You Rejected A Silver Wolf

Chapter Sixty-Nine - Banter II

Rihanna's POV

Princess of Blue Bloom? What was she doing in my palace after sending a warrior to kill me? The kettle slipped from my hands as I rose to my feet.

Jaden stared at me like I had run mad. Perhaps I had this princess surely wanted to lose a limb by coming to my pack uninvited.

"Can I ask what happened..."

"Don't. I'll handle it," I interrupted Jaden, rushing out and closing the door firmly to ensure he didn't follow.

He shouldn't be there to stop me from breaking something. "Keep that pest there; I'm coming!" I ordered Beatrice.

"She's already making herself comfortable," Beatrice replied with a sigh.

I slowed my steps. Making herself comfortable? In my pack?

"She wants to see you and Jaden. She came from Black Rose after she heard he was here," Beatrice added.

Well, peace to her soul. If the Princess of Blue Bloom was on such friendly terms with Jaden, why did I feel more disgusted than jealous?

Throwing the door open, my eyes landed on a small blonde girl who jolted to her feet. Her lips twitched as her gaze met mine.noveldrama

She was pretty, with healthy-looking skin that showed she took care of herself, but it also meant she'd never been to war.

"And you're here for?" I asked. Her shoulders slumped as I walked closer, towering above her.

I rarely towered over anyone, but she was that small. What could she possibly want to say that made her risk her life by coming here?

"I came to see Alpha Jaden. I only have a few words for you," she replied boldly.

My mind wandered as I wondered why she was called a princess when her pack wasn't

a kingdom. She must have instilled some "princessyness" in herself.

"You'd meet Alpha Jaden at his pack. Here, he's my guest. The few words you have for me, spit them out I have even fewer for you," I huffed.

The corners of her eyebrows furrowed together in a cutely angry way. I smiled,

adjusting my weight onto one foot. "And you'd better hurry."

She glanced behind me, then exhaled. "I am not leaving till I speak with Alpha Jaden. Someone has to teach you manners, and only he can."

The ghost of a smile on my face faded. Beatrice stepped closer to her, raising her hands.

Teach me manners? How considerate of her.

"Hit her!" I ordered, and Beatrice's raised hands landed on her precious white face.

She staggered back, holding her cheek, stunned. "You slapped me?" Her face reddened, but I had no regrets.

Beatrice began scolding her, going full mom mode. "I'll do it again. You don't badmouth an Alpha in her own pack. You lack manners."

I nodded. "As well as the will to live. Princess, you have great skin, and I'd hate to scar

it. Leave now, if your words for me aren't worth my time."

"They are!" the princess barked. "You don't deserve this. My pack will never surrender to you. You're worse than your brother, Beta Ray."

"Wow. You've met him?" A smirk formed on my lips. And who said I wanted her pack to surrender to me? They were a group of clowns.

The girl nodded, looking down. "Beta Ray chased me out of Black Hills, insulted me, and threatened to tear off my limb."

My brother had surely embraced his crazy side, sprinkled with anger issues.

"Well, seeing as you're still whole, he didn't keep his promise. But I will, for him. You'd better leave," I warned, stepping toward her.

She took two steps back, looking between me and Beatrice, who seemed exhausted just breathing the same air as her.

"My words don't affect you, right?" the girl asked. "Because you aren't Rihanna. My brother said Beta Sam's daughter was long dead."

"If that's what he needs to believe to sleep at night, then so be it. My father is here with me-his living daughter," I snapped.

Her words were starting to piss me off. I gestured for Beatrice to drive her away, and she immediately attempted to.

"Wait." Jaden's voice called out as he walked out of the door. The princess escaped Beatrice's grip and ran into his arms. Like a scared lover?

I rolled my eyes. Funny enough, Jaden pushed her away, giving her an annoyed look.

"You can leave with her. I don't think our conversation is heading anywhere," I reminded him.

"Stop it, Rihanna," he said authoritatively, confusing me. The princess smiled, looking between us. What did I do?

"You shouldn't be bantering with a teenage princess when you know you're an Alpha," he added in a disappointed tone.

Banter? The "teenage princess" walked into my pack to piss me off, and I defended myself. Now it was labeled as banter?

"I'm not just a teenage princess, and she's the one with so many words to say, like her brother," the princess said with an eye roll.

I couldn't believe her-or Jaden. Maybe he was used to brats around him, but I wasn't.

"Are you following her, or can I throw her out?" Beatrice asked, hands on her hips.

Glad someone was on my side. One or both of them had to go.

"Princess, I'd meet you on your way to Black Rose. I need to finalize my discussion with Alpha Rihanna-it's urgent," Jaden told her.

She pouted with a sulky expression, looking ridiculous. I couldn't stand it and stormed back inside. Why treat her with such respect?

"Get out of my pack within a minute, bitch!" I yelled as I slammed the door.

Pouring myself a glass of tea to calm down, I whipped my head up and found my vision blurring.

I blinked furiously, cleaning my eyes with my palm. My vision remained unclear, but I saw what appeared to be an image of a horse.

I tried to walk toward it, but whenever it moved, I felt dizzy. Was this from getting too pissed at that princess? Was I hallucinating?

With Lana's help, I snapped out of that realm and saw things clearly again. But the faint image of a horse lingered before fading away.

"What the hell?" I gasped, placing the cup down. I heard footsteps behind me and turned to see Jaden.

"Did you see that?" I asked to be sure. He looked stunned and slowly nodded.

He did? Then I wasn't hallucinating. Something strange was happening.

"That was an image of a horse, but from another realm. You know, like Spirit Wolves," he mumbled.

I had heard of those before, but they were associated with Moon Goddess myths.

Normal werewolves couldn't create them.

"Do you have a new horse here?" Jaden asked.

I sure did, thanks to Red Moon. "Why?"

"Realms are triggered by either the presence of the Moon Goddess or sorcery. I think

it's the latter this time," he sighed.

Sorry? Red Moon gave it to me, so...
