Chapter Sixty-One – Visiting the Luna.
Rihanna’s POV
I had seen claw marks on the trees around my pack. It could be the Lycan pacing around my forest. Wasn’t he supposed to be at Black Hills?
I tugged at the warrior who was shackled hands and feet, to move faster. I didn’t have all day.
I went past the forest of Silver Pack and headed towards Black Hills palace, through the hidden road.
“How do you guys know about this path? Surely this place will be locked when you release me?” the warrior scoffed.
I shook my head internally, this warrior didn’t know he was in my kill list. He played Greta and was spying on my pack and thought he’d live?
I threw him on the ground, in front of the guards protecting the palace. They all ran down to me, unsheathing their swords.
“Hold your horses. I came to see your Luna, I have message that she wanted to see me.” I said to them, my claws out of their place.
I was hesitant to hurt them because they were warriors under Cara, my brother’s mate. They slowly backed away, giving me space.
I dragged the warrior with me, strolling into the courtroom. Chris should be pleased that it was me visiting him this time.
“Rihanna!” Vanessa screamed, seeing me walk in. She was seated besides her bother, possibly complaining about something.
Chris’s eyes darted to the warrior I was dragging in and then to my claws out.
“Where’s your mother?” I threw the warrior down, he tried to run but I stepped on the chain pulling him back. “She had ask for me.”
Chris left his throne gently. “She asked for you? And you came?”
“Shouldn’t I obey the former Luna? Not like there’s another Luna around. Also, I had some words for her.” I replied, flipping my hair.
Vanessa stayed behind her brother, glaring at me from there. I pointed at her, then at the warrior. “I heard you sent him after a warrior.”
She looked at the boy and rose from her seat. “I bet he wasn’t successful since you caught him.”
I shook my head. “He was. Very successful. It’s not surprising how your family ways of hurting someone is emotional heartbreak and pain.”
Chris eyes dimmed on me, I took a step towards him. “But like me, that warrior will rise and doom you. Now, get me your mother!”
At that moment, a guard was walking in with a report. He halted seeing us and nearly ran back.
“Come in. She won’t dare harm you.” Chris ordered, staring into my eyes.
It seemed he was daring me but did he think I was a senseless killer? I wouldn’t hurt his petty guard over nothing.
As the guard came closer, I pulled the scroll report from his hands making him jolt in fear. “Give me this, run go call the Luna.”
He didn’t even wait for Chris’ permission before running off. I threw the report to Vanessa. “Be a good sister and read that to your brother.”
She rolled her eyes before picking it up.
“So you came to visit me…”
“Your mother.” I interrupted Chris. “Don’t think I came here for you. I would’ve bundled your bastard to you but decided to come myself.”
“I guess I should be thankful….”
“That I didn’t come with an army? Yes.” I glared at him. “I am aware you helped sneak the basted in.”
“And you’d retaliate with war?” Chris laughed. “That’s daring, Your Silver. Very daring.”
“Don’t underestimate me, Chris.” I pointed at him, he shoved my hands away making me smirk but I continued.
“Being under you doesn’t mean I’d serve you. It’s a cover and only that. Treat my pack like a playground and I’d play with yours as well.”
His amused expression changed to something nasty and dark, he returned to his throne and sat, staring into space.
I wondered if it was a good time to bring up him wanting to kill my mate. He shouldn’t be so surprised I knew, his bastard told me.
“Chris, there’s a problem.” I heard Vanessa mumble to her brother, leaning towards him.
I could hear her with my wolf’s hearing but I acted like I couldn’t.
“Mother has to return to Red Moon immediately. Grandfather summoned her and she would stay there for a long while.” The princess reported.
Chris glanced at me but I was looking away, he inched towards his sister. “Red Moon doesn’t have the right to take my mother from me.”
“I know but this is about grandfather. Mother would want to go. Should I tell her?”
A smile came to my face. So that bitch of a Luna was leaving? That was good. One less viper to deal with.
“Tell her then. I’d respect whatever decision she takes.” Chris replied with a sigh.
Vanessa stood up to leave but I stopped her. “Your mother is coming to see me, isn’t she? Wait, you’d tell her the news when she comes.”
She frowned. “You don’t regulate my movement…”
“I can. Just bundle you and keep you away. Like whoever did to Sasha. I bet they were ridding the palace of vipers.” I folded my arms.
She breathed heavily then asked. “Do you have anything to do with her disappearance…”
“No, sadly not. But bless who do.” I spoke nonchalantly.
Chris looked annoyed and worried. That’s new. Didn’t he always hate her? Or fu*cking her lots of times cleansed the hatred. Miracles do happen.
“I am here, girls. Stop arguing!” I heard the Luna’s voice. I hadn’t heard it in years but there was a change.
Apart from it being less lustrous due to her age, it didn’t cause fear in me anymore, but rather anger. I managed it.
My claws were still out, and as I turned to meet the green eyes of the Luna, I dug my hands into the neck of the warrior.
I heard Vanessa gasp behind me. The Luna halted in her steps.
“I believe you sent this bastard to my pack to spy on me.” I cocked my head. “Well, he failed.” I tore out the boy’s gullet.
His legs shook like a fish as he fell to the ground. His eyes were bloodshot and soon were filled with not fear but emptiness.
Looking down and seeing the courtroom was covered with red rugs, I was annoyed that there wasn’t a very visible mess.
“You are something, Your Silver.” Chris exhaled, not feeling bad for what I did to him.
How could he? All warriors were dispensable. Especially if it’s from Red Moon.
Vanessa shrieked. “How could you kill him?”
“How could you send him to me? Haven’t you heard? Whoever unworthy meets Your Silver, will meet the Moon goddess as well.” I smirked.
Vanessa covered her mouth, looking away from the blood. She hurried to her mother, holding the report. “And what’d you want to tell my mother?”
I wiped my the blood off my hands. “Just to remind her that I was worth it. And she should regret ever doubting me.”
The Luna scoffed, looking down at the boy. “Yes, I see you became a beast, a strong one. But I’d always go with my son rejecting you.”
“I know. He wouldn’t have been able to handle me. That’s why I’d get a new and better mate.” I turned to him.
His eyes dimmed and he left his throne. “You know the prophecy already, don’t you? Have you met him?”
I chuckled. “I don’t remember it being your business. Just keep annoying me, and your butt will leave that throne sooner than you think.”
His fists clenched and my lips widened to a smile. Contending with an Alpha King was dangerous but surely fun.
