Fate's Dark Side Chapter 484

"Aurora," She said, and Black howled to pay his respect.

Though smaller than me, she walked to us and squatted with her head bowed.

She was acknowledging me as her alpha and not her mate.

I guess the rejection got to Aurora because she knew Black could not feel their bond anymore.

Black howled for her to get up. He rubbed his fur against her to encourage her. She did as he said.

"He is Black," I linked her.

"Alpha Black," Amelia said, paying her respect and just then, I believed Amelia was also being careful with me.

Unlike our human selves, our wolves were bad pretenders, and I could see now that she was thinking more than she was letting out. Hopefully, she would open up one day. I dashed into the woods, and she followed behind.

I felt free at that moment, rushing through the woods. It was as if something had been lifted. I felt Aurora behind me, and she reminded me of Kaira. The memory was pleasant.

We spent a while in the woods, and I noticed Aurora hadn't seen much of the wild.

I also realised that Amelia rarely shifted, which would explain her wolf's naivety to the forest. It must have been hard for both of them.

"They are with us now. We will take care of them," Black said confidently, and I did not respond; I let him own his promise.

It wasn't long before we were in the forest when an arrow pierced my side.

It was silver because I shifted back to my human form immediately. What the fuck was happening in my woods?

Aurora moved close to me, and I tried to shoo her away with my hand to protect her. I wanted her to get away so she did not get hit, but she grabbed the arrow with her jaws and pulled it out.

Then, she took a protective stance in front of me and growled in the direction the arrow came from.

I touched the wound that hadn't healed yet and saw my blood was black. It meant the arrow was dipped in silver dust.

I needed medical care, and there was no way I could get it. With silver in my system, I could not link anyone.

Two men approached us, and one held a silver chain with gloves. They were there to capture one of us.

Aurora lunged at the one with the chain like a wild beast.

She wounded the guy by biting off a chunk of the flesh of his thigh. He immediately let go of the silver chain, but Aurora had plans for the guy. The other one got scared and ran away.

Aurora did not give the guy that was down a chance. She focused on him. Aurora held the chain in her mouth and wound it around the man's neck.

I was amazed that the silver did not affect or force her to shift.

I began to doubt it was silver until I heard the sizzling sound of searing flesh coming from the man's neck.

She was going to burn his neck and kill him. Aurora stepped away from the man who was screaming for dear life before he passed out. I could tell he was still alive.

Wolves came running towards us. I guess Aurora must have linked my men. Gabriel was in front, then Casper and the other men.

Aurora had left the silver by then, so they did not see her hold it in her mouth. I guess she wouldn't have let me see her handle silver had it not been life-threatening.

Gabriel shifted and removed the silver from the attacker's neck, and Aurora wasn't pleased because she was growling.

As much as I wanted her to shift back to Amelia, I let her remain in wolf form. I knew my men were in awe of her wolf. I could see it from how they stared at her, but she was mine.

They carried me to the infirmary.
