Chapter Hundred-Four – Burning place.Jaden’s POV Hunter patted my face, snapping me from my thoughts. I let go of him and he stood on his own. He still looked tired. “You don’t believe me, right?” “I did. Maybe that fifty years old man is mind linking to you. Do you know anyone?” I enquired. “I know what it is. Mom said soon she’d connect me to our pack’s mind link. I’d also talk to our Alpha.” He whispered the last part excitedly. I smiled but it was a fake. If he wasn’t yet connected to the pack’s mind link then whose voice was he hearing in his head? Why was his wolf acting selfishly and he couldn’t clearly remember what? “At the burning house I saw, there were screams, the fire burnt brick and mud. It was ugly.” He frowned. Mud and brick? The only place that had such combination was Red Moon. Did he go to Red Moon? I had to ask Ray about this. I carried him with me to climb the stairs, he rested on my shoulders as I did and I patted him. I wasn’t sure how Beatrice found
Chapter Hundred-Five – The plan. Rihanna’s POV They were so many deaths. I hardened my heart to it, I didn’t want Lana getting emotional and acting rash again. I stopped Beatrice from giving me the details of Logan’s attacks, she should bear the pain of the knowledge alone. “Where’s Dara and Camilla? We need to speak so we’d be able way to break this Lycan before he attacked again.” Beatrice spaced out then looked up at me. “They are on their way.” I walked towards the center table and plopped down. She sat besides me. “When Ray stopped by, he said Chris met Logan and he made him badly injured so he wouldn’t be coming out soon.” she informed. At that point Dara walked in on us. “Don’t hope on it, Bea. Our Alpha rough handled him last time, yet he healed within days.” I turned to her. “Yes, but I wasn’t an Alpha then. This time, his wounds won’t heal fast. And with Chris’s injuries, he’d have permanent scars.” Camilla walked on us as well, I noticed her arm that was still bro
Chapter Hundred-Six – Seriously?Rihanna’s POV All the birds had been sent. I left Beatrice’s side to look for Hunter but he had been put to sleep by Jaden, before he left. Their bond was quite quick. How did he not find Hunter’s chattering annoying? “You know he has a younger brother so he may be used to it already.” Lana chuckled. Please, I have a younger brother but we stopped being childish when we shifted cause that made us full wolfs and expectations arose. “Alpha!” Dara rushed to me, holding a report. Her face said it all. The report was a bad one. Seeing she was more scared then annoyed, then it wasn’t Logan. I leaned on the wall of Beatrice’s room, adjacent to Hunter’s. “What now?” “Chris is asking about the horsetail. He wants to know how the investigation is going.” Dara mumbled quickly. I snatched the report and scrutinized it. Was Chris really worrying about this girl while all the chaos was happening? “We should get over this. Have you prepared Sasha for return
Chapter Hundred-Seven – Lessened Rank.Chris’s POV Where the hell was Sasha! It was becoming the major problem in my life, even more troubling than Logan. She should be almost four months now. Was she going to deliver wherever she was at? Was she really dead? Couldn’t the moon goddess be merciful to my child at least? And Sasha wasn’t to blame for all my errors in the past. I’ve been paying for them, even my throne was about to be taken from me. Why me! The glass cup in my hands shattered to pieces, making me realize I was clenching my fingers around it. I threw it down and kicked it away. Everything was frustrating me. The door to the courtroom was knocked on and same time a guard poked their head in. “Alpha King, Beta Ray is here. You said to ask if….” “Yes, yes, let him in.” I replied hastily. The guard took his head back and the door was opened widely. Ray strolled in, holding two oranges. He threw one to me from the distance. I caught it on impulse. “Howdy!” he asked. W
