Accepted

Chapter Fifty-One – Accepted.
Rihanna’s POV
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.
“Alpha, they were permitted to deploy here, Black Hills will not accept them again if they don’t successfully deploy.” Camilla reminded.
Dara scoffed. “What do you know? They’d feel what it feels like to have no place to rest on…”
“Dara!” Camilla shouted, shutting her up.
“This is Alpha’s decision. They’re her parents who apologized and we’d need former officials to help our new pack.” she said the last part to me.
My eyes were still glued to my parents’ horses moving away. They were both dramatic, hopping slowly, hoping they’d be called back.
Lana came to the surface. “They should stay, since they have no where to go.”
I turned to Dara, like she was the devil at the other side of my shoulder stopping me from accepting my parents back.
“Don’t accept them, Alpha. We don’t know if they work for Chris. There’s an important detail in the prophecy Chris shouldn’t know.” She said.
Camilla frowned at her. “What now?”
I ignored them both and ran to my parents horse. They halted when I spread my hands in front of them.
“To be accepted in my pack, means you are loyal to me and no other, not even the Alpha King.” I spelt out.
My mom looked at my dad and then back at me.
“Is that a no?” I asked them.
She shook her head. “We didn’t ask to deploy here to backstab you, Rih. We want to help you build your pack. And discover something more.”
Something more? Like what more? I brushed it off and gestured for them to return. “You’re accepted then.”
“Really? Thank you, dear.” My mother’s horse turned as she spoke.
My father stared at me for a while. “Don’t worry, we’d make it up to you. And Ray.”
Ray? Weren’t they with him all those years? My father’s horse turned around and went past the border. I exhaled and followed.
“I hope you know what you’re doing, Alpha.” Dara said to me in mind link. I hoped I knew what I was doing too.
It’s sad I couldn’t even trust my own parents in times like this. They shouldn’t disappoint me.
“Here, you’d have no title. Rest, interact and live peacefully but that’s all! Do not oppress anyone with your ranks!” I ordered.
My mother nodded, like she had no problems with the orders but they were specifically for her, she had the urge to grasp authority all the time.
Here there was none for her. “That settled, I also don’t want you two trying to control me here.” I folded my arms staring at them.
“But dear, there’s something you need to know. The second part of the…”
“Mom, I’m being serious here. Don’t try to control me.” I interrupted her, trying to make sure she understood my demands first.
Dara came forward and turned to her. “Second part of the what? Prophecy? You know about it already?” she looked scared.
I calmed down and thought hard. Dara mentioned the other part of the prophecy that was ‘interesting’.
“What’s this second part about?” Camilla asked.
My father took out a scroll from his luggage but Dara quickly rushed the one in her hands into my hands. “Mine’s authentic.” She smiled.
“The authentic one was stolen.” My father frowned, looking at Dara. She didn’t spare him eye contact and stared into space.
Camilla rolled her eyes and nudged her.
I read through the scroll and my mouth dropped. Was I the silver wolf the prophecy talked about?
I knew about defeating an evil but having a mate who’d be the next Alpha King and we defeating the evil together? That was just new.
“It’s crazy, right?” Dara smirked, she turned to my father. “Chris shouldn’t know this or else he’d realize his reign and cause trouble.”
I agreed with her, this was surely a lot to take in. To think he was my one time mate. He would know he lost out, a lot more than he thought.
“Actually, he is aware.” My mother said in a low tone.
Dara snatched the scroll from me and raised it up. “He saw the scroll? How? I took it from the his library so he’d never see it!”
She did? How did she get there? How did she have time to get there? This girl was really fast.
“We told him ourselves. I made research a long time ago when I knew you were a silver wolf. We told him before he let us be deployed.”
I shook my head at my mother. Did she tell him as a threat that his rule was coming to an end or as a ‘come and kill my daughter’s new mate’?
That was the basic step Chris could make if he was bloodthirsty. Kill my mate. Which happened to be Alpha Jaden.
“Chris isn’t someone who’d kill for the throne, right?” Camilla asked, quite unsure.
“He’s a good kid but don’t underestimate him. He might take it as saving the throne from someone unworthy.” My father replied.
A scoff left my lips. “He’s the one unworthy one. He got a mate, he rejected her, why will the new mate be unworthy while he worthy?”
“Well, till you find a new mate. This secret shouldn’t be told to any other person. Let’s watch out for Chris next move.” Camilla advised.
She being very tactical and less warring since we got our pack was amazing. Dara seemed to be the wild card now.
I nodded at her words, as did my parents and Dara. I needed to know what it entailed before telling Alpha Jaden that he has chances of being killed if he ever tells Chris that he got me as mate, like it wasn’t a good thing.
“Very well, thank you for the heads up. We’d tighten security so they won’t be a repeat of today.” I made a small bow to my parents.
Dara bowed as well, while Camilla escorted them to the pack. I waited to continue patrol.
“What did she mean by ‘repeat of today’? Did someone try hurting her?” my father asked Camilla as they left.
“Yes, a Blue Bloom warrior. She was saved by Alpha Jaden of Black Rose Pack on time.” Camilla explained.
“Oh my.”
“That Alpha? Is he on her side?” my mother asked, impressed.
“He’s an ally. Has always been actually even when we were rogues.” Camilla answered again.
“What? Black Hills didn’t know of such relationship.” My father noted.
Camilla laughed. “Yes, it was quite a secret. One you now share as part of Silver Pack.”
She sounded hearty with them. I knew she never had parents and her brother was her only family. Either ways, I sighed.
The other half of the prophecy was really a problem, and basically steered my future into another direction.
But what really was this evil we were to fight?
