Chapter Hundred and Twenty-Seven – Don’t hate her.Chris’s POVAfter Your Silver left, I left the courtroom through the other door and sped to Black Hills market. It was just my attempt to avoid a repeat of argument with Sasha and Vanessa. They were back to their old habit of coaxing me into making decisions that’d favor and punish who they’d like. It was usually the maids and I thought Vanessa had overgrown that and became more matured.Her best friend’s return brought everything back. I took of my royal garments amd turned them inside out. It was a darker shade of brown inside so I wore it on top, to assume a less recognizable appearance. Not many wolfs in Black Hills knew what I looked like. I could easily walk around and get some well deserved peace. “Till someone recognizes and throw stones at you.” Zeke scoffed. What had I done to him? Or to the wolfs who’d stone at me? “If you have nothing good to say, be silent.” “I will be, when you think properly on your own. Instea
Chapter Hundred and Twenty-Eight – What he seeks.Chris’s POV Leave the best for the last, they say. The last three rogues were hectic. Either about breaking Delta rank or heavily skilled warriors. I caught one of the leg and dragged my claws down to his ankle. He fell to the ground, then pulled himself away from me. The other two, tackled, head butted and gut punched but I dodged it all. I kicked the other and he fell on his partner. I was losing strength but I braced myself for another fight. They were getting up. “You should leave. I feel strong energy, Logan!” my wolf warned. I looked down at my hands wondering what to do when I realized I hadn’t used the grenades. The poisonous gas was a huge fail, nearly killed me. I picked two of grenades and ran to the door. As the two rogues chased me, I threw it on them and watched them blow up. Horrifying. Some grunts came from inside the cave, while Logan's energy grew stronger. Was I to run or finish my mission? “Run!” my wolf
Chapter Hundred and Twenty-Nine – Doesn’t like you.Jaden’s POVIt’s been three days and no attack from Logan.The Blue Bloom Alpha was married, Chris’s sight had been restored and Rihanna was fully healed from her last fight. Good news were everywhere and should put wolfs at peace, but a new found discovery gloomed down the joy that should be felt. Ever since I read Chris’s letter to all packs about Logan’s actual intentions, I lost my appetite. We were talking about an extinction of wolfs. That was what Logan had in mind for us. And he wanted to use the protector to do that. According to Red Moon, there was a way to achieve that. I wonder why the Silver Wolf’s energy couldn’t give her immortality but will give a Lycan when he’d steal it. It was the transfer of energy Logan suggested to Rihanna earlier. Acting like he needed energy to heal himself all along when it was to kill us. Rihanna confirmed that he confessed to never being sick but to use her to kill Chris. But it wa
Chapter Hundred and Thirty – To transfer energy.Jaden’s POV“Come in!” my eldest uncle yelled from inside. I pushed the door but it didn’t bulge, I knocked again. Was this a joke or what? I heard a chuckle from inside. “Be a man Jaden, push the door in!” that was from the youngest. What games were they playing with me now? “This is urgent, could you let me in or I’d leave!” “The door is right there, we aren’t holding it back. Push in and let yourself in!” the eldest said again. I went back, getting ready to kick the door open but my wolf stopped me. “There’s an energy behind the door.” Confirming that there was indeed an energy, I stopped myself. “But my uncle said they weren’t pushing it back.” I groaned. “They may not be. Where’s your middle uncle?” My eyes widened. That one hadn’t spoken to me yet, even if he rarely did. “What would be holding the door then if they weren’t the ones?” I sighed internally. My mind went back to a ‘prank' they played on me as a child that ma
Chapter Hundred and Thirty-One – Using fear.Rihanna’s POVThis Logan was making me lose my mind.Lounging at Beatrice, I hit her down. I stretched my hand to get her up. She leapt up.This training was helping me vent my anger.I kicked Beatrice again and she fell, but rolled before my heel squashed her down there.And I was venting out on Beatrice, poor girl. My eyes shone red and Lana took over, about to initiate a barrier to counter Beatrice’s incoming kick, but I stopped my wolf. Let it come. My Beta expected me to dodge it but I received it, staggering back. “Oh my goodness, sorry. You should have… I’m so sorry.” She apologized, checking on me. I smiled, amidst the pain. “It’s cool. I wanted it. The pain is a distraction from my thoughts.” She kept her hands on her waist, and I knew she was about to go mother mode. “And the training, right? You rather vent on me than the warriors.” “Come on, you know it’s better I do. They won’t understand me like you do.” I plopped down o
Chapter Hundred and Thirty-Two – Thorned Roses.Rihanna’s POVThe energy that came with being free had been starved from my veins for almost a week since Chris’s letter circulated. Good thing had happened, for one, Blue Bloom Alpha got married and actually invited me with a honorary introduction. I was glad to be at the wedding as I doubt I’d be at another. My brother was already married. However, I felt stiff and conscious there because of the direct threat over my life and Silver energy. Even Lana felt drained. But now, I was free again. And Logan would soon be the one suffocating. I was strolling happily along the forest when a distinct growl resonated around me. I halted then tried following it. It wasn’t intimidating like the ones I knew but a great energy came from it. My breathing hitched when I saw the bare back of a male in human form. What was all thus muscles for? My cheeks redden a bit till I caught the scent of the wolf. “Beta Ralph! I should kill you for coming
Chapter Hundred and Thirty-Three – Hilarious. Chris’s POVLogan’s silence was deafening. What was he waiting for before striking? Since he revealed his intentions, he should act accordingly but he had been quiet. It was scary. “Why not accept that the grenades killed him?” my wolf asked. I ignored him, still picking the food on my plate. There was no way that could kill him. I badly regret not turning back to know what happened. He’d be hurt but not dead. Surely Logan would need medicine for his wounds and with his rogues killed, he’d have to go himself. I made sure that warriors stationed around to alert me when he did but no one saw him. Instead they spoke of a little demon, like Edwin. Crazy lot. Was it fear making them hallucinate? I dropped the spoon on the plate and sat back. “Someone should take this away!” I ordered. The watery soup was making my thoughts swirl around, I needed some steadiness. I looked up to meet Sasha’s gaze. She darted her eyes to the maid leavin
Chapter Hundred and Thirty-Four – Who is it?Chris’s POVMy Luna found it hilarious that I was leaving to the cave Logan was because of a rumor of a small demon. I had a feeling I’d meet more than a small demon but not Logan. I didn’t feel I'd meet Logan. Along with me came Ray’s relative and other warriors that had been worried about a demon. I needed to show them that there was no demon so they need not fear. “Ray, don’t!” I stretched my hand to block him. Incase of casualties, he should stay behind. My Beta frowned, pushing my hand away but I brought it back up. “I said don’t come!” “But I’m curious to see the demon too.” He protested. “We’d catch it and bring it back, like we planned.” I said. “Yeah, only that the ‘We’ was you and I, not you and the warriors.” He folded his arm. I smiled at his sulky face. “Just stay, in case there’s something that needed my attention, stand in for me.” He knew that was an excuse to make him stay, he threw down his horse whip and stormed
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
