Chapter Forty-Five – His outburst.
Jaden’s POV
It’s been a week since Rihanna’s demeaning visit to Black Hills. None of the Alphas dared speak about it due to shame of defeat.
Also, speaking of it will cause a riot with Silver Pack. Great amount of slaves had deployed to Silver Pack to help rebuild and stay.
As an ally, I sent Jake, with some warriors, to help her map out her pack house.
Her pack, within a week, had amassed greater size than Blue Fire Pack, even if Blue Fire had been the smallest pack since the times.
Rumors had it that Blue Fire and Blue Bloom had been contemplating combining under one name to avoid being overthrown by Silver Pack.
That young lady was gaining respect and striking fears in Alphas, but not me. I’d support her, as mate and co-alpha.
“Mate? Tsk.” My wolf sighed. It was hard for him to be ignored by his mate so he acted like she wasn’t his mate.
But I’ve suffered being ignored countless times and wouldn’t mind waiting a while for my own soulmate.
“Should she have been a broken girl being haunted by Chris’ rejection?” I asked him.
I wasn’t also sure which was better, having a broken Beta under Black Bills as mate or having a rebellious rogue-turn-alpha as mate.
Either ways, Rihanna changed her fate for the better. Anyone would be impressed.
The maid besides me, cleared her throat, summoning me back to the land of the living. I glanced at her and smiled.
It was a normal reaction with her, whenever I stared at nothing for long. “It’s cold already. Just pack it up.” I said, leaving the dining table.
She pouted, and began taking the dishes away.
“At this rate, you won’t have the strength to train the warriors.” My wolf mumbled, referring to me not eating properly for days on end.
“Should we pay a visit to Rihanna and see how the building is going?”
“We should go to Jake.” He refuted.
Had he given up on his mate? I was sure the moment he’d see her, he’d be excited again.
“You know me.” He sighed, agreeing with my thoughts. I smirked, walking into the courtroom.
Of course, they were businesses to handle. I met a filled table with complaints and unsurprisingly, threats.
Since Rihanna’s preferential treatment to me last week, many death threats had been sent by other Alphas, warning me to betray her.
I bet even Chris will be biased to me, annoyed as his ex-mate was favoring me.
It’d surely infuriate him if he knew she was my mate now. He’d feel replaced, even if it wasn’t my fault he was blinded to reject her.
Either ways, till she accepted the mate bond, I’d keep it disclosed.
“Alpha!” someone called the moment I sat down to check the reports. Ralph walked in, hurriedly.
He stopped in front of me and bowed. “Reports as well as rumors coming from Black Hills…they are really bad.”
I looked up, unscrolling the scrolls in my hand. “What is it now?”
He blinked multiple times and inched closer. “The Luna is missing.” My eyes widened. “And Alpha, Your Silver is being blamed for it.”
I wasn’t aware I had squeezed the scroll in my hand to another shape, I let go of it and rose to my feet.
“Make sure that rumor doesn’t circulate around my pack.” As allies, we should protect that secret till it was confirmed.
“It hasn’t been announced yet, no one is sure. Only warriors who knew of Your Silver’s visit, speculates she took the Luna.” Ralph added.
My mind went back to her comment on Sasha, saying she’s better than her and wasn’t jealous at all that she was chosen as Luna.
I wouldn’t know if it was a genuine confession but I doubt she’d say that while having evil intentions towards the Queen.
“I plan to visit her today and speak of this. I doubt she had enough time to meet us, beat the princess and steal the Luna.” I replied.
“Meet us?” Ralph frowned. “Why are you tuning down all she did?” he folded his arms.
I knew an outburst was about to start so I sat down, waiting for it.
He started. “First, you, Jake and Jonah, didn’t tell me she was actually a young girl…”
“She wasn’t. If she’s Ray’s twin, then she’s 21.” I corrected.
Ralph paused, taking it in then nodded.
“Even still, I wasn’t aware of her gender. And she humiliated us and other Alphas and got away with it. Then you sent Jake to help her?”
“What should I have done? Chase her when I was hurt by her silver? And Chris had let her go himself.” I said.
He retorted in a low voice. “We shouldn’t show support for her then. She hurt us.”
“Don’t forget she saved Jonah twice. And she’s under the Black Hills kingdom and announced us as ally. We should act like it.” I said again.
Ralph peered into my eyes, still feeling unsure of my replies and statements.
“I can’t help but feel that either you have an ulterior motive or there’s some favor you want to win by helping her.” Ralph sighed.
I met his gaze and he had the psychic look. I stood up and patted his shoulders. “You are getting better at reading me these days.”
His eyes widened. “So I am right? Then which is it? You have an ulterior motive or you want a favor?”
“Figure it out.” I shrugged. “I’d be visiting now. Take care.” I walked past him towards the door.
He sighed, plopping down on the chair I just left. “It’s surely an ulterior motive. What favor does he want with that rogue?”
I smiled, getting past the door. Actually, it’s I want a favor from her. One that’d make her indebted to me.
She’d need it too, as a new Alpha who might not have gotten an Alpha rank yet.
She has many enemies and now she’s not in hiding, it’d be easier to strike.
I tied a stash of clothes on my leg and shifted to my wolf. I ordered the border warriors that I was passing by and they all backed away.
For some reason, my wolf exuded domineering auras when around other wolfs. And it wasn’t just cause he was an Alpha wolf. That jerk.
“All clear, Alpha. Safe trip.” A border warrior alerted. I made an ‘hmm’ sound and sped past the border, heading to Silver Pack.
I haven’t brought out my wolf for a while and the clear air brought a refreshing ouch to my soul. I increased my pace.
I had seen some trees which surrounded the Silver pack when a scent of cinnamon and honey hit me, enthralling me at the spot.
My wolf slowed down. “Mate.”
“Jerk, didn’t you say you’d ignore her.” I scolded him.
He growled, turning behind him. He could sense her around. She must have been patrolling about her pack while the building was ongoing.
A figure sped past me and stopped above a hill. I looked to see an angry silvery wolf, sparkling from the sun above her.
Despite the fact she was my mate, her wolf was beautiful and enticing. I bet many of her victims had died while being distracted my it.
“My Alpha would like to know what graces us with your presence.” A blonde lady strolled towards me. She was a Your Silver warrior.
I glanced at her, then at her angry Alpha. Was they a no visitors rule? Why was she that mad?
That was definitely no way to treat your mate.
