Chris’s POV
“My Alpha!” Sasha ran to me as I was seated on the ground, flipping through books.
I rolled my eyes so hard I felt them stuck behind my head for a second. “My Alpha, you have guests.” She said as she came to where I was.
“Who?” I asked, not raising my head from the books I was looking at.
“Beta Gaius from Red Moon pack, he said he had an offer concerning the Silver wolf. He got an order that you….”
“I will come to see him!” I barked, shutting her up. “I will come to see him then hear what he says. Don’t speak for him.”
She went back slowly, looking dejectedly.
I knew she had only been working harder, acting like a maid and informing me of visits because of preparations of Jaden’s staying being missed.
“Leave my room now!” I pointed outside the door. She went past the door but stayed outside. I glared at her. “I meant get out.”
“You should see your guest. I’d like to be in MY room as you leave.” she replied, with a hidden eye roll.
Her room? She was back to her bitchy self, wasn’t she? This room was never her room. She was my Luna not my
wife.
And also she was my pack’s Luna not mine. I still await a second chance mate if the moon goddess will ever grant me such.
“Sasha, I’d break you if you don’t get out!”
She stomped her feet. “And why? I am your wife! It is because of Jaden not staying then I became less than a wife to you?”
“You know you’ve always been less than a wife to me, don’t you? I made it clear.” I replied.
She paused, breathing heavily. “For the last three years, you treated me like we were only pals, I didn’t know you never saw me as a wife.”
“You were stupid not to figure.” I chuckled.
How could she be that lame when she had a sharp tongue? Couldn’t her brain work as fast as her tongue?
“I never liked you, never wanted you. Just stay on being my Luna and bed warmer, when I need you.” I stood from the ground.
“Maybe,” I advanced to her. “You’d find your own mate after I find mine, and I’d let you go in peace. After all, seem barren.”

She gulped down saliva painfully, the act made me smile. “Aren’t you?” my smile faded and I walked away from
her.
She slumped to the ground and began sobbing but I didn’t care, I barely cared before.
Getting closer to the court room, I breathed in and out and assumed a happy expression, then continued to see

Beta Gaius.
“What favor do your Alpha want from me, Gaius?” I enquired, as I sat on the throne.
He bowed and a smile was on his face as he rose. I bet a stupid request was threatening to leave his lips.
“My great Alpha King, may you live forever!” he spread his hands. I nodded, he should get on with whatever was up his sleeve.
“Red Moon had accomplished a wonderful feát, one that surpasses your expectations!” he laughed. “More than you’d believe.”
It sounded interesting, and almost untrue. There was nothing they’d offer I didn’t have power to command, so I had it already.
Playing his game, I nodded and gestured for him to speak. “Surprise me.”
He clapped his hands and two soldiers walked in with a huge banner – no, it was a portrait. A creature was drawn
on it.
As they came closer, the creature became clearer and it resembled a wolf, standing in it’s hind legs? That could only be a Lycan!
I went back on my throne as they dropped the portrait on my feet, what did they mean by sending a Lycan’s portrait to me?
“You looked surprised, my King.” Beta Gaius smirked. I had to be, this was the least of my expectations at the
moment.
“What does this signify? Is a Lycan around my kingdom?” barked, expecting an answer.
But Gaius and the two men who brought the portrait in, all had relaxed smiles. I decided to chill as well, not to act too terrified of a possibly lone Lycan.
“This is the gift we have for you, my King.”
“A portrait of a Lycan?” they better be joking.
He shrugged. “Yes, but it is the portrait of the last Lucan to walk the earth, the portrait was taken by our finest artist.”
I left my throne and strolled to Beta Gaius, the smirk on his face slowly faded.
“If you don’t spit everything about this Lycan out, I’d break you in pieces.” My wolf seemed to share the same view as my eyes turned red.
Gaius moved back. He should know that a Lycan threatened my government and the peace of my people. Why dawdle with the news?
Did Red Moon have a Lycan? Where was the Lycan they took the portrait from? How was a portrait of a Lycan a gift to an Alpha Werewolf?
“I fear that I have displeased you, my King, while trying to build tension for my request.” He scrunched his nose.
I rolled my eyes and returned back to my throne. Tension my foot, the only thing their requests gave me were night of thinking,
“Red Moon is willing to trade the silver wolf with a gift of our own. One you’d like to have, I hope.” He smiled, gesturing to his servants to leave.

Was he still building ‘tension‘ with me? He should speak already! And trade the silver wolf? Why should I? What was worth a silver wolf?
“We have the last Lycan on earth. Lycan Wolf Logan the second!” he announced, with a proud smirk.
There must’ve been crickets in the room as they wasn’t any sound or reaction from either me or the palace guards, staying at the edge.
“You have a Lycan with you? How is that possible?” that was the only interesting thing in what he said.
The Lycan being the last or named Logan, the second, was none of my business. I had no clue who the wolf was.
“Our warriors caught him at the north of our city, asleep. Using sleep paralysis, we caught him.” Beta Gaius shrugged.
“Sleep paralysis only work on omegas and lower ranked hunters! How can it work on a Lycan?” I scoffed, taking it as a bad joke.
“I don’t know but it did. We took this portrait of him, see fresh ink. How dare I lie to you, Alpha?” he fell on his knees.
I exhaled, he wasn’t lying and I could sense that. But that was what troubled me. And he spoke on trading?
Was I supposed to trade a Lycan with a silver wolf that was an answer to prophesies? And there it was, another night of thinking.
