Chapter Thirty-Two – He deserves better.Rihanna’s POV Lana seethed glaring at the direction Chris had gone through. I tried to calm her down, there was no need chasing after him. I’d only get myself exposed or injured but surely not killed. He had hesitation when handling me, I suspect I still had the scent of Black Hills. Dara mind linked to me if the warriors should return. I affirmed. “Today’s training should end. That Alpha has destroyed my mood.” Camilla, in her wolf form, crawled towards me. I was still facing the path Chris had ran through. What had made him leave his palace? “Tell me you know why he came this far?” I asked Camilla. “Information I got from the palace, was that the Alpha was chasing after Jake and the Delta. They were on their way home.” She said. Chase them? Did they have an argument? “Are they home then? Does Chris really don’t know the way to Black Rose that he came to us?” it was just pissing. I was just getting Lana to forget about avenging him a
Chapter Thirty-Three – Dared to attack.Rihanna’s POVIt’s totally valid that Delta Jonah rather die than be with Vanessa but that should only be by quotes, not actions.I followed behind him boldly, not caring about him seeing me, he didn’t know exactly where I came from and if he did, he wouldn’t tell. “So, what does this river do exactly? Remove memory?” he dropped his lantern on the river bank and I saw a bottle in his hands. “Oh, he was trying to get some of the river water?” I smiled. “Ahh, that makes more sense.” Another myth on the river was that one two lovers tried to drowning themselves because their parents didn’t approve of their love. They were saved but forgot about each other, it made both parents happy and people began taking the water to forget painful memories. “But the river had wolfsbane and silver? Is it safe to drink?” I wondered again, while watching Jonah scoop the river water into the bottle. Well, the person he’d likely give it to will be Vanessa to ma
Chapter Thirty-Four – She feared Karma.Chris POVWhen I returned to the palace, Ray was already with Vanessa. She had explained every of her suspicions and Ray had a doubtful look. Jake was his friend, he better have a good excuse for him. And hadn’t he wished Delta Jonah doesn’t find his mate here? What was wrong with that! “Alpha, are you okay? You left the palace without the guards?” he rushed to me. I shoved his hands away when he tried helping me to a seat. “I am okay, I’m not a baby!” It wasn’t like I was limping or anything, just breathing heavily from my encounter with Your Silver and his warriors. That was another problem on it’s own, one I’d like to handle personally. Ray took his hand back and looked down keeping a distance from me. I regretted my reaction. “I will handle the issue with Black Rose, My King. Rest assured, Princess.” He looked from me to Vanessa. He was being formal but whatever. “Handle it before it gets to my father, he wouldn’t take it likely.”
Chapter Thirty-Five – Owe him one.Jaden’s POVIt had been on my mind. The wolf I met, was she my mate? My wolf was very calm while at the forest but when I left, he had a longing. Beta Ralph walked into my room, with a scroll, reading through it. “Um… the prophecy says the silver wolf will protect us from an evil.” He looked at me and back at the scroll. “That’s all really.” He folded the scroll. “Why are you interested in it suddenly?” I wasn’t sure. The reason why Your Silver needed to be alive was because he was thought to be the silver wolf. If there was another young female silver wolf, then he need not be alive. He had messed with lots of packs and deserved to be punished. Ralph tapped me, peering into my eyes. “Could you share your thoughts, Alpha?” I smiled. Usually, I was always reminded to share what I thought because my wolf was my only thinking bud then. I cleared my throat, sitting up from the couch. “There’s another silver wolf, I think Your Silver should be capt
Chapter Thirty-Six – They were his target.Jaden’s POVThe issue with Alpha King Chris was not serious. Thanks to Ray who had Princess Vanessa on a hold. She expressed her unwillingness to live in Black Rose with her mate, her mother and father seemed to support it. So till she was willing, Jonah wasn’t entitled to accept her as his mate. For him to stay at Black Hills wasn’t even an option. I was thankful to Ray for calming the Alpha King and he forgave Jonah for being stubborn. My young Delta had always been stubborn. “Are you sure you really want to see Your Silver?” I saw him leave the royal stable dragging a haughty horse towards me. I looked at the poor creature. I didn’t need to horse ride to Your Silver but since it was a formal meeting, maybe I should. “Hmm. Let’s see him and thank him for his cooperation so far and maybe talk about the girl who’s Dan’s mate.” I replied. Dan was Beta Ralph’s brother-in-law who was rejected. I wasn’t sure if they was anything to be done
Chapter Thirty-Seven – Friendly with Dara.Jaden’s POV “She is with Your Silver at the moment, I’m sorry.” Dara, the lead warrior replied.“She is there to defend him in case of another attack, I doubt they will be any. We handled all so far.” “I am 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 will be a wasted effort to come all the way and not meet him, he was supposed to answer our questions.” Jake complained. “What questions? I have been with Your Silver since his first raid. I can answer them.” She hurriedly said. A warrior wearing the same uniform with her, sped towards us and knelt before her. “Dara, there’s an issue, Your Silver is…” the warrior stopped speaking, on seeing us. “What happened to Your Silver?” Jonah asked, oddly concerned. The warriors sighed, looking at Dara. “Are these the Black Rose leaders?”Da
Chapter Thirty-Eight – What scout?Rihanna’s POVThat was close. We had just been ambushed by more Red Moon warriors when I felt the energy of four powerful wolfs. I wanted to shift and get ready to handle it but two of the four's energy felt very familiar. Jonah’s and the Beta’s. It was at that point I remembered Camilla told me the Alpha of Black Rose was paying Your Silver a visit. It was expedient I dodge and make Dara tell a horrendous lie.I even sent a warrior to claim I fought with ‘my second’ so the Alpha won’t think of waiting for me. I was far away from him so he wouldn’t even catch my scent but I could see him. Like Jake, he was really handsome but with a blank face. There was no way to tell if he bought the lie Dara gave, but it seemed he did as he didn’t ask questions regarding Your Silver. It was quite funny how, in a bid to hide my identity, I became my second in command and the ‘female silver wolf’. I hated it. “Should we keep it on now we have told Black Rose
Chapter Thirty-Nine – Accepted Only Now.Chris POVYour Silver owes me one! Ray knelt below me, heads down. I’ve never felt so much rage against him! How could he be late to save Beta Gaius!! Sasha held unto my balled fists and I pushed her away, she rolled to the ground where Ray was but he didn’t say a word. “Chris! Stop! It isn’t Ray’s or Sasha’s fault Beta Gaius died. It serves him right, actually. Didn’t he escape prison?” Vanessa barked at me. She didn’t understand, none of them did. Your Silver was the real enemy here not me. “Beta Ray, you are sure you didn’t meet that silver wolf. We really need to clip his wings now!” I barked. “Your Silver only defended himself. Beta Gaius must have attacked him first.” Ray replied. My Delta sighed. “Are you siding with a rogue who killed a Beta of an ally pack?” he glared at Ray. When Ray met his gaze he looked down. “And you didn’t meet Your Silver? None of you did?” I pointed at the warrior besides Ray, she looked down but said n
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
