Don't Run! My Adopted Mate

Chapter 7 Better teach her

Cara who was used to saying what was on her mind and how she felt about an issue didn't know that she had humiliated every member of the RavenMoon Clan. She just said it the way she saw it to be the truth.

" I did not mean to insult anyone but to say my views concerning the issues before us," She explained herself, she was not someone who bows easily to threats.

" We have rules here that should be followed," Davis spoke angrily.

" She is new here, you need to be patient with her," Kayden pleads with Davis for understanding.

" Better teach her our ways, I can not tolerate this insolence again," Davis threatens.

" Why did you not explain to me before we embark on the journey to your kingdom, I would have prepared enough money for this crisis," She was worried that she didn't bring enough dowry, how can that help to secure the strength of the warrior when there are no weapons and food supply.

" You did not give me room for any explanation, remember," Kayden said to her, their meeting did not start on a good note.

" How are we going to make these things available now, I only have a few pieces of jewelry with me for this journey, they are not much but they can also help to solve some urgent problem." Since she only brought jewelry, it needs to be sold off, so they could buy the weapons and supplies needed by the army.

Hearing her say this made Davis forget about her disrespect and wanted to know if they could sell off the jewelry for the weapons and food supply.

" Are you saying you are willing to sell off your jewelry to help our Kingdom?" Davis asked surprised that Cara was as generous to want to sell off her jewelry to help save the pack.

" Of course, I need to help my husband as a good wife should do, moreover those pieces of jewelry are just little compared to the one in my house," She scoffed, she wonder if it was wrong to help one's husband in time of need.

" Loe, go immediately and bring the jeweler here, let's know how much her jewelry would cost," Davis immediately ordered his beta to go to the jeweler and asked him to come.

Cara stop the Beta, " All the arrangement for the sale has been made, the jeweler would soon be here to examine the pieces of jewelry, so just be patient," Her father had already arranged everything before they got to Ravenmoon's pack so that her daughter would be adequately taken care of when he heard she insisted on going with her husband. He knew there was no food and their warriors had no weapon to defend themselves so in order to safely guide his daughter he sent some extra jewelry to her and made sure to send a jeweler who was going to convert it to the current currency in circulation.

" Oh! That is a good thing," The elders said, it made them respect Cara the more.

" When should we be expecting him?" Davis asked, he was eager to get the weapons and food supply to stop his Uncle from further attacking them

" Thank you for supporting my people," Kayden said, he has started realizing he made a good decision for accepting the marriage proposal.

" He should be here soon, and you do not need to thank me, it is my duty and I must perform my duties as your wife and I hope you do the same too," All these she said so that Kayden can have a change of heart and show her love.

Everyone present in the room was very happy that the problem of food shortage and weapons would soon be over.

As they were still trying to digest what was happening, the jewelers came in.

Cara went into the room to bring her jewelry so they can start the negotiations, when she returned to the throne room and showed her jewelry to the jeweler they were stunned by what they saw. They had never seen so many top-level jewels and the most expensive in the world, even the ones in the museums can not be compared to them.

" My Lord these pieces of jewels, do not value much, they are of low quality and we can not more than ten million for everything you have here," They thought that Cara, Kayden, and others had no idea how valuable the price of the jewels was, so they intend to play tricks and lower the price.

"Are the jewels worth this much, that will help us in so many ways, can we....,"

Just when Loe the pack Beta was about to agree to the price, Hazel stopped him.

" Hold on and leave this to me," Cara said, rolled her eyes, and closed her dowry box, making Davis and Kayden feel embarrassed.

" Cara, you are not helping us again? Why are you putting the jewel away?" Kayden asked afraid that she has changed her mind and that this will make him lose the respect his people had for him, could not make out why she is acting up now.

" You can't go back on your words now, remember everyone heard you say, you will help us out, so what is the meaning of this?" Davis said he was also afraid that if she refused there was nothing they can do about it.

Cara ignored everyone's attention and skillfully negotiated with the jewelers. She has dealt with jewelers before and knows that they like to cheat others and she was not going to give them that opportunity.

" What do you take me for? A novice?" She stared at the jeweler with a wicked smirk on her face.

" No, but the cost of this jewelry has been reduced in the market and can only be sold at the price we proposed," Jeweler continues to play innocent, they felt it will be easy to get away with their lies.

" Do you know whose daughter is standing before you?" She demanded of them.

The others wondered why Cara was driving at, with the way she was acting, they knew they needed the money and she was trying to create issues with the jeweler and they felt the jeweler might not want to buy from them again.

" But we are telling you the truth, that is the present price for these jewels,"

" Then it is better I send someone to my father that the jewelers he sent over are thieves who want to swaddle the Ravenmoon pack, if you are still interested in buying the jewels, I am going to collect four times the amount you mentioned as p*****t for the jewels or there is no deal and we look for another jeweler who is willing to pay the right amount for this Jewel," She quadrupled the price and threatened the jewelers to buy them all.

" Princess, we know our mistake now, we have reexamined the jewels, and they are very valuable, we did not check very well the first time we checked and we have seen it is more valuable, we will pay the amount of money you want to sell them."

Hearing Cara's words, the jewelers shivered and sweat broke out on their foreheads. Pirate King, the alpha of the Snowwhite moon pack, Cara's father, controlled all the marine transportation. If they dare offend Cara, they knew they would go bankrupt in one month because of how influential her father was. Therefore, the jewelers had no choice but to accept the price that Cara offered.

" Now, that is better, it wasn't difficult to do after all," She said and averted her eyes to Davis and Kayden. " I don't go back on my word, they are like laws that do not change, I think this money would go a long way to get the necessary supplies needed," She decided to give them half the money which was more than what they initially needed.

" Thank, you so very much," Everyone started thanking her, they now started changing their opinions of her. She was indeed knowledgeable when it comes to business.

Cara happily discussed with Kayden how they can use the remaining money when they left the room and no one was listening to them.

" Do you know we have a lot of money remaining from the sale, this can help us get a bigger house and furnish it too, what do you think?" She said to Kayden that they could change to a bigger house.

But Kayden did buy her ideas because he felt they could still use the remaining balance to help the pack in other ways, " let's not get ahead of ourselves, we don't need a bigger place, my room is big enough for both of us, we can use the remaining balance to help in another way in the pack," Kayden was not an extravagant person, so he saw it as a waste of money.

This made Cara feel angry. " This was not our agreement remember? You promise to do anything I said before we came down to your clan, so why are you going against me?" She queried.

" You don't expect me to obey all your request? Do you?" He asked her if he is a prince and can not allow a woman to rule his life.

" So, after all, I have done to help out your pack, this is how you want to pay me?" She questioned him, She thought all she had done was work hard for the two of them, and even helped his pack, but what did she get? A nonchalant ass?

"It's not that I don't appreciate all you have done, but you can not boss me around," Kayden insisted, he needs to stand his ground if he does not want her to control him all his life.

The strong self-esteem made Cara lose her head. She laughed at Kayden for being so lofty, so why would he sell himself to her? " Remember one thing, I own you, you are my property,"

" You don't own me," replied Kayden. An argument started between the two of them.
