Chapter 7 The next morning , while Storm went to fetch moon blessed water , Silvana entered my room . She wore the hospitals white robes , her silver streaked hair elegantly bound , looking far too vibrant for a wolf supposedly dying from silver sickness Luna , she called me mockingly , the title a deliberate provocation . If I hadnt joined the pack so late , the Alpha would never have chosen you , she taunted . Youre just a weak blooded wolf . What could you possibly offer an Alpha besides your familys territory ? Her lips curved into a cruel smile . Do you know where your mate spends his nights while you lie here alone ? His wolf seeks mine . No wonder my once devoted mate , who would abandon any hunt to run by my side , now returned to our den only in the deepest hours of night . Suddenly , Silvana lunged , her claws wrapping around my throat . Why were you blessed with such fortune ? Born into a strong bloodline , mated to the Alpha I deserved ? Her grip tightened , rage making her stronger . If not for you … if not for you … Weakened by silver and loss , I couldnt match her strength . My claws scrambled for anything to defend myself , finding a crystal vase . The sharp scent of my fear must have carried through the pack bonds I sensed Thornes Alpha presence a split second before he burst through the door , drawn by either my distress or Silvanas scent . Stop ! His Alpha command thundered through the room , the power in his voice freezing my arm mid strike . The crystal vase trembled in my grip , his command forcing my muscles to lock in place . He crossed the room in two swift strides , but instead of coming to his mates aid , he pulled Silvana into his embrace . My wolf howled in betrayal as I watched him nuzzle her hair soothingly , his protective growl meant for her comfort , not mine . The bitter irony wasnt lost on me hed used his Alpha command to stop me from defending myself , only to comfort my attacker , Peace , little wolf . Im here , he murmured into Silvanas hair , while I struggled to catch my breath , my throat burning from her attack . The pack bonds between us vibrated with tension and pain . Shes dying from silver sickness , Thorne growled , disappointment heavy in his voice as he turned those Alpha gold eyes on me . Wheres your pack compassion ? You were never this cruel before . Istared at my mate in disbelief , feeling our bond stretch thinner with each passing moment . Silvana ared After 11 et Go My: Aloha He Dieh in Regret bad attacked me , tried to rip out my throat , yet I was the one lacking compassion ? Je left with Silvana in his arms , her victorious smirk visible over his shoulder . My wolf whimpered at the sight our Alpha , our mate , carrying away the one whod just tried to kill us . An old pack saying echoed in my mind : When an Alphas heart turns from his Luna , her every howl becomes a challenge .
