Blood And Silver:Rise of the Alpha’s Rejected Mate

Chapter 229 AURORA What kind of ritual? Her smile was unclear.

Something we will have to prepare for .

I will tell you in due .

course.

By the tthe sun had begun to set and was casting a golden glow over the site of the ceremony, everyone was present to rehearse the wedding.

It was energetic, the air was thick with it but a great deal of order wasnt going around.

Puppies ran between rows of chairs; their giggles sliced through sounds of conversation.

One brave little wolf launched in a pile of flower petals, sending them sailing across the clearing.

Piper groaned above the noise.

In the nof the Moon Goddess, would someone handle these puppies ? she called out, looking at Warrick, who was leaning against the flower arrangements, doing absolutely nothing.

Chapter 229 2/9 Theyre kids, Piper.

Let them have sfun, Warrick returned with a sluggish smile as he fixed a flower that had slipped from its hook.

Theyre ruining everything! she snapped, hips cocked.

Theyre making it unforgettable, Warrick returned, his smile expanding.

Dane stepped forward then, playing peacemaker.

How about I take care of the pups ? he suggested, but just as he took one step forward his boot caught on a misplaced log.

He was falling, arms turning like a windmill and then he fell unceremoniously into a stack of chairs.

A wave of laughter spread through the group, and even Piper cracked a smile.

If this is the real wedding, no ones ever going to let anyone hear the end of it, I said, shaking my head as I helped Dane to his feet.

He dusted himself off decidedly more amused than embarrassed.

Im just testing the strength of our setup.

You know, quality control? Piper snickered.

Uh Huh, Alpha.

Finally, we concluded with a rehearsal full of mess and added.

moments of weird and minor arguing.

Chapter 229 3/9 The space slowly cleared, and there was Piper, moving close to the flowers.

Warrick cup towards her, slow, cautious; the weight was on him.

Hey, he said, the word uncommonly low.

Hey, Piper responded, not looking his way.

I sat in a corner as I watched them keenly.

So far all the battles we have fought have madeso attentive.

An uneasy silence fell amongst them, disturbed by nothing but a faint rustle of leaves somewhere far.

Piper let out a sudden breath, squaring her shoulders.

I overheard you talking to Trajan.

Warrick froze, his brow furrowed.

You ... did? She nodded, finally looking up at him.

Why do you think youre not good enough for me? For a moment, Warrick didnt answer.

His hand reached up lo rub the back of his neck, a nervous gesture that made him look almost boyish.

Its not that I dont care about you, he said finally, his voice low but steady.

I do.

More than I probably should.

Then whats the problem? Piper asked, frustration slipping into vulnerability I dont want this to feel ... forced, Warrick admitted.

What if Chapter 229 its just a relic? What if were not really us? 4/9 The lines around Pipers face gentled as her anger gave way to comprehension.

You think I havent wondered the sthing? But the relic didnt makefeel this way, it just magnified what was already there.

Warricks eyes searched hers for something.

You really believe that? I do, she said, sure of her voice.

And I believe that you do too, in your heart.

A slow smile widened on Warricks face and for the very first time, Piper smiled back at him.

Lets get this done with, Warrick said and she nodded at him.

as they went back to work.

I smiled to myself.

It felt nice seeing this spark between them.

I walked into the pack house and just when I was about to cross a passage, I noticed something with the corner of my eyes.

I retraced my steps a bit and there he was, Trajan, standing in front of Joclyns quarters, a small carving in his hand.

** TRAJAN *** I took a deep breath before 1 knocked on Joclyns door, I tightened my grip on the wolf carving in my hand, my knuckles Chapter 229 nearly turned white.

I stepped back a bit as my heart raced.

Why am I feeling this way? This feeling is strange.

5/9 I dont feel too comfortable around her and when Im away from her I feel even worse... what the fuck do I want? I licked my bottom lip as I mustered the courage and knocked once again.

I heard the door unlocking and I knew she was coming, I felt like I should disappear, but at the stI was dying to see her face.

The door flung open, Joclyn stepped out with one of her brows raised upon seeing me, You? I gulped as I noticed her perfectly cut out dentition.

Her perfectly arched brow crowning her large hazel eyes.

I lowered my gaze as I watched her pinkish full lips moving, but I could barely hear what she was saying.

How would anyone call her an Elder ... I know she is a bit older than... she was probably a teenager of ten when I was born.

But, age is just a number right? My heart longs for this woman.

I stepped up to her, as if being close to her would satisfy the urge building inside of me.

She arched her brows as she blinked at me.

Chapter 229 6/9 Trajan ? she called as she placed her hands on my chest.

As if to stopfrom entering her room.

I froze as I cto my senses.

I felt my skin burning under her touch.

I stepped away.

Elder ... I mean, Joclyn ... I said and completely went mute as I gawked at her.

I am a fool.

What happened ...

you are here at this hour, is Aurora fine? Jocyln asked, worry etched in her tone.

I shook my head as I raised the carving to her.

She... Everything is fine... I came, erm... to give you this, I stuttered.

I cussed under my breath as I realized how silly I was.

She took it fromas she looked at the carving of a wolf, howling, her expression serious.

I gulped.

Doesnt she like it? Oh my... I love it, she breathed as she raised her gaze and smiled at me, Thank you, Trajan I smiled as the knot in my chest loosened, Im glad you do, Joclyn.

But, why... she asked, as she squinted at me, her eyes not breaking from mine.

I cleared my throat as I shook my head, Nothing ... I mean, you are a beautiful lady, you deserve all the good things in the ... my Chapter 229 voice trailed off as she raised a brow at me.

What am I saying? I meant to say.....

you are good ... you do so much for the pack and thats why I thought to give this to you.

She blinked at me, and nodded, Thats much better but I really arm tired now. Ogood night Trajan. 7/9 Good... I said, but she entered inside and shut the door before I said, Night.

I took a deep breath.

That went well ... a bit, I brushed my hand over my hair as I turned to leave.

*** AURORA *** I quickly ducked behind a door, as he turned and started to cmy way.

I dont want him to know that I was watching them.

He would feel so embarrassed.

I cout as he passed and slipped away towards my room.

I reached my room and took a deep breath before I entered.

The room was dark, but it felt like I had scompany.

I walked in and sniffed, but I couldnt seem to know who was here.

I reached for the light switch and I turned it on.

I looked around, but couldnt see anyone inside with me.

I sighed and closed the door.

Chapter 229 8/9 I think I am just too paranoid these days.

All is well, now ... I should at least let by my guard down and enjoy thesem moments a little bit more... with Dane. I smiled as I recalled what happened by the lake carlier.

Naughty boy, I shook my head as I unzipped my dress and let it fall down my body.

I stepped out of my dress with just my red panties on as I walked into the bathroom.

I slipped my panties down my leg, and I turned on the shower, the cold water seemed to sizzle on my hot skin, but I knew that was my imagination. I am not that hot, only that I felt kinda horny.

Dane had lit a fire inby the lake, it took everything into stop him then.

I grabbed my boobs and squeezed as I blew out swater from my mouth.

I reached down and touched my pussy as I rubbed at it and pinched my clit. Ahh... Dane... I moaned as I rolled my head back.

I can help you feel better.

I froze as I heard the deep voice behind me.

I was not paranoid.

Someone was really in here.

I opened my eyes as I jumped back in shock.
