Chapter Hundred and Forty-Three – Planning.
Jaden’s POV
After few minutes, I arrived at Silver pack. I made sure Liam didn’t follow me, even if he must have known here already.
The question on if Hunter had anything to do with Logan bothered me.
And not because it was harmful to my mate, but also harmful to the boy. He may not know what was happening to him.
At the border, I met Dara and over five warriors. Why were they tightening the border?
“Did you receive the threatening message too?” she ran to me when she sighted me.
“What threatening message?” Had Logan showed up again.
“Oh, umm… our Alpha got a letter from one Fuerza, saying to release their father. Bad spellings and all.”
Fuerza? If it was to release their father, then it had to be Liam. I smiled.
“Not to worry, it’s really nothing serious. She’s inside?” I was referring to Rihanna.
Dara nodded firmly. “She’s in a bad mood as Logan hadn’t showed yet but sure, go see her.”
That sounded like I shouldn’t but if Logan wasn’t showing up, we’d have to look for him. We can’t keep wasting time.
I strolled in, brushing my hair back as I became conscious of my appearance.
“No, no, let him come. I’d kill him!” I heard Rihanna shout.
Was it about Liam’s letter? Poor kid.
She smiled when she saw me. “Oh Alpha Jaden, you stopped by? Welcome.”
Beatrice had a small injury on her head, she looked down and gave me a slight bow.
“Did something happen? You said you were going to kill someone?” I asked.
“Oh yes. A boy I saved from that last rogue attack. What’s his stupid name again?” she snapped her fingers, prancing round.
I made myself comfortable on a seat her without permission. She must be really annoyed but looked cute with her down turned lips.
“Ah! Mi Destino! He ran away after setting my Beta up. I’d kill him if he returns!” she scoffed.
Beatrice sighed. “Anyway, I’d go check on Hunter. He caught a fever. I don’t know if it’s to celebrate a week of shifting.” She chuckled.
As she walked away, I sat up, waiting for her to be out of earshot before I spoke about her son.
When I looked at Rihanna, I found her gaze on me. I looked away. “What?”
“Well you wanted to say something. Are you waiting for Beatrice to be gone?”
“Yeah, it’s about Hunter.”
“Why can’t she hear it?”
“She’d be worried.” I shifted closer to her. “I think Logan is controlling Hunter’s wolf.”
Her eyebrows pulled together in a scowl. “He was? How?”
“Well, the wolf was always around Logan. And all the distractions he caused were to Logan’s favor.” I explained, hoping it made sense.
Rihanna’s eyes widened, she looked outside the door then inched closer to me.
Her scent flooded my nostrils and I backed away, feeling giddy with tingles sparking all over.
I bet she didn’t notice as she came closer again, she wanted to whisper. “Beatrice shouldn’t know. We’d go with Hunter and monitor him.”
I nodded, shifting back so I’d be comfortable.
She mistook my withdrawal for disagreement and further asked. “Or else, how do you think we should go about this? He’s just a boy.”
That was my point exactly, he was just a boy! Logan was really bad if he was manipulating him in any way.
“I agree but, we can confront Logan without taking Hunter with us. Let’s just keep him where Logan wouldn’t be able to use.” I suggested.
She sprang up from her seat and opened a drawer. “I’d tell Jean to let Hunter sleep with other warriors tonight.”
As I stood up, I noticed a letter, squeezed and dirt on the floor. Perhaps Liam’s letter.
“And Rihanna, that threatening message earlier. It was a… let’s say, prank, from a kid I know. Don’t worry about it.”
She snapped her head to me. “Prank? I had security tightened because of it. Which kid?”
I didn’t want her knowing the details so I smiled it off. “Don’t worry. It wouldn’t happen again.”
She sighed in relief then took out a bottle from the drawer. “This will come in handy!”
It must be the surprise Ralph told me he saw my mate buy when he went to the Boots and Rivers market. “I hope we find Logan.”
“I have a clue on where to get him. He can’t keep changing hideouts all the time so he’s reshuffling them.” Rihanna explained.
Reshuffling? How many hideouts did he have to reshuffle? One at Red Moon had been deserted.
The one besides Black Hills was were the last fight happened. Where else?
“Somewhere between Black Hills and Blue Fire!” Rihanna announced.
What? Such place existed?
Blue Fire was around a volcano, no one lived between the hills or the volcano. There was no way to stay alive.
“It isn’t much but yeah, that’s where a homeless wolf, looking for a strong and less conspicuous place, will stay.”
Perhaps. “Let’s go then! Lead the way Alpha!”
She chortled softly and it was beautiful. “Okay.”
My contact with Liam was making me scream every word but if it produced such a reaction from my mate then I didn’t mind.
“Camilla, I’m off! Wish me luck!” she told her Delta, then made a peace sign. Camilla did same.
But I didn’t even tell my brother, Beta or Delta where I was off to now before leaving. Even Ralph’s brother wasn’t aware.
Rihanna and I left Silver Pack and started a trail to Blue Fire.
“Should we let the Alpha know we are stopping by? And invite him to help?” I asked her.
“No. I said the place is between Blue Fire and Black Hills, an abandoned part, not within his pack. Also the less, the merrier.” she smirked.
She must be really looking forward to killing Logan. It was late and I didn’t feel up for it.
But I forced myself to because I needed to survive that night and protect my mate.
“Let’s speed this up, shall we?” I dashed ahead, creating a gap from her.
She ran as well, but didn’t add much speed, while monitoring her environment.
We both didn’t know where we were heading to but I knew it had to be around a volcano.
I slowed down waiting for her. “Is that how much you can run, I expected more from Your Silver.” I teased her.
She was in a serious mode and didn’t get catch the tease. “I’m checking for the volcano!”
“Yeah right.” I quipped. “So much for Your Silver being as fast as the wind, the rumors were overrated.”
She must have caught I was trying to annoy her as her lips curled to a smirk. “They weren’t.”
She sped past me. I laughed, seeing I got to her.
But before she left, I couldn’t help but notice her eyes glow a certain color, for a second, silver.
Was that normal for her kind?
