Chapter Hundred and Twenty–Seven – Don’t hate her.
Chris’s POV
After Your Silver left, I left the courtroom through the other dour and sped to Black Hills market.
It was just my attempt to avoid a repeat of an argument with Sasha and Vanessa.
They were back to their old habit of coaxing me into making decisions that’d favor and punish whom they’d like.
It was usually the maids, and I thought Vanessa had outgrown that and become more mature.
Her best friend’s return brought everything back.
I took off my royal garments and turned them inside out.
It was a darker shade of brown inside, so I wore it on top, to assume a less recognizable appearance.
Not many wolves in Black Hills knew what I looked like. I could easily walk around and get some well–deserved peace.
“Till someone recognizes and throws stones at you,” Zeke scoffed.
What had I done to him? Or to the wolves who’d throw stones at me? “If you have nothing good to say, be silent.”
“I will be, when you think properly on your own. Instead of looking for peace, try going after the rogues you so foolishly accepted to kill.”
“Did you expect me to back out from Your Silver’s offer? She fairly won that reward, aren’t you glad she brought the cure?” I asked at once.
“Did your brain ever work out why she’s trying to gain your favor?” He enquired with a mocking tone.
“It didn’t look that way to me,” I replied. “Rather, it seemed she’s trying to look past her hate for me and work for a greater good.”
I added, in case he wasn’t catching up. “Logan’s death is that greatest good.”
“Your death would be good to her as well. She led you to kill rogues which were sent by Logan, she wants you to die,” he kept on ranting.

It was funny how Your Silver’s actions worried him now. He must have gotten deep into Sasha.
As for the rogues being sent by Logan, that was a way of killing them and weakening us. It was his game.
“I’d have still gone after the rogues, as she said, they were coming for my pack,” I said out loud.
“Stop assuming. She’s no longer your mate, but don’t hate her for the hate she shows us. She deserved to hate us.” I closed
the connection.
I breathed in and out, basking in my peace before my mind link got tugged on. Had I been discovered in the market?

But it was from a warrior. “Alpha, we sighted the rogues that attacked Alpha Your Silver trying to get back their dead. Should we let them?”
I hurried towards the border. “Don’t interrupt them, I’d take it from there.”
“This was easy, I’d just need to follow them to their base and finish them off.
“Prepare grenades I’d use. And a poisoned gas as well, keep a mask handy,” I listed.
I made small strides around the pack, watching the pups play and the women gossip about things. It’s always their habit.
“Alpha, they are ready,” the warrior replied. “But the rogues are barely done.”
I sped to the border and waited for each of the rogues to carry at least one body on them.
Were they taking it one at a time? If they lived far,
take very long. Unless they stayed close to us.
The items were handed to me in a soft cloth bag, and

it across my shoulders.
“Fredrick!” I mind linked the closest warrior. “I’d be leaving to fulfill Your Silver’s reward. Keep Ray informed, only after
I’m gone.”
My Beta sometimes had an obsessive tendency whenever I’m heading into
danger alone.
“I’m glad you are aware that you’re heading into danger,” my wolf started again.
I fueled his anger. “Yes, I am.”
“Then why go ahead with it? She just wants us dead! Don’t be stupid!”
“It’s stupid, but I’d do it,” I smirked, following the rogues,
While I was blind, I didn’t train my warriors. Killing these rogues, who meant my pack harm, would be good training
indeed.
I crawled towards a rogue that strayed far from the rest and covered his mouth. My claws shot out, and I placed them on
his neck.
His partners kept walking, not noticing his absence. We were beside a hill, so I threw down the dead body he had on his
back.
My claws were still on his neck when I asked. “Where’s your hideout?”
It would be faster killing them then rushing to their hideout instead of waiting for them to arrive there.
“Let me live, please,” he mumbled.
“Sure, sure,” I lied. “Just tell me where the rest of you are. With the Lycan?” I hoped not.
“At the cave by the seaside, north of Black Hills,” he hurriedly revealed.
My eyes widened. The same place I had gotten blind? That wasn’t good.

“Thank you.” I flipped him Back and over the hills. Wrong move as he screamed while falling, alerting the rest who turned.
“Whatever!” I shrugged.
“I’d just kill them and clear the forest by dropping them at the bottom of the hill. I knew where their base was now.
After being done with them, I took a golden relic from one of the corpses. It looked expensive and quite mythical.
What were the origins of these rogues? They stayed by the sea, so were they travelers or prisoners from another land?
They siding with Logan might be a last resort. They had no one else on their side, so decided to fight with Logan?
To gain what though? Logan’s fight was baseless, unless he had promised them some unknown riches. Worthless promises.
I arrived at the cave. My first move was throwing a stone inside to trigger the arrow formation, which began shooting.
I stood aside till it was done, then hurried in. My wolf felt for Logan’s energy, but he wasn’t close. “You are lucky,” I
smiled.
Majority of the wolves I felt were recently warrior–ranked wolves. Not enough to cause such damage to Your Silver.
Perhaps she was previously injured, or as she became Alpha recently, she hadn’t stabilized.
“Well then, she’d be grateful that I accepted to avenge her,” I smirked.
My wolf raked. “No! You accepted a reward to kill yourself! You aren’t doing her a favor, or maybe you are, by killing yourself!”
I didn’t have his time. I blocked the connection again and stomped to the middle of the cave.
Around thirty wolves were at the middle, which was bigger than I remembered.
An older lady was in their midst, probably the leader. She, with hesitant steps, marched towards me.
“Where’s my son? What did you do with my son?”
Her son? I bet he was amongst the numerous corpses lying outside my border or down the hill.
With one move, I dug my claws into her throat and pulled out her gullet. She fell down, lifeless. The rogues gasped, moving back.
“I’m actually here to kill all of you, so come along, the faster the better,” I gestured.
One of them stepped forward, and I nodded.
