You Rejected A Silver Wolf

Chapter One Hundred and Sixty-One - His Change

Chris's POV

Logan had a dirty game planned, and he wanted everyone to play along.

He had already forced Jaden into it by holding his Beta hostage.

He dragged Red Moon into it by kidnapping three of their pack members who sold charms.

I wondered who he was targeting next.

Perhaps my sister should be at my pack to prevent me from overthinking.

Ray rushed into the stable, looking pissed.

"What now?" I jumped down from my horse.

"I just heard that Rihanna took a pleasure trip to Sun Burn Kingdom," he grunted. "What if Logan attacks her pack?"

I blinked furiously before sighing. She could be reckless, but I doubted it was just a fun trip.

Sun Burn Kingdom was our international ally, and she knew that. She might have gone looking for a favor against Logan.

Though it would be better if her Alpha King had some clue. Or her mate, at least.

Jaden had already informed all the packs to be extremely cautious and guard their borders fiercely. Logan could strike from anywhere.

"I'm glad I didn't send the letter to Jaden telling him Logan was still unconscious," my Beta said.

I turned to him and nodded. That Lycan had once again been shady, but thankfully, Ray hadn't let us spread the news.

Logan was really growing powerful if he could sense us from far away and prepare that prank.

"I also wonder and fear what charm he wants those poor sellers to make for him," I voiced my thoughts out loud.

Ray climbed his horse and led it out of the stable. "Maybe something that would weaken Alpha wolves. Or worse."

"Where are you off to?" I asked, watching him ride out hurriedly.

"To stay with our warriors! Logan shouldn't have anything on us! You should go and get Vanessa back too!" he replied, leaving.

He must have read my mind. I climbed my horse again and followed him.

"Raymond, wait up!"

Together, we raced past the border, despite the disapproving glares from Cara.

Soon, Ray swerved toward the warriors while I kept going ahead. I rubbed my horse's neck as I noticed him slowing down.

There was no reason for him to slow down-except for the shrill cries of birds. What was that even about?

"C'mon!" I urged him, and he picked up speed again. We were getting closer to Black Rose's forest.

But at the entrance, my horse stopped abruptly, almost throwing me off. I leaped to the ground and grabbed his reins.

"What's wrong with you?"

He was restless and wanted to leave the place. But for some reason, I couldn't sense the danger he felt.

I took out my whip and flashed it in front of him, making him aware that if he didn't behave, I would use it. He calmed down eventually.

I didn't bother riding him and instead walked into the forest.

The air around me was eerie, as if there was a presence lurking within the woods. Not a dark one, so it wouldn't be Liam.

It also didn't feel like Logan's-unless I wasn't sure.

A small animal scurried under my legs.

It made my horse neigh loudly, and I crouched down. I glared at him.

"Could you stop being dramatic?"

He was Vanessa's horse, and since I was here to pick her up, I had brought him. But he seemed to have the same dramatic energy as his owner.

We got around Black Rose's border.

I knew their warriors were rough with rogues, so I thought of a way to alert them without getting too close.

I tried tying the horse to a tree, but he shrieked and began galloping in circles.

What in the hell was this?

I had never wanted so badly to be able to communicate with horses.

An intimidating energy filled the air around me.

The horse lowered itself, lying on the ground in submission.

Was it this presence that had been troubling him?

I gazed at the figure approaching, readying myself for an attack.

"Horses. I hate them."

The person had Jaden's voice, but not his aura.

"Alpha Chris, were you just passing by or coming to see me?"

It was actually Jaden when he came fully into view. He wore a black sleeveless jacket with suede black trousers.

His hair had grown longer and covered part of his eyes. It was... quite hot, though.

Hadn't it been only three days since I last saw him?

"Um... coming to see you," I replied carefully.

He tilted his head and nodded. "Welcome, then."

As he passed the horse, it neighed softly, as if greeting him, but Jaden ignored it.noveldrama

"I'll keep the horse at the stables. It will be okay."

I found myself nodding and following him obediently. The horse was also obedient. Was it Jaden's energy that had consumed the forest, making it feel gloomy and unsettling the animals?

"Jaden, are you doing okay?" I asked.

We had just turned onto the path leading to the border gate. He shrugged. "I'm doing

as fine as I can be. Why?"

"I know you're worried about Ralph, but you seem to be... I'm not sure." It was

strange.

The border warriors lowered their weapons and bowed as we walked through the gate.

Jaden closed his visible eye and exhaled.

"I wasn't able to conserve my energy, and my wolf is acting crazy."

How was that an answer to my question?

"Maybe I'll get myself back when Ralph and the rest are safe. For now, I'm not sure either."

When he flashed me his usual smile, I smiled back.

As long as he could still force a smile, he would be okay when things returned to

normal.

Another reason he might be growing gloomier was that his mate wasn't around to cheer him up. I wondered how they were managing.

"You know Rihanna left for Sun Burn Kingdom on a trip, right?" I asked.

He looked down and nodded. "I hope she returns with something worthwhile. We

need to face Logan knowing we have the upper hand."

Yeah. And without a Silver Wolf to at least defend us with her barrier, we could end up

only riling Logan up and getting innocents killed.

"I don't know what Sun Burn Kingdom can offer us against Logan, but we should

hope," I said.

He led me past the courtroom and toward a training ground. I paused.

What was he doing?

With his energy giving off that gloomy aura, I wasn't sure about dueling with him.

"Oh, we aren't dueling. I just want to get some gifts Jake dropped off for you to give to

Ray," he said without turning to me.

I heaved a sigh of relief before following him obediently. His energy was really intimidating.
