Chapter Hundred and Eighty-Two – His Mate.
Chris’s POV
This was a solid win. Logan lost this time.
My Luna was still sure that her dream had good chances of happening.
I almost wondered if she actually wanted it to.
Ray was recuperating but he might not be active as Beta for a while. The hit he got was much and needed valuable rest.
I needed the valuable rest, as well.
But I was stationed at the border, just watching out, in case Logan dropped by.
My heart broke to a million pieces when Your Silver wrote to me that Logan hadn’t been killed and had ambushed her.
The beast had even given Jaden a quiz that made him want to bring his mother. I wondered what it was but she didn’t give full detail.
What if that Logan was stalling? Or he needed Jaden’s mother to return so he’d kill her?
Either ways, I didn’t think engaging Logan was right. However, Jaden has his reason for wanting to engage him.
Maybe he suspects himself or he wondered the same things. I sighed. Logan was something.
The warriors parading in front of me began slowing down and I gestured for them to rest.
A new set began parading around the border.
I sighed again, today was going slowly.
Edwin strolled to me, hands behind, with red cheeks. My lidded eyes glazed over him before returning to the warriors in front of me.
“I’ve been noticing you wanted to tell me something since yesterday.” I started as he sat besides me.
He stared at nothing in front of him. Whenever he did that, he had either made a mistake or was faced with a situation he couldn’t fathom.
“What is it? And please, let it be a good news.”
Edwin turned to me, then blurted. “I found my mate yesterday.”
I glanced at him then sat up straight. “You did?”
When did he get the chance to? He didn’t go anywhere special yesterday. I tilted my head. “Why were you hesitant to tell me?”
He blinked, then looked down. “Because when she figured I was her mate she… looked away.”
Oh no, not again.
I wrapped my hand around him. “You know you’re a good looking young man, so her reason wouldn’t be you not being attractive.”
He had a small smile but still looked worried. “I don’t know.”
He didn’t know what? Did he feel they wouldn’t work out as well? Why were people I care about being disadvantaged in terms of mates?
“What pack is she from?” I asked, even if I knew it’d be from Black Rose as that was where he had stayed.
“Silver Pack. She’s a warrior, second to Dara, I guess.” He muttered.
Silver Pack? How did he get there?
“Why were you there?”
He replied. “I went there with Jake and Jonah, they thought you guys would stop by there first.”
We had.
“Then Jake remembered his pack was empty with no one to defend. I felt down as she looked away so I decided to stay back.” He continued.
A warrior from Silver Pack? Possibly a former slave. The moon goddess was tricky.
“She would be quite difficult. They are loyal to their Alpha and may not want to leave the pack.”
I figured I wasn’t helping as he pressed his hands together, breathing heavily.
“But, my relationship with their Alpha and Dara is better now. I can ask Beatrice too. You can be with your mate.” I swiftly added.
At least, even if I don’t get to have a second mate, let all around me be happy. It’d be more than enough.
“Thank you.” He whispered.
It must’ve given him a scare. I patted his back. “Don’t worry, if you want, we’d go see her.”
I didn’t mean it, my legs were still healing and I’d like to rest. But he jumped at the opportunity. “Okay, I’d prepare. What should I prepare?”
I shook my head.
“Nothing? I should get nothing?” he cocked his eyebrows.
I sighed. “I mean, do you really want to see her now? Like right now?”
Chasing a mate shouldn’t be the reason to go to Silver Pack with everything happening now.
“But you just said we could.” He looked displeased. Damn, he must hate me now.
I flung my hand in the air, regretting the words I would say. “Fine, let’s go. Buy a hair pin, not to extravagant though. And tell no one.”
He flew off before hearing the last part but I doubt he’d go about talking about it.
When he returned, he was with our horses. My eyes rolled as I climbed atop it.
Hopefully, no drama happened today. I’d really appreciate it if the day just went by smoothly.
“So tell me, when do you want the wedding to be? A wedding would be a good way to celebrate after Ralph’s death.” I said.
His cheeks reddened and he smirked. “If that’s happening, let it be after Logan’s death. It would make it a worthy celebration.”
He was right. Smaller packs would be scared to their bones to try attending while Logan was running free. “That will be arranged then.”
“You have no idea what this girl’s name is?” I asked him when we crossed the border.
His horse started galloping. “No idea, Alpha. I don’t think I’ve seen her there before but she’s really close to Dara.”
They were few warriors I’ve seen Dara with. Even then, I never knew their names.
“We’d know when we get there. And Your Silver should know that Ray was recuperating.”
The horses grew faster and faster and soon we were speeding in the forests breaking twigs and causing the small animals in the forest to flee.
I felt a familiar energy running with us, closely. I smiled. “Liam! What are you doing here?”
Edwin’s lips curled in disgust. “Him again?”
“Oh hello, Delta of Black Hills!” Liam appeared closer with a big grin. “I’m on my way to Silver Pack, they’ve really pretty warriors. And you?”
Edwin’s hold on his horse reins tightened as Liam called all the warriors pretty.
“Oh, do you know all their names?” I asked.
He chuckled. “They are more than a hundred. How could I? I only know Jean and Dara.”
I had met Jean. Cara once complained about her and how she was stubborn. I wondered if that was Edwin’s mate.
The path to Silver Pack became close and Liam slowed down. “I don’t usually get in, just stay at the border and bother Dara.”
Why didn’t he? I shrugged. “Fine, thanks for the help last time. Edwin forgives you for last time.”
He glanced at my Delta who gave him a side eye. “Oh, I hope he does.” he backed away.
We arrived at Silver Pack’s border.
