Chapter Hundred and Thirty Two Thorned Roses
Rihanna’s POV
The energy that came with being free had been starved from my veins for almost a week since Chris’s letter circulated.
A good thing had happened, though–for one, the Blue Bloom Alpha got married and actually invited me with an honorary introduction. I was glad to be at the wedding since I doubted I’d be at another. My brother was already married.
However, I felt stiff and conscious there because of the direct threat over my life and Silver energy. Even Lana felt drained. But now, I was free again And soon, Logan would be the one suffocating.
I was strolling happily along the forest when a distinct growl resonated around me. I halted, then tried following it. It wasn’t intimidating like the ones I knew, but a great energy came from it.
My breathing hitched when I saw the bare back of a male in human form.
What were all those muscles for? My cheeks reddened a bit until I caught the scent of the wolf.
“Beta Ralph! I should kill you for coming close to my boundary!” I scolded, walking toward him.
His legs were bare, and he seemed injured. I looked closer and saw he had dipped his legs in a nearby river, which had silver particles floating in it.
“Oh, sorry about that. The river is connected to the Boots and Rivers market, so it’s silver–infested,” a snicker left my lips.
He glared at me, and I tilted my head. “What injured you, though?”
“Roses‘ thorns. I tried picking some wild ones, but they were filled with thorns,” he muttered, putting on his shirt.
He must have entered the little farm that had wild roses around us because he had scratch marks on his back too.
“Doesn’t Black Rose have a literal rose valley? Why come here to pick some?” I inquired.
He glanced at me, then at the water. “I traveled, as you know, with your mate, Jaden.”
He knew Jaden was my mate? My eyes widened, but I quickly masked
my
surprise.
“But then, my mate was mad at me for leaving on short notice. So, my punishment was getting her roses that aren’t from Rose Valley!”
He sounded so pissed! I chuckled to fuel his anger, and he snapped his head toward me.
“Of course, you females are all evil!”
He wore his shoes and began stomping toward Boots and Rivers market. “I’ll just buy from the market and go home. I’m done with this.”
Imagine fighting anyone who touched your roses only to be prohibited from touching them to pay your debt–because of your mate.
The mate bond really made him do crazy things. Or was it love? Or was it his petty mate? Either way, to each their own.
“Why are you following me?” he paused, noticing I was still walking behind him.
“I’m heading to that market too,” I answered.
“You should be careful about Logan, and Jaden had something to tell you about him,” he said, continuing to walk.
I shrugged. “Logan should try. I can’t back away from what I started because of fear of losing my energy. I also doubt he can just take it.”
