Chapter Hundred and Sixteen – Remedy.Jaden’s POV My mother had always been a wolfess who wanted all the good things the world could offer. The world had also been at her beck and call since she was the next Alpha. She was loved and admired but not free. Well, no Alpha was. It became, I’d say, worse for her after she gave birthed me then married my father months later. I never knew why they didn’t do it before, perhaps the delay was her attempt to keep on being free. But she lost all access to freedom after being Alpha, duty only remained for her. Now she was retired and was fulfilling her dreams, I couldn’t call her back to duty. That’d be cruel. “Alpha!” Ralph banged the table, snapping me from my thoughts. I made a little pout. “I don’t want to bother my mom. Should she come back now?” Ralph shrugged. “It’s been long we’ve seen her, so yeah, she should. It’s a year already. Doesn’t she miss her kids?” My mother wasn’t like that, she knew we weren’t babies. I smiled, reme
Chapter Hundred and Seventeen – Visit to heal.Rihanna’s POV Beatrice had read Ray’s letter sixty-two times, since morning, to provoke a reaction from me. The only reaction I could give was laughter, which might not sit well with her as the letter was a pitiful one. Or was it? Chris got blind saving hostages. Ray specially added in my letter that it was a warrior and his mate, Cara. I cared little about her. But Chris would have protected Ray from harm as my brother would chase after Logan to save his mate. I was grateful for that. “Black Rose had been directed to find a remedy so he’d be better.” Dara grunted, sick of how many times Beatrice had read the letter. Beatrice glared at her but dropped the letter, facing me. “We didn’t have any specific instructions but we are supposed to visit.” Visit? And why? I bet my expression did the asking as she replied. “You’re under him! Blue Fire recovers from the attack. Blue Bloom mourns their princess. Black Rose was sent to find a r
Chapter Hundred and Eighteen – No strength.Rihanna’s POVHonestly, I didn’t have the strength to kill Logan but he shouldn’t know that.Jaden’s wolf had tired me out, my sides still hurt like hell, and the run I just had wearied me. And Logan wouldn’t let me kill him without a fight, it was the fight I didn’t have strength for. I let go of him. “Props to whoever did that to your neck. Chris?” He turned to me, and rolled his eyes. “Yes.” Looking at him, being calm and not bloodthirsty, and in human form, he had the same gentleness like when I met him first. His hair was arranged, his green eyes looked quite attractive and It was like whatever demon that possessed him wasn’t in control. “I could kill you.” I said when it seemed I stared too long. He smirked. “Same. But we both don’t have the strength to.” He knew I couldn’t kill him? “I will next time we meet!” I blurted, annoyed at my own weakness. “Same again. And I’m glad you understand that you’re not invincible, just real
Chapter Hundred and Nineteen – Poison?Rihanna’s POVThe gate at the Black Hills border opened. Their lead warrior, Cara and Delta Edwin walked out.“And why not?” it was Cara. “Why’s returning not an option? Do my warriors insult you, well, they learn from yours!” she mocked. I cocked my head. “Oh, I wasn’t aware your warriors were learning from mine. Well, they forgot a lesson mine got, don’t mess with me.” That was the first lesson of each class, how’d they miss it? “Please, didn’t your Delta mess with my Alpha? That insult spread like wildfire.” Edwin retorted. Yeah, I heard. Even Logan knew. I rolled my eyes and glanced at Camilla, she had a proud grin. I jumped down my horse, my Delta did the same. “Are you guys not letting us in or should we let ourselves in?” Cara advanced to me but Camilla blocked her. Edwin came before Camilla too. “So are we finally having a Deltas duel? Last time, your lead warrior shied away from a duel with my lead warrior.” I clapped. Edwin sp
Chapter Hundred and Twenty – They hate you.Chris’s POV So this was the point of view of a blind man? It sucked. I felt for energy around me and had to touch everything. I felt really glad that the covering in my eyes were wearing off. It was weird that it was thanks to Your Silver. Her visit and gifting of the cure were strange. And what was stranger was it happened on the day, the fourth anniversary of Sasha and I. At such anniversaries, I thought of how much of a bad decision Sasha was. This one was different because she was pregnant. But Your Silver coming to me with kindness was hard to ignore. “Don’t even think about treating Sasha wrong because of your ex-mate! Sasha holds our child!” My wolf scolded. The fact that he was completely over his former mate since Sasha became pregnant was funny. I put myself to sleep, after much thinking and rolling about on the bed. Tomorrow would be a good day. I’d be able to see again.~~ The next day, as my eyes opened, they saw color
Chapter Hundred and Twenty-One – Marriage.Chris’s POVMy father didn’t confirm. He wasn’t quite sure. But the chances of Logan being the Lycan the Black Rose Alpha once fought was real. She had always taken wars on her own and that’s why she never succeeded. Like how Your Silver had been but she knew better now. If the Black Rose Alpha had been more open, maybe Logan would never have existed now. What did he want then? What did he want now? No one was yet aware. He hated me, feared the Silver Wolf and raided all packs. But why? It was more than just the derangement to see us unhappy. There’s other satisfaction he needed. My father cleared his throat, alerting me of his presence. “I didn’t speak of the Lycan to make you worry. Just to alert you.” “I am worrying already. If this Lycan was Logan then Logan has a big issue with us. But why’s he not facing Black Rose?” If he had a problem with their former Alpha, why wasn’t he challenging them much? He had barely raided there. No
Chapter Hundred and Twenty-Two – Rude Old Man.Jaden’s POV It’s either my mother’s journal was written when she was sleepy or the farm had been cleared. Ralph sighed tiredly, pacing around. “The address led us to a building. It was supposed to be a farm!” he grunted. I shared his frustration but I couldn’t help but think he somehow blamed me for it. Perhaps because I wanted to be the one to direct us. I shoved the journal on his face. “If you see any other direction on the book, do tell me.” He took the journal with a small smile and felt around it. “This book is almost fifty years old.” Was that what he should be checking? I cleared my throat and he opened the pages, squinting his eyes to see the tiny letters. “The farm should be right here though.” I snatched the book from him. “Exactly! And since it isn’t, there are chances it was cleared by the owner of that house.” He looked up at the building and his eyes enlarged. “Yes, yes, they may have cleared the farm to build a ho
Chapter Hundred and Twenty-Three – She’s happy.Jaden’s POVWe spent three hours on the boat getting back. I would never retake that journey. Ralph was on my shoulders as we came down. He became seasick by the second trip. “Come on, we still need to buy the cure at Boots and Rivers market.” I told him. He staggered and rested on a tree. “Go! I’d come later!” he yelled angrily. I broke into laughter as I walked away from him, heading towards the market. Having no idea what the cure looked like, I asked the older women around. To show appreciation, I bought whatever they sold, it was mainly food items. Many didn’t know it except a young lady, she sold charms so knew the cure shop. “You mean you have a charm that causes blindness?” my brows raised. She sneered. “Yeah?” Was that healthy? But then the market was home to anyone, no matter what they sold. “Have you gotten a customer that resembles, let’s say, a Lycan?” I whispered. She rolled her eyes. “How’d I know? With her en
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
