Chapter Ninety-One – Won’t end well.Jaden’s POV “Whatever you are thinking, you better stop.” Someone said, behind me. It was the voice of my Beta, Ralph. He strolled in front of me with folded arms. “Whatever you are thinking, stop.” He repeated. He had that psychic look. Could he really see my wolf’s desire to hurt Chris? That was risky. Could Chris see it too? I glanced at him and he was confused by Ralph’s words. I exhaled.“Is that suggestion dangerous?” I queried my Beta, acting oblivious. He squinted his eyes at me. “You know what is.” Yes, my wolf. I nodded. “The Lycan, I get it.” Ralph rolled his eyes, seating down. “Alpha King, we should desist from chasing the Lycan for now. Where he’d hide will be hard to find.” Chris didn’t seem to have a problem with it, he never wanted to battle the Lycan. “Sure, let’s drop that.” My eyes were on Chris but went away when he met my gaze. My wolf should stop sending those glares, it was too susceptible. “And Alpha Jaden, thank
Chapter Ninety-Two – Scram.Rihanna’s POV It sucked. It really sucked that I had to go through paralysis and excruciating immobility to unlock Alpha mode. My body hadn’t recovered fully so I couldn’t run for long. Lana helped me control my speed and I halted miles from Black Rose. Camilla fell back, resting on a tree. I tried remembering everything I heard from her argument with Chris. “Girl, fighting Chris alone is risky.” “You told me to.” She replied, with a groan. He must have hurt her insides. I defended. “Not literally.” I did tell her he planned it but not for her to react. “C’mon, let’s walk. I’m not recovered yet.” I began walking back. Still resting on the tree, she slid down to the ground. Her hands were on her stomach, and her face was squeezed in pain. “I can’t. Go ahead.” Was she joking? How badly was she hit? She hissed in pain, clutching tightly to her sides. I stooped to her. Using wolf vision, I checked if there were broken bones and sure as hell, there wer
Chapter Ninety-Three – She did it. Rihanna’s POV Cara glared at her and only an annoying smirk rested on Dara’s face. This would be fun. Jean jumped before Dara. “Leave us Cara. Our Alpha is back, your services are no longer needed.” “They never were.” Dara came in front of Jean pushing her back. “My warriors and I were more than capable to defend our pack.” “If you were, my Alpha wouldn’t have bothered sending me, now would he?” Cara smirked. She shouldn’t underestimate my warriors or compare them to hers. These girls had been rogues so had good survival skills. “I wouldn’t dare compare myself with you.” Dara snickered. Cara didn’t know if it was compliment or mock. “You better not!” “Yeah.” Dara shrugged. “After all, it’s not like you are good at protecting you borders. Anyone could sneak into Black Hills if they liked.” Jean snapped her head at Dara. Wasn’t she spilling tea about the secret hidden paths we used to enter Black Hills? “What do you mean?” Cara frowned. “No
Chapter Ninety-Four – Still useful.Chris’s POV Your Silver was quick to judge. She’s impulsive, excessive, any adjective to imply impatient. Like three years ago, I was torn about rejecting my mate even while the words left my mouth. And probably, I'd have taken them back before the day ended and we’d be together now. But she was quick to fake her death and leave. I accept that the events of three years were my fault, and mother’s, but things could have ended differently if she wasn’t so impulsive! But they happened, and even if I’d like to say I recovered, I never did fully. My wolf neither. And it looked like we’d never be forgiven. However, Your Silver never changed from being so impulsive and quick to conclude. Concluding I planned with Logan, who harmed my Beta and warriors, kidnapped a princess, and asked for my life, to kill her was insane. Belittling me before my subjects was offending and making me look like a lying and ego driven wolf was painful. Also her rage was
Chapter Ninety-Five – Who is it?Chris’s POV Did Your Silver get her mate already? The supposed replacement on my throne? Who was it?! I couldn’t let this happen? Was I about to be replaced? Ray switched off his mind link before I could ask him who the lucky man was. He ended with “Okay.” I was restless but stayed calm as I kmew he was already heading here. “But what would I even do when I know her mate?” I wondered out loud. Was it to go on with my mother’s plan? Black Hills had been a kingdom pack since my grandfather, why should that change now? But it was a prophecy, could I stop it? “Am I to let it play on?” I wondered out loud again. My wolf, Zeke, came closer to the surface as I sat on the throne. “What should we do?” I asked him. “Play on, maybe. We defiled the moon goddess before. If this new Alpha King was worthy of the position, then we’d go along with it.” Zeke noted. Was that how’d it be? I did get a chance but does that mean I’d lose out. For that one mistake?
Chapter Ninety-Six – Wolf trouble.Jaden’s POV That scene replayed in my head many times. Maybe it was my wolf’s obsession with it or because it was iconic like a resurrection from the dead. Rihanna, in her Alpha Fury, challenging Chris. Chris really was patient, I think. He was in many ways Alpha King material. I couldn’t believe I was next to that throne. My wolf sneered at me. “Your mothers had been Alpha Queens at their times and you are scared of having the title again?” my wolf sneered. I didn’t need his opinion in this matter. I folded the scroll that I just received from Black Hills. It was about finding Sasha. And Chris was specific about suspecting a Silver Wolf warrior. Their Alpha would surely not let him touch that warrior. If she could snap at him because he hurt her Delta then she was just as protective with her warriors. Rihanna’s scene replayed in my mind again so I shut my eyes for a while before opening them again. “You can’t stop thinking of your mate, Ja
Chapter Ninety-Seven – The boy.Jaden’s POV Stars came out, under me as I laid there, passed out, at the mercy of rogues and animals, tired out by my own wolf. A groan left my lips as I pushed myself up. The bruises were gone but there was still slight pain. I forced myself to leap to my feet. There was no energy I felt for miles away, just a subtle one. Probably from a low ranked wolf. I exhaled, tracking it. “One reason a lower rank wolf will have a subtle energy is if it was dying.” Or it was a child. I sighed, staring down at the small pup I met just by taking few steps. What’s he doing far away from wherever he was from? “Mister?” he called me with a pouty face. “Where am I?” My hands went to my hips. “Around Black Rose.” I looked around. “… I think. Who are you? What pack are you from?” He looked down, mumbling some words. I pointed ahead. “If you had kept coming, you’d have met some scary warriors that could shoot you down before knowing you are a kid.” His eyes dimme
Chapter Ninety-Eight – Breathe.Jaden’s POVHunter snapped his head at Jake. My hands fell from him. The border warriors were dead? We just passed by there now. What caused it? I attempted to run back and check, maybe chase whatever did that but Hunter held my arm. “Don’t go, that wolf is really scary. Don’t go!” What was he saying? Jake pulled him away from me. “Who are you? He’s an Alpha and has a duty to his people! Jaden, let’s go check it.” My brother tried coming with me but I held him back, still gazing at Hunter. The little boy’s jaw fell. “You are an Alpha? Well, that scary wolf chased my wolf from Silver Pack to here, he could kill you!” he begun crying. “You were chased by a scary wolf?” I asked, he hadn’t told me that part. He said he got lost! “Yes, I shifted and found myself outside my pack but not far away but then he begun chasing me, and I ran here.” Hunter sobbed. Why didn’t he hint on this when we talked? I could’ve handled it before now. And a scary wolf t
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
