Chapter Forty-Three – Exciting Drama.
Jaden’s POV
The King’s eyes dilated and he looked for the words to reply with. “What did that have to do with Your Silver?”
Ralph nodded and stared at Ray like he’s trying to read him. We all stared at Ray, expecting what Your Silver had to do with his sister.
“Did any of you know Rihanna was a silver wolf?” Ray pointed at each of us.
“Did you? And since you kill her, do you want to kill another?” Ray pointed at Chris.
My mouth fell. His sister was a silver wolf? My head snapped to Chris, who rose from his seat.
“Rihanna was a silver wolf?” he raised his voice, his breathing became uneven. “My mate was a silver wolf?” he asked that part to himself.
“Should I be warning you about killing silver wolfs when your grandmother was one?” He slapped his hands together.
“Your grandfather stopped the killing of silver wolfs and here you are, trying to start it again!” Ray was fuming.
“Well, not with my permission!” he finalized, and sat down calmly.
Jake and I exhaled at the same time, eyes still on Ray, trying to soak in his words. A lot of shockers were coming to me this day.
Some impressive, some really disappointing.
Rihanna Sam had been a silver wolf? Chris had the blood of a silver wolf in his hands?
“No wonder Your Silver torments you.” I spoke, breaking the already ten seconds silence.
Chris turned to me, with a blank stare. “What?”
“Your Silver torments you because the blood of a silver wolf is in your hands. Silver wolfs are truly the moon goddess in wolf form.” I added.
I know it wasn’t helping but it needed to be said.
Ralph steadily nodded, having his psychic face. I don’t know what he was trying to read from an already clear scenario but he had my blessings.
“It’d always hunt me.” Chris replied. “I think we should settle on hearing Your Silver out. It won’t be with my hand that anything happens to him.”
Ray huffed. “If you give the command, as Alpha King, those other Alphas will have to obey.”
It was weird hearing him speak calmly after fuming few minutes ago.
“We’d all agree to let Your Silver be. He’s an incarnate of the Moon goddess, his works could be of stability to us werewolves.” I supported.
So it was decided to let the silver wolf be. That girl was getting away with everything, courtesy of Rih. Silvers do help each other, alive or dead.
About thirty minutes later all the Alphas and Betas of the remaining three packs strolled in. The Alpha of Red Moon came alone.
“Hello, Alpha Jaden.” He mumbled to me and went to the Alpha King immediately.
I bet he was expecting a pity party from the King but Chris spared him no eye contact.
The course of the meeting will change and the other Alphas wouldn’t be expecting it. And I was here for that.
As everyone was seated, a whiff of honey and cinnamon came to my nose. My wolf came to the surface and purred.
The scout was here, so Your Silver was close. The drama was about to start.
They could have waited for Chris to announce that Your Silver be let to live.
If she came now, they’d be a lot of commotion. I was yet to know what she really wanted. My heartbeat was fast, waiting for the excitement.
Suddenly the young maid, I had suspected to be Your Silver’s spy, rushed into the courtroom panting. “Beta Ray, please we need your help.”
Everyone turned to her, questioningly for her rude intrusion but she didn’t mind. Ray stood up slowly. “And why?”
“It’s urgent, sir. Please come, the warriors are nearly killing themselves.” She ran out again after that.
Ray sighed, rubbing his temples. He faced us. “I’m sorry, I’d go handle this.” He stomped off.
I don’t understand. Was this some sort of diversion or Ray would really be missing out of the drama?
The whiff of cinnamon and honey came again, this time stronger. Some of the guards began screaming from outside, making everyone turn.
“Alpha! Alpha! Princess Vanessa…!” a knife was thrown into the chest of the guard that ran in. All the Alphas stood up alert.
“Vanessa?” Chris left his throne.
This was a bit troublesome. Could Your Silver really handle what she was serving?
There were subtle footsteps, of a woman’s heels. My wolf was agitated, muttering mate. A knife was thrown towards Chris but he caught it.
Red Moon Alpha frowned, and stood at an attack stance. “It’s a rogue. I smell a rogue.”
I smelled my mate. Why would a scout be taking the head front in this confrontation? Your Silver should be, not her.
“Hello, Alpha King!” a feminine voice, appeared behind the door, flipping her long black hair around. My wolf howled inside. “Mate? Mate!!”
As she walked in, a sense of weakness rushed into the room and the Blue Bloom Alpha fell on one knee. “Silver!”
That’s when we saw it, on her hair were particles of Silver. As she flipped it, it spread and infected the air, choking on all who breathe it in.
She was tall for a ‘teenager’ and had pretty dark eyes with a nice figure. She was a grown lady. what did Jake mean by a ‘little girl’?
The silver on her head didn’t seem to bother her. And my wolf called her mate?
“Your Silver! You are your Silver!” Jake cheered, then looked down when everyone turned to him.
“With a petition!” she rose her hand and many girls in uniforms ran in, their nose covered with a mask. They held buckets of silver.
Another wave of weakness flushed in.
I found the strength to sit down without falling on my knees. My mate turned out to be Your Silver? What was this?
“I can’t believe this.” Chris sighed, breaking his silence after few minutes. He’d been staring in bewilderment at Your Silver, like he knew her.
All the Alphas and Betas were on their knees, they looked up at him. He was still standing strong.
He had a hurt expression. What was he hurt about? “I can’t believe this.” He said again.
“What can’t you believe? That your nemesis will be your rejected mate or your Alphas will see bend to my will today?” Your Silver smirked.
Rejected mate? The others began whispering? Jake turned to me and Ralph. What rejected mate? Rihanna was the only rejected mate….
“Rihanna! You lived!” Chris threw down the knife he had, it landed besides her feet and he laughed hysterically.
“Why won’t I?” she came forward, as she did, the trail of Silver became more Intense.
“I accepted your rejection, faked my death, had a pack. Sasha couldn’t. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not jealous.” She shrugged.
The Blue Fire Alpha was stretching out his hand to take a gun. In impulse, I kicked it out of his hand. He glared at me confused.
“That’s my mate you want to hurt, peasant!” My wolf growled inside.
I ignored the Alpha and tried to enjoy the drama, also trying to ignore the fact that Your Silver was ignoring our mate bond.
“You and Ray tricked me.” Chris groaned, being affected a little by the silver in the air.
“Ray?” she looked around. “Oh my brother Ray? I haven’t seen him here. Why? Did you kick him off from being Beta too?”
She looked genuinely concerned. Did she not know Ray had been Beta? Would she be sad to know Ray was still Chris’s Beta?
“You mean you didn’t meet him?” Chris was stunned. I was as well. She stayed three years without meeting her brother. She really changed.
“Should we have? He talks a lot and would rat out that I’m alive.” She brushed it off. “By the way, I didn’t come to chitchat.”
One of the girls on mask, came forward and dropped a letter on Chris’s leg.
“To torment you further, sign that treat making Silver Pack a pack under you. Of course, we’d be as rebellious as Black Rose.” She winked at me.
Did she just… my heart fluttered furiously.
Chris turned to me and then at the treat. “No!”
