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 Hundred and Twelve – A duel?Rihanna’s POVLana was in control now, I made sure all my warriors were away from the training ground. I also made sure Jonah wasn’t close. This had been want Lana wanted for a while, to be the wild silver wolf again. Jaden was making a commendable proposition. “His wolf shouldn’t be underestimated. I had felt that wolf having raw emotions, especially sadism and desire.” Lana sighed. Why’s she intimidated? Her strong points were hate, she didn’t need to hate Jaden but could just hate the feeling of losing to him. “I’m just saying that Jaden’s wolf isn’t ordinary. He manipulated emotions and could transfer aggression and fear.” How’d she know that? “Wolfs can do that?” “Some wolfs. Jaden’s can.” Well, that wasn’t very comforting. I’d have to be wary of him transferring emotions to me. It’d be unfair to do so but I didn’t also plan to play fair. Strutting out of the changing room, I made small snarls to alert my presence. I sighted his wolf
Chapter Hundred and Thirteen – Freedom. Chris’s POV I wasn’t ashamed of myself, maybe I should be. Since my Luna returned, I’d gotten a constant share of sex from her, for past times and the fact her pregnancy would be a limitation soon. To be fair, I had been treating her better. My groin was slightly shaking from the recent sexcapade. I rolled on my back, and left bed. “Ray? Edwin?” I searched for them in mind link. None of them were close. I heard the door of the courtroom open and someone got in. Sasha rolled on her back, her pointed nipples visible and inviting. But I left the room. “Who’s there at this hour?” I could tell it was almost midnight already. Slamming the door opened, I met the gaze of my father, sitting on the Alpha King’s throne. I rubbed my temples. “It’s you.” “Yeah, I actually wanted to come earlier to see Sasha but I bet you’d tired her out already.” My eyebrows raised, he could tell we’ve been…? “Yeah, she’s tired.” I agreed, walking towards him an
Chapter Hundred and Fourteen – Save the hostages.Chris’s POVDrama everywhere. I had been trailing Ray while he was chasing Logan but he lost him. I didn’t blame him, he was emotionally involved and felt more fear than he could control.It was the same way I felt after my first mate died, it was worse as I also felt I caused it. Ray punched the trees angrily, releasing more curse words than I’ve heard him say all my life. I dragged him to me, in a hug. It wasn’t a consoling hug, he wasn’t losing his mate. It was more of a ‘stop being a drama queen and chill' kinda hug. As he stopped screaming, I could hear the environment more clearly. Surrounded by trees, mountains and a vast sea? Quite new. Since we’re around the sea, then we were at the north of Black Hills. Opposite direction to Red Moon and where I had seen Logan before. He had shifted dens. I wondered what he had in store for picking this destination. Maybe he was fleeing to another land soon. Hoping hard. There was a s
Chapter Hundred and Fifteen – Lacking.Jaden’s POV The sun light pierced into my eyes and drove out the sleep in them. I was in Black Rose. The smell of morning roses made me aware. But was I supposed to be here? My last memories were being at Silver pack with Rih. We were dueling, I can’t remember what she did that made me annoyed. I jumped from my bed. Why couldn’t I remember anything? That meant my wolf was in control. “What did you do?” I asked him sternly. “How did it go?” “I certainly didn’t win the duel.” He muttered. He didn’t? That was kinda embarrassing. After all his desire to battle a silver wolf, he didn’t win? “To be fair, she was my mate so I went easy on her, I think.” He defended. I chuckled, walking to cleanup, then I paused. “Wait, you think? You don’t know if you went easy on her?” “I don’t, okay? All I know is, Jonah brought you back here and a nurse came to check on you.” He sounded so frustrated. A nurse checked me? How badly was I beaten that a nurse
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
