Chapter Seventy-Eight – He’s the evil.
Jaden’s POV
I found Beatrice walking out of the courtroom, I stopped her. “You should rest.”
She smiled. “Thank you for helping my Alpha save me but I am okay.”
I let her go, shrugging. The ladies of Silver Pack seemed to be built different. With such traumatic experience, I’d be on my bed for a while.
I continued inside the courtroom.
“I can’t believe you, really!” it was Dara shouting. “You let that Lycan live? What if he comes back again?”
I agreed with Dara. The Lycan showed he was dangerous.
Did she think because she had weakened him now, he wouldn’t come again?
“I’d hate to be coming here all the time to check up on you, Rih. There’s a reason Chris said to kill the Lycan.” I joined their talk.
Dara nodded vehemently, pointing towards the border. “My warriors and I can’t stay there in peace as we feel he may attack anytime.”
Rihanna only breathed in and out as the complains were laid before her.
“Give an order and my warriors and I will look for him. He won’t be able to kill us all…”
“I want no one to die!” Rihanna shouted. “I don’t want death and that’s why I let him leave. And I can’t kill him, yet. He’s too strong.”
“You had Alpha Jaden with you, you both could have killed him off there.” Dara pointed at me.
“I bet he wanted to.” Rihanna frowned, referring to my violence with the Lycan. “But, that’d be making the Lycan the evil in the prophecy.”
Her lead warrior’s hands fell, she paced around, perhaps searching for words or trying to cool a rising temper.
“I know you are disappointed but I didn’t want casualties. Put an eye on Beatrice…”
“You said you didn’t want to sign the Lycan as the evil from the prophecy, right?” Dara asked.
Rihanna shrugged. I leaned on the door watching them.
“That means he is possibly the evil, right? The evil from the prophecy had been revealed to us and you let it go?” Dara looked disappointed.
I knew it wasn’t the ideal time to add but I did since we were on the topic. “Dara is right. That Lycan was the one who clawed on your trees.”
They both screamed. “What?”
I repeated my words and added. “He confirmed it himself.”
Rihanna looked pumped to go look for him. I blocked the door before she’d move. “He also revealed that he let Red Moon catch him.”
There was a second silence before Dara punched the walls behind her, she got a bruise.
“Alpha, give the word and we’d get him. I never thought a Lycan will be the evil. I thought it’d be Chris.” Dara confessed. “You know?”
I shook my head, staring at her. I didn’t know. Why would it be Chris? Did she think Chris had something against Rihanna?
“I think I made a mistake again.” Rihanna mumbled under her breath. I heard it and came closer.
“We can tell the packs to search and kill him since you feel guilty. He went towards Red Moon so they should handle the mess they started.”
Dara came closer to us, having heard my suggestion. She nodded. “With your order, I’d go send the messages to the packs.”
My mate still looked hesitant but then nodded. “Do it.”
Dara hurried out.
Rihanna plopped down on a chair, raising her legs to the table. “That Lycan was just asking for trouble.”
Was she realizing only now?
“Um, Alpha Jaden?” Dara came back. “You said you’d hate to be coming here always to check up on our Alpha?”
She’s only processing my words now?
“Funny, right? Like I needed him to check up on me?” Rihanna rolled her eyes.
Dara observed us suspiciously then smiled. “We can take care of ourselves, don’t worry.” She finally left.
I sat besides my mate. My wolf could feel her being troubled but it was no use pointing it out, she wouldn’t understand as she couldn’t feel us.
“Chris and Red Moon will want to cover their tracks so they’d kill the Lycan if they see him. Cons are Chris will blame you for losing it.”
She tsked. “Not a con to me. I never wanted to listen, he’d see my continuous disobedience to him and know I was returning his mess.”
She never listened. “For the mean time, till your warriors can watch your border, don’t accept slaves. Send them to my pack if you must.”
She snapped her head at me. “You’ll accept the slaves that want to deploy to my pack, into yours?”
I nodded with a small smile.
“Why?” She narrowed her eyes at me.
They were lot’s of reasons why. It’d make her happy to know I helped the slaves. It was a nice thing to do for the slaves. It’d ease her pain.
“We are allies.” I said instead.
I took notice of her disappointed expression but it vanished as soon as it appeared. “You try.”
What did she want me saying instead? Because I wanted her to be happy, it was useless being romantic with her if she couldn’t feel it.
She jumped from her chair. “You should head to your pack though. So you can tell your warriors about the new development.”
Whenever she spoke of me leaving, it hurt my heart, and it was sign that I had slipped up.
“Oh, and about today with the Lycan I’d assume you haven’t beaten someone recently, right?” her eyes curved like a smile.
“Certainly.” I covered up. “And the Lycan didn’t have likeable character at all.”
“Well, that was cool. And hot. It was nice to know my mate had a crazy side. It’s relatable.” she chuckled to herself.
Did she just call me hot? I calmed my wolf down before he got over the top. “Yeah, I’d head to my pack now. Hopefully, no issues awaiting.”
“I know right.” Rihanna sighed, in agreement.
When I finally left, I let the corners of my lips rise to a smile, remembering everything that happened.
I had come on impulse to check up on her after we had spread the news of Red Moon using sorcery already.
I needed to know Red Moon hasn’t attacked her. But then I met with more danger.
I exhaled. “Let your crazy self out. You made me spend too long there and I need to be home.”
My stubborn wolf scoffed, before coming to the surface. “That Lycan, I hope we meet again. I really want to take him, alone.”
His confidence was ridiculous. “Your sole duty is to protect your pack, mate, and mate pack. Satisfying your ego isn’t one of them.”
“But you enjoyed it.” He defended.
“You made me enjoy it!” I retorted.
Slowly, he took control and my vision changed. I was in wolf form in seconds.
“I still look forward to meet that Lycan. He is one of a kind.”
That was exactly what the Lycan said to me. “Wolf, just take me home.” I repeated.
My wolf was indeed one of a kind; desiring the extreme, enjoying pain, and being dominant even with other Alphas.
The weirdest will be, he never told me his name, reasons were he wasn’t sure. Who does that?