Chapter Hundred-Eight – Heretics. Chris’s POV This wasn’t my first thing seeing a pregnant lady, but I had never known a pregnant lady before and after the pregnancy. When my mother was pregnant for Vanessa, I was still young so don’t have a good mental picture. Ray pulled me from the throne, and towards Sasha. “The Luna you had been crying for every night is back!” My hands went to my hips, utterly perplexed by what was before me. How did she just arrive? “Are you okay?” I asked. She eye rolled. “Do you mean okay in the head or okay health wise?” I was about retorting, “Both!” but I knew I should treat her better since we’d be sharing a child soon. “Health wise. Where’ve you been? And you’re pregnant?” I tried acting surprised. Ray gasped, like he hadn’t see it. “I thought you gained weight in the wrong places. You are really pregnant!” Sasha smirked, advancing towards us. “I heard you nearly burned the trees and dried the seas looking for me, and I wondered why.” Who the
Chapter Hundred-Nine – Investigation.Jaden’s POV My wolf and I hadn’t settled on whether we should be around Red Moon, we weren’t allies. I could be spotted as a trespasser if found. However, we were working together, according to Rih’s plan, to alert each other about Logan. The least they could do was ignore me if I strayed too close to them. I really needed to solve Hunter’s riddles, I felt greatly compelled to. As we passed by some trees, Zeke came closer to the surface. “Do you sense something?” He said nothing and retreated. I bent to check, it seemed something was buried underneath. I searched and found a rotting squirrel.Someone killed it, and buried it. Why not eat it? I covered it back and looked at the tree marks. They were unclear claw marks that belonged to a wolf. From that tree, I looked ahead and could clearly see Red Moon. Their walls were worn out but still stood strong. From there, I’d be able to see if they were on fire. And with the dead squirrel, I wond
Chapter Hundred and Ten – Weird kid.Jaden’s POV I stood at a distance, watching Rihanna’s reaction to the flowers Jonah presented to her. She was stunned at first, but took it and hit it on Jonah’s head. I felt glad seeing that but my happiness was short-lived. “Why go through the trouble? But thanks, I appreciate the gesture!” She gave a small hug. She liked it?! Jonah rolled his eyes, rubbing his head. “If you like it, then why did you hit me?” “Well, the flowers are still useless to me. Should I cook them or what?” Rihanna smirked. They walked inside her courtroom together and I felt forgotten for a minute. Well, I shouldn’t be surprised they were close. She and Jonah shared a secret for a while and he’s the first Black Rose member to not treat her like a rogue, Jake and Ralph were the opposites. I strolled around to find the apartment of Beatrice to meet with Hunter. I noticed the Silver Pack houses had unique designs. All the houses looked identical with only color di
Chapter Hundred and Eleven – Petty.Rihanna’s POV Lana was crazy. I tried to calm her down. Camilla stomped into the room I was changing in, holding a towel and a frown on her face. I slowly took the towel from her with a grin. “I’m sorry okay? It’s my wolf, she has been waiting for someone to snap neck and Jonah seemed available.” I tried to defend. She shook her head. “Last I remember, you taunted him on being scared of you and that pushed him to agree to the duel.” I nodded, looking down. I was trying my luck. “As a Delta, I know that fighting an Alpha takes a good toll on the Delta.” Camilla added. Realizing where she was coming from, I felt more remorseful. It was annoying being compared to Chris. My case was just needing someone to train with and not holding back, sadly, I’ve realized a Delta wasn’t the one. “And that Alpha is also a Silver Wolf. Really hope that you did not break anything of his.” Camilla sighed, walking away. My wolf was silent. “Don’t blame yourself
