You Rejected A Silver Wolf

Chapter One Hundred and Ten - Weird Kid.

Jaden's POV

I stood at a distance, watching Rihanna's reaction to the flowers Jonah had presented to her.

She was stunned at first but then took them and hit Jonah on the head. I felt glad seeing that, but my happiness was short-lived.

"Why go through the trouble? But thanks, I appreciate the gesture!" She gave him a small hug.

She liked it?!

Jonah rolled his eyes, rubbing his head. "If you like it, then why did you hit me?"

"Well, the flowers are still useless to me. Should I cook them or what?" Rihanna smirked.

They walked inside her courtroom together, and for a moment, I felt forgotten. Well, I shouldn't be surprised-they were close.

She and Jonah had shared a secret for a while, and he was the first Black Rose member not to treat her like a rogue. Jake and Ralph were the opposites.

I strolled around, searching for Beatrice's apartment to meet with Hunter. I noticed that the Silver Pack houses had unique designs. All the houses looked identical, with only color differences, as if they wanted everything to be similar to show equality within the pack.

Some pups ran past me toward a bakery in the middle of the pack. An elderly lady received them with hugs. I wondered if they were all hers.

Then I saw Hunter tagging behind the kids with grumpy steps. He paused when the old lady sat the kids down and gave them cake. I wondered why he looked sad, seeing the others eating without him. He could just walk over and join them. And why didn't they notice he wasn't with them?

Then the old lady began counting the kids. She turned and saw Hunter standing there. "I won't give you cake if you don't want it. How about cooked corn?" she asked loudly.

Hunter smiled broadly, nodding. "Okay!!" He ran into her arms and then rushed to a seat.

I smiled. Was he scared of cake? He sat away from the other kids, waiting patiently for his corn. What kid would prefer corn to cake? Hunter!

The old lady noticed me watching and smiled. I moved closer and bowed. "I'm Jaden, a friend of Hunter. I'd like to speak with him for a while if that's okay with you."

The lady glanced at Hunter, who gave her an approving nod. "Sure, sit with him. Do you want cake as well? It's free."

I shook my head and sat beside the excited little boy. "I have mostly good news for you. Did you enjoy your sleep?"

"Yup! And I had a dream! I was with my mom on a big boat, traveling through the seven seas! Very exciting!" he yelped loudly.

The other kids gave him weird looks, as if he were speaking another language. I frowned at them, and they looked away.noveldrama

I didn't like that Hunter, as bubbly as he was, was seen as the weird kid who sat alone. I had lived that life growing up, and it wasn't fun.

"Do you have friends here?"

He looked at the other kids in a rather demeaning way. "No! They don't even want to be friends with me, so I stopped trying."

His voice was so loud that they could hear him, but he didn't care.

The old lady reacted to it. "Maybe it's because you're close to the Alpha. My daughter doesn't have any good history with other kids."

Her daughter? Rihanna? Was she Beta Sam's wife?

I searched her face for a resemblance but only saw a subtle similarity with Ray, none with Rihanna.

"Or me! She slapped my butt last time when I thought we were friends," Hunter turned to me. "You saw it, right?"

A smile came to my face. He had totally misunderstood that situation. "I did. Anyway, Hunter, I confirmed the places you saw."

He bent his head down, then whispered, "They weren't dreams? They were real?"

I understood that he didn't want anyone to hear us, so I whispered back, "Yeah, and they were all beside Red Moon. Your wolf traveled far."

"And I can't even go there on my own." He sighed. "This stubborn wolf of mine. Was there anything that could have attracted him there?"

I shook my head. None that I could think of.

Unless his wolf had heard the struggling sounds from Chris and Logan and had gone to look.

I smirked that could have been what happened.

The little wolf had been curious and had unknowingly distracted Edwin, earning the title 'small demon.' Then he had run off upon seeing Logan.

I patted the confused boy. "I don't think your wolf will act so recklessly again. Just try to communicate better with him, okay?"

He smiled, then nodded. The old lady brought him a plate of cooked corn. The other kids looked at him jealously, but he didn't care.

"Want some?" he asked me. I shook my head and stood up. I had other places to be. "Take care."

I strolled back toward Rihanna's courtroom, feeling accomplished. My wolf had still been quiet, but I cared less about that now.

"Alpha, are you done with the boy?" It was Jonah, and he was struggling.

I wanted to hurry, but I remembered he was around Silver Pack, so he wasn't in harm's way. "Yes. Are you okay?"

"You have a duel now, and you have to beat Rihanna for me regain my honor." He groaned.

I was confused. A duel? With my mate? To regain his honor? "Why?"

"I lost a duel with her!" he replied.

The urge to laugh was strong. He had dueled with the lady he had brought flowers for? What a gentleman!

"How did you think you'd duel with an Alpha and win? What were you looking for exactly?" I asked him, slowing my steps.

"She asked me to!" he retorted painfully.

That made sense-Jonah wasn't that reckless. "Why did you agree then?" I asked again, enjoying his pain.

"She said she was looking for a worthy partner to train with. She mocked my pride, so I agreed. Please come..." Jonah groaned again.

Rihanna was really something. "I'll be there soon, Jonah, to give you your pride back." I chuckled. "Do stay away from her till then."

"I can't even move. Her wolf broke something in me," he replied.

Her wolf? She had been training with her wolf? My wolf became alert, growing excited.

Fighting with a silver wolf had been marked off his list since he had found out that the last silver wolf was his mate.

Was fate bringing another opportunity again? I wasn't sure I liked it.

My wolf's excitement began turning into a twisted desire.

"Remember, she's your mate," I warned him. He usually forgot those things when he was in charge.
