Chapter Fifty–Five – Haughty Ranna
Jaden’s POV
When I arrived, I saw the carriage of the King outside the mansion where Rihanna and I had tea. Had she taken him into her sitting
room?
My wolf let me take control, and I tidied myself before strolling in.
“Alpha Jaden!” It was Dara. #smiled at her and walked toward her.
She walked faster and grabbed my hand, moving me away from the room.
“Chris is in there. He asking for traditional olive oil and wolf bone to bless our land. Is it something he should do, or my Alpha?” she asked.
My mind went back to my mother’s tales of new lands and packs and how they needed an Alpha to bless the land–an already existing Alpha.
“It doesn’t have to be Chris, but as her Alpha King, he could if he wanted to. Any already existing Alpha can do it,” I replied.
“As I thought, Chris won’t be doing it!” she huffed. Then she smiled and turned to me. “I forgot. Thank you for saving my Alpha fast
time.”
I shrugged. “It was nothing; she owes me one.”
The girl nodded. “Yeah, I’m glad she finally has a friend.”
Oh, please. I wanted to be more than that, but I kept my thoughts to myself. Dara stormed back into the room while I followed.
“Alpha Jaden,” Chris called. It sounded more like a question. If he was about to ask me what I was doing there, I didn’t know.
“Hello, Alpha King. You came to our part of the forest,” I smirked, taking a seat beside Rihanna, who had a blank face on.
Chris paused, looking at the both of us, trying to read it. “Our forest? Red Moon stayed around this forest too, you know.”
“But I doubt you came to see Red Moon. They are your loyal dogs you can summon with the snap of a hand,” Rihanna retorted with a scowl.
Chris had a laid–back smile and seemed pretty relaxed about the situation. Rihanna looked rather pissed. He still had an effect on her.
I sat up and stayed farther from her so it wouldn’t be misunderstood. “So you came here to bless her land? A warrior told me,”
He turned to me. “Yes, I did. As her Alpha King, I should at least inaugurate my pack…”
“It’s my pack!” she slapped the table. “And I don’t need you inaugurating it! I’ll ask an ally to do it or damn it totally!”
She pointed at him. “You better get your butt out of my land, Chris, or I’ll really show you…”
I pulled her down, making her shut up. Why was she so pissed all the time? Chris looked amused, and it was beginning to piss me off too.

“For real, you aren’t Rihanna, Chris smirked. “You’re lucky you submitted yourself to me, or you’d have wasted your silver wolf.”
Rihanna’s fist clenched under her, and mine did as well. She submitted to him? From what I remembered, she bullied him to accept the treaty.
How could he mock her for changing when he caused her to change He was the pain that made her change, and here he was bragging.
“Should I kill him?” I heard Dara say behind us. She was glaring at Chris, and her claws were already out.
Chris’s smirk fell when he heard her. He turned. “Excuse me? What did you say?”
“I wasn’t speaking to you,” Dara replied, not even sparing him a glance.
He rose from his chair, and Rihanna did the same. I controlled my welf to stay in place. I’d known Chris to be a calm guy; he wouldn’t overreact.
“Didn’t you hear your paid…?”
“Lead warrior,” Dara corrected. “Do I look like a maid to you?”
Rihanna smirked, walking in front of him. “You better watch your mouth, Dara. He’s a King.” She stared at Chris with a mocking expression.
Dara huffed and stayed calm.
Chris smiled and sat back down. “You don’t teach your officials politeness. And you are yet to introduce your Beta and Delta to me.”
