“Thank you. Spread them out. And make sure they find what we are looking for,” I said authoritatively, hoping to overwork them.
They said Black Rose warriors were really tough. Even after building for Your Silver, they could still transport themselves here within a day.
Let me exploit them to my desire, then.
“Yes, Alpha.” My Delta bowed, understanding what I implied.
I watched the warrior march out with Jake and my Delta to search for the Luna. It was a futile effort as my warriors had already done that.
A smirk was on my face as I strolled back to my chambers, knowing self–absorbed young man would be searching for nothing in my dark hills.
“Chris!” someone barked as my chamber’s door closed. It was my father, and I quickly opened it. He’d sped in front and was raging.
“What happened? Did something happen to Mother? Vanessa?” He was usually that mad when something happened to them.
Like he had been when he found out Your Silver’s true identity and that she had hurt his daughter and embarrassed his son.
“That girl Rihanna–she’s in the second part of the prophecy!” he raged, barging into my room.
I nodded. “I figured already. Beta Sam and his wife informed me before leaving.”
He snapped his head at me. “Why did you let them go if they knew that much? I didn’t even want to permit them!”
“What? You permitted them.”
“I did, but you shouldn’t have,” he grunted. “I expected you to say it’s not safe or something. Now, Rihanna will know and feel more powerful.”
I was transfixed. He wanted me to not let them go? Why didn’t he give a clue or send a guard to tell me? How was I to know those things?
Well, Your Silver not knowing the truth of the prophecy wouldn’t stop it from happening. I only had to make sure it didn’t happen accurately.
“And Vanessa told me Sasha was with child?” my father reduced his tone to ask.
I met his gaze, and it had softened. I confirmed, “According to Vanessa, she was. She didn’t tell me before her leave.”
“Or disappearance. Your Silver might not have anything to do with it Someone else could have been involved,” my father suggested.
That never crossed my mind. Who’d take my Luna after being annoyed with me? No one else came to mind–unless it was an enemy
of Sasha’s.
“Either way, for it to be on the day Your Silver came, then it meant the person infiltrated our kingdom through Your Silver,” he
added.
Your Silver might not have known, but someone from my pack would know.
“You have the right to request her warriors be investigated or ask your Delta to go. Of course, tell him to be nice so he’d be back

complete.
Hearing my dad worry about Your Silver being nice to my Delta reminded me of Jake’s question: if I could stop her?
“Father, Your Silver wouldn’t dare hurt my Delta,” I seethed.
He looked at me. “Because they grew up together? You know they weren’t close.”
“Because he’s a royal Delta, Father,” I explained. “And he who hurt a royal Delta disrespects the King. No one should disrespect the King.”
He understood where I was coming from and nodded. “Then maybe you should be the one to visit her.”
Was he joking? There wasn’t a smile on his face. He wasn’t joking. Why would I go there?”
“At the creation of a new pack, the Alpha King blesses it to the Moon Goddess–it’s tradition. Remind her that you are her King by coming.”
I smirked at those words. Yeah, I had to remind her by tomorrow.
She had to know that the treaty she forced me to sign made me her Alpha King.
