Chapter Ninety-One – Won’t end well.
Jaden’s POV
“Whatever you are thinking, you better stop.” Someone said, behind me.
It was the voice of my Beta, Ralph. He strolled in front of me with folded arms. “Whatever you are thinking, stop.” He repeated.
He had that psychic look. Could he really see my wolf’s desire to hurt Chris? That was risky.
Could Chris see it too? I glanced at him and he was confused by Ralph’s words. I exhaled.
“Is that suggestion dangerous?” I queried my Beta, acting oblivious.
He squinted his eyes at me. “You know what is.”
Yes, my wolf.
I nodded. “The Lycan, I get it.”
Ralph rolled his eyes, seating down. “Alpha King, we should desist from chasing the Lycan for now. Where he’d hide will be hard to find.”
Chris didn’t seem to have a problem with it, he never wanted to battle the Lycan. “Sure, let’s drop that.”
My eyes were on Chris but went away when he met my gaze. My wolf should stop sending those glares, it was too susceptible.
“And Alpha Jaden, thank you for taking care of my sister when I brought her here impromptu.” Ray smiled at me.
More than he knew, it was my pleasure that he felt relaxed enough to drop his sister with me.
“You are welcomed.” I responded.
Chris cleared his throat, taking steps back. “I will be heading back. Black Hills is empty now. Ray, you should do the same.”
I left my seat, hoping to walk them to the door. Edwin, delayed before walking out. His eyes were on the door of the room Rihanna was.
The room was close but where she was exactly, was farther inside. Had he heard a sound from there?
I waited till he had passed before continuing with them.
On opening the door, we saw Camilla outside, a carriage with the Black Hills logo was broke on one wheel.
Their rider was on the ground, badly beaten. That was Camilla’s doing, she left the wall she was leaning on and faced Chris.
“You came to know if she was dead, right!” She shouted. Ray ran down to help the rider but Camilla paid him no attention.
Was she yelling at Chris? I glimpsed at him and he had a done look, like he was used to all the disrespect.
“If this is about your Alpha, then believe me, we didn’t leave her there to die. I was badly injured so couldn’t help.” He explained.
Was the scar on his face the injury? I begun second guessing myself.
“As she said, you’d deny it! You planned it with the Lycan, she was bait to get the Blue Bloom Princess!” Camilla retorted.
Ray, who was helping the rider to a safer place, dropped the man, facing Chris. “What?”
Edwin came forward. “That’s not true! Rihanna must have misunderstood…”
“How did she tell you that?” Chris asked, his eyebrows knotted together in a frown.
Camilla advanced towards him. “Through mind link. Her body is immobilized but her soul burns for revenge.”
I was there, Rihanna must have told her Delta because she wanted revenge. But Camilla can’t go against Chris.
And did Rihanna want a direct charge at Chris?
“I forgive you destroying my carriage and disrespecting me. You’re being emotional. But that should end now!” Chris ordered.
I wished Camilla will listen. Stepping down, I gestured to her not to react further but she was adamant.
“You’re a jerk! Are you so scared of my Alpha that you plan with a Lycan to kill her? Why not dare do it yourself…”
“You keep talking!” Edwin yelled at her. “Don’t you see his face! He was taken by surprise by the Lycan while Your Alpha was playing hero!”
She barked back. “You, shut the hell up when I speak!”
“Why! We’re both Deltas. If you don’t want me disrespecting your Alpha, don’t disrespect my Alpha!” Edwin argued.
This was getting interesting, as much as I didn’t like it. My wolf came closer to enjoy the scene.
“Camilla! Edwin! Please stop.” I raised my voice since Chris wouldn’t speak again. “Rihanna needs rest, your shouts would wake her up…”
“Then she should wake and return with her Delta. What happened was no one’s fault. She should’ve retreated. We had a plan.” Edwin said.
He was becoming infuriating. Chris’s silence too. Ray not interfering was understandable as the victim was his sister and offender, his Alpha.
“Why not wait till Rihanna awakes?” I suggested. Then she’d defend herself.
Camilla nodded and I never felt so glad she was agreeing.
“Till then, Chris stays at Silver Pack to answer to my Alpha when she awakes.”
Wait, she was joking right?
Chris finally reacted with a chuckle.
I agreed, that was humorous. “Camilla, don’t do this.”
I pleaded but she boldly walked up to him. “You are coming with me.”
“Take me with you then.” He smirked.
She lifted her hand to hold him but I held it. “Camilla, you know this won’t end well.”
“My Alpha is paralyzed and he walks scot-free when he caused it? I don’t care if it ends well.” she shoved my arms away.
Rihanna wasn’t paralyzed yet.
She pulled Chris by the arm but he sent her flying back, with a punch. Ray attempted helping her but held himself.
I panicked, as she grunted in pain. “Chris, please, don’t engage her…”
“Don’t engage me, either, Alpha Jaden.” Chris interrupted, going down to meet her.
My mind link was tugged on at that point, I released it. “Ralph, Camilla is fighting with Chris and I don’t know…” I trailed off.
“He won’t hurt her.” Ralph replied, confidently.
What made him think so? Chris wouldn’t care about her. And he just hit her again. Now, his claws popped out.
“You don’t think the scar on my face is proof. I’d give you one to contend with ” he told her, raising his hands to her.
Camilla smirked. “If you are so powerful, why ask for my Alpha’s help to meet a Lycan?”
It will be in her best interest if she stopped talking.
As Chris’s hand came down, a figure zapped past me, Edwin, and towards Chris.
I blinked severally, before gawking at the scene in front of me.
It was Rihanna, holding up Chris’s hands from touching Camilla. How did she get up?
“If you don’t put it down, I’d break it!” She barked. Chris’s eyes were still on her Delta.
Rihanna’s eyes shone, a surprising color, burning red. She bent his hands down, much to Chris amazement.
He pushed her back, but Ray reacted before I could. “Chris, hold it there.”
Rihanna smirked. “No, he should try to finish what the Lycan started. I’d handle you later.”
Wait, was she confirming what Camilla said?
“I didn’t plan for the Lycan to kill you! Stop being childish!” Chris yelled.
“Alright, we’d see who’s childish when next we meet.” she nodded at her words.
She pulled Camilla up and in a second they both sped away, disappearing into the forest.
