Chapter 11 Something feels wrong about Silvanas silver sickness , I murmured , absently stirring the healing tea Storm had brought . Storms eyes lit up with predatory interest . Now that you mention it … what terminal silver poisoned * wolf has that much strength ? She left bruises on your throat , slammed you into a wall … and her wolf form still glows with vitality . Our eyes met in sudden understanding . Could she be … My brother has connections throughout all territories . Let him investigate . Storm practically dragged me to the SilverFang Packs main den , calling out before wed even crossed the threshold : Brother ! We need your help ! Soren , the SilverFang Alpha , looked up from his territory maps , his stern expression softening when he saw me . Rayne ? What brings you here ? Storm rapidly explained everything how Thorne had used his Alpha command to force me unconscious , authorized the healers to terminate my pup without consent , and then allowed Silvana to torment me while I was weakened by silver treatments . As she spoke , Sorens claws extended , leaving deep gouges in his wooden desk . Ill have my best trackers investigate Silvana immediately , he growled . Stay here in our territory . Youll be under pack protection . The next day , Silvana and Thorne appeared at the SilverFang borders . Thorne wore new Alpha ceremonial robes Id never seen , while Silvanas gleamed with expensive oils , moonstone crystals woven into her silver streaked fur . She tossed a moon blessed scroll at my feet , her smirk visible even . Our mating ceremony will be held at the Sacred Grove . Ex Luna , wed be honored by your blessing , she practically purred the words . Theyd supposedly left their territory with nothing , yet they wore precious artifacts and planned a ceremony at the most sacred and expensive ritual site in the Northern territories . I stepped aside , letting the scroll fall into a rain puddle , watching the blessed ink run and fade . Didnt your Alpha teach you proper pack etiquette for formal invitations ? Silvanas form rippled with rage , her false weakness forgotten . Playing high and mighty ? Youre After I Let Go My Alpha , He Knelt in Regret hapter if nothing but a discarded mate , too weak to keep your Alphas interest ! You dare show such disrespect in my territory ? Soren emerged from the shadows , his Alpha presence making the air heavy . Did no one teach you how to behave in another packs lands ? Who do you think you- Silvana started forward but was immediately blocked by SilverFang warriors . Touch our Alpha , and itll be the last move you make , outsider , they roared . Silvana stumbled back , saved from falling only by Thornes steadying grip . Soren , shes ill . Wheres your compassion ? Thorne growled . Ill ? Sorens laugh was cold as winter frost . Like you showed compassion when you forced your mate to lose her pup ? Dont speak to me of pack virtues youve forgotten . You insult what you dont understand , Thorne started , but I cut him off . Better not get too familiar , Thorne . Your new mate might get jealous again . Thornes eyes flickered with something pain ? regret ? before he looked away . The ceremony is next full moon . You should come , for old times sake . Silvanas triumphant smirk returned . Yes , come see us burn those worthless old relics your grandmother left . Not that you care about a few gold tokens and some shabby embroidery … My blood turned to ice . Thorne , you accessed the moon sealed vault without me ? The ceremonial gold and jewels my grandmother had left me , along with the sacred pack tapestries shed woven by hand … When Thorne and I were newly mated , wed sealed them in a moon blessed vault that either of us could open with the right incantation . Hed stolen my inheritance to fund their mating ceremony . You took everything else in the separation . Wasnt that enough ? Thorne wouldnt meet my eyes . This was claimed by moon right , Silvana preened . Your Alpha took what was his . They left together , Silvana clinging to his arm like a victor displaying her prize .
