You Rejected A Silver Wolf

Chapter Hundred and Sixty-Seven - Where's He?

Rihanna's POV

A new day always came with new hope.

But not this day.

My eyes were heavy from crying, and there was a weight in my heart and on my shoulders.

Where were we to start? I felt so disoriented.

Maybe it was harder on me since it was my mate's Beta who was killed, but it meant Logan would destroy werewolves with or without my energy.

All the same, I had to leave my bed and go to my people. I was the Alpha and their hope.

I styled my hair in a way that hid part of my eyes where dark circles remained.

Walking to the courtroom, I could hear Chris's voice. I hastened my steps.

"You're awake!" I said, slightly excited.

He was without his shirt and hurriedly covered his body. "Yes, and turn around, please."

I smirked. He was one male I knew who never liked anyone seeing him without a shirt, ever since he was a teenager.

I turned, exhaling. "It took a while to bring you back. Were you chatting with the Moon Goddess?"

He grunted. "I didn't have the time. You can turn now."

I strolled to my seat at the end of the room and crossed my legs when I sat down. "Black Hills know you're here, so stay until you can walk."

He folded his legs on the table, testing its sturdiness. "So I slept on this hard thing. I miss my bed."

I rolled my eyes. My Beta walked in just as the nurses who had given Chris some drugs walked out.

"Alpha Chris, you survived!" she cheered, patting his back softly.

Chris grinned broadly. "With the way you two sound, I think I gave you a shock."

Shock? That was an understatement.

Imagine if he had died and Logan had another attack? Jaden was psychologically not ready, and I couldn't take him alone yet.

And the guilt I'd have felt for touring Sun Burn Kingdom while the Alphas of my kingdom served their lands?

His resuscitation saved me from all that. But he didn't have to know.

"It didn't shock me. I don't care if you die," I said. "But we need the extra hand, though."

He should have known I was joking, but he frowned. "Nice to know. But tell me you killed Logan."

A frown came to my own face at the mention of that beast's name. "I didn't. And now,

I don't think I should be the one. Jaden will be doing it."

The Lycan owed him more than he owed me.

Chris sat upright and spoke in an authoritative tone. "No. Jaden has to preserve his energy. He shouldn't engage in anything that would stress him."

"Then he'll use his energy, avenge his pack, then absorb Logan's Lycan energy," I tilted my head. "Either way, Logan is his."

Chris peered into my eyes like he was searching for something. "Is there a reason why he should have him? Related to the prophecy?"

Was he indirectly asking if Jaden was the destined Silver Wolf's mate who'd fight by my side? He must have suspected.

"It's not that. Logan owes Alpha Jaden a great deal. It'd be unfair to take his chance to avenge his pack," Beatrice chirped in.

"What happened?" Chris asked.

"Ralph is dead!" I declared. "Logan killed him, tied him to a stake, and waited for the volcano to erupt, but we found his body."

Chris froze for a second, his head slowly turning to me. "Does Jaden know?" He sounded scared of my reply, so I said nothing-only nodded.

He attempted to move, but he fell, as his blood hadn't fully circulated yet.

I sped forward and caught him in time, not wanting him to return to a state that would put me in turmoil.noveldrama

I slammed him back onto the table, irritated by our closeness. "Sit still before you die

as well. We just got you back from the dead."

He breathed in and out, his eyes glued to the floor. "This will be too hard on Jaden."

It was hard on everybody. Ralph had found his mate less than a year ago. I wondered if he was a dad.

Chris's loud sigh snapped me from my thoughts, and I gazed up at him.

"Logan will be dying painfully this time." He looked at me. "Have you seen Jaden? He could do something stupid."

I glanced at Beatrice, who shook her head. "We haven't gotten a letter from Jake yet that Jaden returned. He didn't return yesterday."

He wouldn't have gone to look for Logan. We didn't know where Logan had headed. "Jake will write back soon. Jaden will be fine."

"Losing someone does a lot to a person. He needs someone around who won't blame him," Chris advised.

"Who would blame him?" I clenched my fists. "He tried to find Ralph. How is he to blame?"

Chris explained, "He'll feel he didn't do enough. You know, he tried to limit his use of energy because of his arm."

How dare he think that? He did enough!

Should he have killed himself, and Ralph still wouldn't have been found? Now, he'd have a chance to avenge him.

"I'll try to look for him." I began stomping out of the room. "Chris, stay here, and I'll send you "

"Send me back now. I have to make it known formally that Ralph is dead and pin it on Logan. Also, condolences need to be sent," he said.

I placed my hands on my hips, lips pursed. How was I supposed to send him back? "Did you come with a horse?"

He nodded, then sighed. "It's at Black Rose, and I don't want to go there now." Me

too.

I mind-linked Beatrice and requested, "Please arrange a comfortable carriage that I will

escort to take him back safely to Black Hills."

"I'm on it," she bowed and left.

Chris raised a brow at her actions. "Is she taking me back? Fine. Go and look for

Jaden."

I took a step closer to him. "I'm taking you back. Jaden can wait. I think he needs time alone."

There was silence between us for half a minute.

He broke it by asking, "I'm asking only because I've been reading the prophecy back

to back, and one part of it has yet to happen."

My lips pressed together, and my forehead furrowed as I wondered where he was

getting at. Everything in the prophecy would be fulfilled.

"Have you gotten a mate yet? Is there a Silver Wolf mate who is supposed to help you

defeat this evil?" he probed, with a lopsided grin.

So he finally asked. "Yes. Jaden."

I knew he already had suspicions. "Any other questions? You should try walking

because I'm not going to carry you to the carriage."

He smirked, then broke into laughter. "Ray was right, then. And you two make a good

pair."

That wasn't the reaction I expected from him, which was why I had hidden it all along. "Thank... you?"

"Hmm. His gentleness complements your crazy, impatient side," he added.

Was that a backhanded compliment? I clapped my hands. "The carriage is here, let's go!" And I strolled off, a smile creeping onto my lips.
