Chapter Eighteen – Under the sun.Chris POVSo this was what a day under the sun felt like. I felt my insides being fried as I stood waiting for Jaden to finish picking which hairpin to buy. Did he have a mate? Why did he even need a hairpin? We hadn’t really got into personal talks as he always found a way to excuse himself. I went closer to him and the seller. “The pink one is pretty, get that one.” I didn’t care if it was. I needed to get out of the sun. He picked it and smiled at me. “You have the best taste, Alpha King.” I smiled smugly. He had a way with words that impressed me but creeped me out to some level. It had been three hours away from my palace. He returned to me dangling three hair pins. “Pretty? I bought this one for your mate, I hadn’t brought a gift coming. She’d like it?” I gazed at the pin sternly, reaching out to it slowly. He let it go, not before hesitating. This can’t be given to my mate, she was dead. For the last three years, I saw the difference bet
Chapter Nineteen – Red Moon dares us!Rihanna’s POVDara was injured. I rushed past the girls and checked for her energy core. She was still very much alive. The Delta was unconscious on the ground. I felt his energy core and he was dying. Red Moon really had guts. To attack a Delta so openly. I found the sword sheath in the hands of Camilla and she had an injured arm. “Red Moon dares us! The Delta will stay here till gets better, inform Black Rose, they’d join this fight!” I ordered my warriors and they dispersed. I was left alone with a doctor and Camilla, Dara was resting on on her thighs. The doctor finished with the Delta and shifted to her. “Will he survive? Black Rose will misunderstand if after I kidnap him, he dies.” I asked the doctor. He shrugged. “He’d live but you better send him back, as you send word to Black Rose. To avoid trouble.” My shoulder slumped but I nodded. He would tell his Alpha what happened and Red Moon would be handled.That’s if they don’t push th
Chapter Twenty – Psychic Beta.Rihanna’s POVJonah immediately came in front of him. “Let her go. Do you want Your Silver attacking our pack?But he was brushed away by Jake. “Well, hadn’t he already? Where’s our hunters?” he asked him. Jonah snapped his head at me and I widened my eyes in realization. I had agreed to let the hunters go if Jonah told me what Red Moon was up to. He cooperated but the hunters were yet to be freed. It’s not like I didn’t want to free them, I forgot.Jonah, dejectedly, stepped back and let Jake handle it. Some warriors helped him return back to the pack. I sighed and answered. “The hunters will be sent back immediately, except one, we still need him I’m handling Red Moon.” I was referring to the lead hunter.He knew I was the actual Your Silver, I didn’t want him spoiling the fun yet. “No, all will be released and only then will you be released.” Jake Justin shifted from the sun. “It’s either them or you, let Your Silver decide.” I stared at his gre
Chapter Twenty-One – Two Silver Wolfs.Jaden’s POVI swiped through the pages of the record book. Many accomplishments of Red Moon were written there, accomplishments they didn’t deserve. Single-handedly building a great wall around the five packs to symbolize we are one. That was their project when Chris became King. But the fact was Red Moon raided smaller packs and made their men build it instead. All the names in the documents belonged to Omegas. Every wolf knew that omegas couldn’t do such work and it should be done by warriors of the pack, as it was royal duty also. I swiped to another page and found that crops were sent to Blue Fire pack but in reality, only about Sixty-Five percent had gotten to them. Red Moon had taken the other thirty-five for reasons best known to them. Blue Fire wasn’t aware, this will surely cause chaos when revealed. Many more records Red Moon falsified, like the price of the golden staff used to bury the Alpha King’s grandfather years ago. All fa
Chapter Twenty-Two – Tension.Chris's POV“My Alpha!” Sasha ran to me as I was seated on the ground, flipping through books. I rolled my eyes so hard I felt them stuck behind my head for a second. “My Alpha, you have guests.” She said as she came to where I was. “Who?” I asked, not raising my head from the books I was looking at. “Beta Gaius from Red Moon pack, he said he had an offer concerning the Silver wolf. He got an order that you….” “I will come to see him!” I barked, shutting her up. “I will come to see him then hear what he says. Don’t speak for him.” She went back slowly, looking dejectedly. I knew she had only been working harder, acting like a maid and informing me of visits because of preparations of Jaden’s staying being missed. “Leave my room now!” I pointed outside the door. She went past the door but stayed outside. I glared at her. “I meant get out.” “You should see your guest. I’d like to be in MY room as you leave.” she replied, with a hidden eye roll. Her
Chapter Twenty-Three – Unfair Trade.Chris’s POV “Beta Gaius, I don’t really know what you want me to do this information.” I said honestly. His shoulders slumped as he took few steps back. “As I said, my King, trade the Lycan with the silver wolf. That wolf owe my pack.” “A Lycan is better killed than ‘petted’, if that was what you wanted. And it is an old Lycan, not worth a silver wolf?” I argued, with finality. “But my King…” “There’s nothing like an old Lycan, my King!” someone said, while walking into the court room. The guards bowed at him, so I knew it was my Beta Raymond, I left my throne and walked down to him.I saw Beta Gaius’s piercing gaze on him but when I frowned, he looked down. “Ray! How’s your father and mother doing downriver?” I enveloped him in a hug.He hugged me back, something he only started to do last month. A smile was on his face as well, it turned to a frown on seeing the portrait. That was the only reaction a sane wolf would give to the presence o
Chapter Twenty-Four – Prepare again.Chris POVBeta Gaius glanced from me to Jake and then at Ray, “What allegations? What have I been accused with?” I threw the scroll on his feet so he could have a look. He hurriedly picked it up and his eyes widened while reading each line. He fell to his knees. “You had a spy in our pack, didn’t you, Jake?!” he snapped his head at Jake. “That’s a poor way to deflect an accusation, Gaius.” Ray smirked. “It seems you are guilty. And yes, Black Rose have spies everywhere.” Jake nodded, proudly. “Our specialty.” My forehead creased. Shouldn’t Ray be alarmed that Black Rose had a spy in each pack? He seemed rather chill with it. I should be as well, it’s not like I had anything to hide. “Very well, guards!” Two guards ran into the hall, and saluted.Ray hurried in front of me. “My King, I think we should settle the matter of the Lycan before throwing Gaius to prison!” Gaius glared at him. I never planned to throw Gaius in prison but out of my
Chapter Twenty-Five – My story.Rihanna’s POV The hunters of Black Rose were ready to go. Dara came out of the prison were the lead hunter had been and nodded to me. “It’s been done.” I smiled, walking towards the hunters. They shuddered in fear and it only added to my pride. “Your Silver releases you.” It was important to act like a second person as they’d likely report to their Alpha. They exhaled in relief, knowing they weren’t brought out to die. Their lead hunter was dragged out to meet them, looking drunk and speaking gibberish. Dara smiled as he came out. That was her duty, intoxicating him with drugs and miniature amounts of wolfsbane so what he'd say will be seen as a joke, including Your Silver being a female. I hoped Black Rose Alpha would fall for it. The last thing I needed was another Alpha, other than Red Moon’s Alpha, wanting me dead. Since Red Moon had a Lycan they wanted to exchange with me, in no time they could convince Chris to accept, I’d be severely wante
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
