You Rejected A Silver Wolf

Chapter Hundred and Fifty-Four - I'd Rest.

Chris's POV

Maybe I could have resisted staying a day in Red Moon, but I didn't. Not when my mom offered me homemade meals.

Sasha's cooking was good, but I'd always tasted better.

And my father might not have wanted anything to do with my mother, but she was still my mother. Not that I wanted him to know I visited her anyway.

My uncle returned to me with the findings I had asked for. I stretched myself out on the couch so he'd have nowhere to sit. I only needed him to report and leave, not strike up a conversation.

"So? Any solution for Jaden's injury? I have to leave now," I said.

The fact that I was comfortably stretched on a couch while claiming I wanted to leave was ironic. He raised his brows humorously and sighed.

"It specifically doesn't have a cure. If it comes in contact with blood, only a Lycan's energy can dispel it," he said.

A Lycan's energy? Maybe that was why it didn't work on them.

"So Jaden dies?" I frowned. "Why make a charm with no cure? And now it'll kill an Alpha."

This would make the kingdom detest Red Moon and its sorcery users again. I was disappointed.noveldrama

"But Jaden doesn't have to die. He should get a Lycan's energy. Maybe imprison Logan and suck his," my uncle quickly suggested.

I knew he was deeply rooted with sorcerers, so he wanted their best interests protected. And his idea wasn't exciting because catching Logan was a task. No one wanted to leave Logan alive if they had the chance to kill him.

Keeping him to take his energy for Jaden would require great planning to execute.

"You think it's as easy as saying it!" I raised my voice. "In that despicable market, anything that doesn't have a cure shouldn't be sold there."

"And the strength of a Lycan would be inside Jaden, as well as the energy. What if his body can't take it?" I asked.

My uncle hummed before replying. "It was just my humble suggestion. I know nothing about the aftermath."

Then it was too risky to think of trying, though it'd be cool if Jaden had the strength of a Lycan. He'd be the Alpha King soon anyway.

My wolf came to the surface, and I knew I'd said something that deserved scolding. I looked up at my uncle and responded lowly.

"I may not be Red Moon's Alpha King, but don't forsake my words. No charm without

a cure should be sold in that market. Understood?"

He nodded, then forced a smile. "We hope the kingdom forgives us and that we get back under your rulership someday."

That day might never come, as my father would resent me. But if I wasn't the Alpha King and Jaden wanted to accept them, he could.

My wolf scoffed. What did I say?

"Very well then. I'll take my leave now." I rolled off the couch. "Take care of my mother." I briskly walked past him.

He didn't give me a reply, and I honestly didn't need one. I knew my wolf was on the brink of scolding me for something.

"So, you aren't worried about not being the Alpha King?" he asked.

I replied simply, "Yes."

"Imagine that! Don't you want to fight for it?"

Was this wolf bipolar? Last I remembered, he wanted me to accept our fate. "Just shut up!"

I had gone through a lot trying to accept my fate myself. I didn't need anyone trying

to talk me out of my own decision, not even my wolf.

"Fine. If you want to back out, let it be because it's a prophecy and not because you're a coward," my wolf continued.

Coward? What was I scared of? Being Alpha King? Partially, yes, but I had been already for three years. They weren't my best three years, but it was fine. If it was Jaden's destiny now, I'd simply pass it.

"I want to live long enough to see my son grow and have kids," I told him.

I was already drained within three years. How could I keep up forever?

"And maybe, without having the pressure of the kingdom on my neck, I could rest and prevent myself from making more mistakes."

Not to mention that with less power came fewer responsibilities. And hopefully, I'd help my son make his own decisions and face the consequences of bad ones as well. In all, I'd be at peace.

My wolf had few words to say after that.

I increased my walking pace and soon advanced to short jogs before I began running. I made sure no letter whatsoever was sent back to Black Hills so they had no clue where I was.

My father wouldn't worry, and Sasha shouldn't. Vanessa wasn't in Black Hills, so there was no one I owed my presence to at the pack all the time. After all, all the lands were my kingdom for the time being. I should walk around while I could.

Within twelve minutes, I was at Black Hills' border. I spotted the lead warrior, Cara, yelling at her warriors. Something had happened.

I used steady, cautious steps to advance toward her and hear what was being said.

"...and it's the last time! The last time you try to act on your own orders and get anyone hurt, understood?!" she barked.

Just a heads up: is the only place to read the complete version of this book for free. Don't miss out on the next chapter-visit us now and continue your journey! He got a warrior hurt?

I glared at the warrior in question. He was a newbie-an arrogant-looking newbie. But what had Cara sent the warriors for? Since it seemed outside the pack, then it had to be something serious.

"Either way, find anything?" Cara asked.

"Nothing. We didn't find the man or our Alpha," the warrior replied, still looking down. Their Alpha? Me? "Why would you be looking for me?" I asked both of them through the mind link.

They snapped their heads in my direction.

Cara exhaled and gestured for the warrior to leave, which he hurriedly did. "Alpha, Ray went with some warriors to look for you."

What was happening? "Why? Was I a child?"

Cara replied, "Well, normally, we wouldn't, but he got worried. Someone had been declared missing, and there's still no report on him."

Yes, the warrior had said they didn't see a man or me. "Who went missing?"

"Beta Ralph of Black Rose. Alpha Jaden worriedly sent a report to you about it," Cara explained.

My eyes widened. "They sent a report?"

Cara pouted a little, nodding. "And since they rarely do, Ray wanted to know what the problem was, so he opened it."

"And Jaden was asking for help to find his Beta?" I found it unbelievable.

Cara nodded. "He did."

Oh, Moon Goddess, then he was really desperate. Where had the Beta gone?
