You Rejected A Silver Wolf

Chapter Hundred and Forty-Eight - Craving Reactions

Chris's POV

"Jaden, are you alright?" I shifted closer.

He gazed at me with a tired expression, then sighed. His head slowly shook in the negative.

"Do you feel tired? What happened?" I used a tender tone and skipped my forehand plan of scolding him.

He sighed again, then placed his injured arm on the table. "Rihanna had a charm- more like poison-she wanted to use on Logan."

"Why'd your Silver want to use a charm on him? Could she wield charms?" Had she been taking lessons from Red Moon?

Jaden gazed at me, clearly annoyed. "Could you call her 'Rihanna' with me? Please?" I'd like to. "Sure. So, how'd she wield it?"

"I think it's supposed to work when it comes in contact with blood. There's no special way to wield it. But Logan set me up for it instead."

The low enthusiasm in his voice he sounded pained by what had happened to him. Or maybe something else worried him.

"How's Rihanna?" I asked, wanting to be sure.

He sighed again, confirming my suspicion that she was what actually worried him—not his condition. "I wasn't there for her. She blacked out."

There for her? That sounded passionate.

I nodded, thinking of ways to make him reveal if he and Rihanna were really a thing. "Should that be your problem now? His blood is infected, and that's all you can think of?" Zeke yelled.

"I'm sorry you had to leave your pack this early, though," Jaden added, forcing a small smile.

I smiled back. "I received news that Rihanna was injured, so I had to rush here."

His forehead creased slightly, but the small smile remained. "Sure."

Craving a more defined reaction, I added, "Her safety is really important to me."

He glanced at me, his expression carrying a hint of disdain. "It's important to all of us."

My tongue stuck out a bit as I looked at him. "Yeah, she's the only Silver Wolf our kingdom's got the only chance against Logan."

He didn't seem to agree as he looked away.

"I'd protect her because we're friends. Being the only Silver Wolf shouldn't be the reason you protect her. You should know there's more to her."

I bet that was the more he saw.

I stood up from the seat we shared. "Of course, I know that. There's a whole deal to her. Very much."

"I'm glad you accept that," Jaden exhaled. "And if she meets Logan again, protect her." Why was he sounding like he wouldn't be there when she did?

"Yeah, I will. I do have a soft spot for the Silver Wolf." I watched his reaction closely.

His arm stiffened, and he slowly turned to me with a darkened glare. "But you shouldn't be having a soft spot for her when you have a wife."

I shook my head, finally getting the reaction I wanted-direct opposition.noveldrama

I waved my arms. "Don't misunderstand me. I mean as her Alpha King, that's all."

He looked from me to his shoulder. "Worry about me too. I haven't the faintest clue what to do about this."

"Yeah, a cure would surely be at Boots and Rivers market." Those people sold anything.

"I don't know about this. Logan said there was no cure. He even added it wouldn't have worked on him since it didn't work on Lycans."

Now that's crazy-but again, he might be bluffing.

"Don't take his word for it. But if there's really no cure, would you cut the arm so it wouldn't spread?"

I bit my lip as the words left my mouth. That was not an option-I shook the thought from my head. "No, don't do that. There has to be a way."

Even if my brain couldn't crack something up yet, I knew it wouldn't end this way.

I might not be entirely sure, but Jaden could be Rihanna's mate and if he were, then he was destined to be the Alpha King.

This little setback couldn't stop it. If Logan managed to, then my kingdom would be doomed.

"How's Logan?" I delved into another topic that worried me.

Jaden replied, "He's below the volcano between your pack and Blue Fire pack. He's unconscious down there."

So that's where Logan had been?

Protected by the volcano and in the opposite direction of where my warriors and Ray had been looking.

"If so, then you and Rihanna did a good job of weakening him. Maybe I should try finishing him off?" I suggested, rising to leave.

"No!" Jaden held me back. "Logan leveled up somehow. I couldn't help, and Rihanna tried taking him on alone. She didn't succeed."

But the Lycan was below the volcano-at the mercy of the Moon Goddess if she decided to make it erupt.

"Didn't she succeed if the Lycan is unconscious?" I frowned.

Or was he calling it a failure because she ended up injured?

"We had help," Jaden explained. "A Lycan named Liam saved me and helped beat Logan. He said he'd met you."

My eyes widened as I rose to my feet. "Where's that Liam? That boy is a Lycan!" Slowly, I processed Jaden's words. He had a confused expression, so I sat down again.

If Liam had saved him and beaten Logan, then he wasn't on Logan's side. "Calm down. He's an active kid-don't engage him. Also, I really don't know where he is," Jaden responded.

I tempered down, feeling for the energy of the scoundrel. "That boy has great dark energy."

Even if I didn't kill him, he had to pay for hurting my Delta-but he was nowhere around.

Jaden confirmed, "Yes, it bothered me at first. But like he said, his wolf, Pedro, was the crazy part. I understood him too well."

Since Jaden wasn't worried about another Lycan in our kingdom, I decided to brush it

off.

If Liam had gotten to see Jaden-the one he'd been gushing about-then he must have gone back to wherever he came from.

"Alright then. Take care of yourself and the Silver Wolf. I'll go around and ask Red Moon if there's a cure for this," I said, lifting myself from the seat.

His eyes lit up, and he left his seat, suddenly energized. "This hadn't crossed my mind.

Red Moon makes charms, so they'd know."

I nodded, even if I'd never want to use Red Moon's charms and sorcery to solve any issue related to me.

"Thank you!" Jaden added.

It pleased my heart that he was finally seeing hope in his situation. I patted his arm with a smile.

"Sure. And please no other reckless meeting with Logan. Let's meet him together and end it."

The Black Rose Alpha nodded, and I sped off.
