Chapter Fifty – Danger.
Rihanna’s POV
I watched as Jaden and his warriors returned. He was quite fun to be with, and engaging but I’d get over his company quickly.
Dara strolled towards me, making me look away from him. “An Alpha coming to visit you and you serving him tea. Sounds like you got a friend!”
Her hair was coiled and the back half packed in a pony tail, she looked more girly and I hoped she’d find a mate soon.
At least, she was moving closer to her happiness.
I shook my head at her earlier statement. “He wants be to be his friend, and why not? I’m the latest Alpha around.” I bragged.
Dara knew me and only rolled her eyes. We walked together back into the room.
In her hands was a scroll, bind together with horsetail, one peculiar to Black Hills, I noticed.
“Did you go shopping while at Black Hills?”
She frowned, in confusion, before looking at her hands and realizing what I meant.
“Oh, this?” she hid it behind her and shook her head. “I didn’t. How could I?” she chuckled.
That wasn’t sound convincing at all but I didn’t ask more. She wouldn’t have had enough time to beat Vanessa and go shopping.
She may have picked it up while there.
“Also, this scroll holds the prophecy’s half part. I found it three days before we stormed Back Hills and it’s interesting….”
Suddenly, there was loud ringing of a bell, throughout the building.
It was Camilla’s alarm, alerting there’s a danger that she couldn’t handle around and needed backup, me.
I snarled, annoyed that such danger was threatening my pack few hours after one threatened my life.
It seemed my new co-alphas didn’t like me at all and weren’t interested in liking me. I honestly shared the same sentiments.
“Dara, I’d get back to that interesting part of the prophecy. Let me handle the present, okay?” I said to her and I ran to the border.
“Sure, will you need some help?” she asked. I didn’t answer that, she knew I wouldn’t.
I tried to not to shift incase I’d be needed to talk to this danger before leaving them lifeless. Lana was boiling and running with might.
Then my mind link was tugged at. “Camilla, I’m on my way, hang in there.” I pleaded.
“Chill, Alpha. I just needed you to come out and see this, it isn’t much of an emergency.” She replied with a relaxed tone.
She wasn’t fighting any seven foot monster that was trying to leave her lifeless? And it wasn’t an emergency?
“What’s going on then?” I didn’t reduce my speed and focused on getting to the border.
“Chill, first.” Camilla said again, with a calm tone.
I got to the hill where I could see the border and beyond, looking down I saw Camilla with two horses and two figured atop it.
They looked like couples with matching outfits. Where they deploying to my pack with all those luggage?
I couldn’t tell who they were nor could I identify their scents but they’d powerful energies, one a Beta and the other warrior rank.
A cute combination, like my parents.
“Lana, let’s meet them.” I urged her, she seemed unwillingly.
“Your parents.” Was all she said. I wondered if it was because of what I thought of the cute combination.
“Yeah like my parents.” I repeated again.
“No, they are your parents, Rih. What do they want here?” she whimpered.
I narrowed my eyes at the figures. I couldn’t see their faces at all.
“They better not be here to scold me. They lost the parents rights, three years back.” I muttered as I came down the hill.
“What are my parents doing here, Camilla?” I asked her through mind link, making my presence known amongst the visitors.
Camilla bowed as I came closer, moving away to give me path to them but I stopped far off. “Why are you here?” I asked.
Camilla raised her head questioningly and frowned at me. Why?
I had told her how my parents didn’t support me. She didn’t expect me to cry and hug them, did she?
“We came to see you, Rihanna.” My mother spoke.
Her voice was croaky and lost it softness, she must have been sick for long. I didn’t care… much.
“Sent by your King? You still boy for him, don’t you?” I faced my father.
My case with him was more than his negligence of me, but the disrespect he allowed himself to face when with Alpha Wayne.
He brought down his hoodie and I stared into his brown eyes, one of the numerous thing I inherited from him.
His forehead had more wrinkled and was saggy.
I felt it was much for three years. Hadn’t they lived in happiness and luxury?
“Rihanna, we came on our own. Your mother and I. Alpha Wayne let us and his son, Chris, granted us permission to deploy here….”
“Hold your horses!” I heard Dara yell from behind me. She tagged along?
I snapped my head back to my parents and squinted my eyes. “Deploy to my pack?”
“The craziest shit I’ve heard.” Dara concurred. I nodded. Camilla frowned at her and pulled her to the sides to let my parents and I talk.
But I had nothing to say than. “No! So your dead daughter comes back to life and makes it big and you’re interested in her life? No!”
“Honey, we made mistakes in the past due to our…”
“What? Immaturity? Bias or blindness? Not interested in whatever excuse. You gave support to Ray but not me. I was all I got!” I barked.
My emotions were beginning to pour out and I didn’t want that. I pointed out. “Leave. Tell Chris, I reject you. I house slaves not bad parents.”
They were speechless, so was Lana. What did she expect? Could she even bear to see those people bask in her greatness?
“Fine.” My mother swallowed lump. “We’d leave.” She looked down.
Good, I folded my hands and waited for them to move.
“But we also came with some information that could help you steer your future the right way, so far, I don’t think…”
“You don’t think she’s steering her future the right way? Exactly, started with the mom talk.” Dara butted in, walking towards me.
My mom mustn’t be serious. My future was made by me, steering wrong or right was all by my doing. She had no say.
“You should leave first. I got me.” I pointed out again.
My father held my mother and pulled her to himself. “Rihanna, your mother and I are sorry, we understand your anger and will leave.”
“Comforting.” Dara mocked. Camilla dragged her towards her again and smacked her lips.
My parents turned around and was about moving out before Camilla stopped them again.
I glared at her, she shouldn’t try bringing those people into my life. I was better without them.
Author’s note: Do you think Rih should accept her parents back in her life?
