Chapter Eighty–Nine – Annoyin
Chris’s POV
Ray finally sat down, and I tried mind linking Edwin, but he was out of reach. I wanted to leave here. I was surely not welcomed here.
“Let’s go see your sister, Ray. I am really sorry about everything,” I id.
He said nothing but got up again and walked to the door. I followed.
Dara was the first person I saw. She raised her head on seeing me. Ray passed her, and she didn’t react, but when I did, she rolled her eyes.
I got it that Ray was their Alpha’s brother, so they’d cut him slack, but they needed to understand I was their Alpha King.
“My warriors will stay at the border until your Alpha is capable enough to return,” I turned to tell her.
Of course, I didn’t care and only wanted to piss her off. Surely, I should make her feel useless because she’d be killed by me for hurting Sasha.
Dara snapped her head at me. “No!” she challenged. “That’s my border, and I don’t need anyone to stay there for me.”
As I expected, only with less challenging spirit. “It’s an order, Dara. Your Alpha isn’t here for now, so what I say stands…”
“Says who!” she barked, interrupting me. “My Beta and Delta are here, so what you say can’t ever stand in…”
She trailed off when she looked behind me. I raised a brow, following her gaze. Behind me was Ray and the Silver Pack Beta, Beatrice.
I folded my arms. “I’d talk to you directly since you’re higher than this mad dog. My warriors will stay at your borders,” I said to Beatrice.
“But doesn’t Beta Ray need them to search for the Lycan?” she asked calmly.
I shook my head. “Forget the Lycan. He’d be handled later. Nothing should happen to your pack while your Alpha is down.”
“She’d be back up, we don’t need you to help,” Dara walked in front of me to say.
I smirked. “What happened to your Alpha is partly my fault, so I want to take responsibility…”
“No,” Dara interrupted again. It was becoming infuriating.
“Beta Ray told us, it is fully your fault, take responsibility by finding the Lycan and killing it, not…”
“Dara!” it was Ray. “Shutdown!”
He sounded like she was a robot on full power and really needed a shutdown.
The Silver Pack Beta was quite chill, with an unreadable expression. Dara, let me handle this.”
“Nothing to handle. Just let the warriors stay at the borders. I’d be leaving now,” I said to the Beta.

She swallowed down saliva and closed her eyes for a while, “Yes, we let your warriors stay. But we do not owe them food or water.
She’d let them stay? That made it feel like I asked her permission, I didn’t. “They don’t need your food or water,” I replied.
She smiled, then briskly walked off, pulling Dara by the arm. Ray had an amused smirk before it faded off seeing me watch him.
“C’mon,” I nudged him, and we left the building, heading towards the carriage.
My mind link was tugged on as I got to the carriage. I gestured for y to get in while I stood out, opening my mind link.
“Chris, how are you doing? I heard from some warriors that you got scarred on the face. Stop by, I have something for you.”
Hearing Beta Sam’s voice in my head didn’t annoy me as I thought would.
He wasn’t part of my pack anymore, yet could still infiltrate my mind link.
I pondered hard if I should go with Ray, but I decided against it. “Go ahead, I’d come myself. I’d talk with someone and meet at Black Rose.”
When I peeked in, I found that Edwin was in there already.
Would they fight if I leave them alone? “And please, no bantering,” added.
Edwin didn’t react and totally acted like we two didn’t exist.
That was acceptable, for now. I tapped the carriage so it began leaving.
As they were out of sight, I swerved towards the main pack. I expected the Beta and his wife would be kept closer to the Alpha’s
mansion.
I was wrong. I found them at the center of the pack. Beta Sam’s wife had a small bakery, and lots of pups circled her. That was new.
“My husband is inside,” she said, not sparing me a glance.
I stood there still, watching a little boy make holes in his cake. He stabbed like a psychopath, the holes he made were huge.
The crazier part was the small smile on his face. I came closer, and he stopped, looking up at me.
His lips were pursed, and he wore a guilty expression. I felt his neck would hurt as he kept staring up at me, so I sat down.
“If you’re done eating, you can give someone else,” I said.
His eyes darted to the Beta Sam’s wife then back at me. “She said I should eat it all. And I want to, or else Alpha will kill me.”
Oh really? He had Rihannaphobia. I could relate to that. I chuckled. She wouldn’t literally.”
“She would. Last time, a horse died because he was stubborn to her. She said she’d kill me if I don’t listen,” he pouted.
Wow. He was only nine and was already this traumatized. I gently left the seat I was on.
“He is Beatrice’s son,” Beta Sam said behind me. I turned and pointed at the boy. The Beta nodded. “Not biological,” he added in
mind link.
I gave the boy one glance before strolling away from him. “That kid will have anger issues,” I told Sam.

I had those symptoms as a klib and it took a lot of maturity to dilute them. My father pushing his opinions and fear in me caused
them.
Sam threw a lotion at me. I caught it before it fell and perused its labels.
It will lighten the scar, and if you rub it regularly, it will be gone. now you are visiting Black Rose, so I wanted you to look your best.”
“Things you did for my dad, right?” I smiled. “My dad used to tell me how glad he was that you had beauty products in case he injured.”
Sam chuckled, shaking his head. “He never said he was grateful. I’m pressed to know he was.”
My smile faded. My father had really treated Sam wrongly. “He was really thankful of you.”
Sam shrugged, looking away. “Nice to know.”
There was silence afterwards. Į raised the lotion, nodding then, gesturing that I’d be leaving. He nodded, waving goodbye.
We said no other words, and I walked out of the house. I saw the boy again, stabbing at the cake again. I sighed before moving out.
