Rihanna’s POV
The boy we seized was the Beta’s in–law, and the Black Rose Alpha and Beta came looking for him.
I was trying to avoid annoying that Alpha, but fate had a different way to punish me.
I asked the wolf who checked if she was sure.
Greta nodded. “The Beta and Alpha were reported to have gone to look for him. Do you want me to take a run out again?”
A hidden smirk was on her lips. She was looking for an excuse to run out again.
“You seem like you enjoy running there. I used to do so too. I told you it would be fun to clear your stubborn head,” I teased, meaning it a bit.
She smiled, looking down.
“Well, don’t worry. They shouldn’t see you, just stay in,” I added. She nodded and left.
I turned to Jean, who had fear and sadness in her brown eyes.
When she had caught her mate’s scent here, I assumed she’d be mad at me for catching him, but she was happy. She only felt sad when he began threatening that his in–law, who happened to be a Beta of Black Rose, would come for him.
“Young man, I don’t think I’ll be letting you go soon. Either you accept Jean, or you officially reject her and let her heal.”
Jean snapped her head at me, and I nodded. “Yes, rejection is an option, dear.”
The boy scoffed. “How about she denies Your Silver and works for Black Rose? Are you scared she will expose all the secrets and betray him?”
Jean pouted, fondling with the hem of her skirt. Was she housing that suggestion?
“If you accept her, she’d stay here and finish her mission. Unless, she wants to call it quits,” I replied to the boy, my eyes on Jean.
I hated these situations. Dara walked in, and I immediately walked out. She should handle it from there.
A sigh left my lips, and I tried to connect with Lana. “An Alpha and a Beta could be outside my cave. Greta might not be discreet enough.”
“Even if they enter the passageway, they need to find the right door here. Don’t worry. But I think we should let that boy go.”
“With Jean?” My forehead creased.
“Jean won’t leave. Avenging her parents means more to her than-”
The door opened, and I turned to it. It was Jean walking out with Dara. She had a resolved expression on. “Let him go! I don’t need
such a man.”
My heart sank. She was letting him go? “You know we can still keep him here.”
She rejected him, Dara declared. She did? She had such guts? Her eyes brimmed with tears.
“I did. He should leave with the feeling of being rejected. I don’t deserve it. I am an Alpha’s daughter,” she seethed.
I nodded. Her father was an Alpha of a small pack that was raided by Red Moon. She didn’t have a tint of his aura. If rejection was a way of getting that aura back, then it was a good thing. Just like what happened to me, facing a painful thing changed people,
“I feel I should double your training. You are having what it takes,” told her.
She blinked and looked up at me. “Was I getting promoted because rejected him?”
“You’ll need to get your mind off him. And you can channel that energy to Dara.” I looked at Dara. “Yes, you’ll be the one to train
her.”
Dara smirked and pulled the girl out with her
I returned to the room and saw the boy looking dejected. “She rejected you. You are no longer needed here. I will return you myself.”
