Chapter Sixty-Nine – Banter II
Rihanna’s POV
Princess of Blue Bloom? What was she doing in my palace after sending a warrior to kill me? The kettle left my hands as I rose to my feet.
Jaden stared at me like I had ran mad. I was, that princess surely wanted to lose a limp to come to my pack without permission.
“Can I ask what happened…”
“Don’t. I’d handle it.” I interrupted Jaden and rushed out, I closed the door to make sure he didn’t follow.
He shouldn’t be there, and stop me from breaking something. “Keep that pest there, I’m coming!” I ordered Beatrice.
“She is already making herself comfortable.” Beatrice replied with a sigh.
I slowed down my steps. Making herself comfortable? In my pack?
Beatrice added. “She wants to see you and Jaden. She came from Black Rose after she heard he was here.”
Well peace to her soul. The princess of Blue Bloom was on such friendship level with Jaden, why was I more disgusted than jealous?
On throwing the door opened, My eyes laid on a small blonde girl who jolted to her feet, her lips twitched as her eyes landed on me.
She was pretty with healthy looking skin, that showed she took care of it, but again meant she never had been to war.
“And you’re here for?” was my first question to her. Her shoulders slumped as I walked closer, towering above her.
I never really towered above someone but she was that small. What did she want to say that’d make her risk her life coming here?
“I came to see Alpha Jaden. I only have few words for you.” She replied boldly.
My mind wondered on why she was called a princess when her pack wasn’t a kingdom. She must have instilled some “princessyness” in her.
“You’d meet Alpha Jaden at his pack. Here, he’s my guest. The few words you have for me, spit them out, I have even fewer for you.” I huffed.
The corner of eye brows furrowed together, in a cutely angry way. I smiled adjusting my weight on one foot. “And you better hurry.”
She glanced behind me then exhaled. “I am not leaving till I speak with Alpha Jaden, someone has to teach you manner and only he can.”
The ghost of a smile on my face faded. Beatrice came closer to her with raised hands.
Teach me manners? How nice of her.
“Hit her!” I ordered and Beatrice’s raised hands landed on her precious white face.
She went back, holding her face while in awe. “You slapped me?” her face was red but I wasn’t regretting.
Beatrice began scolding, going full mom mode on her. “Will do it again. You don’t badmouth an Alpha in her own pack. You lack manners.”
I nodded. “As well as will to live. Princess, you have great skin and I’d hate to scar it. Just live if your words for me are not worth my time.”
“They are!” the princess barked. “You don’t deserve this. My pack will never surrender to you. You are worst than your brother, Beta Ray.”
“Wow. You’ve met him?” a smirk came to my lips. And who said I wanted her pack to surrender to me? They’re a group of clowns.
The girl nodded, looking down. “Beta Ray chased me out of Black Hills, insulted me and threatened to tear off my limb.”
My brother had surely embraced his crazy side, sprinkled with the anger issues.
“Well, seeing you’re still complete, he didn’t keep his promise. But I will for him. You better get out.” I warned, taking a step towards her.
She took two back, looking from me to Beatrice who was so tired of her breathing same air with the princess.
“My words do not affect you, right?” the girl asked. “Because you aren’t Rihanna. My brother said Beta Sam’s daughter was long dead.”
“If that was what he needed to believe for some sleep at night, he can believe it. And my father is here with me, his living daughter.”
Her words were becoming pissing. I gestured to Beatrice to drive her away, and she immediately attempted to.
“Wait.” We heard Jaden, walking out of the door. The princess ran from Beatrice’s grip and rushed into his arms. Like a scared lover?
I rolled my arms. Funny enough, Jaden pushed her away from him, giving her an annoyed look.
“You can leave with her, I don’t think our conversation was heading anywhere.” I reminded him.
“Stop it, Rihanna.” He said quite authoritatively, making me confused. The princess smiled looking at us. What did I do?
“You shouldn’t be bantering with a teenage princess when you know you’re an Alpha.” He added with a disappointed tone.
Banter? The ‘teenage princess’ walked into my pack to piss me off and I defend myself and it’s tagged a banter?
“I am not just a teenage princess and she’s the one having so many words to say, like her brother.” The princess eye rolled.
I couldn’t believe her. Or Jaden. Maybe he was used to people being brats around him but hell I wasn’t.
“Are you following her or can I throw her away?” Beatrice asked, hands on hips.
Glad someone was feeling me. One or both of them had to go.
“Princess, I’d meet you on your way to Black Rose. I’d just finalize my discussion with Alpha Rihanna it’s urgent.” Jaden told the girl.
She pouted, with a sulky expression. She looked ridiculous. I couldn’t stand it and stormed back inside. Why treat her with such respect?
“Get out of my pack within a minute bitch!” I yelled as I slammed the door.
I poured myself a glass of tea to calm down but when I whipped my head up, my vision got blurred.
I blinked furiously, then cleaned my eyes with my palm. My vision was still blurred but before me looked like an image of a horse.
I tried to walk towards it but whenever it moved, I felt dizzy. Was this from getting to pissed at that princess? I was hallucinating?
With Lana’s help, I snapped out of that realm and saw things for real. But a slight image of a horse remained before it faded off.
“What the hell?” I gasped, placing the cup down. I heard a footstep behind me and turned to see Jaden.
“Did you see that?” I asked to be sure. He looked stunned and slowly nodded.
He did? Then I wasn’t hallucinating? Something was tripping.
“That was an image of a horse but from another realm. You know like Spirit wolfs.” He mumbled.
I have heard of those before, but they were associated with the Moon Goddess myths. They couldn’t be done by normal Werewolfs.
“Do you have a new horse here?” Jaden asked.
I sure did. Thanks to Red Moon. “Why?”
“Realms are triggered by either presence of the Moon goddess or Sorcery. I think it’s the last one this time.” He sighed.
Sorry? Red Moon gave it to me so…
