Who’s Your Master?
Chapter Fifteen
Who’s Your Master?
Rihanna’s POV
Years had passed. Lana and I were no longer the vengeful silver wolf that wanted to get back at all those who offended us. Now, all we wanted was to get back at those who offended anyone, especially the weak.
For three years, that had been our goal: destroying slave ports, releasing abused omegas, and making sure their Alphas couldn’t say a damn thing.
But during one such rescue of an omega, I saw a secret message being sent to the Red Moon about another, even more dangerous threat. It was addressed in a familiar way. The Evil. Like in the prophecy. The prophecy I was a part of. It had to be the evil I was destined to stop somehow. And I needed to know what, or who, it was.
The message had been sent by an omega, but she said it was given to her by the hunters of Black Rose, who were working under higher authorities. I felt it was related to the incident where the Red Moon Pack wanted to kill an official in the Black Rose Pack.
Camilla had eavesdropped on her brother being commanded to kill the man, or risk having him destroy them. Whatever the Red Moon Pack wanted to protect shouldn’t be protected. Whatever the Delta knew, he wasn’t ready to tell anyone–not even his Alpha.
Since it was related to me, I took it upon myself to kidnap the hunters and get my answers. They were once warriors.
Dara nodded and made a small bow as I approached the prison cells. “I blindfolded them so they won’t know who you are,” she said.
I scoffed. “They’ll hear my voice and know I’m not male. I don’t care about that. They won’t be leaving anytime soon, anyway.”
I threw the door open. The four men shivered as I walked in. The room was dark, and I could barely see where they lay, but I could feel their energy. I could smell their fear.
My eyes shifted to a shade of orange, and in a flash, I lifted one of them off the ground.
He groaned, struggling. “Let me go! Your Silver, please! I have a family, please!”
I threw him to the ground as per his request and dragged the blindfold off another’s eyes. orange orbs.

I saw confusion in his eyes, realizing I was a woman. For three years, they’d been scammed. Not my fault, anyway.
I brought my hands to my mouth and made a quiet shh sound. “Don’t beg or yell, or you’ll die,” I whispered, then made a small, mocking pout.
He nodded quickly, placing his fingers over his own mouth. I gestured for Dara to take him away. She walked in and dragged him from the prison.
I looked back at the remaining men, trembling and shaking. They had lost their energy, and would be useless for the torment I wanted them to feel.
The man I had chosen was the most energetic, which meant he was their lead hunter–the best person to ask.
A bucket of cold water was poured over his face to shock his nerves. He screamed, but bit it down.
“Hello, Your Silver here!” I called out to him, seated on my throne of stone, grimy with dried blood. “Can I have your attention, please?”

He forced his head up to look at me, water dripping from his hair in his face and mouth. He looked like a wet puppy. That was the best compliment I could give, because he was kind of cute,
I slapped the flat part of my knife against my palm. “Do you serve the Delta of Black Rose Pack, or do you serve the Beta, Jake Justin?”
His expression stiffened, but he nodded. “The Delta handles the hunters. The Beta handles the warriors.”
I pursed my lips, nodding. Something similar happened in our pack,xcept that the Beta instructed both the warriors and the hunters, while the Delta fought alongside them. So, the Delta was more battle–worthy than the Beta. Ironic. I wondered if that was what Alpha Wayne wanted, or if it was my father’s choice.
“Jake Justin isn’t the Beta of Black Rose Pack either,” the man huffed, seeming to dislike Jake.
“Not now, but he will be. He’s the Alpha’s son.”
“He’s only a representative to other packs, and the favorite of his ungles! Our Alpha bore two sons. The eldest is the Alpha.” The man’s retort was bitter,
I hated bitter people, and how dare he raise his voice at me?
I slammed my hands on the armrests of my throne. Dara immediately poured another bucket of icy water over him, making him shriek,
Why had she done that? I pondered over what he had said. Jake wasn’t the next Alpha–he had an elder brother. I hadn’t expected that. And what did he mean by bore? Was the Alpha a woman? That would be iconic. There were so few female Alphas, and I’d heard about the wonders of this Black Rose Alpha.
Duchess Vivian of my old pack was originally from Black Rose, and she always spoke of the Alpha’s heroism but left out her gender.
“Fine. Since Jake Justin isn’t Beta, then who is? Who’s your master? The Delta or the Beta? Speak now, or I’ll tear you to pieces,” I
threatened.
He was panting heavily. “My master is the Delta. I don’t know why you’re targeting him, but he’s innocent and loyal.”
“That’s for Your Silver to decide, not you.” Dara threw a block of ice at him.
I smirked. “If your Delta is so loyal and innocent, why is he messaging the Red Moon Pack that your Alpha hates?” I folded my
arms.
The man shook his head. “He’s trying to keep the peace. The past Delta made a lot of mistakes and once sent Red Moon hunters
after him.”
I sighed. Of course, the new Delta would be different from the old one. He’d be the son of the past Delta. After the Alpha King’s coronation, it was customary for other packs to change their leaders within three years.
“The new Delta might be loyal and innocent, but I need information on what his father knew. Can you give me a way to meet with
him?”
The man looked up at me, indecisive. “If you meet him, either you die or he dies. He won’t let you go. And if Jake is with hun, you won’t stand a chance. Stick to troubling the packs that deal in slave trade and let us go.”
I slammed my fist on my throne. “I decide what to do, not you!” Dara sensed my anger and poured more cold water over the man’s body.
“If you don’t give me that chance, you and your men will die in the most horrible way since you’d be useless to me,” I tilted my

head.
“What’s it going to be, then?”
He gritted his teeth painfully and looked down. “Fine. I’ll let my Delth and the Alpha’s son tear you to shreds.”
A grin spread across my face. “They’re free to try.”
