My fists clenched, this time by my will. What was he seeing her for after attempting to kill her!
Whatever excuse you can give, give. I don’t want him seeing my mate!” I replied, shutting my mind link immediately.
I paced around until the door opened, and Jake rushed in. “Jaden, you can’t stop them from seeing her. Chris is with her brother.”
“And he doesn’t know Chris was the one who caused his sister to be like this?!” I barked.
My brother sighed. “Wasn’t it a Lycan…”
“Well, Chris set her up. I am not letting them in. She hasn’t even moved or anything. No one is coming here.” I was resolute.
Jake knew that and shook his head. “I can’t tell them that verbally.”
“Say whatever then. I won’t even host him.”
My brother frowned. “No, you would. Or you’d just be exposing that she’s your mate, or else why would be so emotional.”
My wolf/scoffed. “I still wonder why we hide that she’s our mate.” I ignored him again. Rihanna wanted it that way; I should respect
that.
I sighed. “Fine, give whatever excuse, I’d meet you in a minute.”
He nodded, leaving the room.
My eyes shifted to Rihanna. I squeezed her hand gently, hoping she’d react, but still nothing. She was cold but not dead, I felt that.
“Don’t worry, I’d be back,” I promised before leaving the room. I wiped the worried expression off my face and replaced it with a brighter one.
But my eyes dimmed on Chris on my seat, at the dining table. Was there a reason for him to be on the biggest seat?
On his left was Ray and the supposedly Edwin, Delta of a Black Hills. I specially had a bone to pick with him.
As I got closer, a scar on Chris‘ face became pronounced. And it was recent.
“What happened to you, Alpha King? Accident while teaching the warriors?” I acted like I wasn’t aware he left with Rihanna.
He stood up from the seat. “Actually, it was an uncanny encounter with the Lycan. How’s Your Silver?” he shook my hands.
Why did he still address her as ‘Your Silver‘?
Either he was quite obedient about her request to never call her ‘Rihanna‘, or he hadn’t gotten over her being his dread.
“As Jake said,” I answered, taking a seat beside Ray who was oddly quiet.
My brother looked blankly. “Um… I had said you’d report to them when you meet them.”
“Really?” I asked him in mind link.
He shrugged. “Yeah,” he smirked, walking off.

Chapter 117
I turned to the visitors. “She asleep. And would be better. No visiters are needed until she awakes. Meanwhile, how had that happened?
“We weren’t there. And believe me, it could have been avoided,” Edwin replied.
faced him, but from the corner of my eyes, I noticed Ray’s fist clenched. Perhaps I shouldn’t dig more into what he meant.
“Well, since the Lycan is the sole cause of her predicament. Why not we go look for it?” I suggested.
Chris shook his head. “He should be badly injured now. I don’t think we should search for him now…”
“If he’s injured, that’s better leverage against him. He attacked an Alpha and Alpha King. Who next? We should do something,” I remarked.
Ray shifted uncomfortably on his seat. “My warriors can’t help here. How do you suggest we go about it?”
“We don’t need warriors. Alpha King and I can go, alone,” I increased tone at the last part.
That was actually suggested by my wolf, and I doubt he had good intentions. But I wouldn’t stop him.
