Jaden’s POV
“She was with Your Silver at the moment; I’m sorry.” Dara, the lead warrior, replied.
“She was there to defend him in case of another attack. I doubted there would be any; we handled all so far.”
“I was grateful for the sacrifice.” I made a bow.
She did the same. “But if you have any message you want me to relay to him, I gladly will.” She smiled broadly.
I bet she had been instructed to be comely.
“It would be a wastedffort to come all the way and not meet him. He was supposed to answer our questions,” Jake complained.
“What questions? I had been with Your Silver since his first raid. I can answer them,” she hurriedly said.
A warrior wearing the same uniform as her sped toward us and knelt before her.
“Dara, there’s an issue. Your Silver is…” The warrior stopped speaking upon seeing us.
“What happened to Your Silver?” Jonah asked, oddly concerned.
The warrior sighed, looking at Dara. “Are these the Black Rose leaders?”
Dara nodded, with a frown.
The warrior bowed. “Forgive me. Your Silver was on his way back but got in a fight with his second; they’d be there for a while.”
Jonah sighed, backing away.
“His second is the female silver wolf, right?” He still had the same mocking tone.
Dara glared at him, and he shut his lips together. He did that when he was hiding something. What was he hiding now?
“It’s okay. I will not meddle in his personal business. I will ask you, Dara, my questions and head back to my pack,” I informed.
Dara and the warrior bowed.
“Oh, and do scout before returning in case of Red Moon warriors,” the warrior whispered, but I heard it before leaving.
Dara exhaled, assuming a comfortable stance. “What are your questions, Alpha?”
What lingered in my head at that point was if Dara was the scout I met that day. But my wolf had not reacted to her, so maybe not. “First, I wanted to as if you had some particular wolves who scouted.” It was random; even Ralph was confused.
“Well,” she hesitated. “Your Silver scouts himself. If need be, he asks either I or his Delta to do so.”
I nodded. So Your Silver also had a Delta? He really got a pack for himself. Who had I seen that day then? I wasn’t sure if it was a silver wolf.

“Well, recently, he has been teaching some young hunters to scout;rhaps that was who you saw?” She blinked,
I shook my head. “I did see someone; I just wanted to be sure of whit I saw. Was that scout Your Silver or a young hunter?”–
“A hunter!” she replied immediately. “A hunter had been trained in that position. Hope no problems?”
“None.” I replied.
There was silence.
“Um… about a girl named Jean,” Ralph started.
“She accepted the young man’s rejection. Your Silver had banned us warriors from engaging on that topic,” Dara said sternly.
“Accepted his rejection? He said she rejected him,” Ralpht corrected.
“Yes, but after he told her to get away from him and called her a killer. It’s a mutual agreement.” Dara smirked.
I remembered the palm reader saying something similar. It seemed Dan had regretted his words afterward, but it was too late.
“The young warrior? Can we meet her? She wasn’t forced to reject him, was she?” I inquired.
“No, she wasn’t,” Dara deadpanned. She stared into space for a while probably mind–linking, and soon a blonde girl came walking
to us.
She frowned. “I rejected him of my own will. Your Silver wasn’t even aware I did.”
She had a strong voice. And was their abode so close that she came within seconds of being called? I sighed; Dan would have to
suffer.
