Chapter Eighty-Four – Hiding something.
Chris’s POV
The scroll the female guard had was from Blue Bloom Alpha. He got a similar letter from Logan. And he was pleading I saved his sister.
Quite selfish of him, or maybe he thought so highly of me. I rubbed my temples as the carriage bumped on a rock.
Taking a carriage to Silver Pack was the best decision, other than horses. I reread Logan’s letter repeatedly till I began reciting them.
“You are sure this is from the Lycan?” Edwin asked, after hearing me repeat it for minutes.
I nodded. “Your Silver will have more information about this wolf. What ever made her release him, she’d tell me!”
The carriage slowed down, alerting me that we were at Silver Pack. I jumped down, assuming a more dominant stance.
I looked up the stairs and saw Your Silver glaring down at me. She was in a white dress, quite pure and feminine for her.
Edwin came down the carriage as well, looking around. “Her place is really nice but could have loads of hideouts.”
“Of course, they were once rogues who were always in hiding, they would build their pack that way to feel safe.” I answered.
Your Silver shouted at me. “Rather than gossip about me, come up and say it to my face!”
My Delta, Edwin pointed himself, then me. “Was she referring to you or to me with that tone?”
I smirked. He knew nothing about how disrespectful she could be. I hoped he wouldn’t snap when he’d see it, he can’t challenge her.
“I came on urgent business, Your Silver. I don’t have time to gossip about you.” I walked up the stairs.
Two ladies by her side came forward and stood before she and I when I came closer.
I frowned. “What is this?”
“Well, last time, you strangled me. Shouldn’t they protect their Alpha from an abusive person?” she tilted her neck in a doll manner.
I clenched my jaw, massaging between my eyebrows. Edwin gave me a questioning and careful look.
She was making me look bad, like she hadn’t said something infuriating to deserve my reaction.
I glared at her and a smile was on her face. Every of her reaction were infuriating. “Let me in. I won’t be standing here to talk to you.”
“Then leave.” She deadpanned.
Edwin came in front of me. “Hey! Hey! Just because the Alpha strangled you doesn’t mean you can talk bratty at him.”
“Of course, you wouldn’t care. He must do that to your sister all the time.” Your Silver snapped at him.
Edwin went back, feeling offended.
“Your Silver, please, let’s not do this. The Lycan you failed to kill kidnapped a princess. We need this talk.” I pleaded with her.
She didn’t look like she cared. Was she already aware? “Vanessa? He has bad taste. He should have taken you.” She walked in.
As she walked in, the two ladies followed her.
“It’s actually the Blue Bloom Princess. On her way back from Black Rose.” Edwin corrected.
Your Silver turned to him. “That girl?” her eyes dimmed and she threw the door opened. “She can’t even defend herself.”
Did they meet? Or it’s from telltales. The Bloom princess was good at archery from what I knew. I doubt that could help her when facing a Lycan.
“You can blame yourself later. For now, we need to find him.” I shifted the letter he sent to me, towards her.
“The letter asked for you only. Why are you bringing me into this?” She remarked.
I knew she’d say that. “Well, I can’t save the princess and kill the Lucan at the same time.”
She shook her head. “You don’t think you can kill the Lycan alone.” I rolled my eyes. Whatever.
She stared at the letter then at Edwin. “I’d help.”
“Of course you will. It is your fault that the Lycan left in the first place.” Edwin asserted.
I nudged him. He shouldn’t offend her, since she agreed to go with us.
“You are Edwin, right? Hmm. I remember as kids, Ray avoided hanging with you because you said stupid things.” She chuckled to herself.
A smile came to my face, I gazed at Edwin who was glaring at her. She didn’t care.
“You still say stupid things.” She added, then gestured to some servants to serve us tea.
“Don’t mind her.” I said to Edwin through mind link. He stopped glaring and looked away.
Slowly I brought out the horsetail with me. “Do you know who this belongs to?”
Her eyes widened. She turned to someone behind me. I met her gaze and it was her lead Warrior, Dara, who stood outside.
“Warriors have it here.” She replied. “Why?”
Why did she look at Dara? That was heavily suspicious. “This horse tail is expensive and few. Can only be found at Black Hills.”
She scoffed. “Oh please. Boots and Rivers market sell anything. And the ones in Black Hills’ could be a cheap copy.”
“You mean the ones in Boots and Rivers market because the man who makes these stay at Black Hills.” Edwin argued.
She paid him no attention. “And what does it have to do with me? Why do you have it?”
“It belongs to Sasha. And recently was found at her mother’s house after she went missing. I suspect her kidnapper planted it there.”
Your Silver’s facial expressions changed from confusion then to disbelief then became slightly proud. “Well, it has nothing to with me, does it?”
Her eyes went behind me then back at me. I knew Dara was still behind me. “Do you know who did this? Silver and Mud was found on it.”
“Silver Pack warriors aren’t the only warriors who are around mud or silver.” She defended.
Edwin sighed. “You are lying! You know something! I see your hidden smirk so you’re hiding something!”
She surely was. But why was she?
She said she didn’t care about Sasha so why defend the one who kidnapped her?
“My warriors once joined the search for your beloved Luna, we didn’t find her.” she shrugged.
“If your warrior was the one who had her, why will they find her!” I barked.
Unlike her, she didn’t get annoyed. But her smirk became more obvious. “Instead of blaming me, let me investigate, hmm?”
She took the horsetail from me. “Dara!”
Dara rushed to us, I noticed her eyes widened when she saw the horsetail.
Your Silver wasn’t looking at her. “Please, keep this for me. I’d investigate this later. Chris thinks someone planted it at his Luna’s home.”
“Um… yeah… sure.” Dara stammered, taking it.
Your Silver smiled after Dara left. “Dara will handle it, happy now?”
She knew what she was doing. She knew Dara was responsible. “Fine. We’d get back to this. Let’s go get the Blue Bloom Princess.”
“Fine. Let’s go.” Your Silver exhaled.
Edwin left his seat and began storming out, he brushed past Dara as he left. The girl ignored him, clutching unto the horse tail.
