Chapter Ninety-Five – Who is it?
Chris’s POV
Did Your Silver get her mate already? The supposed replacement on my throne?
Who was it?! I couldn’t let this happen? Was I about to be replaced?
Ray switched off his mind link before I could ask him who the lucky man was. He ended with “Okay.”
I was restless but stayed calm as I kmew he was already heading here.
“But what would I even do when I know her mate?” I wondered out loud. Was it to go on with my mother’s plan?
Black Hills had been a kingdom pack since my grandfather, why should that change now? But it was a prophecy, could I stop it?
“Am I to let it play on?” I wondered out loud again.
My wolf, Zeke, came closer to the surface as I sat on the throne. “What should we do?” I asked him.
“Play on, maybe. We defiled the moon goddess before. If this new Alpha King was worthy of the position, then we’d go along with it.” Zeke noted.
Was that how’d it be? I did get a chance but does that mean I’d lose out. For that one mistake?
I let my seat, a stubborn part of me didn’t want it ending like this even if Zeke was right.
We had annoyed the Moon goddess before and this should be a way to restore myself before her.
“Black Hills won’t be destroyed, just that they will be a new Alpha King. Don’t worry about it.” My wolf added.
I heaved a sigh of relief but another question popped up. What if he had no pack, does it mean he’d take over mine?
What was taking Ray so long. I needed answers and more advices before I’d make a mistake.
Just then the door opened and I ran towards it. But it was only my sister, Vanessa. I groaned in anger. “What do you want and where’s Ray!”
She kept on marching towards me, with disdain on her face. “I don’t know where Ray is. But I do want to know where Sasha is.”
I cooled my temper, gazing at her carefully. “I haven’t resolved the horsetail issue yet.”
“Yeah, it’s easier to save a princess from a Lycan and get an ugly scar than it was to find your pregnant Luna!” She fumed.
I looked down at hands, forcing out a laughter. “Don’t start with me, please. I will get back to it.”
She huffed, brushing past me towards the Luna seat. I turned and watched her mount herself on top of it. I bet lot of people wanted that seat.
“I don’t know why you haven’t dragged the perpetrator here yet but it better not be cos you are tolerating Rihanna!”
What kind of accusation was that?
“Oh was it cause you have your eyes on the Blue Bloom Princess?” she added. So she was just speculating nonsense?
“Tell me, are those the reasons you are forgetting Sasha?” she asked, slapping the arm cushion on the throne.
“That’s enough, Vanessa! I am not forgetting her! For one, she has my child in her womb.” I reminded.
She tilted her head.
“Then be more concerned. There’s a thing called miscarriage, and it happens when a pregnant lady is poorly taken care off.”
Was she threatening me? I exhaled, accepting my fate. “Yes, I’d be sending letters right now, after you get out, to Rihanna to investigate.”
“You better!” she rose from the Luna’s throne and strolled off through the inner door.
I sat back, at where she left, thinking of how all the females around me indirectly bullied by freewill to think.
My thoughts were converging and giving me a safe space but that was when Ray bounced inside.
There was never a safe space for an Alpha King. “Finally, you are here.”
I left the seat. “So what were you talking about? Your sister had a mate?”
The excitement I had about it died already.
“Yeah, I noticed during their last interaction when we had a meal at his pack. She’s my twin, and in a way, I notice her scent on someone.”
I nodded, not getting where he was getting but I hoped he’d fast forward to what this person’s name was.
“Also, when she was unconscious, he had reacted really concerned about her. And he visited her quite a lot.” Ray continued.
Why’s no image popping in my head on who this person was? The way Ray spoke about him, he must have assumed I know who he meant.
“Do you care to tell me who this is?”
He frowned, “Don’t you have a clue? You never suspected? Well, I think they are a good match, if she accepts him.”
Wait, she hadn’t accepted this person? Her ego was huge, why delay accepting her mate?
Could that be my fault in any way? Hadn’t she fully healed from her first rejection?
If that was the case, I was a bit glad I wasn’t the only one stuck on that. “Ray, who is her mate?” perhaps being direct will save me the tension.
Ray raised an eyebrow and thrust his chin upwards, “You really didn’t know? It’s Alpha Jaden of Black Rose!”
He sat on his chair besides me. “I’m stunned you didn’t notice. Even Jake was nicer when you visited, as he knew your ex is his bro’s now.”
Both my wolf and I were not expecting that answer. Rihanna got gifted an Alpha of Black Rose? How lucky could that bitch be!
Ray chatted about more things but my mind weren’t on them. Why didn’t I see this coming? My heart boiled but was still in peace.
Black Rose would be a Pack-Kingdom? That was huge, and honestly befitting. They had been once before.
And Jaden knew all the while, even the role of the Silver wolf’s mate in the prophecy but said nothing? He was either loyal or quite stuck up.
“The moon goddess is both a jerk and a master planner.” I seethed, trying to contain my anger.
Ray turned to me, cautiously. “Why?”
I glared at him. Wasn’t he aware of what this meant? “I’m surprised by the news. And you had said, ‘if she accepts him’. What’s that about?”
“Well, my sister, being the broken silver wolf, would feel careful and too valuable to be mated to a common Alpha.” Ray shrugged.
“What’s common about the Black Rose Alpha?” I smirked.
“Well, ask her not me.” He chuckled. “And it’s what I think. Maybe she just doesn’t want to be tied to the mate bond.”
Agreeing, I sighed heavily. “That could be it.”
“After all a wise man once told her that the mate bond makes one think they are in love.” He glances at me.
I was very aware those were my words.
Black Rose Alpha being the new Alpha would haunt me for days. This was a twist I wasn’t looking forward to.
“You know of the prophecy right?”
Ray nodded. “And believe me, I’m not so excited about it?”
Why wouldn’t he? It was his sister about to make history. He should be supportive.
“I kinda like being the Royal Beta.” He grinned.
That was his problem? I rolled my eyes.
I was losing the King title that we had for years. I couldn’t help but feel like a disappointment!
