Chapter Hundred and Eighty-Four – The princess.
Jaden’s POV
Sun Burn Kingdom could blind a wolf if they stared too much because of how much gold.
The place had really changed.
I paused when I felt my legs on something. My eyes went down and I saw a doll. Two small eyes were on me.
I smiled, picking it up and handing it to the little girl. “Here, I’m sorry.”
She snatched the doll from me with a huff, then ran to a young lady that glared at me as well.
Perhaps the pack members of the Sun Burn Kingdom weren’t friendly to visitors.
I’d just mind my business and look for Sunny Day Motel, hopefully my mother would be there.
As I took a step forward, I felt an energy charge at me. It was a Lycan. I swerved to the right and the man fell on his face.
People began looking at us while I had no clue who the man was and why he charged at me.
“Hey! Who gave you that! Did you kidnap the prince?” the Lycan yelled, pointing at my hand.
My eyes widened aa I sighted the hand band on it. I placed my arm behind me. That was given to me by Liam, as a consolation gift.
Since he ran away from home, he’s still missing.
“I didn’t. Can’t I own one like this?” I asked.
He yelled back. “No! that was made by our princess herself. There’s no identical one!”
Why did Liam give me something that special to him? I took it out and tossed it to the man. “You can take it back.”
“Where did you get it?” a female’s voice asked.
I turned and met the eyes of a green eyed lady. She had long blonde hair in a pony tail.
With her royal regal, I could guess she was the Lycan princess, Liam’s mother. This was shit.
“How did you get access to it?” she rephrased.
More people had gathered around us as the princess was around. I sighed deeply.
“A friend of mine, Liam, he gave it to me when my brother died.” He explained.
Her eyes lowered on hearing of my brother’s death and understanding why her son had gifted me. “You can keep it then. But where’s he?”
“I have no idea.” It wasn’t a lie, I didn’t know where his motel was at. “He comes and goes.”
The Lycan looked at the princess and then me. “Where are you from? Where did you see him?”
Should I expose Liam like this? I glanced at the crowd. The princess didn’t seem so interested in that answer, perhaps she knew.
“At a pack, beyond the seven seas.” It was a vague response. I began leaving. “I’m sorry to bother you so I’d leave now.”
Another Lycan stepped before me, blocking me.
The princess signaled the crowd to disperse. What she planning now?
“You didn’t ask me how I knew him, which means you know who I am, don’t you?” she said, taking steps to me.
I rolled my eyes. Time wasn’t on my side to chat like this. “Yes, you’re his mother and he had run away from you to find his father.”
As I turned to meet her gaze, I noticed she looked stunned and fearful.
The other Lycans looked stunned as well and gave her questioning looks. “The King?”
Logan was their King. Didn’t they know he was alive or did she hide it after he ran mad?
“Well, that was what he said, but I doubt he found it.” I quickly added to protect her.
A Lycan pointed at me. “Don’t play with us. Since you know she’s the princess, tell where the prince is!”
His tone was irritating and aggravated my wolf. “I said, I don’t know!” I barked, and my eyes changed to red.
The Lycans stepped back while some held unto their swords. I looked down, scolding my wolf.
Starting a fight in this land wasn’t advisable.
“I’m sorry.” I told the princess. “But let me go. I’m looking for my mother now and we’d leave your land if you feel uncomfortable.”
She took careful steps towards me. “You are an Alpha and a Lycan. What pack are you from?”
I shut my eyes closed tightly. That was the last thing I wanted to unveil.
“Forget that, just know that Liam is safe and made friends. He’d return when he wants to.”
None of the Lycans reacted and backed away when I tried walking off.
“You are Black Rose Alpha.” The princess said.
I snapped my head at her. How did she know?
“My son has been meaning to see you. And no wonder he gifted you that hand band.” She stared at it. “Fine, I know where your mother is.”
Was she supposed to be with her? “Where?”
“You’d have to forgive me, she had been in my prison more than once. She has a temper but now understand it’s because she’s an Alpha.”
My fists clenched. “Where?” I repeated.
“Take him please. She’s currently confined in a room. Honestly, she liked it and says it’s better than paying for a motel.” The princess smiled.
An exasperated sigh left my lips as I strolled off with the warrior. The princess stayed back, staring at me till I was out of sight.
Her palace was classy and probably the only building with more blue than gold and yellow.
Inside, I was taken to a cell. It was neat and furnished. I peeked in and sighted a lady, lying on the bed and throwing grapes into her mouth.
I tried to break into her mind link. “You were busy embarrassing your pack, weren’t you?”
The lady sprang from the bed and snapped her head at the door.
It was really my mom. I smiled then wave.
The warrior, confirming she was the one I was here to see, began opening the cell.
My mother ran to the gate and held it back. “Wait, I want to stay here longer.”
What was wrong with her?
“Jaden, I need to see the prince of this kingdom. He’s a Lycan and I have to. Just wait a little bit.” She explained in mind link.
Wouldn’t the prince be Liam who was at Black Rose? “He’s at Black Rose right now. His name is Liam. Why?”
Her eyes enlarged, she met the warrior’s gaze and smirked. “Alright then. Let’s go!”
She kicked the gate with her legs and it broke, sending the warriors flying to the wall.
So she could have broken out since but stayed because of Liam? Was he the reason she caused trouble? “Mother, what are you up to now?”
She placed her finger on her mouth. “Shut up and follow your Alpha. I’d explain on the way.”
I gulped down saliva and sighed. That’s right, My ‘Alpha’ was back. I rolled my eyes.
