Chapter Eighty–Three Mutual Dislike
Jaden’s POV
I let Rihanna walk in first before I joined her, watching everyone’s reaction..
Ray seemed to have realized she was around, perhaps the twin telepathy. He smiled before meeting her gaze. “Welcome, Alpha.”
Jake laughed at the gesture. “Yeah, welcome to Black Rose, Alpha.”
The warriors chorused pleasantries as she came close to the table, a deserved, she was an Alpha under their Kingdom.
Cara had murmured a pleasantry as well.
Rihanna smiled. “Yeah, I am glad you warriors found hospitality here Silver Pack is a bit too dangerous for y’all.”
There was very little mockery laced on each word. Could she stop? Her brother was literally leading this team.
But even Ray smirked at her words. “Yeah, it’s dangerous. And I bet we wouldn’t have been fed.”
“Certainly.” She replied, then tilted her head to see Cara. “But it’d be nice to make some good relationships though.”
I smiled internally; it was nice she was trying to make a good relationship with her brother’s mate. Cara must have misunderstood
her.
However, Cara didn’t meet her gaze and kept on eating. Jake frowned and was about to call her, but I told him not to, through mind
link.
“Or not.” Rihanna shrugged, seeing Cara’s unwillingness towards her “Anyway, Alpha Jaden. Private talk please?”
I nodded, and she walked towards me, wearing a straight face.
Ray glanced at his mate, but she didn’t also meet his gaze. I could already hear the argument they would have after this.
Only I wasn’t sure what Cara’s excuse would be for being cold to Rihanna. At least Rihanna tried.
“You’ve been an amazing host. My team and I will be leaving now.” Ray stood up. Cara joined in, not looking at me.
The talk I planned to have with him would wait until we met again. He had urgent issues. “Fine, I’d be glad if you stopped by again.”
“Unlikely so don’t hope on it.” He made a tight–lipped smile before trooping off, his warriors bowed in thanks as they left.
I swerved to my right and rushed to meet Rihanna in the other room
“Don’t tell Rihanna that Cara doesn’t like her.” I heard in my mind link from Ralph.
He wasn’t in the room at the moment. “Cara’s hatred or whatever isn’t strong, so Rihanna shouldn’t dwell on it.”
I smiled. “Sure. And you, don’t be annoyed at Rihanna’s brother. You know Ray is quite outspoken.”
“I know.” He switched off mind link.

Chapter 109
Inside the room, Rihanna was peeking through the window, watching her brother and his team leave. I saw the small pout on her face.
I chuckled, getting her attention. “When I told you to walk in, I meant to talk with your brother, but you stayed out.”
She folded her arms, moving away from the window, her pout slowly fading to a frown.
“I didn’t get it. How’d I just barge in? And good thing I didn’t, did you see Cara’s face? That bitch. She should be happy she got Ray at last.”
My pupils dilated. She sounded like she also didn’t like Cara. “Why?
She shrugged. “Well, she had always glued around Ray for long, saying she had a crush on him. I didn’t like her for that.”
It seemed it was a mutual dislike. “Wait, if she had a crush on him, then she already knew they were mates somehow?” I asked.
“Meh. I don’t know. But Ray only figured it out after meeting me, with her, three years later, so…” Rihanna rolled her eyes.
She waited that long before her mate accepted her? It hurts. But Rihanna wouldn’t get it as a mate was just an accessory to her.
“If she knows that’s why he delayed mating her, she had every right to dislike you…” I noted.
“Oh, so the reason I left should be discounted? Also, she doesn’t worth my brother, but I’d forgive it. Tch. Anyway…” Rih flipped her
hair.
She was looking very pissed with the current topic, so I willingly changed it. “What rogues were the Lycan using, by the way?”
She slid a sword from my cabinet, admiring it. “You once killed the leader of this rogue group and told his members to return to
their pack.”
Lots of rogue leaders had been ended under my heels; I can’t even remember their faces.
“It was cool you did. Actually, I thought it was Jake. Don’t you remember the man? He tried killing me even?” she swung the sword.
I really wanted to remember him and scowl at the fool that nearly killed my mate, but nothing was forthcoming.
“Can’t remember. And be gentle with the sword; it’s quite sharp.” I warned, but before I finished, the sword was pointed at me.
“Really?”
“Yes, really. Do you insinuate I can’t use a sword?” her forehead creased.
She was sensitive. “I only warned to be careful. You aren’t used to people worrying about you?”
She dropped the sword. “No, my parents didn’t. I was all I got. Wanna duel? We’d talk on how to get the Lycan after Ray fails to.”
She smirked.
“You know he will fail to catch him?”
“Of course, the Lycan is using rogues, meaning he’s hiding somewhere, healing. He won’t dare come out until he’s healed.” She reported.
That was actually a good thought. And Ray should have known to avoid wasting his efforts.
She snapped her fingers. “Come on. Where’s your training ground? If I’m able to break this sword and win, then you’d give it
me.”

Chapter 109
What will she use a broken sword for? And that sword was hard to break. “Fine. If I win?”
“Meh. Think of something. What do you want that I can give?” she questioned, going behind the room.
My wolf began dropping weird ideas. Thoughts dirty and won’t be happening. “You forget Rihanna is your mate, not your Luna.”
“Mates are prohibited from kissing each other?”
I literally cringed when he asked. “Stop. I won’t want that just because I won a duel. I’d think of something.”
At the training ground, there were two warrior suits, a female’s and male’s. Used by my parents, but I never touched them afterward.
One reason was the male suit was my dad’s, and I wasn’t close to him. And two, the female suit had no one to wear it except now.
Rihanna was trying to loosen the waist belt. “Why is it this small? The previous owner of this must be really slim?”
“Or have really small waist.” I corrected.
She frowned, keeping her hands on her waist. “Well, I have a small waist.” She pursed her lips.
I realized what I said and shook my head. “I didn’t mean that. Of course you do…” I trailed off.
She raised a brow with a hidden smirk. “What?”
“I didn’t say… I mean you… It’s my mom’s suit. I wasn’t just…” I pointed at the suit and then her. My words just finished.
“Whatever. Let’s go. I’d vent by winning you. Wear yours too.” She threw the male suit towards me.
I caught it, staring at it for seconds. We wearing an Alpha and Luna vest? Did she mean she accepted being my Luna? Or was I overthinking?
