The whiff of cinnamon and hory grow stronger, filling the air. The uards outside began screaming, drawing everyone’s attention.
“Alpha! Alpha! Princess Vanessa–1” A knife flew into the chest of the guard who had run in. All the Alphas shot to their feet, alert.
“Vanessa?” Chris left his throne.
This was becoming troublesome. Could Your Silver really handle what she was about to unleash?
Soft footsteps echoed–a woman’s heels. My wolf grew agitated, muttering mate. A knife flew toward Chris, but he caught it with
ease.
The Red Moon Alpha frowned and assumed a defensive stance. “It’s rogue. I smell a rogue.”
But I smelled my ma. Why was a scout taking the lead in this confrontation? Shouldn’t Your Silver be leading?
“Hello, Alpha King!” a feminine voice called from behind the door as she flipped her long black hair. My wolf howled inside. Mate! Mate!
As she entered, a wave of weakness swept through the room. The Blue Bloom Alpha dropped to one knee.
“Silver!”
That’s when we saw it–her hair glistened with particles of silver. Each flip of her hair released them, infecting the air and choking everyone who breathed it in.
She stood tall for a ‘teenager‘ with striking dark eyes and an enviable figure. She was a grown woman. What had Jake meant by a little girl‘?
The silver on her head didn’t seem to bother her. And my wolf called her mate?
“Your Silver! You’re Your Silver!” Jake cheered, then lowered his gaze when everyone turned to him.
“With a petition!” she raised her hand, and several girls in uniforms rushed in, their noses covered by masks. Each carried buckets filled with silver.
Another wave of weakness swept over us.
I summoned the strength to sit without collapsing to my knees. My mate turned out to be Your Silver? What was happening?
“I can’t believe this,” Chris finally broke his silence after minutes of staring at Your Silver, as if recognizing her.
All the Alphas and Betas knelt, their gazes fixed on Chris. He was still standing strong, though his face showed hurt.
“I can’t believe this,” he repeated.
“What can’t you believe? That your nemesis is your rejected mate, or that your Alphas will bow to my will today?” Your Silver smirked.
Rejected mate? The whispers began. Jake turned to me and Ralph. A rejected mate? Rihanna had been the only rejected mate….
“Rihanna! You lived!” Chris threw down the knife he had held. It landed near her feet as he laughed hysterically.

“I accepted your rejection, faked my death, and built a pack. Sasha couldn’t. Don’t get me wrong–I’m not jealous.” She shrugged.
The Blue Fire Alpha reached for a gun. On impulse, I kicked it from His hand. He glared at me, confused.
“That’s my mate you want to harm, peasant!” my wolf growled.
I ignored the Alpha and tried to focus on the unfolding drama, deliberately avoiding the fact that Your Silver ignored our mate bond.
“You and Ray tricked me,” Chris groaned, visibly

Chris looked at me, then back at the treaty.
“No!”
