You Rejected A Silver Wolf
His Losses

Chapter Sixty - His Losses

Swapping of destinies was all the witches of Red Moon were known for. Swapping mates wasn't in the list. But it'd make sense; after all, your mate was a huge part of your future and destiny. Red Moon had treaded far. The Alpha was on the chair, looking defeated. I needed the full story. If this was what Jake was holding on to blackmail them, it was good.

"I understand why'd you send her to Red Moon, but why as an Alpha's mate?" I asked. If they wanted a spy, sending her there would be good enough. Why deceive their Alpha King to achieve that?

"Minerva couldn't bear being a Delta's mate. She always wanted to be an Alpha's mate," he said, exhilarating. Minerva was Chris's mother.

She couldn't bear being a Delta's mate? So she was a Delta's mate? The current Luna was actually a Delta's daughter.

"Could you explain? You mean Alpha Wayne's Delta was actually Minerva's mate?" Ralph inquired.

Red Moon's Alpha nodded. "And we swapped his mate to be the actual Luna. He married the mate of Alpha Wayne," he looked down. Jake went back. I bet he didn't also know that part.

"I didn't know that part. So two people's mates were swapped?" he murmured. "Red Moon will be destroyed by Wayne when he finds out."

"But the current Luna is the rightful Luna's daughter. She was still rewarded somehow," the Red Moon Alpha defended.

Was that valid? She wasn't also Chris's rightful Luna, so it was still invalid. Her mother should have been the Luna Queen.

"That's not fair to Chris; the Luna was arranged. You cheated Wayne of a mate, and now Chris is being cheated as well!" Ralph was fuming. For the part of Chris being cheated, I'd say he caused that on himself, but every other thing aligned. His father wouldn't recover from this. Ralph marched to the Alpha. "We will not keep this quiet!"

My hands fell from my waist. This would cause too much drama. Where would the corrections be made? Minerva birthed the Alpha King's son, who later married the true Luna's daughter. The swapped destinies were becoming complicated. "You have to. Yes, Red Moon will be destroyed, but the people will also hate Chris, accusing him of being half-blood royal," the Alpha noted.

Half-blood royal? He's the Alpha King's son, so a true royal. That's a ridiculous accusation. Also, we did intend to keep it quiet, as a blackmail. "So Alpha Wayne should keep living with that traitor as a mate while his own mate was with his Delta?" Ralph barked.

"Yes," I answered.

Ralph turned to me, confused. "Yes, like we'd keep it quiet?"

I nodded. "Even the true Luna won't want to be the Luna anymore. It's been twenty-three years plus already. The Delta isn't at fault either."

"I know. Neither the Delta or Alpha is at fault. Only Red Moon and that Minerva! She's a fraud," Ralph pointed to the direction of Black Hills. "And will stay as a fraud," Jake interrupted.

"No!" I disagreed. "Red Moon will look for whatever excuse they could muster and bring her out of the palace."

Jake snapped his head at me and asked through mind link, "Take her out? It will raise questions."

"Questions Red Moon will answer," I replied.

The Red Moon Alpha frowned. "Take her away from Wayne? He's very possessive of her. How'd that happen!"

"Well, that's your cup of tea, isn't it!" Ralph pointed at him before rolling his eyes. "I can't believe you'd do that to your King!"

That showed some deep level of betrayal there. Thank the moon goddess that those witches were all gone. I'd never want a similar story.

"Black Hills lost a true Luna twice. They are surely cursed by the Moon goddess," Ralph sighed.

We all looked up at him, and he had his psychic face on. Sasha's mother and Rihanna. The two true Lunas that were lost. Well, they had moved on; nothing was sending them back. The deal had been done; the curse proclaimed. Indeed, Chris might not stay Alpha King for long, and it wouldn't be his fault. There was too much pollution in the royal seat.

"Well, as we keep this quiet for you. You have to make sure Silver Pack and Black Rose are off from your stupid plans," Jake strolled around.

The Red Moon Alpha kept his head down as he spoke, in a submissive manner. Surely, he was not expecting such a twist this good evening. The realization of today was still overwhelming me. Destiny and mate swap should never be a thing ever again.

"I have a way of removing the curse, of righting my father's wrongs," the Alpha announced, hushing Jake from his speech.

He came down from his throne and walked to me. "Alpha Jaden, help me. You are closer to Your Silver. Let's bring her back to Black Hills."

I think I was missing what he meant. "Bring her back to Black Hills to do what there?" I asked innocently.

Jake rushed to my side. "No, Your Silver is done with Chris, and you can't fix it. They rejected each other. The land is cursed. Still your fault."

I pushed the Alpha back on impulse; he was confused by my reaction. Jake held my arm. Had he actually meant to set Rihanna up with Chris so one true Luna would be back? That couldn't happen. Chris had already been replaced. Both in Rihanna's life and as Alpha King. It was sad to agree but true.

"Then will we watch Black Hills slowly crumble? I guess this brings that prophecy to light in a way," the Alpha sighed.

My brother and Ralph were lost.

"Yes, now we are basically allies..."

"By default of your blackmailing me?" Red Moon's Alpha frowned. He didn't have a choice, so he should start acting like it. "Yes, by the blackmail, and note, I have witnesses. So better cooperate and tell us what prophecy is on now," Jake added.

"A new Alpha King," the Alpha responded quickly. "Chris sent a Lycan to kill who'd be Your Silver's new mate as he will be the one." "Wait, who gave her grace for her mate to be the new Alpha King? So either way, she becomes a Luna Queen?" it annoyed Ralph. "It's her destiny!" Jake cheered.

Ralph folded his hands. "Why does it seem like you knew?"

"I didn't. But the news is surely not detrimental to me," Jake bragged.

The Alpha was quiet while they chatted and argued. He was surely going through a dilemma, seeing he was vulnerable to his worst person.

"They are many times our parents make mistakes, and we pay for it," I told him.

He looked up at me, with saddened eyes. "That's the most relatable things you've ever said to me, perhaps the nicest too."

I nodded, even if I said that more to Chris than to him. Chris was quite unfortunate; he'd be losing his mother, had lost his true Luna and arranged Luna, and soon his throne. "I'm glad you relate, make less mistakes from now on," I said to the Red Moon Alpha.

Author's note: Do you think it's fair for Black Rose to be quiet about the mate swap? What do you think will be Chris's fate?
