You Rejected A Silver Wolf

Chapter Hundred and Forty-Nine - Demanding Dads

Jaden's POV

It was already afternoon.

Ralph had just finished venting at me for leaving without anyone knowing where I had gone, then sustaining an injury-a poisoned injury.

And the part where he asked if I was going to "die his death" stabbed a nail into my heart.

He wasn't dying, or else whatever hurt him would experience worse than death.

I was glad he was the one who had received the message that was sent to Black Rose

and not my brother, Jake. He would have been more dramatic.

"Is she awake now?" I asked Dara, who walked in with a handful of letters.

She shrugged. "Ask Nurse Camilla, but she hasn't left my Alpha's room."

She dropped the letters on a table. "Chances are that my Alpha is still asleep. Wait a little bit for her." Dara winked.

She was always insinuating something was going on between Rihanna and me. Something should be, but it wasn't.

My eyes went to the letters she had delivered.

I remembered Liam saying the cutie he wanted to see at Silver Pack accepted letters for the Alpha.

"Dara, is there a warrior in charge of receiving these letters?"

She halted her steps. "Those? No, I do it myself that way, I know when a spy is around. Why?"

I shook my head. "Nothing."

"Oh, is it about the weird letter my Alpha got? All I know is some cute little guy came delivering it. He wasn't familiar, though."

She thought he was cute too? That was suspicious. I smiled. "Don't worry. I told your Alpha it was a prank."

Her eyebrows furrowed. "Prank? Did our pack look like a playground? Or did my face look ready to joke?"

"Well, he wasn't just "

"I'd give him a good beating if he comes close to my border again! Damn prank!" she cursed, stomping off.

For her sake, she shouldn't try giving him a beating-so as not to trigger his wild wolf.

A long sigh left my lips as I sank into the couch. My Beta returned to me with happy steps. "Jaden, guess what I found out?"

Whenever he called me Jaden with that tone, I knew he had found something silly. "What?"

"Do you know Beatrice is actually from Red Moon?" he said with wide eyes.

I didn't know. I sat up straight. "Really?" Why did Rihanna hate Red Moon so much if her Beta was from there?

"Her brother led his hunters to attack our former Delta that year. Rihanna saved them," Ralph continued.

The former Delta was nearly killed three years ago by some hunters, and when the warriors ran after them, a silver wolf had saved them.

So this was the full story? "Go on!"

"But Red Moon abandoned the hunters after they failed the mission, making Beatrice's brother commit suicide," Ralph added with a mood drop.

My face twisted, not expecting the twist. "That's tough. Red Moon was really a scum pack back then."

I believed their Alpha would do better now. "Who told you this?" It wouldn't be Beatrice.

"Hunter! You said he reminded you of yourself as a kid, but I think not. He's chatty and fun-you weren't those as a kid," my Beta scoffed.

I rolled my eyes.

"Well, you had a very demanding father. Hunter doesn't have any. Ahh, sometimes fathers can be too much, right?" Ralph sighed.

Hunter had a father-not an ideal one anyway. "My father was demanding, not very demanding. I take it all as grooming to be an Alpha."

"Or just hate because your mother loved you more," Ralph joked. "My dad told me once your dad hurt you, your mom locked him up."

I smiled. She was Alpha anyway. "Not how I remember it," I denied, even if I knew it was true.

"Maybe you don't. I never saw it either. My dad did have many stories like that, though," Ralph sighed again. "I hope to be a dad someday."

My smile fell off my face. Of course, he'd be a father someday. "Could you spare yourself the unnecessary worry? You're still young."

A sorry smile was on his face, and he said nothing. The door to Rihanna's room opened.

"I'll let you two be," he hurriedly said and left.

Rihanna walked through the door and saw him. She must have noticed his saddened

expression as she stared at him for a long time.

"Feeling better?" I asked to get her attention.

Still looking at Ralph, she walked toward me.

When she finally turned, she kept her hands on her waist. "Did you say anything to upset him?"

Why would she think that? What could I say?

"And I should be asking you if you feel better. And have you been saving energy?" she inquired.

I wore a done look. Here I had been, waiting for her, while she had been worrying about me. It was quite consoling.

"I'm good. Chris dropped by and saw my injury. He suggested getting help from Red Moon," I reported.

"Could they help? This was from them, and it had no cure. I kinda had a clue it had no cure, so I bought it-that way, Logan can't get help."

My countenance dropped. "Well, how did it play out for you?"

She frowned. "You know I didn't tell Logan to spill it on you, right?"

My brows pulled together, and my jaw clenched. "Then am I really dying?"

"No!" she insisted. "I've been talking with Lana, and since the Lycan energy is the only thing that could resist―"noveldrama

She trailed off, seeing I wasn't listening. "What?"

"Who's Lana?" I tilted my head.

She brushed it off. "My wolf. Sorry."

A smile crept to my face. Her wolf was named Lana? The silver wolf. It was a really pretty name for a wild terror.

"And what's your wolf's name while we are on the topic? Bet it's a warrior name of some sort," Rihanna chuckled.

I blanked off to connect with him, but he wasn't responding. "Can you keep a secret?" I inched closer to my mate.

"I guess," she raised a brow.

"My wolf never told me his name. I actually have no idea what he's called," I confessed.

She didn't look shocked, like my mother had been when I told her. "Wow. Is he cold to you?"

"No, he actually talks. A lot," I grinned. "But that part-no. I wonder if he even knows." My wolf stirred up in me but mellowed down.

"Maybe the moon goddess threw him to you when he wasn't ready," Rih joked. "He could've been an unruly beast to her there."

I had thought something similar too. It might be closer to the truth. My wolf was an unruly beast.
