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

DANE

The moonlight was faint, filtered through the heavy canopy above him, as I walked up and down in the clearing, my boots. crunching into the fallen leaves.

Around me, the most trusted wolves stood in a circle, reflecting his determination back at him. I had left our quarters before Aurora came back from the council room. Tonight, I will free my

land.

“This is our moment,” I started off, “Orion believes they’ve cornered us, but they’ve underestimated our strength.”

I paused, my eyes scanning across the faces of my loyal warriors. Some nodded, faces set with determination, while others looked

doubtful.

“I have read all about the alphas who came before us,” I said again, my voice this time low and personal. “Legends aren’t made while sitting around. They’re forged. This is our chance to ensure the pack’s safety.

Trajan stepped forward, his brow furrowed. “Dane, are you sure this is the way? Aurora” noveldrama

“Aurora doesn’t see the bigger picture,” I interrupted, my frustration slipping through. “She wants peace, but peace

without strength is surrender.”

After a lense pause, one by one, the wolves gave their agreement. My shoulders relaxed slightly. This was the first

step.

The ambush unfolded with a precision I hadn’t dared to hope for. My group moved silently through the shadows, their movements a choreographed dance of attack and retreat.

As the rival pack emerged into the open clearing, I gave the signal.

Warriors sprang from the underbrush, snarls and yelps piercing the night. The element of surprise worked in their favor, forcing their opponents into disarray.

I leaped at the largest wolf, my claws raking across its side ast they grappled, the taste of victory sharp in my mouth as my group pushed the rival pack back.

The dust settled. The clearing was ours. There was blood on the ground, but the wolves had scattered, retreating to the trees.

I then turned to his group, still breathing hard. “You fought well. This is our land again.”

Cheers erupted, triumphant looks were exchanged, and my warriors slapped each other on the back.

But the moment of celebration was short lived.
