He said nothing. Indeed, Jean wes right. He would feel like trash. If knew better, he should channel it to be a better version of himself.
I had mind–linked Camilla, and a carriage was in place for me to return the lad. In twelve minutes, I was already at Rose Valley.
It could be pride, but I really liked daring those warriors. It was the only fun f could get around.
“What are you doing in our lands?” one of them shouted. Didn’t they know I came to drop their warrior? Or were they unaware he was missing?
“I come in peace,” I feigned innocence. “Your Silver saw a Black Rose warrior by Boots and Rivers Market. I’m here to bring him back.”
They backed away, looking intently at my carriage. The boy was unconscious, so he couldn’t deflect my claims.
I felt the energy of the Beta coming toward the warriors. I was glad he wasn’t with the Alpha. I could talk or take down the Beta.
“You said you saw him by the Boots and Rivers Market?” he asked. He must have good hearing.
“Yes,” I carried the boy from the carriage. “He had been delivered to Your Silver by a wolf who assumed he was an enemy to Black Rose.”
“So he returned to the boy to prove he isn’t?” The Beta chuckled.
Why? Wasn’t that feasible?
“Well, to us, Your Silver is still an unruly rogue. And he brought a silver wolf to us again. We appreciate the gesture.”
“I am his highest warrior. You better not be thinking of catching me. To be honest, do think of it.” I dropped the boy down like a
sack.
The Beta frowned, and his warriors rushed to the lad. “You won’t leave here today…”
“You either kill me or die. Those are the only options,” I warned, my eyes changing to orange. “And I promise I am not dying now.”
There was hesitation from him when I said the last part, or was it my change in eye color? It changed back to normal.
If he knew I was a Beta, would he be able to know what pack I was from? Nonsense. Any rogue could attain Beta rank without being from a pack.
They had to be either born into it or trained by an Alpha. Would that give me away too? Who had trained me?
“You are a Beta,” he said accusingly.
“I have been for long. I doubt you can stand me,” I added. Should I have said that too?
“Your Silver is an Alpha wolf then. Or he attained that rank somehow. He is even scarier than we thought
e Beta said, backing
away.
What? Your Silver was now scary for being an Alpha? I knew scarier Alphas who didn’t care about others.
Because he’s a rogue, he’s scary and all that? You Black Rose are like the others. Intoxicated with
power
that
you don’t reason.”
