You Rejected A Silver Wolf

Chapter Hundred and Forty-One - Accomplice?

Jaden's POV

Ralph was sleeping on my right side on the Beta's seat, while Jonah had fallen asleep on the stairs. These men were technically my brothers, but I could be so ashamed of them sometimes.

Jake crept into the courtroom, closing the door gently behind him. He strolled toward me with his hand at his back.

"So, I made sure all the warriors, who weren't on duty, are asleep. The border warriors are doubled, and the princess is asleep," my brother reported.

I smiled broadly, nodding. "Thank you. And I made sure my two right-hand men slept instead of arguing about Jonah accepting Vanessa."

Jake shook his head, sitting on a step beside Jonah. "This kid was stubborn, very stubborn."

I knew that much. Like, Vanessa wasn't that bad.

A sigh left my lips as I soaked into my chair, once again enjoying the peace I felt. I glanced at Ralph, and small bags were under his eyes.

"He even began having eye bags thinking of his death," I mumbled to myself.

"Huh?" Jake raised his head.

I shook my head. "Nothing."

Jake rested back beside Jonah again.

The silence stretched for over twenty minutes when my wolf crept to the surface.

"Sorry to interrupt the peace we're both enjoying..."

I smirked. "Yeah, so what now?"

"Hunter. The little wolf. I can't help but feel his attraction to Logan is suspicious. I feel only his wolf can answer why."

We couldn't ask the wolf. "And why do you think his attraction to Logan is

'suspicious'? Pups are just attracted to power, right?"

I was brushing off the suggestion as I didn't want to start thinking again. I liked this state of silence and peace around me and in my head.

"Not like that. They look up to that power, not stalk it around or help it distract other wolves that hunt it. It's like an accomplice," my wolf said.

I stood up from my seat, initially hoping to escape my wolf's questioning but realized he was inside me. I fell back on my seat again. "So if the little pup, who should know nothing about Logan, is the accomplice of Logan... how did that happen?"

"As I said, the boy's wolf should answer that."

"And as you know, we can't ask the boy's wolf."

I groaned and then added, "Hunter can't even speak to his own wolf, so how'd we talk to the wolf?"

"Then we ask Logan, directly. Don't you worry that if Logan actually has a way of using the boy, Rihanna could be in danger?" my wolf lamented.

I rose from my seat again, worrying about that. But was I supposed to suspect an eight-year-old?

Indeed, I had tried to make his wolf connect with him and not be controlled by whatever, but it had been to no avail.

"You have a point. But I'm really not in the mood to leave for Silver Pack tonight. Last time, I went out late at night, I met..."

"You met Hunter! Now leave and check if there's any wolf you'd meet." My wolf chuckled, leaving the surface.

A loud sigh left my lips. I turned to see Jake, Ralph, and Jonah still asleep. I left them.

My warriors were puzzled to see me going out this late at night. I was puzzled that my wolf actually convinced me to do this.

With my head raised, signifying I wasn't answerable to them, I passed by the gate but was called back.

"Alpha!"

I halted, then spun around to meet Ralph's older brother. I had forgotten he had returned with his men to our gate. Whenever Ralph felt threatened by anything, he always called his big brother for help.

"Oh, hello. How are you?" I asked dismissively.

He jumped down from the height he was on. "It's quite late. Where are you off to?"

Did he have to ask? I looked down. "Just a stroll, actually. And get to wherever I can," I said, moving backward.

He kept taking steps forward, toward me. "Alpha, it's quite late, don't you think?"noveldrama

"Don't worry about..." I trailed off, sensing an energy around my pack. It was a strong

one.

"Stand back!" I pushed Ralph's brother back as something came flying toward him.

He made a backflip, dodging the tree branch that had been thrown. The warriors stood in defense.

I stood before them. "Who's that? You're intruding on Black Rose border!"

I felt the need to talk to this person because, while the energy seemed dangerous,

their actions didn't feel very threatening, but childish.

But then the energy was well-ranked, and his wolf had a darkness to it.

"Just trying to get your attention, Alpha Jaden! Big fan here!" a small voice screamed back in response from afar.

The border warriors brought down their weapons, looking confused. I turned to Ralph's brother, and he had an amused look.

"And no, I didn't cross the border yet!" the small voice shouted again. "But can I?"

The border warriors returned to their posts.

Was this a kid who got lost again while being chased by Logan, or was this just an annoying ass?

The last time I tried to help, my warriors were killed, and it turned out to be a distraction.

"Show yourself!" I ordered.

"Okay!” the small voice screamed again, and a gust of wind sped past me and past my

warriors.

Someone groaned in pain, and my claws extended. "How dare you attack..."

But when I looked, there was a blonde teenage boy whose claws were buried in a warrior's arm.

"I'm so sorry, Pedro can be a jerk sometimes." He took his claws out, and the warrior groaned again. "But I'm nice, and my name is Liam."

I pushed him away from the warriors, keeping them behind me. This boy was a Lycan! I sensed it. "What do you want, Liam?"

"You!" he replied quickly, but then he looked down and shook his head. "Your attention, actually."

I glanced at the warrior that had been injured, glaring at the boy. Ralph's brother's expression was blank.

"Go on, you have my attention, so use it while you do." I gestured.

"Sure." Liam smiled, but it soon fell. "Wait, it's late at night, and you're not in night clothes! Are you going out? On duty? Let me stay with you!"

He was screaming all the time, like a girl. It didn't help matters that he looked like one with his long hair and sparkling eyes.

I found myself smiling at this stranger, who was a Lycan and just hurt my warrior. "I was moving out, actually. It's better you follow."

It was easier to host him outside my pack where my warriors wouldn't e hurt. If he

became dangerous, I'd easily subdue him. He might not be, but with such dark energy, I'd have to be careful.
