You Rejected A Silver Wolf
Useless Lycan

Chapter Fifty-Four - Useless Lycan

Jaden's

POV

Spies and rogues. They were two groups I hated a lot.

My hands crawled to the neck of the man and began strangling the life out of him. It was quite funny when the Moon Goddess gave me a rogue as a mate. Maybe it was because it wasn't her destiny to be a rogue.

The man fell lifeless. I kicked him and moved towards the other shaking man.

Rihanna's destiny was to be a Luna Queen-a powerful one, just like the Silver Luna Queen, Chris's grandmother. She should have had a kingdom that ruled other packs and a love that flourished without the pain of a broken heart, knowing her mate valued her. That should have been her fate.

I frowned as the shaking man moved back; I didn't have all day. My claws came out, and I slowly dragged the flesh off his skin. His screams were only a melody to my thoughts.

Rihanna being a broken yet powerful Alpha was admirable but steered far from what her future was supposed to be. She had been deprived of her chance to be a Silver Queen by a selfish man-or had Chris actually been selfish? What had made him do that?

The man stopped screaming and fell dead. I left him and moved toward the tied lady.

Deep down, I wanted my mate to get back the future she deserved. To be the Silver Luna Queen as the Moon Goddess had planned for her. But I couldn't change the past. I only wanted her present to change. But again, it might have been too late.

Perhaps the Moon Goddess had given her another future. Or had she?

The lady kicked my legs, jolting me from my thoughts. My eyes shifted from red to their normal color.

"Please scream rather than kicking me, okay?" I asked her gently, reaching for her neck.

She shook her head and bit off the cloth tied to her mouth. "Don't kill me, please! Don't kill me!"

Her words distracted my thoughts. I disconnected from my wolf and looked down at her. I realized she was a Red Moon spy.

"You are a spy from Red Moon? Don't they usually send warriors, or are they tired of acting impulsively?" I smirked, stepping back.

Her breathing slowed as I wasn't making a move to end her. She looked at the dead men and gulped. "I was forced to come."

"Hmm," I said dismissively, sensing the lie in her words. "You weren't. Perhaps you'd be given gold if you provided them with useful information." She glared at me. "I really was forced here!"

"Don't lie to me!" I gripped her neck suddenly, startling her. She tried to push my wrist away but was too weak to make it move.

"Drop your hands, or my claws will leave their places and tear into your neck!" I ordered.

She involuntarily dropped her hands while gasping for breath. I let go of her, and she fell.

I hadn't even realized I had lifted her off the ground. I sighed. My wolf should really stop getting in my way.

"Okay, I'll let you talk with these wolves when you can easily kill them and go rest," he huffed.

"If we kill them all, we won't know exactly what they want. Stay clear and let me do my thing," I retorted.

"Fine." He retreated to the back of my head.

I breathed out, my eyes assuming their normal color again. My wolf always switched them without my consent.

"Now, let's talk. You're not a rogue like these men, so why did they send an official to spy here? I love the attention, but why?" I sat down. She looked under the table where I sat. There was a saw beneath it. She glanced at me in fear.

"I swear, I'm not going to use that on you," I assured.

"Yet," my wolf whispered, making me frown.

The young girl swallowed hard. "Actually, my Alpha has always been sending spies here. I'm the only one who ever sent back information." She had sent back information? "What did you send?" I frowned.

She looked down. "I informed him that you sent warriors to help your Silver and even visited her as an ally."

Hearing her say "as an ally" made me exhale. I thought she'd assume I wanted a relationship with her. It gladdened me that she wasn't that... smart. "You should be proud of yourself. You're the first spy to do that," I grinned.

Her eyes dilated as I got up again. "If that's all you've done, then I doubt you've been here long. It's best to end you now. You can't help me..." "Actually, I can!" she interjected.

I retracted my claws. "How? And I don't want a spy for Red Moon. What happens there doesn't concern me."

"It should," she hurriedly said. "You know of the Lycan King there?"

My eyes widened. Lycan King? I knew of the Lycan Red Moon had been wanting to trade with Black Hills, but he was a King?

My wolf came closer to get a fill-in on this gossip. He was particularly interested.

"What about the Lycan King? And how did Red Moon get a Lycan King?" I inquired, almost disbelieving her.

A Lycan was really powerful. An average Lycan could combat a Beta, more so a full Lycan. Then a King of Lycans? Something didn't add up. "And how do you know he's the Lycan King?"

"He's crazy! Mad! He killed all his family and was heavily injured so much that he's like a warrior wolf," she replied.

"Then he's almost useless," I deadpanned.

"No, he's rebuilding. A fight with a Silver wolf will greatly improve him. He'll be Red Moon and Black Hills' secret weapon," she smirked. Those two packs would seriously not accept trading a Lycan in our world to a Silver wolf.

"That was the arrangement before I left Red Moon. I don't know if it commenced or changed. I can find out if you let me go," she pleaded. She was very convincing. I wanted to protect my mate, and I'd need an insider. But if I let this spy go, how could I be sure she wouldn't run away? "Let's do this. You keep being a spy for Red Moon, but in turn, you ask for information that can facilitate your espionage," I offered. She cocked her head. "You'll let me keep being a spy?"

I nodded. "So far, I have few secrets to hide. If I do, you wouldn't know about it, even if you tried. I'll assign a warrior to you so you won't leave." She nodded readily. "As long as I don't die, I'll do anything you please."

I sensed sincerity in her words. A part of me felt she was tired of working with Red Moon. They also had a history of disposing of their spies. "Very well. Stay here. I'll send a warrior for you to answer to," I told her, walking away.

She nodded, and I left the barn. The warrior outside went in immediately and removed the dead men.

I mind-linked him. "I'm assigning her to you. She'll report Red Moon's information, and you'll report to me."

He replied, "Yes, Alpha. And Beta Ralph came shortly to say that King Chris is currently at Silver Pack. He thought you should know."

I froze, cutting off my mind link. Why was Chris there? My wolf came to the surface. What did he want with her?

He'd recently released her parents to her, and now he came himself? Was he trying to gain her favor? Or was I overthinking? "Don't be jealous. Let's go there now!"

"That would be

impulsive," I retorted.

Yet I let my wolf shift. We would visit. I didn't like the idea of my mate being alone with an ex.
