Chapter Thirty-Eight – What scout?
Rihanna’s POV
That was close. We had just been ambushed by more Red Moon warriors when I felt the energy of four powerful wolfs.
I wanted to shift and get ready to handle it but two of the four’s energy felt very familiar. Jonah’s and the Beta’s.
It was at that point I remembered Camilla told me the Alpha of Black Rose was paying Your Silver a visit.
It was expedient I dodge and make Dara tell a horrendous lie.
I even sent a warrior to claim I fought with ‘my second’ so the Alpha won’t think of waiting for me.
I was far away from him so he wouldn’t even catch my scent but I could see him. Like Jake, he was really handsome but with a blank face.
There was no way to tell if he bought the lie Dara gave, but it seemed he did as he didn’t ask questions regarding Your Silver.
It was quite funny how, in a bid to hide my identity, I became my second in command and the ‘female silver wolf’. I hated it.
“Should we keep it on now we have told Black Rose Alpha?” I asked Lana.
She sighed. “It was fun before but it’s beginning to be hectic. If Jonah keeps playing along, when it’s revealed, his Alpha will hate him.”
Hate was a strong word but I knew what she meant. “Fine, next time I meet that Alpha, I will be Your Silver as well as the female silver wolf.”
Lana cheered and stayed behind my head.
Dara was coming back from the ‘meeting’ but I still wanted to know what those four will be talking about.
“I will make sure our guests go home safely.” I told her in mind link. She was confused at first but then smiled.
I sped after them, keeping a safe distance.
Their horses were quite slow, so I could assume they didn’t use them much. Black Rose barely horse ride, unlike my lazy ex-pack.
As I came a bit closer, I noticed the Alpha of Black Rose stopped his horse. I went back, he was an Alpha but could he be that sharp?
I was basically three hills away, he wouldn’t see me if he turned back and they were trees. It’s not like I stepped on a twig or something.
“Is something wrong, Alpha? What’s on your mind again?” his Beta asked him.
“Nothing.” He said simply but still stayed at that point. Was he looking out for anything in particular?
I came closer again, to get a better look at him and compare he and Jake’s facial features, for the fun of it. I was bored.
“The scout.” The Alpha pronounced, getting down his horse. I froze on seeing him do that.
His eyes were changing a shade of red and I hid behind a rock, he was going to use his wolf’s vision to survey the forest.
Why was he being conscious? How could he hear my footsteps? Truly these Black Rose wolfs were wild.
It reminded me of Jake looking for me at Vanessa’s birthday while I was at Black Hills.
“What scout?” his brother asked.
“The scout is here.” The Alpha said again.
“What scout was the dude talking about?” I wondered to myself. My mind link was being battered on so I opened it. “What now?”
“The Beta of Red Moon had escaped prison. He could be on his way home.” It was Camilla.
I looked away from the Black Rose Alpha, he seemed to be looking in my direction but I was sure he couldn’t see me.
Beta Gaius dared to escape Black Hills, he’d surely not make it home. It was time for him to pay with his life.
I began heading back to my pack.
“Wait…” the Alpha said, taking steps forward.
It was beginning to creep me out. Was he telling me to wait? He couldn’t see me. I ran off still.
“Camilla, where’s Beta Gaius?”
Just then I felt an energy in the forest, few meters away from me. “Forget it girl. I got him.”
I shifted to Lana, without having anything to change to but I didn’t give a damn.
“Your Silver, make sure you kill him. I am getting reports that Chris had been the one to release him.” Camilla seethed.
It made me slow down. How dare Chris do that when he agreed to avenge Jonah? That jerk was really two-sided!
“I’m going to use that Beta to up my rank. Wish me luck!” I said with a sadistic tone and switched off my mind link.
Lana could take the wheels now. I spotted the Beta and made a jump at his neck but he was alert and missed it.
I growled angrily on seeing him.
“Your Silver? Just the man I was sent to kill!” he laughed wickedly. He had been sent to kill me?
So Chris had released him in exchange of killing me? Maybe my last encounter with him really pissed him off.
The Beta shifted to a reddish-brown wolf that was an inch taller than I was. His teeth were curved and slobbered with saliva.
“Eww. Those would surely not touch me today.” Lana seethed and charged at him, with her head. Head-butting was her signature first blow.
But it didn’t succeed, the Beta threw his sharp claws at me and tore through my fur.
I set up my imaginary boundary which threw him back. I fell back as well.
Lana groaned on her new injury but it was a new feel. It had been long I got an actual injury, these was worth the exercise.
We charged at each other commencing a cat fight. My limbs were being shredded and so was his but I knew he was losing strength.
He had ran all the way here so wouldn’t be standing for long.
I threw him back but he landed on his hind limbs. I growled, charging at him again. He had to die today, there was no escaping it for him.
As a last line of attack I scratched the bark of the tree around us and dug out the silver particles that were hidden inside them.
He was weaker and limping. I threw them at him as they had little effect on me. He shrinked down, snarling and whimpering.
It was my chance to climb at his chest, with his back down and began ripping open looking for his heart.
The silver was on his face and genitals so he was going through a considerable amount of pain.
I kept ripping till I dug my claws into his throat. His bloodshot eyes looked into mine. At that point, I shifted, wanting him to see my face.
“I am Your Silver. Real name Rihanna Silver. And I am your killer.” I pulled my claws out of his throat, making a hole there.
His neck fell down, staring at my naked body, but if that will be the last pleasant thing he saw, I’d let him.
I shifted back as it was hard moving with that body. “Lana, he’s dead, we have to get home.”
I searched my mind link again, “Camilla, come to the training ground. I am…” the words didn’t come out when I fell… unconscious.
