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

Chapter 78 AURORA Oh, goddess, I whispered in horror.

Nausea rose in my stomach.

Holden opened his eyes and looked atin shock.

Aurora ? He looked down at himself.

Fuck.

I dont remember last night, I said.

His mouth curved a little at that.

I do.

Did we ...? His eyes went serious.

Yes.

We did.

Theres always been chemistry between us.

You were ...

incredible.

If anyone says theres something in you thats dark like its a bad thing ... It felt like my world dropped out from under me.

I leapt out of bed and grabbed my clothes.

I have to go.

He was out of bed in a moment and grabbed my wrist.

His voice was a low growl when he said, Ive always wanted you, Aurora.

If you think Im going to give you up to Montague so easily after this, youre mistaken.

I wrenched free, threw my clothes on and ran for the door, then.

out.

I was too afraid to look behind me.

Chapter 78 EVELYN 2/6 My mouth dropped as I watched Aurora hurry from Holden Coleridges room in yesterdays clothes with her hair a mess.

Holden cto the door with a sheet around his waist and I barely stopped myself from gasping out loud.

Quickly, I pulled out my phone and snapped a picture .

Maybe you could only see a sliver of one side of her face, but .

with her coloring, height, and build, there was no mistaking her.

I stepped back behind the corner, so Holden didnt seeand looked down at my phone.

There it was, plain as day, proof that Aurora was a whore who was cheating on Dane.

I paused, considering that I had also cheated on Dane.

But in my defense, by the tI let Archer into my bed, Dane was refusing to sleep with me.

I was only seeing to my needs.

Aurora could have Dane in her bed hed made that clear.

He wanted to pursue her .

Have their perfect little fucking family.

Therefore, what she had done was much worse than what I had.

So what if Id also lied about whose baby was in my stomach? At least I was loyal to Blue Ridge .

At least I wasnt running around Chapter 78 trying to kill Danes grandfather and his entire family.

3/6 I smiled down at the picture again.

Aurora suspected my baby wasnt Danes.

I had no idea how, but that didnt matter anymore.

Not when I had this.

Dane would never believe another word she said.

I was going to get him back.

Why do you look like that? I jumped about a mile in the air, but it was only Archer.

He sidled up to me.

I relaxed as soon as I saw him and gave him a wide grin.

Babe, you wont believe what I just saw ! I held up the phone so he could see .

His eyes went wide, and he snatched at it.

I pulled the phone out of his reach.

What are you doing? What are you doing? he demanded.

Evie .

You are going to start a war.

You have to let Dane go.

Its over.

Its not over, I snapped.

I locked my phone and stuck it in my pocket.

And I wont let him go.

I strode away from him, heading for my room.

Unfortunately, he followed me.

Why? You know why, I said as I reached my door.

I pulled it open Chapter 78 4/6 and strode inside.

When I tried to close it, he blocked it with one of his big, stupid, muscular arms and followedin.

I know you had a terrible childhood, Archer said.

More than terrible.

But youre not a child anymore, Evie .

You have to stop letting your past control you.

Youre one of the chosen of the moon goddess.

That should mean something to you! Its something you should want to live up to .

I bared my teeth.

Do you think she would have chosenif I wasnt perfect just the way I am? But his words... they madedoubt.

One of the reasons I hated for people to point out my flaws was because I already knew.

Despite the lies I liked to tell myself, despite the act I put on, I did want to be better.

But every tI thought about how far I could fall ; fear grabbedby the throat and took control . Archer stalked away from the partially open door, grabbedby the hips, and pulledagainst him.

I melted into him, like I always did.

No matter how selfish I was, my feelings for Archer were real.

I never wouldve made it through the last few years if not for him.

If he ever left me, I would fall apart.

Evie, he whispered, hooking my hair behind my car with gentle fingers.

I was intoxicated by his closeness.

Do you love Chapter 78 me? His voice grabbed my heart and cracked it open he content is on Nhe novelenglish.net! Of course, I do.

I wrapped my arms around his neck and laid my head against his chest.

More than anything.

5/6 I heard the lie in my own voice.

I loved him more than anything... except myself.

And I hated that.

I hated that I couldnt give up the parts be the myself I despised and truly be the I woman he he deserved. He rockedgently back and forth, and I closed my eyes.

For the first time, I tried to talk myself out of needing Dane.

Of needing a billionaire Alpha when I was a rich woman my own and a perfectly good man was right here.

Oh, dear, squeaked a womans quiet voice.

Am I interrupting? My eyes flew open.

The fucking door.

Wed forgotten to close it all the way.

Mrs.

Jamison the twins nanny stood there, gaping at us Fuck! Archer jumped back.

Mrs.

Jamison- I set my jaw and held up a hand to silence him.

Dont worry, Archer.

Ill handle this.
