Chapter Fifty–Eight Thinking
I’d say I was more scared of leaving my mate alone in this world than dying because I was her mate. Rihanna didn’t need to face another pain of losing a mate, especially if it would be caused by Chris again.
A month ago, I visited Rihanna while she talked to Chris. I couldn’t help but feel rage towards him, seeing how he taunted my mate. When he left, I overheard him tell a warrior to alert him on whoever became Rihanna’s mate. I had become alert myself. What did he need such information for? Was he still interested in her?
Then I overheard again that he’d need the man dead but would like to meet him first. He then ranted on about a prophecy he didn’t want to happen. Dara was big on prophecies, so I wrote a letter to her and realized Rihanna was a key to a big prophecy, along with her mate.
The moon goddess was really pushing buttons. A few years ago, I was the caged, enclosed son of the Alpha. Now I struggled to get an Alpha position; I was being haunted by an Alpha King because I found my mate. She was very considerate, wasn’t she?
“Jaden!” A voice called, jolting me. I sighed, seeing my tea spill on me as I shook. I looked up but looked down again. That kid was annoying.
“I know you space out a lot, but this last one was for almost ten minutes,” Jake smiled, sitting beside my bed. “I was watching you.”
1 tilted my head. Ten minutes? I couldn’t even remember all I’d thought of.
“Something, other than pack and your normal fantasies, is bothering you. Tell me, what?” he inquired.
I frowned at the “normal fantasies” part, but he wasn’t lying. I grunted, stretching a bit on the bed. “Jake, I’m alright, don’t worry.”
He said nothing, then I heard the bed sink inside. I grunted again. “No, no, get down.” But when I turned, he was
already inside the covers.
That kid! I pulled the covers, but he clung to them. “What is it?!”
“Tell me what’s bothering you. Also, your bed has always been softer than mine. You have no one to share it with,
so…”
He dragged the cover again and wrapped himself in it. I let him, resting my head on the bed rest. “I just think till I
overthink; it’s nothing.”
His head popped up from the covers; he had a sad, mixed with an angry face. “Can you not tell me? Just tell me what’s wrong?”
It sounded like he was commanding me to. I was compelled. He was one person who was forcing me to share my problems, and I needed ideas.

“Okay, fine. I found my mate. But you’d rather die than tell anyone,” I replied, tilting my head back to rest on the bed rest, I closed my eyes.
“Really? Oh my goodness. We would be having a Luna?” I heard him yelp.
I smiled, opening my eyes, but then his face, grinning, was the first thing I saw. I would have jumped, but I didn’t want my lips to crash to his; that would have been weird.
Seeing he was standing on my bed, I kicked him down, and he let himself fall. He jumped right up, like a playful dog. “So who’s she? Do I know her?” he grinned, making small hops on my bed.
I sighed. I wasn’t ready to disclose that part yet.
“You mustn’t know that; she can’t be Luna yet,” his face saddened as I said that.
“In other words, you can’t be with her as well. That’s enough to think for ten minutes,” he nodded at his own
words.
“Also, someone isn’t happy with whoever her mate will be, and will kill him apparently,” I continued.
Jake raised a brow. “That’s you? The person will try to kill you?”
I nodded, with a small pout.
He smirked. “I dare them.” The way he said that just gave a whole younger brother vibe and support; I was glad I had him. But it was the Alpha King we were talking about here, and no matter what, there was a reason he was the Alpha King. It was more than inheritance, like Jake used to say.
Chris had the aura of a King, and by prophecy, he’d have been the mate of the great silver wolf if not that he rejected her. I doubt much changed after that.
“Okay then, but does the girl know you will be killed if you guys are together? She needs to know,” Jake told me.
doesn’t care… much,” I replied. He glared at me. “And I don’t want to bother her about it; she has a pack to It slipped my tongue.
My eyes widened, likewise Jake’s. We slowly turned to each other with a dropped jaw. There was only one girl who ran a pack around here.
“No way!” Jake squealed.
“No way!” I face palmed. “You mustn’t tell anyone, Jake. Like for real, shut your mouth.”
He pinned his mouth together and smiled. “No one will know. Unless they have high hearing like you, but I doubt anyone does.”
I exhaled. Things weren’t quite going as I wanted.
“Does Rih know? Like does she know you too are…” he gestured the remaining words.

Chapter 77
1 rolled my eyes but nodded. “Yeah, but it doesn’t matter. Something big can easily destroy that, and that’s what I’m actually thinking about.”
Jake’s facial expressions changed. “What could destroy it? For years, you’ve been fantasizing about your mate; you get her, hot, strong, can withstand you, and something wants to destroy it?”
He sounded so pissed, but what’s with him going on and on about me fantasizing? He didn’t live in my head, did he?
“It’s not that easy. Also, I can’t just have her; she’s an Alpha. What happens to her pack?”
“We merge!” Jake announced proudly.
Someone should get him away from me.
“Silver Pack and Black Rose Pack merge. Silver Rose Pack! Whoo! It’d be amazing! A new legacy is formed,” he kept on shouting.
I doubt that was our future. Something similar, but it wouldn’t end that way. I wasn’t sure if I should go further and tell him about the prophecy and Chris wanting to kill me because I was sure he’d go overboard with it.
He did tell me that he argued with Chris those few hours he stayed at Black Hills to search for the Luna. He and Chris were very incompatible.
“Aren’t you thinking of that?” he finally calmed down and asked. “Oh, and who’s the scum that will stop you from being with Rih?”
Scum? Well, I dare not speak.
“Wait, someone who won’t be happy with whoever her mate will be, and will kill him?” he remembered what I
said.
He turned to me. “Red Moon? Chris? Those are the only options. And why’d Red Moon care? It’s Chris, right? That’s why you’d be scared.”
Scared? Was I scared? Hmm, maybe. Perhaps less for Chris but more of losing her. It was stupid that I was scared of losing her when she wasn’t yet mine, but the fear, it was so prevalent that it made me think. Nonstop.