Chapter Two Hundred and Three – A wedding? (The End)Chris’s POV (A month later) The ink which I used to free Blue Bloom, Blue Fire and Silver Pack got stuck on my thumb. I don’t know if it would be infectious to a baby’s skin and I sure as hell wanted to hold him when he comes out. Those packs had been reallocated to Black Rose Kingdom, few days after their inauguration. I was free from them, it was time to focus on my own family. I would ask for nothing more. Vanessa sighted me, rushing to the room and held me back. “Wait, she’s still in labor!” What? I flung my hand in the air. “It’s been minutes already. Why isn’t she pushing…” “Shut up! She is trying!” Vanessa retorted. I calmed down, pacing around. “I don’t know why the boy doesn’t want to wait till my birthday so we’d celebrate together. It’s just two more days.” Vanessa muttered. I ignored her. I really needed my son out now. “Oh, did I tell you? I invited Rihanna and Jonah specially and they accepted. I thought Ri
Chapter Two Hundred and Two – Two Kings.Jaden’s POV Rihanna was in bed, I planted a kiss on her cheek before leaving the room. As I opened the doors I saw Beatrice and Dara, hands crossed staring at me. Did they see that? “Only if you tell me you guys are dating, will I not whoop your ass!” Dara pointed at me. They definitely saw that. “Even better, they are mates!” Chris said, walking to us. I smiled and brushed past Dara. Beatrice’s jaw dropped. “She didn’t tell us! Why didn’t she tell us! We should know this things!!” Dara’s fists clenched. “How dare she…” she stomped to the room but I jumped to stop her. Chris laughed, handing Beatrice a letter. “I drafted this now. Jaden, take the wheel, it’s all yours.” What was all mine? I successfully pushed Dara back and breathed a sigh of victory. Beatrice opened the letter and read it’s contents. “Wow. I will wait till my Alpha gets up before reacting to this.” I took the letter from her and viewed it. What? Chris was releasing
Chapter Two Hundred and One – Admit it.Jaden’s POV Logan exhaled, closing his eyes, “I wanted your energy for more than being immortal Rihanna.” Did he mean he needed her energy to remove his curse? He was being sketchy again. The Lycan glanced at Liam. “Deep down, I’d like the curse gone so I’d return to my family.” Liam blinked, looking down.“I believe the silver wolf energy can remove my curse, somehow.” Logan added. My face contorted to a scowl. “So she should let you absorb her energy?” Rihanna looked up at me with small pout. I knew she was unwilling, I was unwilling too. “Not necessarily.” Liam said. “Maybe she could use it to free him.” “Don’t forget I still don’t know how.” Rihanna cocked her head but it slowly straightened.“Yes, Red Moon! They'd know! If they can swap mates, they can speak to the moon goddess!” She yelped. But her excitement died down. “I don’t think I need them using sorcery on me though.” Liam’s hopeful expression faded. “So we are doomed? Gre
Chapter Two Hundred – The story.Rihanna’s POV Liam helped Logan sit up against a rock. The Lycan was healing but we still had time to get an answer then kill him for good. I still wasn’t sure how to remove the curse. Jaden noticed my hesitation. Liam was trying to wipe off the blood on Logan when Jaden held him. “Wait, Liam.” Jaden held his hand and pulled him up. “Before trying to get Logan to be alive, what’s the curse?” True. I needed to know what the curse was before ‘communing’ with the moon goddess. Liam pulled his hand away from Jaden’s, with a pout. “Well, this could be hard to hear.” I bet it wasn’t. Jaden had already heard the meanest of things this week. He had a straight face, glaring at Liam. “What?” “My mother said while Logan was Alpha King, he used to kidnap young female Lycans and use them for sex slaves.” Liam started. My body became cold. So his animalistic behaviors didn’t start now? “My mother added that then, her father hid her from him so she wouldn’
Chapter Hundred and Ninety-Nine – Tell the curse.Rihanna’s POV Awakening. It felt good. Lana had a distinct echo to her voice. And it was like she and I were both fighting Logan at the same time. I didn’t need to shift to wolf form to have her in control. Logan dodged Jaden’s blow and dashed to me. My right leg was before me and left leg behind. I awaited his contact. When he crashed on me, I went back but keeping my balance, holding his punch in place. My left leg came forward, sweeping Logan off his feet and my arms, used to block his punch, grabbed his neck and I tumbled him over. He grunted, having his back to the ground the fourth time in a row. The Lycan Slayer came sliding into his heart, by Jaden. He stabbed it deeply that it broke through the molten floor and was hooked there. A slap, with my clawed fingers, went through his face, reminding him not to try anything stupid. Jaden smirked. “Now, we’ve your undivided attention, do you care to explain your curse?” Bloo
