You Rejected A Silver Wolf
Kids!

Chapter Fifty-Seven - Kids!

It had been a month since my coronation and the sealing of Silver Pack as one of the packs under Black Hills. Beatrice was back, weirdly and happily, with a son. I hadn't gotten the time to ask her where he'd come from, but he surely wasn't hers.

My pack was like a normal one now. We decided to major in gold mining, as we were very used to dark places due to our roguish nature. And Blue Bloom was solely majoring in fishery, so we could as well steal their source of income. Everything was going smoothly, well, I even got to chat with Ray for a minute at the coronation. He had been Chris's representative. But Alpha Jaden had been acting weird since his last visit. He stayed for only a few minutes during my coronation. He spoke only congratulatory words to me and left before any official saw us together. I mean, we weren't doing anything wrong.

Jake attended the majority of his meetings and never spoke of his brother. I doubted I'd be welcomed if I went there. I must have said something wrong on the day he visited, or was it about what Chris had said? I never knew what it was. And after I thought hard on it, I realized that he had said something about him being careful. I really should have asked what he'd heard.

A knock on the door of the courtroom broke my thoughts. I glanced at the silhouette of the figure, looking through the door with wolf vision. It was a small man, Beatrice's son. He wasn't small, at eight, but he surely didn't look it with that three-foot height.

"Alpha?" he peeked inside when I said nothing. He smiled broadly on seeing me. "My mom is coming to see you."

"She should come, I'm right here," I said in a flat tone. The kid didn't catch that I wanted to be alone and walked inside.

"No! I tricked you, she's not coming," he began laughing. What was funny? My face didn't even move. Since when did I dislike kids this much?

"What's that?" he pointed at a painting.

"It's a nonyabusiness."

He made a surprised face. "Wow? What's 'noyabizne' for?"

I groaned internally; he was so dumb and curious. Those two shouldn't go hand in hand.

"It's just a painting, okay?" I sighed, flipping through the book in front of me.

He came in front of my book and stood before the light. "What are you reading, Alpha?"

My fists clenched, but I hid them away from him, not because I didn't want him to see it, but I didn't want him to know when I'd use it!

"Nonyabusiness, the latest edition."

He looked at the painting and my book. "That painting is from this book?" his eyes widened.

He must be kidding me! But I nodded, anything to make him let me be. He ran to the painting and looked at it enthralled. I sighed. Beatrice should come get her kid.

Like the Moon goddess heard me, Beatrice walked in, with a frown, marching towards me.

"Here to scold your kid for leaving his room?" I asked her in mind link.

She slowed down and gazed at her son. "No, I knew he was here with you."

She what? And she let him?

"Actually, we have a rogue problem. We caught a spy from Red Moon that has been here for a while, dating one of our warriors," she reported.

I rose from my seat, the kid ran behind his mother. Did I look scary? Maybe I should look this way all the time to get him off my track? "Where's the bastard and his lover?" I barked, storming out of the courtroom.

Red Moon had someone here for long? How did they ever get past without me knowing? And why didn't she just handle this one? "Greta?!" I yelled in disbelief.

She jumped and ran in front of a young man, kneeling on the floor, in a protective stance. "Alpha, I can explain."

I blinked furiously. Greta was the one who fell for a Red Moon warrior? She was supposed to be a smart badass. Emphasis on smart.

"Do explain. He's been here for a month already, who knows the information you've shared with him," Beatrice barked, making Greta sob.

"He's not dangerous," she sniffed.

I glared at the young man. He was still a teenager, like Greta. At best, he'd be nineteen. Using my wolf vision, I could tell he wasn't an ordinary wolf but a warrior wolf.

"He has greater strength than you, Greta," I said.

She looked up at me and saw my eyes were reddish-orange; she understood I was checking him.

"But he said he was an omega," she looked at him.

"I am," he pleaded, but Beatrice slapped him.

"Liar! You are a spy from Red Moon. How do you think I caught you! You were sending letters!"

Greta placed her hands in her mouth in disbelief, tears streamed down her eyes. I calmed down, exhaling. She'd be the second warrior who'd be getting their heart broken; I hated this. And how could she just fall in love like that? These girls. "I wasn't, I really wasn't!" the young man kept on acting.

Beatrice kicked his stomach, and he fell face down. Some warriors picked him and pulled his face up. Greta turned away.

"I housed him for weeks now. I'm ashamed."

"He didn't touch, did he?" I nodded to be sure we weren't expecting another kid around here.

She shook her head in the negative. "I was hoping he'd be my mate first."

"Girl!" Beatrice grunted. "You both are already past eighteen; you don't need to wait a month to know if he's your mate or not."

I rolled my eyes at Greta's statement. Indeed, she got the badass but left the smart.

"Leave. We'd take it from here!"

She was reluctant but finally, with slumped shoulders, ran away and bumped into Dara. "What's going on?" Dara asked, walking into the scene. "Why's Greta's face wet?"

"She's crying," Beatrice responded in a matter-of-factly manner.

"I see that, but why..."

"A Red Moon warrior sneaked in here," I replied to Dara. "You can drop your act and start speaking."

The young man looked hurt; he swallowed saliva and said, "Yes, I was sent."

"Good," Beatrice smiled, proud that she caught him. "And how did you get in here?"

"I sneaked in somehow," he said plainly.

"Shut up! I am the warrior in charge! Not even squirrels pass the border!" Dara yelled.

He flinched and looked down; his lips trembled.

"How long did Greta say he'd been here?" I asked Beatrice.

Her eyes were boring holes in the young man; she sighed and said, "A month already."

My mind went back to any suspicious activity that happened a month ago. Then it clicked. Chris had visited. He came in with some warriors, but I didn't count how many. Since he was working with Red Moon, could he have sneaked in spies? After all, Alpha Jaden that day had told me he caught a spy of theirs.

"You were really smart to have used a warrior to live here. Smart one," I folded my arms.

He didn't look so pleased, because he was caught? "Tell me why I shouldn't kill you now?"

"Cause, it will annoy the former Luna. She sent me here, and Princess Vanessa sent me after a warrior. I am under their orders."

"Wait, did you just threaten our Alpha with the Princess and former Luna Queen?" Dara scoffed.

Beatrice rolled her eyes in disbelief.

"He actually gave us useful information. Now we know that Red Moon and Black Hills royalties are all scared of me," I folded my arms. "I'd bundle you to them, of course after torture. I've a message for yor queen; you'd be delivering it," I spoke, looking him in the eye.
