Chapter Hundred and Twenty-One – Marriage.
Chris’s POV
My father didn’t confirm. He wasn’t quite sure.
But the chances of Logan being the Lycan the Black Rose Alpha once fought was real.
She had always taken wars on her own and that’s why she never succeeded. Like how Your Silver had been but she knew better now.
If the Black Rose Alpha had been more open, maybe Logan would never have existed now.
What did he want then? What did he want now?
No one was yet aware. He hated me, feared the Silver Wolf and raided all packs. But why?
It was more than just the derangement to see us unhappy. There’s other satisfaction he needed.
My father cleared his throat, alerting me of his presence. “I didn’t speak of the Lycan to make you worry. Just to alert you.”
“I am worrying already. If this Lycan was Logan then Logan has a big issue with us. But why’s he not facing Black Rose?”
If he had a problem with their former Alpha, why wasn’t he challenging them much? He had barely raided there. Not like I wanted him to.
“I doubt Jaden was aware of his mother fighting a Lycan before.”
My father shook his head. “You were a baby then. Jaden must have been a little boy.”
I frowned. Why’d I be a baby and Logan a little boy? “How old is Jaden?”
My father faced me. “Why does that matter? I’m not sure but I knew he was a boy as had visited.”
“He’s twenty-four! A year older than you while Jake is a year younger than you. I did a research once.” It was Vanessa walking in.
My father sighed in sync. She paused. “What? My presence is not needed?”
“You should be with your mate, Vanessa. I don’t know why you remain here.” I confessed.
She clenched her fists. “I’m useless as I’m not with my mate? And Rih? She isn’t with hers.”
My father jumped in. “Do you know if she has one? You do. Go start a family or friendship at least, it’s like you forgot him.”
My sister folded her arms, looking down. Her head shot up again. “Fine, I’d go see him. What ever embarrassment I suffer, it’s on you two.”
She came forward with a scroll and dropped it on me, then sat on a staircase by my side. “It came from Blue Bloom.”
I hurriedly opened it. Had they been attacked again? My eyes went through the letter in a hurry.
“The Alpha of Blue Bloom was inviting me to his marriage? That’s… fast.” I said.
My father grabbed the letter from me and read through. “He finally found his mate?”
I nodded. It seemed like. He was eighteen a year ago and elected Alpha but without a mate.
Was his mate only showing up after his sister’s death? Was this a reward for losing his sister?
The Moon Goddess was quite shitty.
“I should come, and share in the good thing happening to him.” I said again.
My father dropped the letter on me, getting up from the Luna seat he was on. “Yes, and let’s hope Logan doesn’t destroy it.”
My breathing hitched hearing that. We still didn’t know where Logan was.
What if he barged into this occasion?
“Chris should go with Rihanna then.” Vanessa suggested. “Why’s she here? If Logan targets Blue Bloom again, they wouldn’t survive it.”
My father strolled off after that. “Wishing the best. And Vanessa, really go see your mate, maybe your marriage will be the next.”
My sister rolled her eyes, getting up from where she sat. “As I’m useless here, I better go get married, right?” then walked off.
She was a funny character. Like she couldn’t still be useful while married.
I reread the letter on my thighs again. It seemed the Alpha found his mate after Logan’s attack.
Perhaps, his mate was a girl from Blue Fire who visited Blue Bloom to help them rebuild after Logan’s attack. It’d be a sweet love story.
I dropped the letter, it fell to the ground. I might never experience the spark of being with a mate.
Before the depressed feelings becloud me, I rushed out of the courtroom. I had heard sounds from outside earlier.
“Who’s there?” I asked, as I saw no one.
Someone hissed painfully and the smell of blood hit my nose. I ran to the back and saw Your Silver looking down at her injured leg.
She snapped her head up when she noticed me. “What?”
“What?” I asked back. “How’d you get injured?”
She kept her hands on her hips. “I don’t believe it’s your business, is it?”
As she wore a flowing gown, with her hair down, she didn’t look as intimidating as she used to.
I jumped down, shaking my head. “It isn’t but I want to know. You’re in my pack, after all.”
She looked down at her leg and I noticed a small pout in her lips. “I’m not telling.”
“Don’t tell me you were thrown stones while strolling around the pack.” I chuckled.
“Then you’d have heard that you lost a pack member.” She smirked.
My smile fell off. Why’d she dare.
“If you want to know, I climbed a hill I used to be at when I was younger, I forgot how high it was and fell.” she pointed ahead.
I followed her eye line. It was above the palace and besides the ballroom.
She usually stood there, behind the tree. It was a usual spot whenever they was an occasion.
I also remembered meeting her there on Vanessa’s birthday, I canceled those thoughts.
“You didn’t forget how high it was, it just grew higher over time. It’s been three years.”
She looked relieved knowing that and shrugged. “Yeah, maybe.”
“Do you need medications for….”
“It will heal.” She asserted. “Don’t try helping me. We are not friends.” She slid down and stayed on the ground.
I felt bad for the brightly colored dress. I exhaled loudly. “Very well. But know you’d be following me to Blue Bloom by tomorrow.”
“Why?”
“I was invited for the Alpha’s marriage. He finally found his mate.” I pronounced.
She raised a brow. “And you want me to come with you? Don’t you have a wife? Why me?”
“No, that’s not it.” My cheeks flushed for unknown reasons.
She scoffed. “Then why? Also, my warriors helped them when Logan attacked, so I’d surely get an invitation. Take your wife and let me be.”
The fact that it was Vanessa’s suggestion that was putting me in this awkward situation was belittling.
“Really, that’s not why. You aren’t coming as a… partner but in case Logan attacked again.”
She paused then turned to me with a smile. “Oh. But you should still go with your partner. I’m sure to be there, if I get the invitation.”
I nodded, backing away from her so as not to make any embarrassing statement.
“Wear something… feminine. It’s a wedding after.” I stated as my final words.
“So you’d stare?” she quipped.
I froze.
A snicker left her. “No, I’d wear something that’d let me fight. I’m there in case Logan shows up, isn’t it what you said?”
She strolled past me, brushing my shoulders as she passed.
Maybe in dresses, she didn’t look intimidating, but her words surely made me flushed. For unknown reasons.
