Chapter 49
I look at Lord Perry hoping he'll shut the man out but he does not, looking at him with his brow furrow in thought.
"He can't possibly do that?" I asked tired of waiting as the fucker sits on a chair crossing his legs and relaxing like he owns the place. "Oh I can" he says looking delighted.
"What does he mean?" I ask Lord Perry who stands dumbfounded.

Stop asking the wrong people the right questions " He cackles, once again poking into a conversation I don't want to have with him.
"Lord Perry is not an Alpha by birth, he got the position by dethroning my father in a duel, the order of his foundation is if anything is to happen to his lineage or after a few years I can challenge Jaden if he survives he gets to keep his position and if he doesn't... He trails off not like he needed to say much; the silence speaks volumes.
I'm not surprised Lord Perry did such a shallow thing; it's never been recorded of a duel for the fight of being Alpha.
The moon goddess picked her leaders, blessing them with strength tremendous than his enemies.
I always believed Jaden had been bestowed with this gift now it may not be the case.
This was the perfect opportunity to strike now Jaden is down even if he recovers he may not be able to win this fight and Carter is a big man sharp and calculative the manipulative kind that manages to get under your skin seems he had already done that to Lord Perry.

And if Jaden doesn't accept the challenge in twenty-four hours I get it through forfeit and make you my luna" he smiles which irritates me.
If he believed I was going to be his luna he must be crazy.
Without saying a word I step out I won't let Jaden lose no matter what, I promise silently determined.
My heart aches because I know this was my fault, if only I had listened and stayed in the hospital, Jaden wouldn't be in the condition he is now.To avoid an incomplete reading experience, visit Jobn'i'b.com. Hurrying back to my room I see Riley pacing and Ride resting on my bed flipping through the pages of a magazine slowly.
Is it true?" Riley asks spotting me
"What do you mean?" I ask, frustrated.
"Jaden has to fight to retain his position?" I'm taken aback by how the news spread so fast I'm guessing being discreet isn't something this pack is prone to.
"Yes," I say, rubbing my temples. It's been a rough week and the matters keep erupting, it's one thing or another.
"Ride I need a fast way back to the hospital"
"You can use my car" Riley suggests"
"I'll drive" Ride tosses the magazine on the bed stepping up to me.
"I missed you" he says winking as he walks past me.
I know he's trying to hide how much it affects him that his friends are dead but I see the look in his eyes he's pained and I can't help him because I'm aware of the fact he won't let me. The whole pack house is in turmoil. I'm guessing everyone heard the news.
We hurry to Riley's car, Ride drives smoothly back to the pack hospital.
I head to Jaden's ward.
The guards stop me at the entrance to his room.
"You're not allowed in there "He says simply.
Pushing his hand away I step through pushing the door behind me and bolting it.
Jaden looked just like I found him.
"Jaden hey" I smile sadly sitting by his side and taking his hand in mine.
"It's me you need to wake up now Jaden hope people wanted you dead I won't let anything happen to you"
"I know this is all my fault I'm sorry baby but you need to wake up for us for all you've worked for" Placing my head In his face I tilt his gorgeous face toward mine.
"You're going to wake up aren't you?" The silence that follows kills me within.
"I know I've never said this but Jaden Perry I've fallen in love with you" the tears finally fall, making my heart ache.
The door is banged on the outside.
"Open up,"Ride yells.
I kiss Jaden on the forehead then wipe my eyes looking as composed as I possibly could manage, I unlock the door. "What's up Ride"
"Nisha wants to leave the hospital again"
Looking back at Jaden I follow him back to Nisha's room.
I dismissed the two nurses standing at the foot of her room.
"Nisha what's wrong you promised to rest" I question.
"It's Elijah Hailey I can feel him"
"If I'm discharged now we can get to him before he's pulled in a range I can't get to"
"You sure?" I question, she may just be paranoid.
"Yes Hailey I'm sure"
"Okay I request for your discharge"
Heading outside a doctor was called to check in Nisha then signing the papers she changed back into her clothes before she hurried to the exit.
She makes Ride sit in the passenger's seat as she accelerates back to the pack house.
"Are you really sure?" I question once more why Elijah would be in the pack house.
"Yes I'm certain," she says, jumping out the car.
I look at Ride who just shrugs not making an attempt to leave looks like I was alone on this.
Nisha hurries quickly and it takes a lot of effort to catch up to her through the activity that I'm sure Carter is behind
Stopping at the foot of the door she grips the door knob. I see fear sizzle through her.
I nod in encouragement and she turns the knob and there he is lying peaceful underneath the sheets, Elijah.
