You Rejected A Silver Wolf

Chapter Hundred and Thirty-Five - Old Hag Said

Jaden's POV

After understanding Logan's trickery from my uncles, I tried to visit Rihanna immediately.

I didn't want her worrying about useless things and tricks. But when I returned to the courtroom, Ralph was waiting to leave.

His mate had punished him for leaving on short notice, so I had to stay with the guest, Princess Vanessa, against my will.

I hoped Ralph would return on time, but when he did, he had a gloomy countenance and only wanted to be with his mate.

It took Jake to get the words out of him.

He had met the palm reader who once said he'd die, and she had reconfirmed that he'd still die soon.

With Logan's impending attack, he became anxious, assuming it would be Logan who would kill him.

"Well, he's wrong! Logan can't kill my Beta!" my wolf barked inside me.

Ralph's countenance affected me greatly. It was now Jake's burden to host Vanessa. "How could he believe a palm reader who knew nothing about him!" I felt annoyed. He was psychic most times and could see past these lies. Why was he believing it? Was it true? Did he feel it was?

"And now you are believing it?" my wolf barked.

I brushed off those awful thoughts from my head. I also needed to be with my mate, but she wasn't as close to reach as Ralph's.

My eyes became red as I tried to suppress my anger and frustration into my wolf-he was the one who knew how to use it, not me.

"Jaden!" Jake yelled, barging into my room.

Seeing my eyes an unusual shade, he was careful to approach me. "Jaden, calm down. Ralph is okay. His mate put him to sleep."

It didn't change his fears. Whatever it was that made him scared could still happen. "Stop believing it!" I yelled at myself.

Jake stepped back. "What now? Look, Jaden, calm down. You know your wolf can be sensitive!"

"He already is, Jake! How dare an old hag burden my Beta with whispers of death? He isn't even half fifty!" I retorted, scaring my brother.

"Calm down!" Jake pointed below me, but I didn't care to know what he was referring to.

"No, Black Rose has been too lenient with these common wolves if they dare think of us as stepping stones!" My wolf was taking over.

My brother threw something at me, but weirdly, I didn't feel it. "Jaden!" he yelled again.

"Bring that woman to me and let Ralph cast his frustration on her. She'll be the first to die before he "

I was pushed down onto the bed, and my brother was over me, tightening me in a

hug. "Jaden, your claws are out! Your wolf is acting up!"

I became conscious and retracted my claws. "Sorry." I exhaled.

My wolf needed to stop raising my aggression over slight matters.

"You call an old hag threatening your Beta a small matter?" he asked.

"Well, you're being overly dramatic about it," I cautioned.

Jake stayed over me in a hug for minutes, long enough that I thought he was asleep.

"This kid." I turned over, and he fell onto the bed.

He was really asleep. So much for being my emotional support.

But when I left the bed, he jumped up again and yelled, "Jaden, wait!"

I paused.

"Where are you going?"

"I'm not going to kill the old woman," I replied so he'd be at peace.

I walked out of my room, and he followed me.

"And Vanessa?" I inquired. "Don't tell me you left her walking around my courtroom."

At that moment, I felt for the princess-she was probably wandering around.

My brother was nodding off while following me with small steps. I didn't know what he

had been using his nights for, but he needed to rest.

Turning back to my room, I held his hand. "You need to rest."

He held my arm. "Will you host Vanessa and not go after the old woman?"

I smiled. "Yes." I opened the door. "Promise."

He fell onto the bed before I turned away, exhaling and preparing myself to meet the princess.

My mind link was tugged, and Jonah connected. "Finally, selfish Delta, you've connected!" I scolded him.

"It's only because Dara had an urgent message for you from the Alpha herself, or I wouldn't have bothered," he mumbled.

He cared more about Rih's message than his own mate. His priorities were right-but not fair.

"Come to the courtroom then," I smirked, wanting to lure him into seeing his mate at least.

I disconnected before he could protest. Maybe if he saw her and felt the bond, he'd soften toward her and let them have a talk. They could click.

As I strolled into the courtroom, I plastered a smile on my face. "We meet again, princess. I hope you're enjoying Black Rose."noveldrama

She left her seat and bowed. "Sure, I am. Thank you for the hospitality."

Her bowing caught me off guard. I widened the fake smile on my face. "Yes, and that-

well, that's the bow of the Black Rose warriors."

Something my brother made up to make them unique-like a rose on the uniform wasn't enough.

"Yeah, Jake taught me. I could be your Delta's wife someday, so I should get used to

it."

She sounded far more confident than usual.

The door of the courtroom opened, and my Delta walked in. I saw the princess's eyes light up when she saw her mate.

I longed for such a reaction from Rihanna. I checked Jonah a stone-cold look graced his face.

"Oh, c'mon. She's been here since morning. Can you at least talk to her?" I asked him through the mind link.

"Alpha, I'm here to deliver a letter from Rihanna," he said instead, marching to me. Vanessa's face twisted. "Rihanna? Are you two close? That sounded informal." "That sounded nosey," Jonah retorted.

I hid my chuckle and nudged Jonah. "Actually, princess, since the Silver Pack and Black Rose Pack are allies, we are quite close."

She glazed her eyes over Jonah, who didn't spare her a glance. "Rihanna easily mistakes kindness for love-be careful with her."

Jonah and I both snapped our heads at her at the same time. She didn't notice.

"If you get too close to her, she'll assume you like her. That's how she was with my brother-but he rejected her." She laughed.

They were literally mates! She was influenced by the mate pull.

Why was Vanessa making it sound like she was some lovesick girl? That meant she supported her brother rejecting Rih, right?

"That rejection made her stronger-powerful and more. I wonder what one would do

to you," Jonah spat out.

Oh no, he didn't. Was he going to reject her?

This princess overdid herself this time.
