Chapter Thirty-Five – Owe him one.
Jaden’s POV
It had been on my mind. The wolf I met, was she my mate? My wolf was very calm while at the forest but when I left, he had a longing.
Beta Ralph walked into my room, with a scroll, reading through it. “Um… the prophecy says the silver wolf will protect us from an evil.”
He looked at me and back at the scroll. “That’s all really.” He folded the scroll. “Why are you interested in it suddenly?”
I wasn’t sure. The reason why Your Silver needed to be alive was because he was thought to be the silver wolf.
If there was another young female silver wolf, then he need not be alive. He had messed with lots of packs and deserved to be punished.
Ralph tapped me, peering into my eyes. “Could you share your thoughts, Alpha?”
I smiled. Usually, I was always reminded to share what I thought because my wolf was my only thinking bud then.
I cleared my throat, sitting up from the couch. “There’s another silver wolf, I think Your Silver should be captured. He’s a bad influence.”
Ralph went back. Didn’t he agree?
His brother-in-law had already reported that his mate didn’t want to leave Your Silver because she was loyal to him.
Your Silver had those little girls in his palm, telling them it was a revenge when he was only venting, basically he was making use of them.
“Your Silver gathered wolfs, filled with pain and vengeance. They became a formidable force. If they’re loyal, then they think he’s right.” He said.
I raised a brow at him. “Right? Well, they think he’s right but he isn’t…”
“If Your Silver isn’t a pained wolf like them, there’s no way he will be able to manage them. He must have shared a similar goal with them.”
I was getting where Ralph was coming from but he was also the emphatic one. “Which is? Apart from causing trouble, he has no goal.”
“I understand he is annoying by kidnapping our hunters and warriors but we cut him slack for saving slaves as well.” My Beta shrugged.
I exhaled. That may be the only selfless thing You Silver had done. He was selfish all through, he wouldn’t fight for another person.
My lead warrior ran into my court room at that point, Ralph and I shot our heads up. “What is it now?”
“Sir Jake and Delta Jonah are back. But few minutes after they arrived, a royal order from Alpha King Chris ordered them to return!”
I slowly stood up. Chris was ordering them to return? After spending more than a day there? He had to be joking.
“Call them in now!” Ralph commanded. The guard bowed and ran out.
“Chris is daring! Did he want them to stay there forever!” my wolf screamed in my head, I agreed with him… but outside, I was calm.
Jake and Jonah walked into the court room.
I scrutinized their body and didn’t notice any struggle, then they hadn’t fought with anyone.
“You won’t believe all the things that happened to Jonah these past two days. It was a total rollercoaster of emotions!” Jake declared.
I looked at my Delta concerned. Ralph frowned. “But he seems happy.” He had the psychic look, like he was reading Jonah.
“That’s because the last event was a good one. Who wouldn’t be happy to escape death.” Jake chuckled.
Death? Escape death? Who tried to kill him again? He came before me and bowed. “How’ve you been, Alpha?” he was all smiles.
Indeed he was happy. “What was the reaction of Chris when you bright Red Moon crimes?”
“Beta Gaius was there, trying to trade a Lycan they caught with Your Silver. He was put in prison when his crimes were found.” He replied.
There was silence between Ralph and I as we heard of a Lycan.
Was it a real Lycan? Such still existed? Red Moon were really desperate to attempt such ridiculous trade.
“It seems Chris didn’t agree to trade Your Silver then, right?” Ralph asked.
Jake nodded. “It was ridiculous. Who wants a Lycan trouble? Also, Ray was very sensitive about it, he supports Your Silver, you know?*
Another problem I had with Ray, he didn’t really care about governments as long as the people were satisfied.
I still wonder how he was loyal to Chris, if it was a hoax, but he seemed happy where he was. Death of a loved one did a lot to a person.
“Fine, Red Moon is on check. Then why’s Chris asking for you two to return to Black Hills?” I asked Jonah.
“My mate turned out to be his sister, Princess Vanessa. I am not interested.” He deadpanned.
Ralph snapped his head at me and then at Jonah, he pointed. “Are you crazy! Why aren’t you interested?”
My lips parted but I didn’t know the words to tell him. He looked resolved and rolled his eyes at Ralph’s remark. “I am not interested in a bitch.”
My younger brother was at the corner, laughing and shaking his head.
It must’ve been fun for him when Jonah recognized Vanessa as mate.
“Did you reject her?” I ran my hands through my hair, expecting the worst reply but my hands fell from my hair when he replied negatively.
“I didn’t but I fear I had really upset the King, he had chased after us himself.” He looked down.
Ralph threw the scroll he had on him, advancing to hit him but I held him back. Jake pushed Jonah behind him to save him.
“Ralph, calm down. Do you blame him for his reply with Princess Vanessa? Remember she caused Beta Rih’s death.” Jake reminded.
I let go of Ralph when he was chill, he was still glaring at Jonah who’s looking down.
“If he rejects Vanessa, the King won’t forgive Black Rose. Rih is dead, she has nothing to do with this. She was rejected by her mate…”
“Then let Vanessa see the same.” Jake interjected. “Last I remember, it was you who asked my mother to support Rih as Beta.”
Ralph sighed, tempering down. “Yes, she had what it took. She was a special Beta wolf but she died, sadly. It doesn’t mean Jonah will…”
“I don’t like Vanessa anyway, and she would want me to move to Black Hills as she was a princess!” Jonah shouted.
My wolf came to the surface, pissed by that realization. “Jonah, you won’t leave Black Rose, you rather reject that woman!”
Ralph frowned, turning to me. He looked down when he saw my eyes red. Jonah made a small nod, still not pleased.
“Also, Red Moon attempted killing me again. Bad things just keeps happening to me.” He mumbled.
Jake nodded. “It was Your Silver who had helped him tackle the warriors. Jonah said Your Silver might have gotten injured too.”
Your Silver had helped him? That was another selfless thing he had done.
“Are you sure the wolf was Your Silver or that female silver wolf?” I asked to be sure. The female wolf might be the selfless one.
Jonah’s eyes widened, “You know the silver wolf is female?”
“Yes, they are two. One is male and the other is female.”
He looked confused but then sighed. “No, it’s Your Silver who helped me. None of Red Moon’s warriors survived it.”
Ralph smiled, facing me. “I guess we owe Your Silver one. He protected our Delta from being hurt by Red Moon, the second time.”
I remembered the wolf that had zoomed past me at that forest. Should I pay Your Silver a visit? I needed to see that warrior of his and be sure.
“Yes, we owe Your Silver one. I think it’s time we see him. And maybe thank him?” I suggested.
Jake shrugged and Ralph looked unsure. Jonah was the only one who had a humorous look.
