Chapter Sixty–Eight – Dramatic
Rihanna’s POV
“Alpha, he’s here,” Dara told me as I dragged the horse back to its stable. The horse was really strong, draining so much strength
from me.
“Yeah, sure,” I replied, staring at the horse. It was a surprising gift from Red Moon to me, saying they accepted my pack.
I didn’t give a damn; they couldn’t do anything about it. It was suspicious how they were suddenly nice to me. The horse they sent must have been too much trouble for them, so they passed it on to me to suffer. And I was suffering, having bruises here and there.
I double–checked to ensure the horse wasn’t some kind of spy. Maybe Red Moon had figured out a sorcery that could turn a warrior into a horse. After a they had a history with witches.
“Alpha!” Dara called again, snapping me out of my ridiculous thoughts.
I sighed, leaving the stables. “Alpha Jaden must have rushed to give an apology. Honestly, I needed it.” I rubbed my temples.
Dara smiled. “Act dramatic so he’d feel guilty.”
Really? Damsel in distress wasn’t my usual trope, and I wasn’t about to start with my mate. Though it’d be entertaining.
“Alpha Jaden!” I called sternly, folding my arms. I felt a slight pain as my arms brushed against a big bruise I had gotten while dealing with the horse.
I noticed Jaden leave his seat. “Is that from… my… you got that when you visited me?” His eyes were on the bruise.
Watching him, he looked quite cute with the remorseful face he had on. I thought of clearing it up that I wasn’t badly hurt, but Dara’s words came to mind. “Act dramatic so he’d feel guilty.”
“I experienced worse with your warriors,” I scoffed, pushing him away and heading towards the seat. “Did they want to kill me?”
I heard him sigh and murmur some words. I hoped the warrior who did this was still alive.
“All I wanted to do was visit Black Rose for the first time without using the back route. But what did I meet? Harpoons and a crazy man!” I yelled.
Jaden turned to me, hands on his hips. “That’s my Beta’s brother, actually. Not sure what he feeds on, but he’s surely a lunatic, he grumbled.
I had a hidden smirk on my face. That was the first time I heard him openly insulting someone, He must have disliked the guy before this.
“Well, both he and Ralph have tendencies to piss someone off!” I clicked my tongue, pouring a glass of tea for myself.
Jaden scanned my body for more injuries, then exhaled. “You took medications, right?”
“Do I look like I needed them? I let them heal,” I bragged.
He went back and nodded. We were silent for a while.
“So, why haven’t you been visiting?” I broke the silence.

“Can’t you visit me if I don’t.” he trailed off when he realized:
“Exactly. I can’t because harpoons may welcome me,” I shrugged.
He shook his head and rephrased his words. “I couldn’t visit because of something Chris said.”
“About my mate being Alpha King?” I asked knowingly. He must have caught on already if that was why he stayed away.
He snapped his head to me, stunned, and nodded. “You knew? Well, why didn’t you say?”
“I knew after you stopped visiting, but I didn’t tell because I didn’t want you chickening out,” I deadpanned.
Sometimes I spoke without thinking, but I rarely regretted it. Who’d lare chicken out of being my mate? I faced him.
He had a done look and asked, “Really?”
