You Rejected A Silver Wolf

Chapter Ninety-Six - Wolf Trouble

Jaden's POV

That scene replayed in my head many times. Maybe it was my wolf's obsession with it, or because it was iconic, like a resurrection from the dead.

Rihanna, in her Alpha Fury, challenging Chris.

Chris really was patient, I think. He was in many ways Alpha King material. I couldn't believe I was next to that throne.

My wolf sneered at me. "Your mothers had been Alpha Queens at their times, and you are scared of having the title again?" my wolf sneered.

I didn't need his opinion in this matter. I folded the scroll that I just received from Black Hills. It was about finding Sasha.

And Chris was specific about suspecting a Silver Wolf warrior. Their Alpha would surely not let him touch that warrior.

If she could snap at him because he hurt her Delta, then she was just as protective with her warriors.

Rihanna's scene replayed in my mind again, so I shut my eyes for a while before opening them again.

"You can't stop thinking of your mate, Jaden. Stop trying to," My wolf mocked.

He was truly the devil amongst us. "How about you charge your sexual desire away from our mate and channel it on finding the Lycan?"

"Sexual desire? On our mate?" he queried.

"I'm not dumb. You have a twisted desire towards power. Turn that desire to rage and find the Lycan!" I ordered.

He scoffed. "Don't give me orders. I made you who you are."

"I made me what I am!" I retorted, shutting off our connection, but it was opened again. "And whatever," then he shut down.

He was truly annoying. Sometimes I wanted to protect Rihanna from him, but other times I basked in his twisted thoughts.

I wondered why the moon goddess gave me such a wolf. He was surely a rebellious one, so she threw him down to poor me.

There was a knock on my opened door. "Alpha, the lead hunter is here." It was Ralph. "Leave him at the courtroom, I'm coming there."

"Sure, but I don't get why you need hunters to find Sasha when you can send warriors. I mean, this is a Luna Queen," Ralph frowned.

The thing was, if Rihanna's warrior was being suspected by Chris, then that warrior was surely responsible.

If the offender was already known, there was no need to stress my warriors over it.

My hunters could search to show we cared, but that's all. It was easier changing hunters' minds than it was with warriors.

But I didn't bother explaining this to Ralph. He was already annoyed at my deep involvement with things related to Rihanna.

"Don't worry, I want Chris's respect towards my hunters, like he has for my warriors. Also, the Lycan is out there. The warriors are on it."

I rapped quickly and rushed out of my room to the courtroom.

As I entered, I saw the lead hunter, shirtless, admiring his abs through a shiny shield kept beside my throne.

"You got back your sanity, right?" I asked, leaning on the door.

He turned, covering his chest with the shirt in his hands. "Not at all, Alpha. I mean, yes, yes, I'm good."

He met my unsure gaze and hurriedly put on his shirt. "I'm good and very glad that it's confirmed that Your Silver was actually a girl."

"Lady. She's not a 'girl," I corrected.

"Oh no, Alpha. She's a girl, one that's lucky to have a silver wolf. That's her whole existence," the lead hunter scoffed.

He must not like her. And was very vocal about it; he had his opinions anyway, but I mustn't agree with them.

I sent him a fake smile. "Last I remember, that girl broke Beta and Alpha rank while you were struggling with her drug in your head."noveldrama

That was forced out by my wolf; hurting people's pride was what he does. "Not that it's your fault, but you know..." I added.

The lead hunter looked down, rubbing his head. "Yeah, she's an impressive girl anyway."

I clapped for him as he understood. "Good, now go do something impressive for you

and your team, search for the Luna Queen of Black Hills."

He bowed, ran to the door, but on getting to the door he turned back to me. "At the

job, I could meet this girl. What should I say when I do?"

"Bow and greet then move along. She's an Alpha and our ally. Be in your best manners."

Perhaps he wasn't expecting the response, as his forehead creased, but he bowed again, nevertheless, and walked out.

"Scum!" My wolf cursed as I attempted to close the half-opened door the lead hunter left open.

I assumed he referred to me until I realized it was the hunter. "That's your lead hunter." "Doesn't make him less of scum," My wolf said.

"No, what made him a scum is because he doesn't like your mate, which is totally okay cos she hasn't been nice to him," I slammed the door shut, feeling strange annoyance.

My wolf repeated again, fueling the annoyance. "Well, that makes him a scum, doesn't

it?"

"Just stop!" I barked. "And stop transferring passive aggression to me. I have other things at my table."

My wolf chuckled then laid back. I exhaled, shutting my eyes and hoping they'd pop me into a world of peace.

I opened them to the same courtroom and even took notice of new piles of scrolls and reports I hadn't noticed while talking with the hunter.

"I can't do this," I sighed.

Remembering it will all double as Alpha King, more like quadruple as I'd have four packs under me, I repeated again. "I can't do this."

I reopened the door I just closed then walked out of it. "I'd just run for a bit and see if

this silly wolf will chill." I doubted he would.

The guards greeted, but I only nodded. Any word leaving me would be a shout.

The border warriors, on seeing me, had given themselves eye contact but didn't approach me. I began running when I was away from them.

My wolf fought to take control, but I withheld him. He should know how wanting freedom but not having it felt like.

He struggled, I felt it, furs trying to rise from my skin, but I stood my ground, holding onto a tree to suppress the urge.

Why was he so persistent? Why didn't he take no for an answer?

I was under a starless night, surrounded by tall trees, and that's when he forced a howl

out of me.

The force sent me to the earth, and I rolled down to the low ground. Having an inner fight with my wolf. And it wasn't the first time it happened.

"You're the scum. You know that, right?" I groaned, feeling bruised at my back by the

fall.

"Or I'm just stronger than you," he huffed proudly.

Yeah, or the moon goddess had

given me a bloodthirsty, crazily strong, and very proud wolf.
