“My Delta is out scouting; you yet her at the border. My Beta Isn’t here at the moment. When she arrives, I’ll tell you to pay a visit.”
My wolf howled in laughter as Rihanna added the last part. How could a king visit his subject?
Chris still had the smile on his face, though it was contorting into a psycho grin, “You should also watch your mouth. I am a King
Rihanna rolled her eyes and sat down. “Well, King, my response remains. You will not ‘bless‘ my land for the moon goddess.”
“It’s not like you reverence the moon goddess. You rejected her gift you,” Dara murmured to herself.
We all turned to her, hearing her. Had she forgotten she was supposed to shut up, or did she forget she was in a room filled with Alphas with good eats?
“Are we still milking that?” Chris grinned. “I didn’t know you told your warriors how pained you were by the rejection.” He faced Rihanna.
She glared at him. “I did tell them of your foolishness but with gratefulness that you were foolish,” she spat back. “And Dara, get
out!”
Dara looked down. “Yes, Alpha. I’m sorry.” She walked away.
Chris had a pleased smile, seeing the lead warrior leave. He turned to me. “You’ve been quiet. I wonder why you even came here.”
I hoped he’d never ask, but since he did, I had the answer. “I heard you visited, and I knew she’d be haughty, so I came to caution her.”
Rihanna scoffed. “You should have come for him; he’s the one coming to places that don’t need him.”
Chris sighed, looking away from me. “Your land is my land…”
“It isn’t!” She slammed the table again, getting up. I could see Chris losing his patience. Rihanna had already lost hers.
“Alpha Jaden, you said you were to caution her. Do caution her,” he said in a low tone.
Slowly, I held Rihanna by the waist, startling her and seemingly Chris as well, then dropped her back in the chair. “Yes, Alpha King.”
Chris shifted uncomfortably in his chair, staring at me. Rihanna said nothing and kept her eyes fixated on Chris.
“And if I dared contribute, I’d suggest letting her pick an already existing Alpha of her choice to bless her land, if she still wants to.”
Chris frowned. “Why? Who blessed yours…”
He trailed off when he realized that his father or grandfather hadn’t blessed my land.
“My grandfather had a friend then who was an Alpha. He helped bless our land more than two hundred years ago,” I replied in a low
tone.
Rihanna snapped her head to me. “Two hundred? Your pack has existed before Black Hills. Why ever did yo.. guys submit to them?”
Thushed her. “It’s an honor to be under a King who stopped the killing of silver wolves. My grandma then was highly impressed
with him.”

“Wait, your mother isn’t the only female Alpha in history?” she aske again, stunned.
I nodded proudly. “Actually, I ann the fourth male Alpha in our history. We had more female Alphas, but no one cared if it was female or male.”
Chris huffed, getting up. “You seemed so qualified to bless her land. Then bless it.”
“Me? I never insinuated blessing it. I wouldn’t know if she wanted to.” I said, innocently.
“I want you to. Do it in my stead,” Chris replied and walked away.
Rihanna began chuckling, rising from her seat too. “I saw what you did there, and I would want you to bless it if it’s such a big deal.”
I wasn’t sure what I did. If it was intimidating Chris–and making him feel I w
as better, that was an accident that could cost me a lot,
But if it made my mate feel better, I would do it again any day.