Chapter Hundred and Ninety-Eight – His son.Chris’s POV How was I still alive? Logan had stabbed by stomach with his sword like claws and I fell on the ground with my back. I couldn’t move after that and only heard Jaden’s shouts. I wasn’t sure if he was yelling for me or his mate who Logan had tackled. My wolf healing must have really improved due to all those fights I have been having with Logan. The injuries on my sides burned but I felt the soothing relief washing over me as they healed. Energy drain waves were around me but I didn’t worry as no Lycan was close either.My mind replayed seeing Rihanna fall with her neck. There was no way she could have died despite that being a fatal position. And Jaden was weakened to a fault and I knew Logan would use that avenue to kill him.My legs were losing their sensory nerves as my energy left my body. I groaned, trying to move them. Before I went to challenge Logan, I told Lucius to watch me so it was just a matter of time before
Chapter Hundred and Ninety-Seven – Awakened.Jaden’s POV My heart was growing cold. I touched Rihanna’s face but I didn’t feel the sparks I usually do. What was happening? I slowly turned to Chris who was challenging Logan. He had good sword art and was mad at Logan. He must have seen what he did to Rihanna. I wanted to fight for my mate alongside him but my body felt involuntary. I lost all drive to do anything. If this was how it’d end then I could end as well. My father killed my Beta and my mate. Was they any use living like this? But at that moment, she moved.I was sure it wasn’t my eyes deceiving me. “Rihanna?” I called again. Using my wolf vision, I scanned her body and found that she was healing. I wanted to hug her in happiness. “Argghh!” Chris screamed and the Lycan Slayer fell before me. I snapped my head at him and he was at the mercy of Logan. “No!” I ran towards them but dust from the earth was thrown at me and when they settled, there was no Chris and no Log
Chapter Hundred and Ninety-Six – Hesitant.Jaden’s POVIt must have been Rihanna’s shout of pain that attracted Chris to come close to where we are. I noticed him but before I could warn him, he tripped over a charm laying about. Direct contact with the object made him lose his balance. Energy had been taken from his legs. “Argh! I can’t move!” he screamed. It temporarily paralyzed him? I had speculations of that happening. “Chris, hold on!” But Logan came before me and sent a punch my way. I dodged it by bending but my mate caught his hand and twisted it. I escaped to Chris. Rihanna dragged Logan’s hand behind him but he hit her with his head and she let go of him. Her legs went to his head but he blocked it and slapped her higher thighs. She backed away, holding her legs and wearing a scowl. That was a violation on her mate! A sexual harassment if I should say! I left Chris and charged back to him. With my sides, I pushed him towards a boulder and he broke into it. “Don’t
Chapter Hundred and Ninety-Five – Adapting.Rihanna’s POV Logan’s energy left the barn, I became alarmed. I read that they were still eight wolfs inside, the last one life’s hanging on a thread. “Jaden, we need to save the Blue Bloom Beta before he dies.” I reminded. A wave hit my barrier as I got closer. “Rih, the energy drain is active.” Jaden told me. I was ahead of him as my barrier was already active. He found the charm and smashed it on a rock, breaking it to pieces.I advanced to the barn and kicked it open. Since Logan wasn’t around, they were safe. I released my barrier and stretched my hand to the only female in the group. “I am Alpha Rihanna, I believe you’re the Luna?”She had a scared expression on her face and her hands shivered. Logan wasn’t around so why was she scared? Jaden carried the Beta and rushed out. He was safe and it made me feel better. The Luna took my stretched out hand, and stood from where she sat. The moment she did, I felt a insurmountable am
