Chapter Hundred and Fifty-Two – Flirting.
Rihanna’s POV
After a day’s rest, my heavy head felt lighter but my heart was still heavy.
Logan was a problem again and kept creating more for me.
He had leveled up and since I was yet to, it was high time I searched for help professionally.
Lycan hunters weren’t here as months back, there was no whisper of a Lycan being around us.
We didn’t have a surrounding kingdom or pack we could ask either. Except we cross the seven seas.
And hearing that Lycans are at other kingdoms, made we wonder how they’re living normally with other wolfs.
A sigh left my lips. “Something have to be done about Logan and fast. The hit Liam gave him would soon wear off and he’d want revenge.”
The door to my courtroom opened and Dara crawled inside.
I wasn’t on the big chair at the middle but just sitting on a staircase so she didn’t see me.
She steadily creeped to the table of letters and began searching for one. I watched her, leaving the staircase to get closer.
“Yes, here it is.” She grabbed an oddly pink letter and began opening it. “That douchebag really addressed it to me!”
Her hand clenched around the sword on her waist so I rushed to her. “Who’s about to die?”
She was startled but then stretched the letter to me. “Jaden had told you about a prank someone made, right? The boy came again.”
My face squeezed. That Lycan was playing around my borders? Well, I’d cut him slack for saving my ass.
“He said he doesn’t like me so what’s he doing here?” I took the letter to read.
“Well, he didn’t come for you. I told a warrior to be in charge and a second she was, he gave her a letter. For me! How dare he!” Dara screamed.
My eyebrows kept rising, till it’s limit, while I read the letter. “If I don’t know better, I’d say he’s trying to flirt with you.”
In reality, there was no way he’s flirting cause they barely knew each other and flirting with a stranger was inappropriate.
Or did he think she was that cheap?
Dara shook her head. “He actually is. And his head will go for that!”
She tried to stomp off but I held her back. I won’t tell her that the guy was a Lycan but I’d surely not let her go try him.
“Ignore. Tell the warriors to ignore if he comes around. He’s a friend to Jaden and is new around here. Let him live.” I pleaded.
My fingers enclosed around the letter and folded it to a ball. “Don’t worry.”
With steady steps, I returned back to the staircase where I’ve been, thinking about my next plans.
I plopped down heavily on the hard marble that my butt hurt for a minute. Dara had noticed my demotivated movements.
“Is this about Logan? Well, you weren’t able to get him this time but they’d always be another. Each time, you’d get stronger and…”
“So would he. He is getting stronger too Dara and I can’t level up that much.” I interrupted.
She blinked then exasperated. “You are the one meant to destroy him, you’d figure it out.”
I hope I do. The prophecy didn’t say how long it’d take because I’m pretty sure it’d take a while to get my head wrapped over this.
“Well till I get idea idea on ending Logan without hurting anyone else, let me overthink in peace.” I held my chin with my propped hands.
My lead warrior gazed at me for a while. “Alright, let me give you something to laugh about.”
Dara sat down besides me, facing me. She pulled my chin to face her as well.
“I just got information from Black Hills that was hidden but our spy finally caught it.” She started.
“I thought you removed the spy from Black Hills? You planted another one?” I grinned.
Dara nodded. “Yeah, we can’t have no eyes and ears in that pack. Anyway, guess which pregnant lady fell down the stairs?”
I smirked, I didn’t know much pregnant ladies so it had to be Sasha. My smirk fell. She fell down the stairs? Isn’t she still pregnant?
“Um… that’s dangerous, isn’t it? How badly did she fall? A fall or a slip?” I asked worriedly.
How could that girl be so careless even as a soon-to-be mother? Things weren’t just about her anymore but her baby too!
“She was trying to beat up a maid when she was accidentally pushed by the maid down the stairs.” Dara chuckled.
If it was only Sasha then it’d be funny to me. That girl always tried to bully people she assumed higher than her.
“I’m glad that maid stood up for herself. They are chances that wasn’t an accident.” Dara added. “Sasha had really met her match.”
“How is she though? I don’t care, just want to know.” I’m concerned for the child.
“She bled from her insides. Guess something was wrecked up in there.” Dara chuckled again.
My eyes widened in horror. Sasha bleeding should mean something dangerous. “How was that funny? Is her baby okay!”
My lead warrior stopped chuckling after I raised my voice, she shook her head in the negative. “Nothing happened to the baby.”
I gasped in relief. When she had shaken her head, it made me assume something did happen.
“Well, that soon-to-be mother have to be careful. The baby is already unlucky to have her as a mom, she should be a little responsible too.”
As said those words, I expected Dara to agree with me but she stared at me blankly.
“What? You don’t think the child’s unlucky? Was that too harsh?” I hadn’t given it much thoughts.
“Not that. The child would be disappointed to see his mom but I’m stunned that you care about the child.” My lead warrior replied.
I folded my arms on my chest. “Why shouldn’t I? He’s my ‘Alpha King’s’ son.” There was a little mock emphasis on ‘Alpha King’s’.
Also the boy had done nothing to me, yet. He’s parents may not be my favorite persons but I was tied to them.
“Well, Sasha didn’t replace you but her new son could affect the prophecy. I feel Chris secretly wants his son to snatch the Kingdom.”
What was she getting at now?
“You know Chris should have been your mate, and the Alpha King, but he made a mistake. I bet he had been regretting it.”
As he should! But I was beyond him now.
I scratched my head briefly and pursed my lips. “Dara, where are you going with all of these?”
