You Rejected A Silver Wolf

Chapter One Hundred and Thirty-Nine - Dead Messenger

Chris's POV

What was before me wasn't caused by Logan.

I was sure.

Blood was splattered everywhere, and her legs were hung on trees. The other half of her body lay by the roadside.

This was too much effort to kill one female messenger of my pack. Logan would only need to knock her out.

Her uniform had been stolen too. What would Logan need that for? He couldn't have done this.

"Then who?" my wolf, Zeke, asked.

I had no answer to that. My arms rested on my hips as the warriors, Edwin, and I studied the scene. The body was fresh-it had to be recent.

Whatever did this was in wolf form.

"Could this be a new threat?" Edwin exhaled, facing me. His arms were wrapped around him.

It had to be. Perhaps a rogue I had missed while completing Your Silver's reward was now taking revenge.

If that was true, this messenger's death was my fault. I was to blame for the innocent girl's death.

"A letter sent to Silver Pack is missing from her bag. She didn't get to deliver the rest," a warrior ran to report.noveldrama

Silver Pack? I didn't send a letter to Silver Pack.

"Oh, I did," Edwin signified. "I remembered how we accused Silver Pack's lead warrior of being Sasha's kidnapper, so I wrote to apologize."

I nodded, looking away from the mess. That meant whoever did this was targeting the letter sent to Silver Pack-but why?

"Why would they steal your apology letter?" I asked aloud.

"Maybe as an invitation to get into Silver Pack," Edwin hurriedly replied.

I snapped my head at him. "Is that so?" But it made sense.

With our uniform and a letter bearing the Black Hills seal, a Silver Pack warrior would easily accept whatever he brought.

"That also means his target is Silver Pack, not us. That's comforting," Edwin sighed.

What a Royal Delta! If Silver Pack was the target, was it really a good thing?

Your Silver's protection was important. Even if this wasn't Logan, it was critical that the Silver Wolf remained safe.

"Warriors, stay back. This new threat should be watched. It's more gruesome than Logan, so at least ten of you should remain," I ordered.

They saluted and began dispersing themselves.

I remembered Your Silver's letter that I had read before leaving. She wanted to work together and ambush Logan-this was the perfect time.

My sister was still at Black Hills, and I didn't know if she was safe returning on her own.

I also really hoped she was making progress with her mate.

"Edwin, you'll follow me to Black Hills. I need to bring my sister home and have a talk with Alpha Jaden about Rihanna's plan."

My Delta frowned, ogling at me. He pointed at the messenger's body. "We don't know what did this. I'd say the small demon, but he's..."

"A child!" I finished. "Stop being scared of these things when you're a Delta, for goodness' sake."

He pouted, folding his arms stubbornly. "Well, Vanessa can stay there. It's not like she does anything for us back at Black Hills."

What? How dare he-he was right, though.

I sighed. "Wouldn't you want your Alpha to be happy, knowing all his family members were safe with him?"

He dropped his arms, looking down.

"Also, I said I wanted to talk to Alpha Jaden. I have things to ask." One of them being whether Your Silver was truly his mate or not.

A warrior ran to us with another finding. "We saw a male's clothes a few miles away. It could be the man who killed the messenger."

He changed into the messenger's uniform and ditched his clothes? I bet he planned to keep infiltrating Silver Pack.

Was he delivering a message?

"Thank you. You and the rest should be careful. Your Delta and I are stopping by Black Rose," I said.

Edwin huffed, brushing his hair back.

The warrior returned and relayed the information to his colleagues. I held onto Edwin, then sped off.

As I raced toward Black Rose, I had to stop. The scent of a new rogue wolf lingered in the forest-like it was still lurking around.

Edwin was about to scold me for speeding off with him, but he held back, sensing the eerie energy around us.

"Who are you? And what are you doing in my kingdom?" I raised my voice.

Edwin slowly moved behind me. Silence followed. I focused on the energy, and it led me to a dark area within a group of trees.

"I know you're in there! Come out now before I find you!" I shouted again, feeling his presence.

At best, he was Beta rank or a higher Delta rank. My claws extended from my fingers.

"Do you really want him to find you?" Edwin asked with a tsk.

I steadily inched toward where he hid. His aura was heavy-like a Lycan's.

My feet froze when I realized the truth. He was a Lycan.

"Why did you stop, Alpha King?" a small voice asked. I took a step back.

"What's wrong?" Edwin asked, shifting into a stance to attack.

"It's a Lycan," I told him through the mind link. "Brace yourself-he has very dark energy about him."

My Delta and I stared at the dark area within the trees, waiting for the Lycan to reveal himself.

I couldn't even wrap my head around how another Lycan existed. "Show yourself!"

A light sigh left his lips, and then his eyes glowed from the darkness. They were light orange.

He sped toward us, stepping into the moonlight. His grey eyes locked onto mine soulless and unyielding.

He had long blonde hair that looked almost like a wig-only because it was so thick. He was beautiful and young.

"You're a Lycan. What do you want here?" I tried not to raise my voice since he didn't look dangerous.

"Well, um, nothing much," he shrugged. "I like being in dark places, and this was the darkest I could find," he casually replied.

I glanced at the spot he pointed to-there was no light at all. "Who are you? What are you doing?"

"The name's Liam. I was just chilling," he raised a brow, his tone too casual.

Edwin glanced at me, then back at him. "Did you kill a girl recently...?"

"That wasn't me. That was Pedro," he quickly replied. "He's a Lycan."

The boy looked physically harmless-though his energy and aura said otherwise. "There's another Lycan?" I asked. Just how many of these things were around here?
