Chapter Fifty-Four – Useless Lycan.
Jaden’s POV
Spies and Rogues. They were two groups I hated a lot.
My hands crawled to the neck of the man and began strangling the life out of him.
It was quite funny when the moon goddess gave me a rogue as a mate. Maybe it was because it wasn’t her destiny to be a rogue.
The man fell lifeless, I kicked him and moved towards the other shaking man.
Rihanna’s destiny was to be a Luna Queen, a powerful one just like the Silver Luna Queen, Chris’s grandmother.
Have a kingdom that rule other packs, love happily without the pain of a broken love but knowing your mate valued you.
That should have been her fate.
I frowned as the shaking man moved back, I didn’t have all day.
My claws came out and I slowly dragged the flesh off his skin, his screams were only melody to my thoughts.
Rihanna being a broken yet powerful Alpha was admirable but steered off what her future was supposed to be like.
She was deprived her chance to be a Silver Queen by a selfish man, or had Chris actually been selfish? What made him do that?
The man stopped screaming and fell dead, I left him and moved towards the tied lady.
Deep down, I wanted my mate to get back the future she deserved. To be the silver Luna Queen as the moon goddess planned for her.
But I couldn’t change the past, I only wanted her present changed. But again, it might be too late.
Perhaps the Moon goddess gave her another future. Or did she?
The lady kicked my legs jolting me from my thinking. My eyes changed from red to it’s normal color.
“Please scream, rather than kicking me, okay?” I asked her gently, reaching for her neck.
She shook her head and bit off the cloth tied on her mouth. “Don’t kill me, please, don’t kill me!”
Her words were distracting my thoughts. I disconnected from my wolf and looked down at her. I realized she was a Red Moon spy.
“You are a spy from Red Moon? Don’t they usually send warriors or are they tired of acting impulsively?” I smirked, going back.
Her breathing slowed down as I wasn’t making a move to end her. She looked at the men dead and gulped down saliva. “I was forced to come.”
“Hmm.” I said dismissively, smelling the lie in her words. “You weren’t. Perhaps you’d be given gold if you give them useful information.”
She glared at me. “I really was forced here..”
“Don’t lie to me!” I gripped her neck suddenly, startling her, she tried to push her wrist off but was too weak to even make it move.
“Drop your hands or my claws will leave their places and tear into your neck!” I ordered her.
She involuntarily dropped her hands while gasping for breath. I let go of her and she fell.
I wasn’t even aware I had lifted her up the ground, I sighed. My wolf should really stop getting in my way.
“Okay, I’d let you talk with these wolfs when you can easily kill them and go rest.” He huffed.
“If we kill them all, we won’t know exactly what they want. Stay clear and let me do my thing.”
“Fine.” He went to the back of my head.
I breathed out, my eyes assuming their normal color again. My wolf always switched it without consent.
“Now let’s talk. You are not a rogue like these men, so why will they send an official to spy here? I love the attention but why?” I sat down.
She looked under the table where I sat at, there was a saw underneath, she looked at me in fear.
“I swear, I’m not going to use that on you.” I assured.
“Yet.” My wolf whispered, making me frown.
The young girl swallowed saliva. “Actually, my Alpha has always been sending spies here. I’m the only one that ever sent back information.”
She had sent back information? “What did you send?” I frowned.
She looked down. “I informed him that you sent warriors to help Your Silver and even visited her as an ally.”
Hearing her say “as an ally” made me exhale. I thought she’d assume I wanted a relationship with. It gladden me that she wasn’t that… smart.
“You should be proud of yourself, you are the first spy to do that.” I grinned.
Her eyes dilated as I got up again. “If that’s all you’ve done then I doubt you’ve been here long, it’s best to end you now. You can’t help me…”
“Actually I can!” She interjected.
I retracted my claws. “How? And I don’t want a spy for Red Moon. What happens there doesn’t concern me.”
“It should.” She hurriedly said. “You know of the Lycan King there?”
My eyes widened. Lycan King? I know of the Lycan Red Moon had been wanting to trade with Black Hills but he was a King?
My wolf came closer to get a fill in on this gossip, he was particularly interested in it.
“What about the Lycan King? And how did Red Moon get a Lycan King?” I enquired, almost disbelieving her.
A Lycan was really powerful, an average Lycan could combat a Beta, more or less a full Lycan.
Then King of Lycans? Something didn’t add up. “And how do you know he’s the Lycan King?”
“He is crazy! Mad! He killed all his family and was heavily injured much that he is like a warrior wolf.” She replied.
“Then he is almost useless.” I deadpanned.
“No, he’s rebuilding and a fight with a silver wolf will greatly improve him. He’ll be Red Moon and Black Hills secret weapon.” She smirked.
Those two packs will seriously not be accepting to trade a Lycan in our world to a Silver wolf.
“That was the arrangements before I left Red Moon, I don’t know if it commenced or changed. I can if you let me go.” she pleaded.
She was very convincing. I wanted to protect my mate and I’d need an insider. But if I let this spy go, how was I sure she wouldn’t run away?
“Let’s do this. You keep on being a spy for Red Moon but in turn ask for information that can facilitate your espionage.” I offered.
She cocked her head. “You will let me keep being a spy?”
I nodded. “So far, I have few secrets to hide. If I do, you wouldn’t know about it even if you try. I’d keep a warrior on you so you won’t leave.”
She nodded readily, “As long as I don’t die. I will do anything you please.”
I sensed the sincerity in her words. A part of me felt that she was tired of working with Red Moon, also they had a history of disposing their spies.
“Very well. Stay here, I’d send a warrior who’d you be answering to.” I told her as I walked away.
She nodded and I left the barn where we were. The warrior outside went in immediately and took out the dead men.
I mind linked to him. “I’m assigning her to you. She will be reporting things concerning Red Moon and you’d tell me.”
He replied. “Yes, Alpha. And Beta Ralph came shortly to say that King Chris was currently at Silver Pack, he thought you should know.”
I froze, cutting off my mind link. Why was Chris there? My wolf came to the surface. What did he want with her?
He recently released her parents to her and now he came himself? Was he trying to gain favor from her? Or was I overthinking.
“Don’t be jealous. Let’s go there now!”
“That will be impulsive…” I retorted.
Yet I let my wolf shift, we will be visiting there. I didn’t like the idea of my mate being alone with an EX.
