You Rejected A Silver Wolf

Chapter Seventy-Eight - He's the Evil

Jaden's POV

I found Beatrice walking out of the courtroom and stopped her. "You should rest."

She smiled. "Thank you for helping my Alpha save me, but I am okay."

I let her go, shrugging. The ladies of Silver Pack seemed to be built differently. After such a traumatic experience, I'd be in bed for a while.

I continued inside the courtroom.

"I can't believe you, really!" Dara was shouting. "You let that Lycan live? What if he comes back again?"

I agreed with Dara. The Lycan had shown he was dangerous. Did Rihanna think that just because she had weakened him now, he wouldn't come back?

"I'd hate to be coming here all the time to check up on you, Rih. There's a reason Chris said to kill the Lycan," I joined their conversation.

Dara nodded vehemently, pointing toward the border. "My warriors and I can't stay there in peace, knowing he may attack at any time."

Rihanna only breathed in and out as the complaints piled up before her.

"Give an order, and my warriors and I will look for him. He won't be able to kill us all..."

"I want no one to die!" Rihanna shouted. "I don't want death, and that's why I let him leave. I can't kill him yet. He's too strong."

"You had Alpha Jaden with you. You both could have killed him off there," Dara pointed at me.

"I bet he wanted to," Rihanna frowned, referring to my violence with the Lycan. "But that'd make the Lycan the evil in the prophecy."

Her lead warrior's hands fell, and she paced around, perhaps searching for words or trying to cool a rising temper.

"I know you are disappointed, but I didn't want casualties. Put an eye on Beatrice..." "You said you didn't want to label the Lycan as the evil from the prophecy, right?" Dara asked.

Rihanna shrugged. I leaned on the door, watching them.

"That means he is possibly the evil, right? The evil from the prophecy has been

revealed to us, and you let it go?" Dara looked disappointed.

I knew it wasn't the ideal time to add, but since we were on the topic, I spoke. "Dara is right. That Lycan was the one who clawed your trees."

They both screamed. "What?"

I repeated my words and added, "He confirmed it himself."

Rihanna looked pumped to go find him. I blocked the door before she could move. "He also revealed that he let Red Moon capture him."

There was a brief silence before Dara punched the wall behind her, bruising her hand.

"Alpha, give the word, and we'll get him. I never thought a Lycan would be the evil. I thought it'd be Chris," Dara confessed. "You know?"

I shook my head, staring at her. I didn't know. Why would it be Chris? Did she think Chris had something against Rihanna?

"I think I made a mistake again," Rihanna mumbled under her breath. I heard it and came closer.

"We can tell the packs to search and kill him since you feel guilty. He went toward Red Moon, so they should handle the mess they started."

Dara came closer to us, having heard my suggestion. She nodded. "With your order, I'll send the messages to the packs."

My mate still looked hesitant but eventually nodded. "Do it."

Dara hurried out.

Rihanna plopped down on a chair, raising her legs onto the table. "That Lycan was just asking for trouble."

Was she only realizing this now?

"Um, Alpha Jaden?" Dara came back. "You said you'd hate to be coming here all the time to check up on our Alpha?"

She was just processing my words now?

"Funny, right? Like I needed him to check up on me?" Rihanna rolled her eyes.

Dara observed us suspiciously, then smiled. "We can take care of ourselves, don't worry." She finally left.

I sat beside my mate. My wolf could feel her unease, but it was no use pointing it out she wouldn't understand since she couldn't feel us.

"Chris and Red Moon will want to cover their tracks, so they'll kill the Lycan if they see him. The con is that Chris will blame you for losing him."

She tsked. "Not a con to me. I never wanted to listen to him anyway. He'll see my continuous disobedience and know I'm returning his mess."

She never listened. "In the meantime, until your warriors can watch your border, don't accept slaves. Send them to my pack if you must."

She snapped her head toward me. "You'll accept the slaves who want to deploy to my pack, into yours?"noveldrama

I nodded with a small smile.

"Why?" She narrowed her eyes at me.

There were a lot of reasons. It would make her happy to know I helped the slaves. It was the right thing to do. It would ease her pain.

"We're allies," I said instead.

Her disappointed expression appeared briefly before vanishing. "You try."

What did she want me to say instead? That I wanted her to be happy? It was useless being romantic with her if she couldn't feel it.

She jumped from her chair. "You should head to your pack, though, so you can tell your warriors about the new development."

Whenever she spoke of me leaving, it hurt my heart. It was a sign I had slipped up. "Oh, and about today with the Lycan-I'd assume you haven't beaten anyone recently, right?" Her eyes curved like a smile.

"Certainly," I covered up. "And the Lycan didn't have a likable character at all." "Well, that was cool. And hot. It's nice to know my mate has a crazy side. It's relatable," she chuckled to herself.

Did she just call me hot? I calmed my wolf down before he got over the top. "Yeah, I'll head to my pack now. Hopefully, no issues await."

"I know, right," Rihanna sighed in agreement.

When I finally left, I let a small smile form, remembering everything that had

happened.

I had come on impulse to check up on her after spreading the news of Red Moon using sorcery.

I needed to know Red Moon hadn't attacked her, but then I met with more danger.

I exhaled. "Let your crazy self out. You made me spend too long there, and I need to be home."

My stubborn wolf scoffed before coming to the surface. "That Lycan-I hope we meet again. I really want to take him alone."

His confidence was ridiculous. "Your sole duty is to protect your pack, mate, and mate's pack. Satisfying your ego isn't one of them."

"But you enjoyed it," he defended.

"You made me enjoy it!" I retorted.

Slowly, he took control, and my vision changed. I was in wolf form within seconds.

"I still look forward to meeting that Lycan. He is one of a kind."

That was exactly what the Lycan had said to me. "Wolf, just take me home," I repeated.

My wolf was indeed one of a kind: desiring the extreme, enjoying pain, and

being dominant even with other Alphas.

The weirdest part was that he never told me his name he said he wasn't sure. Who does that?
