Chapter Twenty-Seven – Two Your Silvers.Jaden’s POV I recounted the hunters, they were complete, and strangely didn’t even look like they had been in captivity. Coming closer to them, I perceived the subtle stench of sweat and grime. Your Silver might have allowed them get a quick bath. “Report, where were you kept while in Your Silver’s captivity? Do you know where it is?” that place should be at the end of the world. No one had ever seen it, and lived anyway. “Not at all, Alpha. It was a prison, we don’t know where it is. We were returned in a carriage, and only came out when it stopped moving.” I cocked my head. “The driver of the carriage stopped you guys half way?” “She did, I think it’s because she didn’t want to come close to our Pack or something.” My Beta, Ralph, besides me huffed. “Well, that’s good. Unlike the other silver wolf that dared fight our men here.” I turned to him and smiled. That silver wolf could be Your Silver’s sibling or a close ally, the way Jake
Chapter Twenty-Eight – Boots and Rivers. Jaden’s POV Beta Ralph returned from the palm reader’s shop holding up a card, he stopped in front of me and showed it to me. “It says I won’t live long.” I dragged it from him and ripped it apart. “Don’t say that, why believe in this nonsense? What did the palm reader say about the missing boy?” “He had met her, the palm reader, and asked if he was to find his mate soon.” Ralph grinned. A look of disappointment was etched on my face. “Not about his future as a warrior?” “Apparently, his mate was more important to him than that.” Ralph smirked. “She said he saw her though but they argued.” “That’s weird.” I frowned. Ralph and I were standing in the middle of the Boots and Rivers Market, many wolfs passed by us. How'd he have found his mate seconds after being told he’d see her? And he disappeared too? Could it be he was with the girl? “What if he left with the girl?” I spoke my thoughts out loud. “I asked that too but the re
Chapter Twenty-Nine – She rejected him. Rihanna’s POV The boy we seized was the Beta’s in-law and the Black Rose Alpha and Beta came looking for him. I was trying to avoid annoying that Alpha but fate had a different way to punish me. I asked the wolf that checked if she was sure. Greta nodded. “The Beta and Alpha were reported to have gone to look for him. Do you want me to take a run out again?” A hidden smirk was on her lips. She was looking for an excuse to run out again. “You seem like you enjoy running there, I used to do so too, I told you it would be fun. To clear your stubborn head.” I teased, meaning it a bit. She smiled, looking down. “Well, don’t worry. They shouldn’t see you, just stay in.” I added. She nodded and left. I turned to Jean, who had fear and sadness in her brown eyes. When she had caught her mate’s scent in here, I assumed she’d be mad at me for catching him but she was happy. She only felt sad when he began threatening that his in-law, who
Chapter Thirty – The necklace.Chris's POVDelta Jonah raised his hands again and the maid came towards him, he whispered something to her and her eyes widened. Jake Justin only smiled. What was going on with them? Since they came they’ve been avoiding my family. Especially Vanessa. I had been trying to get them to talk but after nearly introducing her to Delta Jonah and he ran off, I stopped trying. “I hope you are enjoying the food.” I broke the lingering silence amongst us. Jake Justin rose his head from his food and looked at me. “It’s good. The meat will be better if sundried, and whipped with the dry wind of rose valley, getting the scent of roses.” “You dry meat in a rose valley?” I asked, stunned.Delta Jonah nodded, smiling. “Not really, it’s just that warriors who guard the valley sometimes dry meat there to pass time.” “I stay there a lot, under the sun, with my Alpha. That’s why Black Rose warriors are not a piece of cake.” Jake boasted, munching on food. I was pai
Chapter Thirty-One – It.Chris POVMy forehead creased. They were mates? Or she wanted to be sure? “Alpha, I don’t know what the princess needs but we really need to be on our way. If she wants, we can send her a gift of the relic later…” “The relic is precious to Black Rose, no outsider can own it.” The Delta raised his voice at Jake, who shut down. So he had such bad temper? “You insulted my sister with your words, Jonah. Would it take anything from you to take off the necklace?” He sighed. “Since you will it, I shall obey.” He made a small bow, before glaring at Vanessa. He took off the necklace. “Did I become a ghost?” Jake laughed and I sighed. Nothing happened after he took it off. What was Vanessa going at? The expectations in her eyes died but revived again when she saw the necklace in his hands. “Give the necklace to Jake. I want you to have nothing to do with the necklace.” Vanessa should stop. “I don’t want anything to do with you, either.” Jonah snapped. What did
Chapter Thirty-Two – He deserves better.Rihanna’s POV Lana seethed glaring at the direction Chris had gone through. I tried to calm her down, there was no need chasing after him. I’d only get myself exposed or injured but surely not killed. He had hesitation when handling me, I suspect I still had the scent of Black Hills. Dara mind linked to me if the warriors should return. I affirmed. “Today’s training should end. That Alpha has destroyed my mood.” Camilla, in her wolf form, crawled towards me. I was still facing the path Chris had ran through. What had made him leave his palace? “Tell me you know why he came this far?” I asked Camilla. “Information I got from the palace, was that the Alpha was chasing after Jake and the Delta. They were on their way home.” She said. Chase them? Did they have an argument? “Are they home then? Does Chris really don’t know the way to Black Rose that he came to us?” it was just pissing. I was just getting Lana to forget about avenging him a
Chapter Thirty-Three – Dared to attack.Rihanna’s POVIt’s totally valid that Delta Jonah rather die than be with Vanessa but that should only be by quotes, not actions.I followed behind him boldly, not caring about him seeing me, he didn’t know exactly where I came from and if he did, he wouldn’t tell. “So, what does this river do exactly? Remove memory?” he dropped his lantern on the river bank and I saw a bottle in his hands. “Oh, he was trying to get some of the river water?” I smiled. “Ahh, that makes more sense.” Another myth on the river was that one two lovers tried to drowning themselves because their parents didn’t approve of their love. They were saved but forgot about each other, it made both parents happy and people began taking the water to forget painful memories. “But the river had wolfsbane and silver? Is it safe to drink?” I wondered again, while watching Jonah scoop the river water into the bottle. Well, the person he’d likely give it to will be Vanessa to ma
Chapter Thirty-Four – She feared Karma.Chris POVWhen I returned to the palace, Ray was already with Vanessa. She had explained every of her suspicions and Ray had a doubtful look. Jake was his friend, he better have a good excuse for him. And hadn’t he wished Delta Jonah doesn’t find his mate here? What was wrong with that! “Alpha, are you okay? You left the palace without the guards?” he rushed to me. I shoved his hands away when he tried helping me to a seat. “I am okay, I’m not a baby!” It wasn’t like I was limping or anything, just breathing heavily from my encounter with Your Silver and his warriors. That was another problem on it’s own, one I’d like to handle personally. Ray took his hand back and looked down keeping a distance from me. I regretted my reaction. “I will handle the issue with Black Rose, My King. Rest assured, Princess.” He looked from me to Vanessa. He was being formal but whatever. “Handle it before it gets to my father, he wouldn’t take it likely.”
