climbed to its highest point, I signaled the wolves. All around me, torches lit. 

When every single one held a flame, I raised my arms and called on the goddess

Chapter 36 

I wasn’t exactly sure of the language. It was so ancient, there wasn’t a scholar on earth who could understand it
