Chapter Hundred and Ninety-Two – A new rank.
Chris’s POV
Sasha was closer to delivery. The physician said she had about three weeks or a month to deliver.
My prayer to the moon goddess was it will be a safe delivery and Logan was gone before then.
I wanted to celebrate something in my life. She should be nice to me this once.
Also if Sasha gives birth, she’d be less irritable and easier to handle. She’d also be a better person, hopefully, as she’d be a mother.
I was seated outside after having my fill of yells and arguments. Vanessa was having hers now.
A maid served me a cold glass of juice and I smiled, the day was going quite well.
Till a guard ran into the courtroom as the maid walked out. “Alpha, Beta Ray wants to see you.”
“Let him in then.” I frowned. Did they need to ask me? But I remembered I had ordered them to not let any visitor see me. “Please, permit him.”
The guard nodded and walked off.
I adjusted myself on my throne, preparing for whatever news I’d be getting now.
Since Ray safely returned from Logan’s, he hadn’t been strong enough to engage in a conversation with anybody.
At least that was what Cara had been saying. Probably, she didn’t want us bothering him till he was fully better.
The door of the courtroom opened and Ray walked in. A smile came to my face.
My Beta changed his hairstyle. His hair was in a wolf cut and the back was longer than usual.
He resembled Rihanna better. “Raymond, how are you feeling now?”
“Wronged.” He replied.
My smile enlarged. Everyone felt wronged. Logan was still out there.
“Feel grateful too. Jake, Jonah, Beatrice, Jaden, your sister and I were what it took to defeat those Lycans and save you.” I said.
“That is wrong too. Why was Logan still alive? Why’s he growing more powerful? He should’ve been eliminated the moment he came?”
Did he forget it was his sister that saved Logan in a bid to disobey me?
But his point was still valid, we should’ve found anyway possible to eliminate Logan before he became so big a threat.
“Your sister made the mistake but it had opened our eyes to lots of things. Lycans tend to be deranged.” I snickered.
“Not tend. Are.” Ray scoffed. “Lycans are deranged.”
“I wouldn’t say so. Lycan is a rank, at least, for some Werewolfs. Recently Alpha Jaden broke that rank. He’s not deranged.” I said.
My Beta folded his arms, taking in all I said. “How did that happen? Lycans are just another specie to werewolfs, not a rank.”
He should argue that with the moon goddess but that’s what I knew. “Anyway, Jaden is our only hope to defeat Logan’s energy drain.”
Raymond nodded, “Yeah.” he fell on his seat and crossed his legs. “It had been on my mind since. Logan also unlocked a new rank.”
My forehead creased. That Lycan was still growing stronger? “At this point, he’d need an army of warriors to kill him.”
Ray smirked. “Probably. I don’t know what the rank is but when he spoke of it with the other Lycans, they were impressed.”
“Moon goddess!” I interjected, rubbing my head.
“I know right. It’s surely something dangerous.” Ray added. “I hope my sister can still kill him.”
She had to. Whatever Logan will be, she should always be stronger because she’s an incarnate to the moon goddess.
“He even said he’d avoid shifting so he wouldn’t kill Rihanna as he still needs her energy.” My Beta commented.
If that’s true then we should go back to our initial plan to keep the Silver Wolf from him?
Then who’d kill the Lycan? Maybe Jaden, he was Lycan too. And was a future Alpha King.
In actuality, he had the same rank with Logan. A Lycan Alpha King. Just not in similar contexts.
Ray and I stayed quiet, ranting in our thoughts.
Someone tugged on my mind link. It was my father, he must have been around the courtroom.
“Chris, Alpha Joanna has returned. She recently wrote to me, asking of my well being. Write back to her for me.” he instructed.
“Sure, father.” I replied and he walked away.
I smiled. My father was doing anything to not be back to the position of Alpha King.
It was very stressful and he knew.
If the former Alpha was back, Jaden must have gotten his answer. I awaited what it would be.
Another energy came close to the door. It was Edwin. I remembered the incident on his mate and immediately told Ray.
“While you were being tormented by Logan, Edwin found his mate, a warrior at Silver pack.”
“What? Really?” Ray’s eyes widened.
We were chatting through mind link so when Edwin walked in, he didn’t notice. He had a sulky expression and looked hesitant.
“Yeah, and as he looks now, that was how he looked when she didn’t want to speak with him.” I chuckled.
My Beta shook his head, “I missed it.”
Edwin came before me, the letter in his hand became visible. “You are needed in Blue Bloom.”
My humored expression faded. I was needed there? Something broke out. “Logan?” I snatched the letter from him.
“To save time in reading it, Logan attacked and is on the verge of destroying them. They need your help.” Edwin explained.
Ray rose to his feet but I raised my hand, “You aren’t coming. Write to Jaden and Rihanna, they should meet me at Blue Bloom.”
He argued. “But Chris…”
“Ray, stay back and rest. They are no Lycans now so they three can handle Logan.” Edwin remarked.
My Beta returned to his seat with a scowl. I nodded at Edwin and bolted out of the place.
Logan had appeared again before Jaden told his answer. That Lycan was very unconventional.
As I got closer to the border, Cara jumped to stop me. “Alpha, a report just came from Blue Bloom…”
“I am aware. Move!”
She stayed there spreading her hands. “Luna Sasha had instructed us to not let you leave.”
“What do you mean…?” I trailed off when the warriors around surrounded the border.
They were serious.
When I told Sasha to befriend Cara, I didn’t mean make her more loyal to her than to me.
“Wolfs are dying and you are…”
She cut me off. “A warrior had left to alert Alpha Jaden and Alpha Rihanna, they should handle it. Your safety is my priority, Alpha!”
My hands went to my hips. What was this now? I couldn’t beat up my warriors to leave. Should I go back?
