Chapter Forty-One – Very impressive.
Jaden’s POV
I felt my mate. She was the surely the one.
Perhaps the scout had come to check on what the guests looked like and ran back. She was faraway but with my Alpha abilities I sensed her.
But she could have sensed me too. I felt almost broken that she didn’t.
Jake knocked on my room door. I didn’t even know how to tell him the reason I’ve been throwing a tantrum recently.
But what news did he have to tell me? I was aware Beta Gaius was dead. I am stunned Your Silver would defeat a Beta while injured.
It made me have more questions to ask Jonah, but with my present temperament, I didn’t want to engage him to avoid overreacting.
Jake knocked again and opened before I replied. “Are you okay?” he asked the dreaded question.
“Yeah, I’m good.” I lied, getting off my bed. Sweat fell from my forehead to my thighs like water droplets.
“Ralph told me how you acted when Dan met you. He’s still a kid, he had reacted that way to the girl before thinking.” Jake explained.
I got a flashback on yelling at the eighteen year old for his actions towards his mate.
I was only sensitive because he had a mate yet dared treat her badly, while mine seemed to be playing painful mind games with me.
“I’m sorry, I’d tell him that.” I said to Jake.
He came closer, closing the door behind him. “Yeah, you are but why were you rash to the guards as well? Something’s up, right?”
I sighed.
“I can read you, you know? Is it Your Silver, are you wondering how to defend him in front of Chris? Chris seems really pissed.”
I nodded. “Yeah, Your Silver’s case does worry me a bit but I’d only do my best for him. Killing a Beta is too much.”
While I tried leaving the bed, my room’s door was slammed open. Jonah rushed in, holding a scroll. He looked up and froze.
“Sorry, you are awake.” He mumbled. I shook my head, brushing off the intrusion and gesturing for him to report.
“Chris just sent this. All Alphas and Betas are to meet him before the date, he got intel that Your Silver was making an appearance.” Jonah said.
His lips shook and his eyes blinked many times like he was scared of the words coming from his mouth. The words stunned me, nothing more.
“Your Silver must be crazy to show his ugly ass face in front of the Alphas! Does he want to die?” Jake screamed.
The fact that Chris already knew Your Silver was visiting meant that he wanted him to know.
It also meant he was planning something big during the meeting.
Did he want to kill everyone since he had started with Red Moon’s Beta? Was he that crazy? Wasn’t he injured? I stared at Jonah.
Jonah was frowning, putting the scroll away. “Someone needs to warn this girl. Your Silver can’t appear now.” He murmured, I heard him.
What girl? The female silver wolf? He wanted her to warn Your Silver? That meant he was closely knitted to her to want her safety.
“Jonah.” I called him before he turned away.
“Yes?” he looked up.
I asked him. “Tell me, can you meet Your Silver or the female wolf informally? It’d be nice to communicate with either of them now.”
He hesitated. “I can’t, Alpha.” He shook his head. “I will leave to prepare your horses for the journey.” He made an attempt to leave.
He froze when a growl left my lips. Jake went back. “What is it now?”
“Jonah, do you know something that I don’t know about Your Silver!” I barked.
Jake turned to him and then at me. “Jonah, do you know something?”
The young man swerved around to meet my gaze, he blinked and sighed multiple times before looking down.
“I swear, the only reason I didn’t say was that I didn’t want you to use me to hurt her.” He spoke.
My eyes squinted. Which her was he talking about now? The silver wolf? Jake folded his arms, and advanced towards him.
“You keep secrets from your Alpha because you want to protect a girl? That silver wolf? What about her?” Jake asked, sternly.
“She is Your Silver. The one and only.” He replied.
I tilted my head and Jake stared at me.
“Are you serious?” my voice was low.
He agreed with a nod.
“You’re lying. She’s…” Jake trailed off. “She is Your Silver?”
I bet he couldn’t rap his head around it, I barely could. Memories of all the chaos Your Silver had caused came to my kind.
So it was the doing of a girl, who Jake said looked like a teenager? She had the aura of my mother, it was very impressive.
“Perhaps, like Dara, her family were murdered and she became such a wild version of herself.” I said, smirking.
Jake snapped his head at me. “Are you accepting it? I think Jonah is lying.”
“I am not. I met her lots of times already. I’ve seen her using her abilities. I am yet to see her silver wolf though.” Jonah pouted, slightly.
He sounded like he was bragging about her. He should though, he was the only wolf I knew that met her as Your Silver and survived.
“You won’t survive if you do. Whenever she shifts, heads drop and nothing stays alive.” I quoted what a warrior once told me.
Jake heaved a sigh of disbelief. “I guess I should be expecting a pretty lady at Chris’s meeting today.”
“A very pretty one.” Jonah smiled.
Jake frowned at him. “No wonder you don’t want Princess Vanessa. You like Your Silver already.” He began laughing.
Jonah had a brow raised, questioningly. “I don’t. I really don’t, but she’s greatly impressive.”
His words made me smile. His cheeks were already slightly red on being accused of liking her. It was sad she wasn’t his mate.
Your Silver being the female silver wolf like I suspected wasn’t very surprising, it was just as Jonah said, impressive.
I found odd strength to leave my bed. My wolf was still howling in impression realizing that Chris will be having a stroke of his life.
I couldn’t miss his expression when he sees Your Silver is a young female. She had terrorized his life so much.
“We should leave for Black Hills now. Get Ralph. You are coming with us, Jake. Take care, Jonah.” I ordered, putting on my jacket.
The two bowed and left the room.
“I hope the scout follows Your Silver to Black Hills today, I feel like we’d be meeting our mate soon.” My wolf mumbled.
It was good to be expectant but I wouldn’t vouch on it. There was going to be enough drama.
