Chapter Thirty-Four – She feared Karma.
Chris POV
When I returned to the palace, Ray was already with Vanessa. She had explained every of her suspicions and Ray had a doubtful look.
Jake was his friend, he better have a good excuse for him. And hadn’t he wished Delta Jonah doesn’t find his mate here?
What was wrong with that!
“Alpha, are you okay? You left the palace without the guards?” he rushed to me.
I shoved his hands away when he tried helping me to a seat. “I am okay, I’m not a baby!”
It wasn’t like I was limping or anything, just breathing heavily from my encounter with Your Silver and his warriors.
That was another problem on it’s own, one I’d like to handle personally.
Ray took his hand back and looked down keeping a distance from me.
I regretted my reaction.
“I will handle the issue with Black Rose, My King. Rest assured, Princess.” He looked from me to Vanessa.
He was being formal but whatever.
“Handle it before it gets to my father, he wouldn’t take it likely.” I informed.
“Yes, but I’d ask, will you willingly let Vanessa go to Black Rose to be with her mate?” Ray enquired with raised eyebrows.
My sister huffed. “I am a Royal Princess, why do I have to move?”
“Then do you expect a Delta to leave his pack and be with you?” Ray raised his voice a bit.
Vanessa was speechless, she glanced at me to help her out but I was interested in that answer as well.
“She can always visit Black Hills when she likes. Being with her mate shouldn’t be a problem.” I replied Ray.
Vanessa didn’t agree and folded her arms.
Ray smirked. “I’d try to communicate with Black Rose then. Do excuse me?” he bowed, and strolled away.
Vanessa glared at me.
I sat on my chair, the scent of Your Silver returning to my nose. Why did it feel familiar when I’ve never met him before?
“You want me to stay at Black Rose with a Delta?” My sister asked after minutes of glaring.
“Why does it sound like you don’t want a Delta as mate?”
I smiled, remembering three years ago how she imposed on my father to invite only Alphas or soon to be to her birthday party.
“Oh please, an Alpha or nothing had been my goal but only when I was younger, I’m matured now. I don’t just want to leave Black Hills.”
A part of me understood her fear but she wasn’t bound by any rule to remain here. “You do nothing for me here. Why can’t you leave?”
Her eyes widened and she clenched her fists. “I do nothing? Have you forgotten I’m a royal maid of yours around here? You order me about!”
“As your Alpha King and elder brother!” I reminded. “But if you’re sick of it, just go with your mate!”
“You’re unbelievable! Even if I want to, he doesn’t want me and I don’t want a marriage like yours and Sasha’s.” She grunted, looking red.
And was I supposed to be triggered if she mentioned Sasha? I felt that was her whole point. She wanted to argue, and drift to Sasha.
Also, how’d she ‘protect’ Sasha from me if she was far away.
“We are different. Sasha isn’t my mate so I can’t love her. You’re his mate and he’d learn to love you. Maybe he had a first love.”
“One that will die when I see her.” Vanessa sighed, rubbing her temples. “Do you really not mind your only sibling being at Black Rose?”
“I don’t. You’d be good there. A problem arises when you’re not.” I replied.
She pursed her lips and nodded, childishly.
I added. “If you must bother, bother about convincing mom because as Red Moon hates Black Rose, she could hate them as well.”
“I don’t care about her. She made you reject your mate and it led to her death, she will never lead me down that path.” She affirmed.
“You know you added to Rih’s death.” I had to refresh her memory. Now she was having mate-issues. Rih’s dead but her revenges are alive.
“It’d always hunt me.” My sister dead panned. I didn’t expect the reply, it felt like our argument had drifted to a heart-to-heart sibling talk.
“I am still a bitch but making someone kill them self, I still can’t believe she’d do such.” Vanessa closed her eyes tightly.
“If you want to ask forgiveness, go to her grave and do it properly. She deserved that.” I advised.
Vanessa pressed her lips together and smiled. “That apology is well overdo. Now I’m getting a mate, I need to really apologize.”
As she marched out, I chuckled. She was still selfish, only reason she ‘matured’ was because she didn’t want to face Karma.
But that would be an argument for another day.
I retired to my room to get some sleep but saw Sasha inside, stark naked. Was she being a temptation?
“Don’t ruin my already ruined mood. Did you even try to console your best friend when you heard about her mate?” I scolded.
She turned face up and shook her head. “I heard but for mates, they’d settle after being tired of refusing the mate bond.”
“Sad, we don’t have that.” I threw my worn shirt on her. “So there’s no bonding this night. I got slammed on a tree by Your Silver.”
Sasha rose from the bed in fright. Her breasts bounced as she made the movement. “Are you alright? You met with that man? Is he dead?”
“No, we just met.”
She sighed in relief. And why relief? She didn’t think I could take that man?
“I talked my father and he was so offended that Your Silver was destabilizing the peace of the pack. That’s against the prophecy.” She noted.
I turned to her, my eyes first met her succulent breasts and then her clear body, I tried to ignore it. “What was the prophecy exactly again?”
“About a silver wolf that will protect the land from an evil. So far, he’s been the evil. I feel he has plans to take over packs at this rate.”
I listened attentively to her, because my eyes were on her naked body or because I just realized Your Silver was more dangerous than I thought.
When I met him today, he acted like he knew me personally, the chase and the way his warriors kept calling me ‘it’ while knowing I was an Alpha wolf.
What gave them the guts! I never saw it like that.
“You know Sasha, you are a good Luna material. That was some good thinking there.” I sat up.
She stopped her chattering and smiled pleased. “Oh, thanks. Can I get a welcome gift?”
I raised a brow and she gestured to her body. My eyes ran over it. She was already tempting as it was. How could I say no?
