Blood And Silver Rise of the Alpha's Rejected Mate novel Chapter 98

Chapter 98 

AURORA 

I didn’t think I would sleep. 

Even if I could, I knew it would only be for a few minutes. 

But having Dane so close, touching so much of his skin with mine, it brought me a level of comfort I didn’t even know was possible, and I was so exhausted. I sank into the depths of unconsciousness like a rock and didn’t resurface.

“We have to get it back! That land is ours!” 

In the dream, Esther Reed was shouting at her husband. I cowered in front of them. They weren’t yelling at me. Instead, they were yelling about me. I was just there in the same room. Like a table or a lamp they were arguing over. 

“The girl has a purpose,” Waylon growled at his wife. “We’ll send Selene.” 

“No you damn well won’t!” Esther shouted. “Not my sweet girl. Besides, she’s barely got any meat on her bones. That Montague boy will snap her in half. You know what Connall stole from us. What runs in that family’s blood. Ann can take it.”

In the dream, I wanted to rise and say, yes I could. I’d do anything to serve the cause. I knew the Reeds were terrible to 

but it was only to make me worthy in the eyes of the one we

served. 

After all, I had tainted, disgusting moon bitch blood in me. TL had to be beaten and burned and starved out. That’s what it 

demanded. 

All I’d wanted my entire life was to be purged so I could better 

serve. 

Maybe then, my parents would love me. 

parents would love me. Maybe then, the 

beatings would stop. 

Just then, something dark entered the room. In the dream, I was too afraid to look at it. I just knew the lights dropped and the temperature plummeted. All of a sudden, I could see my breath misting out in front of my face. 

Send the Silver One, rumbled a voice that I didn’t hear so much as feel in my mind and in my chest. 

I had rarely been in the room with the entity the Reeds called, simply, “the Messenger,” and it made me feel awful. Like I was breaking into a fever and about to throw up. But also, emotional things. Like I would never see the sun or laugh again. 

This is part of her purpose, it continued in its terrible, teeth–grinding way of speaking. This is what you have been forging her for, like weak metal purified by flame. She is our weapon, hidden in plain sight. The blood of the bitch and the

Silver flashed, taking over my vision. I screamed. For a moment, there was a terrible cold heat, like moonfire burning away everything in my veins. 

Then it faded, and so did the fear. 

I felt…cradled. Held, as if in a loving mother’s arms. A feeling I had only ever touched in dreams, like a wisp of a fragment of an ancient memory. 

A new voice whispered in my ear. It was so faint, at first it sounded like someone impossibly far away. 

Then I heard the whisper again, and realized it wasn’t far. It was close by. Right next to my ear. But so quiet that even that close, I could barely make it out. 

Aurora…mine…forget… 

The silver light faded, but I didn’t return to the dark room from the first part of the dream. Instead, I was suspended in a silver–black sky salted with million, million diamond stars. 

I inhaled a shaking breath, and even though it looked like I was suspended in space, there was air. It smelled sweet as a summer but cleared my mind like a breath of cold air on a crystal winter night. 

I stretched out my hands, tried to move. I could twist around, but I couldn’t move up or down,

If I was being honest, I wasn’t even sure which direction up or down was, with nothing around me but a vast and endless ocean 

of stars. 

“What’s happening to me?” I called. “Who are you?” 

Aurora…mine…take…back… 

The scar on my inner forearm burned. 

You dream too close to it, the new voice said, a little clearer. A little stronger. Do not go sweetly into the dark. Do not believe… 

Cursed… 

Cursed?
