Chapter Twenty-Four – Prepare again.Chris POVBeta Gaius glanced from me to Jake and then at Ray, “What allegations? What have I been accused with?” I threw the scroll on his feet so he could have a look. He hurriedly picked it up and his eyes widened while reading each line. He fell to his knees. “You had a spy in our pack, didn’t you, Jake?!” he snapped his head at Jake. “That’s a poor way to deflect an accusation, Gaius.” Ray smirked. “It seems you are guilty. And yes, Black Rose have spies everywhere.” Jake nodded, proudly. “Our specialty.” My forehead creased. Shouldn’t Ray be alarmed that Black Rose had a spy in each pack? He seemed rather chill with it. I should be as well, it’s not like I had anything to hide. “Very well, guards!” Two guards ran into the hall, and saluted.Ray hurried in front of me. “My King, I think we should settle the matter of the Lycan before throwing Gaius to prison!” Gaius glared at him. I never planned to throw Gaius in prison but out of my
Chapter Twenty-Five – My story.Rihanna’s POV The hunters of Black Rose were ready to go. Dara came out of the prison were the lead hunter had been and nodded to me. “It’s been done.” I smiled, walking towards the hunters. They shuddered in fear and it only added to my pride. “Your Silver releases you.” It was important to act like a second person as they’d likely report to their Alpha. They exhaled in relief, knowing they weren’t brought out to die. Their lead hunter was dragged out to meet them, looking drunk and speaking gibberish. Dara smiled as he came out. That was her duty, intoxicating him with drugs and miniature amounts of wolfsbane so what he'd say will be seen as a joke, including Your Silver being a female. I hoped Black Rose Alpha would fall for it. The last thing I needed was another Alpha, other than Red Moon’s Alpha, wanting me dead. Since Red Moon had a Lycan they wanted to exchange with me, in no time they could convince Chris to accept, I’d be severely wante
Chapter Twenty-Six – My story II.Rihanna’s POVAs expected, one of them came with a story like mine. Rejected at first glance, and it had to be the most insecure of them, Jean. Camilla said her mate was a Black Rose warrior who they met at the market, he rejected her the moment he saw the Your Silver logo on her. Was Black Rose Pack supposed to be hateful towards Your Silver’s warriors? We hadn’t done anything to them. We returned their hunters. “Camilla, steal that warrior.” I snapped my head to her, immediately. Her eyes widened but slowly dilated. “I should bring him here?” “Yes, go alone. Do it discretely. Let no one from his pack know Your Silver’s warriors took him.” “Very well, in chains and beaten, yes?” she asked again. Dara smiled, shaking her head. “Do you want Jean to hate you more? I think Your Silver just wants to talk to him.” Dara turned to me. “And please, talk nicely.”I could only shrug. I needed to know his deal, why where men this way? What did he have to
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
