You Rejected A Silver Wolf
Don't Rih Me

Rihanna's Point of view

An Alpha being my mate was commendable, but I was on my way to being an Alpha myself. So... I'd pass.

I figured Alpha Jaden was my mate when I came close to the courtroom and caught his scent. I knew it well, though it was mingled with a sweeter aroma.

Lana was excited, but I wasn't. I made Ray leave so the connection would break-I didn't want him distracting me. He alone should catch my scent.

Chris turned to Alpha Jaden as I winked at him. Was he jealous? He shouldn't be. We were over! And no relationship was starting either. Didn't he have a good for nothing as wife now? He should treasure such a wonderful match for him from the mood Goddess.

"No!" he snapped.

I smirked, snapping my fingers as my warriors stationed buckets around the Alphas, except for Black Rose. They were my allies.

"In ten minutes, all those Alphas will have their insides melted out. In one minute, you can sign that and give my pack all the rights a pack should have," I declared, taking a step closer. "Chris, in case you didn't hear what this guard said..." I pointed at the guard who had a knife to his chest.

"I have Vanessa. She's being beaten brutally by one of my warriors because, well, she's a jerk and always has been. So..." I tilted my head. "Be a good big brother and start listening."

It was almost cute how Chris quickly picked up the treaty and scanned through it upon hearing Vanessa was being beaten.

"This doesn't make you a pack, Rih..."

"Don't Rih me!" I barked. "I am Your Silver to you. Your one and only nemesis. Don't you dare Rih me." I pointed at his shocked face.

The Alphas gave him both pleading and condescending looks. I strolled over to them, stopping in front of the Red Moon Alpha. "Just so you know, Beta Gaius died staring at the body of the prettiest lady in the world," I mocked. The Alpha's face squeezed.

I overheard Alpha Jaden growl. Was he annoyed to hear that? I glared at him. "I'm being nice to your pack, Jaden, but it's thanks to Jonah."

He met my gaze. It didn't have disgust, but neither did it hold full support. I cared less and turned away.

"Signed?" I asked Chris as I walked toward him.

He threw the treaty at me. "Yes. Let Vanessa go."

"Okay. But not the Alphas, right?" I teased.

"Let all of them go, Rih..."

"It's Your Silver," I corrected again with a glare.

He bit his lips, exhaling. "Let them go, Your Silver. And no pack will hunt you or your warriors."

The Alphas growled angrily in disagreement. They looked like rabid dogs.

That made me burst into hysterical laughter, and my warriors joined in. "Y'all look so piteous. But since we are under one kingdom..." I nodded at my warrior, who began removing each bucket of silver, one by one. "I'll let you go, by my own mercy," I ended.

The effect of the silver would make them weak for days. By then, my warriors and I would have settled in our new land—a land between Red Moon and Black Rose, made up of all the small packs we had raided. I hoped the girls would feel at home while rebuilding their lands.

"So, since my treaty is signed and I've made my glorious presence known, I'll be taking my leave." I wriggled my fingers at everyone.

"Dara, you can stop beating Vanessa now," I mind-linked as we all walked away.

"All the silver buckets are gone, but everyone's still too weak to chase," Dara replied.

"I stopped a while ago. She wasn't strong enough to endure, and it's sad 'kill her' wasn't your order."

A smile crept across my face. Vanessa still had those princess privileges that kept her from training? She was more than a useless mate to Jonah.

I strolled into Vanessa's room where Dara was. A small pint of blood stained the bed where the princess lay. Her eyes lifted when she saw me. "Rihanna?"

I wanted her to call me Rihanna. She never did back then-it was always 'bitch' or 'you.' Now, I was in a position to demand my name.

Still, I corrected her. "It's Your Silver to you too, bitch."

I took out silver from the bucket and rubbed it on my hands, proving I was Your Silver. Her eyes widened in disbelief.

"As someone who was once unwanted, I feel your pain," I mocked.

Even if she was deaf, she should've caught the sarcasm. Her eyes narrowed at me.

"You didn't die, and you destroyed the peace of the man who rejected you. You're still..."

I slapped her face before she finished. "I feel nothing but sympathy for Chris. I'd have waited a while to take revenge, but there were changes in plans." Camilla alerted me that the royal warriors were closing in. We'd infiltrated with little attention so far, but now we had to leave.

"Bye, and stay a bitch!" I said as I climbed down the palace wall.

My warriors laughed as Camilla called, "Alpha Your Silver!"

I pouted. "Too long?"

They nodded.

"Call it Alpha Rihanna, then. No need for too much formality."

We began heading to our pack land. There would be a lot of rebuilding and relocating. Thankfully, Boots and Rivers Market were nearby.

"Ah, Lana, I'm already thinking like an Alpha. It's sad I haven't unlocked it yet," I whined.

"You're still a higher-level Beta, but you can take down a weaker Alpha," she confirmed.

"I expected you to end the Red Moon Alpha there," she added with a huff.

I chuckled. "Trust me, it was tempting, but that'd be too vague. Maybe another time."

A feeling of accomplishment swept over me. The secret was out now. I could sleep knowing I'd left Chris and Jaden in emotional turmoil. It was so satisfying.
