An Ally
Chapter Hundred and Sixty-Two - An Ally
Chris's POV
I stared at the exquisite swords and armor suits that Jake had prepared for Ray-for his
birthday.
My Beta would be a year older soon, and I didn't even have a clue. I was an embarrassment.
Jaden took out yet another sword but placed it back again. He ran his hands through his hair, looking confused.
"Well, I think that's all. Jake said the red is for Ray. The pink is for Rihanna. I don't know why he thinks she'd like pink."
I nodded, wrapping the pile of gifts in a cloth and tying it closed.
"Ray will get them. But where's Jake? Ray might throw a party, so he should gift these himself."
Jaden closed the cardboard box where he picked the swords from. He stayed there for a while before replying to me. "Jake left to search for Ralph."
Search for him? "Don't we already know where Ralph is? With Logan?"
He faced me. "True, but we aren't completely sure he's with Logan. Also, if there are any clues he left before being abducted, we'd find them."
If they weren't sure about where to head, why did he call for an attack on Logan? We could delay confronting the Lycan if there wasn't any need to. Red Moon's pack members wouldn't be killed quickly since Logan needed them.
"It was Jake who opted to go. I'm sure Logan has Ralph, and I'll meet him soon," Jaden added, then walked out of the training ground.
Maybe I should change the subject because whenever we spoke about Ralph and Logan, his gloomy energy engulfed the surroundings.
I didn't know his wolf could dispense emotions like this. I didn't know any werewolf could.noveldrama
The energy was eerie but not dark. Intimidating but not dangerous. Was his Alpha King aura emerging?
"By the way, did Jonah and Vanessa get together?" I changed the subject.
His eyes widened. "In what way do you mean?" He had a smirk on his face.
I was glad I improved his mood. "I mean, did they resolve their differences? Is a wedding upcoming, you know?"
The smirk was still on his face when he looked away, staring into space. "They should take it slow. Vanessa isn't ready to be a wife yet."
Did he mean that in a bad way or just in a 'she's not ready yet' way? "Oh, but that should be their decision, shouldn't it?"
"If it was based on Jonah's decision, he'd rather reject her," Jaden confessed.
My forehead creased. He shouldn't dare. Then he'd end up alone for the rest of his life?
"He has someone he loves. A hunter who lost her mate a year ago. But I prevented him from rejecting Vanessa. They could still work out."
They better work out.
After all the mess with Logan was over, I wanted my sister married and happy. Also, Sasha back to her normal shape, with my son in my arms.
"But no worries. Right now, Jonah left to bring back my mother. She needs to be here at times like this. He'll be back," Jaden added.
He should really be back. My father couldn't suffer a heartbreak, his son live without a mate, and then his daughter be rejected by hers.
"Very few people can ignore the mate bond. I'm sure Jonah will come around later on," I said.
Jaden chuckled but didn't reply.
I had lunch while Jaden stayed outside, looking at the skies. I wasn't sure why he didn't join me.
Maybe because the maids shivered when he got close to them. They were in the omega rank, so his energy frightened them.
"Are you waiting for someone in particular?" I called his attention when he tried leaving.
"Yes, for Liam. He was the one I was waiting for in the forest before you arrived," he responded.
That Lycan boy? "How does he help with Logan anyway? I don't trust these Lycans..." "But you trust Sun Burn Kingdom, right?" Jaden interrupted.

I snapped my head at him and frowned. "They're our allies. What does that have to do with the boy?"
"His mother is a royal princess under their Lycan jurisdiction. So treat him as a guest from the Kingdom. Liam is Logan's enemy too."
My jaw fell open. I didn't know Sun Burn Kingdom had accepted a Lycan jurisdiction.
Perhaps I was wrong about Lycans. Surely, one Lycan had shown them that not all of his species were power-hungry.
"I wasn't aware. So Liam knows about Logan's evil doings?" I looked at my plate.
Jaden confirmed. "Yes, Logan hurt him when he tried to save the Red Moon's members."
The boy had even defended them? My thoughts on him were wrong. Though he still had that energy that screamed danger.
Jaden continued, "Now, he's looking for the hideout. Once he tells me where, I'll leave."
I asserted, "We-you mean we'll leave. I came here to pick up Vanessa, but if Logan is
still out there, she's not safe yet."
"Why do you think she wouldn't be safe here?"
I smiled coyly. "A brother's worry."
I finished my plate of food in a hurry and joined Jaden outside, awaiting the boy.
I was careful not to speak about Ralph and more about random things that made Jaden laugh.
A dangerous energy came close. Liam.
"He's here," I told Jaden.
His smile faded. "And hopefully with news."
Another energy followed Liam. They both sped toward us and halted, after passing by
a step.

"Oh no! Alpha Chris!" Liam went back.
I scoffed. "I'm not going to kill you. Tell me, did you find where Logan is hiding?"
The boy with him nodded. "A pack house that belonged to a tribe. They were destroyed by Red Moon. It's beside Blue Fire."
Jaden turned to me, and I faced him as well.
"If Logan was beside Blue Fire all this while, why didn't Blue Fire alert us?" "Possibly due to fear or they didn't know. The pack house is hidden," the boy replied. Liam groaned, holding onto his stomach. "I'm quite hungry now. You two should go along. I felt energy there, so I'm sure there are survivors."
Jaden exhaled, gesturing for the boy to leave.
Wait, why should he leave? If he was a good Lycan and was helping, shouldn't he lend
a hand?
"Don't expect Liam and Mi Destino to join in killing Logan. It's too much to ask," Jaden said, marching off.
How was it too much? I glanced at the boys chatting and walking away.
I didn't understand, but as long as they were on our side, it was enough.
I stretched an arm to Jaden. "Let me take you there. You should reserve your energy."
"Thank you." He held onto me, and I sped off.
I had been to that part of Blue Fire once, so I knew to stop below the volcano.
Jaden stood still, sensing for the Lycan's powerful energy, but he didn't find any. "Wherever Logan is, it's protected by silver. I can't reach it," he sighed.
I tried to sense him, but Jaden was right.
This was a job for a Silver Wolf-only that ours went on a fun trip beyond the seven
seas.
