Chapter Eighty – Another Wolf.
Rihanna’s POV
We were at the border of my pack. A slave, who was trying to deploy to my pack, was found, gullet and limbs out, it was disgusting.
The claws marks on him belonged to the Lycan and he was pinned to the trees. That Lycan dared to hurt a werewolf. He was truly mad.
Dara jumped down from the rock. “No sign of Lycan or Black Hills warriors. I believe we aren’t waiting for the latter, are we?”
I smiled at her pouty face. “Having an extra hand isn’t too bad but I doubt Chris will let his warriors stop by here.”
Dara smiled broadly. “Good, I don’t even want to see them. Apart from your brother, all of them could go to hell.” She jumped on the rock again.
Camilla glanced at her momentarily before looking down again, she shifted her chess piece. Beatrice did the same.
I exhaled, then inhaled the clear fresh air around the place. “Do you guys sometimes miss when we were free?”
I closed my eyes savoring the moment. “When you could sneak in anywhere, hide in shadows, be reckless. I feel having a pack limits that.”
Beatrice smiled, moving another chess piece. She seemed to have gotten Camilla’s piece as Camilla frowned.
“Well, I still move around whenever I like so, it’s not anything to me.” Dara shrugged.
“You do? Lead Warrior position is that fun? Camilla tsked. “I don’t move around and I do miss it.”
I smiled painfully. Living freely and being a rogue was more of a dream than being Alpha. But it wasn’t peaceful.
Not having to hide my face when making threats because Your Silver should be a man. “And now I think of it, the name Your Silver is lowly dying.”
Beatrice glanced at me and then at Dara. “Is that a bad thing? I mean, I was Red Moon huntress but now Silver Pack Beta. That’s change.”
“Yeah, only that it took you three years, you increased rank and all to achieve that. But my name changed in few days.” I sulked.
Beatrice laughed. “Well then it wasn’t change but we still call you Your Silver. Manage that.”
Camilla suddenly howled. “Ha! I won!” she jumped from her seat and began dancing.
Beatrice had a done face while gazing at the chess board, she rolled her eyes afterwards.
“Yayy! We both won you Beatrice. You owe us new boots! Expensive boots!” Dara cheered, swirling a horsetail in the air.
I stared at it for a while, that was different from the one I saw with her during the early days of Silver Pack. Was she hoarding horse tails now?
“What do you use horse tail for exactly?” I cut her short. She pulled her hands down and hid it behind her. “I don’t know, it’s cool.”
She had the 'don’t judge me face’.
I looked away. The one person I knew who liked horsetails was Sasha and because of that, I hated horsetails. But if Dara liked it, it was cool.
I picked up paw steps from far off. Whoever was running in full force. Perhaps from something.
My ears perked as I stood up. “North, half a mile off. Someone is in danger and is running towards us!” I alarmed the girls, leaving my seat.
Beatrice started to run there and Camilla followed. Dara tried to join them but I held her back. “Stay here, watch the chess board.”
She threw her hands in the air as I ran with the rest. “Really!” I ignored her and caught up with Camilla and Beatrice.
The paw steps stopped and I feared the worst had happened. We got there few seconds later.
A wolf was ahead, lying motionless. I stooped to it and found it’s gullet was taken off. The blood was still warm, it just happened.
“Argghh!” I growled. “Logan, show yourself instead of hurting these poor people. You want to challenge? Show yourself!”
Beatrice looked away, her eyes being cloudy. She was sensitive as the wolf was young, it must remind her of her son.
“Alpha, the claws marks on this one. It’s different from the one on the slave earlier.” Camilla said.
I turned to her, my hands on waist. “What does it look like?”
“A normal wolf’s. This wolf had scratched thrice to take the gullet out. A Lycan will do it in one swoop.” She pointed out.
I noticed the pattern. And it seemed this victim had tried to fight back. He wouldn’t dare if it was a Lycan.
So was there another deranged wolf killing wolfs?
“If that’s so, then I can find him.” Beatrice offered. I nodded. That wolf wouldn’t be escaping.
“Camilla, return with the body. Stay with Dara. We will be back!” I ordered. I didn’t wait for her reply and sped off, Beatrice followed.
My eyes changed to red orange as I looked around for any energy around us. A panting wolf came to my ears. They were two.
I cornered towards them, pointing towards the Boots and Rivers Market so Beatrice will know where to go.
“They are rogues!” I barked as I sighted two rough looking wolfs, dancing around.
Beatrice barked at them, I saw she had shifted. Before they could run off, she pounced on the closest one, trying to choke him.
He must have been the killer as he had blood on him. The other wolf looked in horror, not attempting to run off.
It whimpered as it’s partner fought Beatrice. I took steady steps towards it. It’s eyes met mine and it ran back, and slowly shifted.
My lips rose to a smirk seeing it was a female and I knew her. The daughter of a rogue wolf that almost killed me while I was Your Silver.
I had sworn to him to end him when I was stronger but he was killed by Black Rose before I could fulfill my promise.
The wolf that killed him was the Black Rose Alpha which I thought was Jake Justin. The man’s wife, had then moved to a different forest.
“So you are back, Mi Vida.” I taunted. “I missed you. And I’m very touched the first thing you did on arriving, is bothering me.”
I spread my legs apart, my claws shot out. “I assume you want my attention, you have it.”
She was glancing at the direction Beatrice and her partner ran to. “That’s my mate. Don’t you dare kill him!”
That didn’t faze me, a mate was always dispensable. If she was worth it, she’d get another, if she survived.
“That’s nice. My Beta is about to leave you mateless and I’m about to leave you… dead.” I cocked my head.
She snarled, charging at me. Her energy went to her eyes and they glowed. She was drawing strength to fight for her mate? How cute.
With her eyes color, I was aware she had broken Delta rank. Sadly, I was still in higher Beta rank so she should be a challenge.
