Chris POV
This was preposterous. When I awoke, there was a scar running from my face to my neck. It didn’t burn as much, though.
1 leapt from the bed, taking in my surroundings. I had passed out the moment I rested on Edwin..
“Where are we? Where’s Your Silver?” I asked my wolf. He seemed connected from me, no matter how hard I tried to reach him.
A female warrior walked in, wearing the Silver Pack uniform, which confirmed I was at Silver Pack.
Why did Edwin bring me here? Did he and Rihanna let the Lycan get away?
I groaned as I stood up. It felt like a heavy wall had collapsed on my face. Surely, there was more than just silver in that water.
“Where’s your Alpha?” I demanded from the wolfess.
She frowned. “I should ask you, Alpha King. Where’s my Alpha?”
Such audacity. And how would I know where her Alpha was when I had just woken up?
Deciding not to engage her, I wracked my brain for the last thing I could remember.
The Lycan’s outrageous laughter after saying I had read his letter well. Of course I had, and I’d had a solid plan to put him in his place.
“Fine. Where’s Edwin?” I asked the wolfess.
She smiled, folding her arms. “He caused trouble with our lead warrior, so she ordered us to lock him up.”
What the hell? I advanced toward her, but then a memory flashed in my head–the Lycan saying he wanted to kill the Silver Wolf.
I froze, turning to the window. The Silver Wolf was Logan’s target? He had never stated that in the letter.
“Release my Delta now! I need to look for your Alpha,” I ordered, pointing at the girl before running downstairs.
Had Your Silver stayed back to fight the Lycan? That was impulsive she would surely need help.
Once downstairs, I saw Edwin slumped on the ground. I rushed to him, noticing the corners of his lips were bloodstained.
He grunted upon seeing me, trying to get up. Did Dara do this? What was wrong with Silver Pack warriors?
“Alpha, Ray is here… and he’s mad,” Edwin sighed, holding onto me for support as he got up.
Ray was here and mad?
“He did this to you? Why?” I asked Edwin, brushing the blood from his lips.
The door slammed open. It was Ray, and his eyes were blazing orange as they glared at me.
Zeke edged closer to the surface. He never did that for Ray, but perhaps he sensed a threat.

What’s this nonsense?” I frowned.
Ray said nothing, pacing around the room like a predator marking it territory.
Ray, I said, what is this? Why did you beat up Edwin?”
“We didn’t leave Rihanna there to die! The Alpha was badly injured, and I couldn’t fight a Lycan alone!” Edwin shouted at him.
Ray
stormed toward us, his fiery gaze fixed on Edwin.
He didn’t speak to me but rather barked at Edwin, “That’s not an excuse. My sister was badly injured, and the Lycan wasn’t found!”
Edwin stepped forward, fists clenched. “Well, she should’ve run back when the Alpha was hurt, but she stayed-”
“Don’t dare use that as an excuse! She isn’t a coward. Why would sh back away from a fight?” Ray cut him off, his voice sharp with
rage.
Was he indirectly calling me a coward? I exhaled, trying to piece together what had happened, but my memory remained blank.
Ray was always volatile when it came to his sister.
“Where is she? And the Blue Bloom Princess?” I asked, steering the conversation back to what mattered.
He raised a brow. “The Blue Bloom Princess? Why would I know? I left my sister where I thought she’d be safe–Black Rose.”
“Wouldn’t she be safe here?”
“With you in it?” Ray barked, shutting Edwin up completely.
Was he seriously accusing me of endangering his sister? Why would harm her?
The situation escalated so quickly. Your Silver should have retreated when I was injured. The plan was for us both to take Logan
down.
I wondered if Your Silver thought I had purposely left her and turned her into bait.
That would be breaking the treaty I signed. As her Alpha King, her protection was paramount.
“Ray, we didn’t want to leave her there. How bad is she?” I inquired when he finally sat down.
He glanced at me briefly before shifting his glare back to Edwin.
“I left her there and ran back to the forest. I hope she’s okay. She couldn’t even move.”
Edwin hissed under his breath before asking, “Did she get the Lycan
“Is that all you care about? There was no dead body near her, so I guess no. But there was blood–and not all of it was hers,” Ray replied coldly.
Not all hers? Did she bleed? Zeke’s heart dampened. Did she still affect him?
“You weren’t at Black Hills, or we both would’ve gone. The Lycan kidnapped the Blue Bloom Princess and demanded I release her,” I explained, sitting beside Ray.
He nodded, listening, a frown etched on his face.

Chapter 114
Perhaps Edwin forgot that Ray had been the one to bruise him, or maybe he assumed Ray would take his words lightly.
Because his next words were, “The Alpha thought, since you were hurt by the Lycan last time, your sister would do something more impressive.”
It took a moment for his words to sink in, but Ray caught on faster and punched him before I could intervene.
Edwin pushed him back, standing his ground. “What? A Silver Wolf who was almost beaten to death by a Lycan. What’s her ptide for?”
I might have agreed with Edwin–Your Silver was annoyingly proud, and it rubbed off on her disrespectful warriors.
But a Lycan Alpha King was no easy opponent, and since he meant kill her, her survival alone proved her strength.
Still, siding with Edwin wasn’t in my best interest.–Ray could kill him
“Oh really? You think so, huh?” Ray’s voice turned menacing, and his delusional laughter followed. His claws reacted immediately.
I sped to grab his hand just as he raised it to strike Edwin. My Delta retreated, stunned that he had nearly gotten himself killed.
“You forget you’re messing with Ray, right?” I reminded Edwin through our mind link.
He took a few more steps back before walking away entirely.
I shoved Ray’s hand away with a huff. “And you forget you were about to strike my Delta, right?”
Ray dropped his glare, staring at his claws like he didn’t recognize them. He always acted with his claws, never his brain.
