Chapter Forty-Six – Visit to Mate.
Jaden’s POV
That was definitely no way to treat your mate.
I ignored them both and sped deeper into the forest. She knew I meant no harm but was being mean as she wanted to falter the mate bond.
Well, I wouldn’t be letting that happen.
She sped after me but lost me in seconds. She should know I was trained in forests like this.
“Are you playing a hide and seek game with our mate?” my wolf sighed.
“It’s a couples thing.” I replied.
“Except we aren’t a couple.” He sniffed.
“Right.” I diverted back to her pack but she cornered me immediately, growling. No way, she was definitely in a bad mood.
I let her lead me to the pack and she left to let me change, I wouldn’t mind her staying.
When I came out she was in her human form as well. “Jake isn’t here.” She said as I came closer.
I froze. “But I sent him here.”
“And I sent him back.” she turned to me, those dark eyes piercing into my eyes and doing weird things to me.
“Why?” I managed to say, to hide that I was distracted.
“Well, he shouts a lot. I don’t also want Jonah here. He looks down on me. Your warriors are all that’s needed.” She said in a heartbeat.
A lady came closer to her and mind linked when she got near. I knew as she stared at me for long when she wasn’t actually looking.
“Kill it.” She ordered and the lady smiled.
I bet that was a rogue.
“I actually came here to see Jake.” I told her when the lady left.
“Did you?” she rolled her eyes.
I added. “Then if I am here to see you?”
“I would wonder why. I need no Alpha advice.”
“And that’s all I am to you, another Alpha?” she was beginning to hurt my feelings.
“Right now, yes.” She met my gaze.
And I could read she was being sincere. What did she mean by right now? Like that could change when she was ready?
Then I wouldn’t worry. I was good at waiting. And she being mated to me officially at this point in her life will be chaotic.
“That’s mean.” I scoffed, looking away.
I noticed her smile. “I am mean.” she glanced at me and then at the warriors working. “If you want to stay, you can stay. I’d be patrolling.”
I attempted to join her but she raised her hands. “And please, don’t join me in patrolling around my own pack. Thank you.”
I went back to where I stood. Then what was I to do here?
“Oh, before you leave, I wanted to ask.” I called her back before she left. She sighed and sluggishly walked back.
She looked like Ray when he was bored of something. It stung to know she was bored of me. “Wanted to ask…?”
“There’s a rumor reaching me that Sasha is missing.” I avoided using ‘Luna’ incase it’d displease her.
She frowned, looking at her hands. “Why?” she asked, she looked up at me. “Wait, are you asking me?”
I shook my head vehemently. “No, I’m just sharing.”
“It sounds like you are accusing me. I didn’t even see her that day so how’d I steal her?” She raised her voice.
I sighed. “I didn’t accuse you, I just shared. Actually, the rumors also said that you took her but it’s obvious you didn’t.”
There was a few seconds of silence between us, then she scoffed. “Maybe her mate killed her, I doubt he liked her before their coronation. She was always a bitch.”
She surely disliked the Luna but deemed her unworthy to bother about her, then she was unlikely to be involved with her missing.
“Either ways, she’s your Luna now so at least worry about her safety.” I told her.
“I’d tell my warriors to look out for her but tell Chris, he might not be having her back in one price if I find her. So he better find her.”
She clicked her tongue and fondled with her hair before walking away, obviously thinking about what happened with Sasha.
I wondered too. Did the Luna feel threatened after hearing Your Silver was actually Chris’s ex-mate? Did she feel Chris would want her back?
That had low chances on happening. Rihanna and Chris were over.
I doubt he can even live in the same house with her knowing the torments she caused him.
Also, she was my mate now. Mine.
I exhaled, looking around for a place to sit. There was none so I walked ahead to find my warriors and cheer them on.
I passed by the men building blocks, but stopped when I saw something familiar. A man had his hair in an hairpin.
That was very abnormal for men around here. This place were usually cold so the man had long hair which they let pour on their necks.
Also men on hairpins was deemed feminine. The only pack that did that was Blue Bloom. Their men looked feminine.
They modeled their first Alpha, Alpha Brielle who was the lover of Alpha Zack of Blue Fire many years ago.
And the men who wore such expensive hairpins as I saw now, were privileged men or officials. What was one doing here?
“She’s gone.” A warrior besides the man said. “What did you want to do when she’s gone?”
“Ahh, nothing. Just speak to her in private.” The man said, with a bow. He left the others and began tiptoeing towards the forest.
Your Silver’s warriors didn’t pick anything peculiar about him but his hairpin stuck out to me. I followed him. He wasn’t surely not a slave.
I haven’t walked three blocks when I saw the man rub his neck and a tattoo was on it. It had the mark of a warrior wolf.
“Alert Dara now! There’s a wolf going after Your Silver.” I mind linked my warrior.
I did that so Dara would be aware but I knew she’d be late. I followed him there myself.
Your Silver would easily defeat him but if she was caught unawares, and assumed it was just a slave, then he could really hurt her.
“What do you want, sir?” she asked as the man walked to her, heads down.
He fell on his knees. “I am very grateful to you helping me and my family get out of Red Moon. They enslaved us for years.”
He was a good actor. Nothing about him looked Red Moon.
Rihanna came closer to him, wanting to help him get up. “It’s alright. You’re welcome.”
I saw his claws already out, wanting to strike her when she came closer.
“Not on my watch.” I whispered to myself.
As she held unto his arm, he rose his hands to scar her but I rushed and held them in air. My claws shot out and I tore his arm out.
Rihanna went back as the man screamed. Her eyes darted in confusion as she tried to understand what just happened.
She realized and tore his the man’s gullet, letting him fall to the ground, lifeless. She exhaled.
I wanted to ask her why she didn’t interrogate him but I bet she was to mad to reason.
“Thank you. I could have been really injured now.” she sighed, holding her hands.
Well, there I got it. I won a favor from her. “Sure. You’re welcome.” I responded proudly.
