Chapter Hundred and Twenty–Six My reward.
Rihanna’s POV
There was commotion inside the courtroom. I was being escorted by Black Hills warriors.
One of them had given me his jacket to cover my. scarred back,s I came to report to Chris.
I flung the door open and gazed at Vanessa, Sasha, and Chris. Had they been arguing?
I bet it was Sasha that dragged Vanessa into it. Like always. “I’m sorry to intrude.” I wasn’t.
Chris’s eyes went around my body, taking note of the bruises. He left his throne. “You were attacked outside the border?”
He had also noticed the warrior that returned with me was a border warrior.
I nodded. “It was some rogues sent by Logan to raid Black Hills
As I pronounced those words, Vanessa’s eyes became bloodshot. “How dare those wolves?”
“They heard the Black Hills Alpha got blind, so became confident. They were… a lot.” I nodded at my words.
I winced when I made a step; I stayed in place. “So I’m here to say I’m returning. I have to be at my pack in case he
decides to attack…”
“You are injured and can barely walk! How’d you leave or defend any pack!” Chris barked.
Sasha glanced at him with pursed lips; she dragged her eyes to me. “You should stay and heal first before…”
“I’m leaving. I’m with my Delta.” I’d already mind linked Camilla to meet me at the courtroom. “But thanks for the concern and hosting.”
Vanessa marched to me; she attempted to take the jacket off, but I held her arm. “Don’t. I’d be on my way now.” My eyes shone bright red.
She ran back, feeling threatened. But I did that, trying to get power from my Alpha wolf and made steps.
I turned around, smiling at the warrior. “I’d be taking this jacket.”
He bowed. “It will be an honor. Thank you.”
“And I guess I owe you a second reward,” Chris said, pausing me from taking a step.
A smile graced my face on realizing what I wanted my first reward to be. “Yeah, and for my first one, singlehandedly kill all the rogues.”
I turned to him. “They are the Mi Vida sect, If you ask around, you’d know where they base.”
Chris lowered his eyebrows, with a cocked head.

His sister and Luna frowned at me, then snapped their heads at him, hoping he’d reject it.
“I did say I’d do anything as long as it won’t kill me,” he reminded, looking me over.
smirked. “Fighting some rogues won’t kill you. And if you strategize, you’d kill them faster.”
“You’re crazy! You want him to suffer like you!” Vanessa screamed.
“It’d be good training for him. And didn’t the rogues try to attack your pack? He would have still killed them!” I shouted

Sasha’s hands clenched beside her; she looked up at me in a disdainful manner.
Camilla showed up at the door; she bowed to all available. “I’ve prepared the horses for leaving. And I packed our lunch.”
I chuckled. You got your priorities right, girl.” I made a small bow to the royalties in the building before leaving.
The warrior, who gave me his jacket, helped me to my horse. He was quite the gentleman.
And I hadn’t noticed him at the border when we came in. “Thank you,
what’s your name?”
“Fredrick,” he smiled. “My father was a former lead warrior; I visited your
home as a

I got it; he was Cara’s younger brother.
kid.”
Maintaining my smile, I nodded. “Thank you, Frederick. And good bye.” I started riding.
My smile fell as I passed the border, but I didn’t hold a grudge against the young man. At least, he made a good first impression.
“I’m sorry I wasn’t with you,” Camilla muttered.
“No, I’m glad you weren’t. We would have died together. Or you alone, then I’d be sent to Logan.” I shivered at those words.
“I didn’t think rogues were that powerful.”
“They were more than a dozen. And most were already in warrior ranks. That’s a battle–ready rank, so they defeat,” I explained.
She sighed, looking at the skies. “I should take Dara more seriously then.”
I
laughed. “Hell, you should.”

Three times I nearly fell off my horse while riding back to my pack. My injuries weren’t healing fast, and I was still bleeding.

I heard sounds, then someone pulled me down the horse, into two strong arms. My body was weak, and I was barely
conscious.
“I’d go get medications,” I heard Camilla say, then she jumped down her horse.
“Were we at Silver Pack already? It sounded like it. My face was ressed. I wanted to push whoever it was away.
“Did those warriors do this?” it was Jaden. I relaxed; he was looking at my slashed back.
“Don’t worry, you killed the perpetrator. He was your last kill,” mumbled.
He covered my back and rested me on his chest.
Was that allowed? In my pack? Anyone could
ee us? But I didn’t have the strength to stop it.
“Were you happy at Black Hills? Did you feel welcomed?” he whispered in my ears.
It was quite ticklish, but I shoved the thoughts and nodded. “It was good. I got Chris to…” a painful shiver ran through my spine.
He patted my head, then adjusted me on his chest. “Sorry.”
I continued. “I got Chris to go challenge the rogues that you saw. The group is called Mi Vida. Named after the leader’s daughter actually.”
Her father was really obsessed with her.
There was no reply from Jaden. What I said didn’t really need a reply.
“I’d have done that for you. Why ask Chris?” he finally replied.
Did he misunderstand me, or was I the one?
“He owed me a reward. And I wanted him to get hurt a bit. Also, they were after his pack, I just happened to meet them first,” I explained.
He held onto my hands, playing with my fingers. “You’d have thought of something meaner. Chris is an Alpha King and will play with the rogues.”
“You overestimate him too much,” I tsked. “And if you give me meaner suggestions, I’d use it.”
He chuckled. “No, I don’t hate Chris. I just don’t like the idea of him avenging you. I’d do it, okay?”
Was I supposed to agree? I could protect and avenge myself, but I replied, “Um… Sure.”
