You Rejected A Silver Wolf
Against You–1
Chapter Eleven – Against You
Chris’s POV
After Jake left me outside and walked in, I stayed, watching the stars and asking the Moon Goddess if Rih was up there. I wanted to know if she could see her curses on me coming true. Black Rose Pack should be my closest ally, but they were the first to challenge me a few hours after my coronation as their King. To say it didn’t bother me would be a lie–it greatly did. This wasn’t a very admirable first day as Alpha King for me. And knowing that it was because I led to the death of their true Luna, I couldn’t really blame their behavior.
I heard my father clear his throat behind me. I turned and saw that is long black hair had been cut short. He had always wanted it short, but due to the harsh temperatures at unconventional battlegrounds, he had to keep it long for protection. Now, I was the one to bear all that. My blonde hair stopped at my ears, though.
My father looked at the stars I was staring at and asked, “What are you doing here? You should be inside with your guests.”
“I’ve met them all,” I said simply. It wasn’t like they had any words of wisdom for me.
My father stood beside me. “I saw you and Jake. Don’t mind him, he’s been a difficult kid.”
I nodded, feeling no comfort in his words. How could I not mind him? One day, he’s being the most supportive person; the next, he isn’t.
“And as Alpha King, you should be dealing with his older brother,” my father added.
I snapped my head to my father but quickly brought it back to the stars. Jake’s older brother–the person he said would be the Alpha. That’s why Jake had such an attitude–it was the youngest child syndrome: picky and with an attitude.
“I’ll keep that in mind. Did you hear they were attacked by a rogue silver wolf?” I probed, wanting to know how much he knew.
He confirmed with a nod. “If he’s a silver wolf, Jake Justin can’t defeat him that easily. He seems to have so much hate inside.”
I agreed with his words. The rogue may only be after Black Rose and not other packs. Maybe the rogue broke from a pack they had angered. Jake Justin would surely need help in the long run, and he’d come to me, his Alpha King. “I’ll hold Jake Justin to that. Don’t worry.”
A smirk crossed my face as I envisioned Jake rushing to me, horror in his eyes, complaining about how the silver wolf wrecked his warriors. In my mercy and power, I could release the best of my royal warriors to combat and subdue the threat, leaving Jake grateful to me.
My bubble of self–delight burst when my father’s next words cut through it. “Jake will always have. something against you.”
Was he cursing me? Why was everyone against me this year? “What do you mean? What would he have against me?”
My father faced me, keeping one arm on the balcony’s rail. “You rejected the official Luna. It’s against the rules as Alpha King to do
- SO.
A wall around my heart, one I had been trying to rebuild since Rih’s death, shattered again. She would always haunt me.
“My father made that rule after he had his silver wolf mate. It wasn’t just because Alphas rarely get a second mate, but because whichever mate they get is the best choice for Luna Queen.”
“Then why did you call Rihanna a curse in front of me?” I barked, cutting him off.

A frown deepened on his face. He took his arm off the balcony’s rail crossing both arms behind his back. “Rih was weak.”
