Chapter Forty – Regret and Guilt.
Rihanna’s POV
I felt power surge through my bones. An incredible amount of power. Beta Gaius was a good kill.
Camilla knocked on the door twice signifying that all the warriors were asleep. I didn’t need her to remind me though.
Since I woke from consciousness, I could feel every wolf around me by their unique energy.
And another perk of a silver wolf got unlocked, cos my eyes were white when I awoke and Lana was in full control. Like it was her god mode.
“Ray found us.” She whispered to me. My eyes opened, they had been shut since as I was focusing on fully recovering.
“What do you mean?” I wouldn’t know if he did. All I knew was Camilla brought me back to the pack. Had my brother seen me? How?
“He was chasing after Beta Gaius with a warrior. You know her, Cara. That girl you don’t like.” She snickered.
Fond memories filtered into my head. Caramel. She was the lead warrior’s daughter and had a crush on Ray for the longest time.
I didn’t like that she always tried to hang out with Ray in every slightest opportunity. She was a good girl nevertheless.
“Ray’s wolf realized she was his mate when he met you.” Lana added, making my lips part.
“Rih, do you know you and Ray twin telepathy is…” she trailed off.
“Is stronger than we think?” I asked.
“No, all these years, Ray couldn’t realize Cara was his mate because he was away from you. The twin telepathy, we hurt Ray for long.”
I sat up, trying to let her words sink. What exactly was she heading at? Ray couldn’t realize Cara was his mate because of me?
If I’d remember, she wasn’t at our birthday party as she visited her mother at another pack. What happened afterwards, I knew nothing about.
“The year we realized Chris was our mate, our twin was besides us. Ray never realized his mate because we left.” Lana’s voice was teary.
I blinked multiple times. Ray and I needed to be together to realize our mates? That’s shit! But it seemed true.
Our wolfs had a mindlink and telepathy of their own, like they were one. If Ray and I hadn’t been of different genders, perhaps we’d get one mate.
A sense of guilt and regret washed over me. Because I left, my twin brother couldn’t recognize his mate for years.
I wonder how he felt when he knew. I wonder how Cara felt. Ray must have denied it when she had discovered. It’d have felt like he rejected her.
“He let us go. And Cara, she knows our secret now. Chris will be after Your Silver as we killed Beta Gaius. At least, I saw Ray.” Lana sniffed.
But I didn’t. That wasn’t the case now. I forced myself to stand, tears stinging in my eyes.
“This also means we can’t find a second chance mate without Ray.” I chuckled. That was a relief anyway, I didn’t want one.
Lana didn’t really agree with me on that, but she didn’t revolt. “Let’s keep the girls safe. And stay away from Boots and Rivers market.”
I nodded, Chris will have a meeting against me. Perhaps he’d agree with Red Moon to trade the Lycan with me. Or release the Lycan to kill me.
“I have to train and get used to these new found energy Beta Gaius gifted me.” I smirked. Till then, Your Silver will be on hiatus.
I moved close to the door, the whispers from Dara and Camilla where audible to me even if I knew they were far away.
These Beta perks were cool.
“What scout was the Alpha speaking of then? Greta or who?” Camilla asked Dara.
I remembered the Alpha of Black Rose calling on a scout, I listened closer.
“I don’t know.” Dara replied with a sigh. “Your Silver is usually the one who scouts. It was Greta’s first time that day.”
“Yeah, and Your Silver had shown her how to do it yet she got caught by the Alpha. That girl is unbelievable.” Camilla sighed.
I pursed my lips. The scout the Alpha was calling on was Greta? Why?
She had only scouted after I returned. I made sure the Alpha and his Beta left by then.
“Dara? Camila?” I called for the two, while opening the door. They rushed to me.
“Are you feeling better? We didn’t hide Beta Gaius body, it was found by your brother.” Dara said, with a tensed tone.
I nodded, showing I was well aware. She looked surprised but then it faded off. “He said to hide you and not worry about it.”
A smile came to my face. “Of course, did you think he’d rat his sister out to the man that hurt her before?”
They both nodded, knowingly.
“It had been half a day since I laid unconscious. Tell me what Chris is planning to do to punish me.” I rested on the wall.
I didn’t know how I could tell how long I was unconscious but these infinite understanding of my surrounding made me excited.
“Nothing much. He called an exclusive meeting of all the Alphas and Betas. I feel he left Deltas because of Jonah and Vanessa.” Dara sneered.
So he was affected by that awkward mate pair? I was as well, Jonah really deserved better.
“Tell the girls, we should be careful. No one is to wear the Your Silver uniform.” I ordered.
Camilla nodded. “I will tell all the spies to lie low as well. Chris is being careful.” I nodded at her.
“What Chris wants to tell the Alphas won’t be to your gain. The Black Rose Alpha could put in good words for you.” Dara pointed out.
Even if he doesn’t, it won’t stop me from going on with whatever course of action that pleased me. I was even getting a ridiculous idea.
“All Alphas and Betas will be at Black Hills. Can’t we easily break the Lycan out from Red Moon?” I asked the two girls.
Dara gave me a done look, scanning through my body that still had cuts and bruises and was yet to heal. She shouldn’t mind that, they will.
“No. The Lycan will be sent to Chris. He might be accepting that trade.” Camilla added.
I sighed in dismay. There was no other action I could partake in to train myself.
“What about appearing before all the Alphas and Betas and causing a tantrum?” I asked absentmindedly.
There was no reply. Were they buying it?
“I was wondering, if Chris really wanted Your Silver to stop raiding packs, all he had to do is accept us as a pack under his.”
That idea had been in Dara’s mind since I first met her.
I didn’t want to be under Chris, but the only other Kingdom pack we could swear allegiance too were many seas away.
Also, I didn’t want to always be a rogue. I wanted a pack of my own, and an acknowledged pack. “I hate to say this, but you have a point.”
“So will we be storming this exclusive meeting?” Camilla’s eyes were hopeful. She always liked action.
“Yeah, we may be paying a visit.” I shrugged.
Author’s note: Curious to know if Your Silver will really show herself? Want to know Chris’s reaction when his nemesis happens to be the mate he had rejected?
