Chapter Hundred and Twenty-Nine – Doesn’t like you.
Jaden’s POV
It’s been three days and no attack from Logan.
The Blue Bloom Alpha was married, Chris’s sight had been restored and Rihanna was fully healed from her last fight.
Good news were everywhere and should put wolfs at peace, but a new found discovery gloomed down the joy that should be felt.
Ever since I read Chris’s letter to all packs about Logan’s actual intentions, I lost my appetite.
We were talking about an extinction of wolfs.
That was what Logan had in mind for us.
And he wanted to use the protector to do that.
According to Red Moon, there was a way to achieve that.
I wonder why the Silver Wolf’s energy couldn’t give her immortality but will give a Lycan when he’d steal it.
It was the transfer of energy Logan suggested to Rihanna earlier. Acting like he needed energy to heal himself all along when it was to kill us.
Rihanna confirmed that he confessed to never being sick but to use her to kill Chris. But it was obviously more than Chris but the whole wolfs.
I wondered how she was faring. She was the literal savior of the wolfs in the prophecy not the cause of their doom.
Now, we the Alphas, had to protect her and make sure she never fell on Logan’s sight.
Then, who’d fulfill the prophecy if she’s in hiding? So many questions!
“Don’t forget that the prophecy also spoke of the Silver Wolf’s mate so we had a role to play.” My wolf remarked.
“Which was?” I enquired, low-key glad he was talking after being shocked by Chris’ letter.
“Perhaps to singly kill Logan. Chris and Rih had got personal fights with him. Last time we did, Rih made us let him go.” My wolf responded.
That was a fact but I didn’t know how to go about it. He avoided me like a plague.
I didn’t even get why, he should owe my mother a grudge.
Even my uncles showed fear and caution when they sensed him coming.
But when he came, he only made one cowardly attack and was never seen again.
I was glad, but still felt bothered by the silence. Was he brewing something worse for us or that was only what he was giving, silence?
“My uncles seemed to know a bit about him. If he and my mother had a confrontation in the days, they should know about it.”
“You aren’t going to meet those men, are you?” my wolf became annoyed. I had a good level of detest for them too but I need answers.
I left my bed, wearing only trousers. It’s evening so all warriors will be at their posts, female and male.
The door of the courtroom, which was linked to my bedroom, closed suddenly. It echoed loudly.
I sighed, brushing my hand through my hair from the recent frustrations. When I turned, my breathing hitched before releasing.
My hands were still on my hair before I dropped it and used them to cover my bare chest.
“Princess Vanessa.” I made a small bow.
Her eyes trailed down my torso in an impolite manner, she met my gaze and smiled. “Hi there.”
My lips curled to a frown. Did she have to stare so brazenly? “Yes, do sit.” I gestured as she sat on the visitor’s lounge.
My mind link immediately went searching for Jonah. Where was he when his mate was breaking into my courtroom!
“Logan is still out there, why did you come all the way here?” I tried to engage her while searching for her mate.
“Oh, never mind. My brother said he sent Logan really fatal grenades before leaving. They either killed him or badly injured him.” She boasted.
Was that why there was no sign of Logan? That was impressive. I nodded. “Your brother was really risking it all for his people.”
“Yes, he tried. And I’m here also, risking it all because my letter was left not replied.” She raised a brow.
She wrote a letter?
“The letter wasn’t addressed to me, was it?” I got worried because for the last few days, I’ve not checked the reports and letters on my table.
She shook her head and I felt relieved.
I couldn’t get Jonah and when I felt I did for a split second, he blocked the connection. How dare he? He must be aware she was here then.
“It was to my mate, Jonah.” She forced a smile. “Maybe, it didn’t get to him, right?”
I watched her eyes moisten a bit, she looked down. “Maybe, I’d been quite bratty when asking him to take off the necklace that day.”
“Necklace?” my brows raised.
“On the day I figured we’re mates, he had worn a necklace that’d counter it. I’d been loud about it. Maybe that’s why he hates me.” She sniffed.
My heart ached for her, she felt she was going to be rejected but I knew it wasn’t like that.
Jonah had play boy tendencies and being loyal, especially to someone he deemed bratty, would be hard for him.
He once said he didn’t want a mate, unless it was someone who pulled his attention well. Vanessa wasn’t one.
And the only wolfesses I had seen him going all in for was his mother, mine and now Rihanna.
Vanessa wasn’t like either of them and Jonah couldn’t get either of them, they were all older than him and not his mates.
“Princess, I’m really sorry you feel that way but I know Jonah and…”
“No, don’t say he doesn’t hate me. I know he does.” She interfered.
I shook my head. “I wasn’t about saying he doesn’t hate you…”
She snapped her head at me. “He does, right?”
“He doesn’t hate you but he doesn’t like you either.” I saw her eyes dilate.
I added. “Honestly, you aren’t his type. And he heard about how lackadaisical and wicked you are to maids and non royalties.” I confessed.
Her fingers clasped between each other, like she was holding herself from crying.
I didn’t want a Princess crying here so I stopped, searching for Jonah again. I felt Ralph close and called on him immediately.
“But either way, Princess. Try to talk to him, there’s a reason you are his mate. I hope you two find it.” I added, leaving the courtroom.
“Oh and My Beta would host you while you are here.” I said, before passing through the door.
A breath of fresh air swam over me as I left that awkward place.
Borrowing a shirt from warriors, in case I met another wolfess, I rushed to my uncles’ mansion.
Let’s get to the bottom of Logan, surely there was something he wasn’t telling us.
