– Very Impressive
Jaden’s POV
I felt my mate; she was surely the one. Perhaps the scout had come check on the guests and ran back, but even though she was far away, I sensed her with my Alpha abilities. Yet, she hadn’t sensed me. I felt almost broken that she didn’t.
Jake knocked on my door. I didn’t even know how to tell him why I’d been throwing a tantrum recently. But what news did he have? I was aware that Beta Gaius was dead. I was stunned that Your Silver could defeat a Beta while injured. It raised more questions for Jonah, but with my current temperament, I didn’t want to engage him and risk overreacting.
Jake knocked again and opened the door before I could respond. “Are you okay?” he asked the dreaded question.
“Yeah, I’m good,” I led, getting off my bed. Sweat fell from my forehead to my thighs like water droplets.
“Ralph told me how you acted when Dan met you. He’s still a kid; he acted that way toward the girl without thinking,” Jake explained.
I got a flashback to when I’d yelled at the eighteen–year–old for his actions toward his mate. I was only sensitive because he had a mate and still dared to treat her badly, while mine seemed to be playing painful mind games with me.
“I’m sorry; I’ll tell him that,” I said to Jake.

He came closer, closing the door behind him. “Yeah, but why were you harsh with the guards as well? Something’s up, right?”
I sighed.
“I can read you, you know? Is it Your Silver? Are you wondering how to defend him in front of Chris? Chris seems really pissed.”
I nodded. “Yeah, Your Silver’s case does worry me, but I’ll only do my best for him. Killing a Beta is too much.”
As I tried to leave the bed, my door was slammed open. Jonah rushed in, holding a scroll. He looked up and froze.
“Sorry, you’re awake,” he mumbled.
I shook my head, brushing off the intrusion and gesturing for him to report.
“Chris just sent this. All Alphas and Betas are to meet him before the date. He got intel that Your Silver was planning to make an appearance,” Jonah said.
His lips shook, and he blinked many times as if he were scared of the words coming from his mouth. The news stunned me, nothing
more.
“Your Silver must be crazy to show his ugly face in front of the Alphas! Does he want to die?” Jake screamed.
The fact that Chris already knew about Your Silver’s visit meant he wanted him to know. It also meant he was planning something big during the meeting. Was he planning to kill everyone, since he had already started with Red Moon’s Beta? Was he that crazy? And wasn’t he injured? I stared at Jonah.
Jonah was frowning as he put the scroll away. “Someone needs to warn this girl. Your Silver can’t appear now,” he murmured. I heard him.
What girl? The female silver wolf? He wanted her to warn Your Silver? That meant he was closely connected to her, enough to care
about her safety.
Jonah, I called before he could turn away.
“Yes? He looked up.
I asked, “Tell me, can you meet Your Silver or the female wolf informally? It’d be nice to communicate with either of them now.”
He hesitated. “I can’t, Alpha.” He shook his head. “I’ll leave to prope your horses for the journey.” He made an attempt to leave,
He froze when a growl left my lips. Jake stepped back.
“What is it now?”
“Jonah, do you know something that I don’t know about Your Silver 1 barked.
Jake turned to him, then at me. “Jonah, do you know something?”
Jonah, swerved around to meet my gaze. He blinked and sighed multiple times before looking down.
“I swear, the only reason I didn’t say was that I didn’t want you to use me to hurt her,” he spoke.
My eyes narrowed. Which “her” was he talking about now? The silver wolf? Jake folded his arms and advanced toward him.
“You’re keeping secrets from your Alpha to protect a girl? That silver wolf? What about her?” Jake asked sternly.
“She is Your Silver. The one and only,” he replied:
I tilted my head, and Jake stared at me.
“Are you serious?” My voice was low.
He nodded.
“You’re lying. She’s…” Jake trailed off. “She is Your Silver?”
I bet he couldn’t wrap his head around it; I barely could. Memories of all the chaos Your Silver had caused came to my mind. So it was the work of a girl–who, according to Jake, looked like a teenager? She had the aura of my mother. It was very impressive.
“Perhaps, like Dara, her family was murdered, and she became such a wild version of herself,” I said, smirking.
Jake snapped his head at me. “Are you accepting it? I think Jonah is lying.”
“I am not. I’ve met her lots of times already. I’ve seen her use her abilities. I am yet to see her silver wolf, though,” Jonah pouted slightly.
