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

Chapter 174 DANE The chains dug into my wrists, burning like fire.

The Namelesss magic pulsed through them, shadows coiling tighter aroundwith every passing moment .

I could feel his fury before I heard his voice, thick in the air like a storm about to break.

You think this is a game? His voice reverberated through the cavern, low and deadly.

I didnt respond.

My head hung low, sweat dripping from my forehead.

My body ached from struggling against the chains but I didnt stop testing them.

If there was even a sliver of weakness, Id find it.

You defy me, the Nameless continued, his form materializing in front of me.

Golden eyes blazed from a swirling mass of shadows, and his voice cut like a blade.

You think you can sabotageand I wont notice? 2/7 Chapter 174 I think, I said through gritted teeth, That youre afraid.

Thats why youre here, trying to makeshake because you know Ill never stop.

The shadows surged, slamming into my chest like a tidal wave.

Pain ripped through me, forcing a strangled sound from my throat.

You dare speak toof fear? The Nameless loomed closer, his towering form blocking out the little light there was in the cavern.

I am fear incarnate, Dane .

You exist because I allow it.

I forced myself to meet his gaze, even as agony radiated through my body.

You dont allow anything.

You manipulate, you destroy, but you dont create.

Thats why youll never win.

His laugh was cold, a sound that echoed off the stone walls like thunder.

You amuse me, young werewolf.

But amusement only lasts so long.

Your defiance has cost you, and now it will cost her.

My breath caught.

HER? He waved a hand, and the darkness shifted, forming a window of smoke and light.

Aurora .

3/7 Chapter 174 The image was as clear as if I were standing in the war room beside her.

She was bent over a map, her lilac eyes sharp with focus.

Her lips moved as she issued orders, and the werewolves around her nodded in grim determination.

She fights so hard, the Nameless said, his voice dripping with mockery.

But she doesnt understand.

No matter how clever she thinks she is, she cant outmaneuver me.

I see everything.

Every step she takes, every breath she draws, it all leads to one inevitable conclusion.

I pulled against the chains, fury surging through me.

Leave her out of this.

Out of this? He turned to me, shadows swirling like a storm around his form.

You dont understand, Dane.

She is this.

Everything revolves around her.

Around you.

The more you resist, the worse it will be for her.

This assault is your doing.

Youre the one waging war, I spat, my voice raw with anger.

Youre the one who ..

Enough! His voice was a whip crack, silencinginstantly.

You forced my hand.

And now, you will bear witness to the consequences.

Chapter 174 The image shifted, showing Broken Ridges defenses .

4/7 The Pack Warriors lined the perimeters, their eyes scanning the horizon.

Witches stood among them, their hands glowing with spells ready to be unleashed .

They think theyre ready, the Nameless sneered .

But they have no idea whats coming.

My heart pounded as I watched the scene unfold.

The shadows on the edges of the image grew darker and deeper.

Figures emerged, creatures twisted and monstrous, with glowing eyes and claws that dripped with malice.

The Namelesss army.

Shell fight, he said, almost happily.

And shell lose.

And you will watch as everything you love burns to ash.

The shadows aroundtightened, driving the breath from my lungs.

Shell stop you, I choked out, my voice barely audible.

His laughter was cruel.

Oh, Dane.

She doesnt even know what shes up against.

But dont worry, youll have a front row seat.

He waved a hand, and the image dissolved into smoke.

Then he turned back to me, his golden eyes blazing.

You think youve been clever, sabotaging me.

But I see everything.

Every 577 Chapter 174 lie, every betrayal.

The shadows surged again, wrapping around my throat.

I made you, he hissed.

I can unmake you just as easily.

Remember that the next tyou think of crossing me.

The pressure around my throat eased, and I gasped for air.

Enjoy your chains, he said, his form dissolving into darkness.

Youll wear them until the end.

As the cavern fell silent, I slumped forward, every muscle in my body screaming in pain.

But I wasnt done.

I closed my eyes, reaching for the faint bond that still tiedto Aurora.

It was fragile, a whisper against the roar of the shadows, but it was there. Aurora, I thought, pouring every ounce of my will into the connection.

Stay strong.

Dont let him break you.

The bond pulsed faintly, a flicker of warmth in the darkness.

I had to do something.

Anything.

The chains burned against my skin as I tried to break them again pulling with all the strength I had left. Pain shot through me, but I didnt stop.

Chapter 174 I couldnt stop.

Aurora needed time, tto prepare, to fight, to survive.

And if I could give her that, even at the cost of my freedom, I would.

The shadows aroundbegan to shift, growing denser, and darker.

And then, out of the corner of my vision, I saw it.

A crack in the stone wall, where my chains were held.

Small, almost negligible, but there.

Hope flared in my chest.

I focused all my energy on my bond with Aurora, drawing strength from it as. I began to pull against the chains. again, trying to tug it out of the wall. The shadows resisted, tightening their grip, but I pushed through the pain.

The crack widened, light spilling through it.

But then, a voice echoed through the cavern, cold and deadly.

Youll never escape, Dane.

As soon as it was gone, I tested the chains again.

They didnt budge.

But I wont stop.

My thoughts were a whirlwind of desperation and determination.

Chapter 174 Aurora needed tto find the relics true purpose.

7/7 I closed my eyes, focusing on the faint bond that still tiedtan Aurora Ngetting ready to snap the chains with all my might once more. It was fragile, barely there, but enough.

Stay strong, Aurora, I thought.

Ill find a way.

Then darkness surged, consuming everything.

And the world went dark.
