You Rejected A Silver Wolf

Chapter Eighty-Two - Lose Appetite

Jaden's POV

He was my mate's brother, and I had a weird urge to treat him better, to know him better.

Ray thanked the servant, who served him with a smile, then helped his mate get a spoon. We were at the dining table.

I glanced at Jake, who was eating happily, and then at Jonah, who was staring at one of Ray's warriors who was quite pretty.

I rolled my eyes, returning to my meal.

"If you'd tell, what is the result of the search for the Lycan?" Ralph asked, breaking the silence.

"It was unsuccessful," was only Ray's reply. He was more interested in watching his mate eat than reporting on the search.

Ralph smiled, understanding. I admired how Ray stared at her, like he was seeing her eat for the first time, love in his eyes and all.

Could Rihanna be like that? Having utmost love and fascination for something related to me?

My appetite was slowly leaving me. Jake looked up at me and my food, he nudged me as he was on my left. "Not hungry? Is it about the Lycan?"

His voice was low, but Ray at his side picked it up and turned to me. I shook my head.

"That is already being handled. It'd be resolved soon. If not, we all are more than capable of handling him."

The lead warrior, Cara, frowned, looking me in the eye. "That's being handled? By who?"

I glanced at Ralph and then at Jonah. "Well, the Lycan was first the prisoner of Silver Pack, so they are actively hunting for him, like you are."

There was an unreadable glare in her eyes as I mentioned Silver Pack. Surely, she shouldn't have hatred for them.

Their Alpha was literally her mate's twin.

"News I got was that they lost him. They are supposed to be looking for him. Not us." She replied. Her mate frowned slightly.

Jake snapped his head at her. "Didn't my brother say that? They are looking for them already. And Chris sent you guys here for what again?"

Ray's mate glowered at him. "What do you mean? To find the Lycan, of course..." She gave him the 'ridiculous' look.

"Because he lost it at first?" Jake mocked. "Or why will he feel guilty? Don't blame Silver Pack. Ask your mate, the Alpha saved him."

"She is his sister, of course, she will." Cara huffed.

"Then give her some respect!" I interjected, looking her in the eyes. "Respect your mate's sister."

Ray had a smirk on his face, he picked a piece of meat and chewed on it slowly.

"Fine. Let's hope she really gets the Lycan." Cara sighed.

There was silence again, but Ralph broke it before it got to a minute. "Why don't you like Rihanna, Cara?"

Ray dropped his fork and gazed at him.

Ralph ignored him. "From what I know, she lived a quiet life at Black Hills before Chris's rejection that made her leave..."

"That wasn't why she left!" Ray interrupted.

It wasn't? We were all staring at him.

"She didn't leave because of Chris, but because of everyone. Even me, okay? Black Hills just sickened her. Now can we eat, in peace?" he asked Ralph.

Ralph was still ignoring him, and waiting for an answer from Cara, but she ignored him as well.

He exhaled. "Fine, those who still have an appetite, should eat." He left his food and walked out.

I had the strong urge to follow him, my appetite had finally left me. Jonah rose from his chair and walked out as well.

My eyebrows raised, why was he leaving? He followed the same route as Ralph and made me assume he left because his Beta did.

Ray was looking sorry for scolding Ralph. He dropped his fork, maybe losing his appetite.

From the corner of his eyes, he glared at his mate. Of course, she had caused this.

"We made the meal specially for you, don't feel bad if those two aren't hungry." Jake chuckled, trying to lessen the mood.

Ray picked his fork again. "Thanks."

My mind link was tugged on, and I rose from my chair. The person trying to connect was my Lead Warrior, he was around the border.

It could possibly be a Lycan attack or a unique visitor.

"Yes, is there a trouble at the border?" I hurried my feet towards the door, while asking the lead warrior.

He made a heavy gulp, then exhaled sharply, like he was injured. "Alpha, it's a visitor..."

I sped to the door, out, through the forest, and stopped at the border within seconds. My eyes flamed while I looked around for him.

My pack wasn't about to lose an official. But then my eyes died down when they fell on her. My wolf came to the surface.

"Rihanna, you came?"

"Yes, and was greeted with violence again. Black Rose is really the violent pack in the kingdom. My father used to say." she judged.

I looked at the lead warrior accusatorily. He shot at her? But on his arm, was a claw mark, and she had none.

"Of course, once bitten, twice shy, I didn't let the violence get me, but rather be violent. Don't worry, he'd heal." She smirked.

My wolf howled in support, but hurting my official wasn't very commendable.

"I'd need to visit Black Rose," I told Beatrice. "Alpha Jaden needs to be aware of Logan trying to attack him. Also, he offered something."

"What?"

"To house slaves until my border is protected. I'd take the offer, I'm hurt that innocents are being killed because of my mistake." I replied.

Dara was standing on the rock when we cornered towards her. She came down and ran to us. Her forehead creased.

"The rogue did this?" she referred to the injury on Beatrice's arm.

"I did, accidentally. And you won't believe who the rogue was? Mi Vida and family. She even got a mate. Tsk." I huffed.

My fists clenched, thinking of her words about the Lycan promising them power.

Was his plan to defeat me and hand my pack to rogues? "He really was sick. In the head."

Mi Vida's family would always resent me because I left the rogue life and became an Alpha, a feat they had never thought of.

Also, when Mi Vida's father was being a jerk who treated the female rogues like sex toys, I helped rescue them, and they rebelled.

Some of them returned to their packs, and some joined mine, that was actually the beginning of the hatred between her father and me.

Reminiscing on those days made me realize how caged being under a pack was.

And being under Chris, I resented strongly for years. I didn't anticipate taking that

route, but I did it for the girls to have an identity.

They were happy, so I believe I achieved something. And it was good to tame wild fires.noveldrama
