You Rejected A Silver Wolf

Chapter Fifty-Three - Always Disagree

Chris's POV

I stopped moving along with him, his words replaying in my head. What did he mean by that?

"Jake, you always made me misunderstand you," I told him honestly. "Should I blame Your Silver? Could I stop her?"

He paused his steps and swerved to face me. "Yes, those are the exact questions I asked."

And he knew he was being annoying? Jake Justin never changed. "You always made me misunderstand you."

"And why?" he smiled. "Because you couldn't answer those questions?"

I frowned, my fists balling. We were outside the courtroom, and I could see his warriors ahead.

Would they be annoyed if I hit their Alpha's brother? Was he insinuating I wouldn't dare challenge Your Silver a rogue?

"You always had a problem with me, didn't you? And I wondered why," I enquired bitterly.

He chuckled hysterically. "I couldn't dare have problems with you, Alpha King. I only highly disagreed with you, and I was honest about it."

I scoffed loudly. "Disagreeing and being honest about it? Those aren't wrong, but you always had an annoying way of making that point..." "Since when have I been that way? Since you rejected your mate, which led to her death, right?" he raised a brow.

Was everyone still milking that? "But she didn't die!"

"You and I know she did. A part of her did, and she became the merciless Your Silver who defied everything!" he raised his voice.

He smiled and relaxed. "I would have let it go eventually if your mate had just stayed a dead girl, but she came back-a broken beast." "I'm glad you know she's a beast," I muttered audibly.

"But a good one," he retorted. "One that could hunt its offenders and give them tormenting nights."

I glared at him.

"Actually, I liked the beast she became. She reminded me of my mother." Jake snickered and began walking away.

His mother truly was a beast. While my father was Alpha, he always mentioned her revolting him, just like her son was doing to me now. "You must have really liked Rihanna to dislike me so much for hurting her," I said Rih's name for effect.

Jake paused. "Yeah, I liked her," he turned to me. "She seemed like a pure soul, like Ray, who'd serve you despite your flaws."

My flaws? He really knew how to pick his words.

"And I liked her better as she rose like a phoenix. You know she declared Black Rose as her ally, so it meant she really wanted to have a pack."

So, in his words, he'd never agreed with me on anything because I caused a 'pure soul' to become a 'broken beast.'

"You deserve it," my wolf, Zeke, taunted.

Jake began leaving when he saw my Delta. He acted like he hadn't just confronted his Alpha.

I followed behind him and stopped in front of my Delta. "How many warriors did he bring? The guard had said a legion."

The Delta squeezed his face. "A hundred. Blue Bloom and Blue Fire packs are far away and won't respond on time, so we need more men."

"How'd he gather a hundred warriors and bring them here within yesterday and now? Their Alpha must've told them to leave immediately."

I smiled inwardly. At least Alpha Jaden showed his support to me all the time.

"Actually, I didn't want to say, but they were acclaimed allies of Silver Pack, so they sent warriors to build for her. These are those ones." My heart fell. Marcus had spoken about that. It was indeed true. These warriors were the ones who worked for Your Silver?

Why bring them to me? It felt like they betrayed me. I huffed, looking down. Of course, Jake had brought them himself to annoy me. "Thank you. Spread them out. And make sure they find what we are looking for," I said authoritatively, hoping to overwork them. They said Black Rose warriors were really tough. Even after building for Your Silver, they could still transport themselves here within a day. Let me exploit them to my desire, then.

"Yes, Alpha." My Delta bowed, understanding what I implied.

I watched the warrior march out with Jake and my Delta to search for the Luna. It was a futile effort as my warriors had already done that. A smirk was on my face as I strolled back to my chambers, knowing a self-absorbed young man would be searching for nothing in my dark hills. "Chris!" someone barked as my chamber's door closed. It was my father, and I quickly opened it. He'd sped in front and was raging. "What happened? Did something happen to Mother? Vanessa?" He was usually that mad when something happened to them. Like he had been when he found out Your Silver's true identity and that she had hurt his daughter and embarrassed his son. "That girl Rihanna-she's in the second part of the prophecy!" he raged, barging into my room.

I nodded. "I figured already. Beta Sam and his wife informed me before leaving."

He snapped his head at me. "Why did you let them go if they knew that much? I didn't even want to permit them!"

"What? You permitted them."

"I did, but you shouldn't have," he grunted. "I expected you to say it's not safe or something. Now, Rihanna will know and feel more powerful." I was transfixed. He wanted me to not let them go? Why didn't he give a clue or send a guard to tell me? How was I to know those things? Well, Your Silver not knowing the truth of the prophecy wouldn't stop it from happening. I only had to make sure it didn't happen accurately.

"And Vanessa told me Sasha was with child?" my father reduced his tone to ask.

I met his gaze, and it had softened. I confirmed, "According to Vanessa, she was. She didn't tell me before her leave."

"Or disappearance. Your Silver might not have anything to do with it. Someone else could have been involved," my father suggested.

That never crossed my mind. Who'd take my Luna after being annoyed with me? No one else came to mind-unless it was an enemy of Sasha's. "Either way, for it to be on the day Your Silver came, then it meant the person infiltrated our kingdom through Your Silver," he added. Your Silver might not have known, but someone from my pack would know.

"You have the right to request her warriors be investigated or ask your Delta to go. Of course, tell him to be nice so he'd be back complete." Hearing my dad worry about Your Silver being nice to my Delta reminded me of Jake's question: if I could stop her?

"Father, Your Silver wouldn't dare hurt my Delta," I seethed.

He looked at me. "Because they grew up together? You know they weren't close."

"Because he's a royal Delta, Father," I explained. "And he who hurt a royal Delta disrespects the King. No one should disrespect the King."

He understood where I was coming from and nodded. "Then maybe you should be the one to visit her."

Was he joking? There wasn't a smile on his face. He wasn't joking. "Why would I go there?"

"At the creation of a new pack, the Alpha King blesses it to the Moon Goddess-it's tradition. Remind her that you are her King by coming."

I smirked at those words. Yeah, I had to remind her by tomorrow.

She had to know that the treaty she forced me to sign made me her Alpha King.
