Chapter Hundred and Fifty-Six – Worried.Jaden’s POV What was Ralph doing to me? To his mate? To everyone at Black Rose? Why did he disappear like that! Jake rushed into my room to inform me the letter to Black Hills had been sent. “You mean the letter you falsified under my name? How would they help if Ralph is missing?” I sighed. They were all the way at Black Hills and my Beta went missing around Silver Pack. What could they do to help? Jake shrugged, wearing the pouty expression he had had since Ralph’s mate reported to us. She had looked more angry than worried. I tried to stay calm since Ralph had told a Silver Pack warrior what to say to me. My only hesitation was that he didn’t say where or how long he’d be gone. “Jake, sit!” I told my brother. He had been pacing around but was now kicking things. “Do you think it’s Logan?” he asked for the hundredth time. Logan has no business with my Beta, he had with me. And he had never openly attack us, unless he planned to now
Chapter Hundred and Fifty-Seven – Protect my family.Jaden’s POV“Well, recently there was a ship from Sun Burn Kingdom that dropped a young prince here.” The girl said. Sun Burn Kingdom? Young prince? “He'd been to the market many times and didn’t trouble anyone. But they think he’s guilty as the disappearances only started when he came.” A Prince from Sun Burn Kingdom? Liam would surely know about the man, except I didn’t know how to find Liam.“Thank you.” I took out some money and handed to her. “Do you have pain relieving drugs?” She ran inside the stall to get them. I glanced around the market, the emptiness was becoming more noticeable. What would this Prince want with market sellers and my Beta? That’s if it was this Prince doing this. I have reasons to believe it’s Logan. No Sun Burn Prince would openly declare war against us by this nonsense! And travelling past the seven seas just to kidnap people? Stupid. The small lady came back, holding up two bottles, she stared
Chapter Hundred and Fifty-Eight – Travelling.Rihanna’s POV My bags were set to go on this impossible mission. I was leaving with no one by my side. I was excited but worried, in case trouble was to strike and I wouldn’t be around. But so far, Logan had not done anything worth being alarmed. I made sure by checking the letters again. As I walked out of the main house, Beatrice was standing outside with Hunter by her side. I winked at the boy and he smiled. “So, I’m off! Take care of my future Beta and the pack!” I grinned at Beatrice. She took a step to the side, nodding. “I believe you know what you’re doing.” She rubbed Hunter’s head and added. “We’ll be fine. I’d be looking forward to seeing you back with a Lycan to kick Logan’s butt for good.” I saluted, walking off. I went into Hunter’s mind link. “You’d be president of the newly shifted pups! Make sure nothing goes wrong, okay?” “Yes Alpha!” he replied in mind link with a giggle. “Nothing will go wrong.” When I was far
Chapter Hundred and Fifty-Nine – Insensitive.Rihanna’s POV It’s either the gold and yellow everywhere was making my eyes turn or the whole market looked the same. I bet I’ve circled one place twelve times! Taking a new route, which was quite lonely, I burst out at a knife shop. Basically anything weapon was sold here. The black market? Could I find a Lycan hunter here?“A silver wolf?” a man gasped, catching my attention. I turned to him with a smile but it faded as I realized he was also a Lycan. Lycans easily noticed Silver Wolfs. “Are they more silver wolfs around here?” because he sounded like I was a rare thing to see. “Are you looking for a mentor?” he asked, flashing his palms. Isn’t it obvious that I’m an Alpha? Why’d I need that? “Not really, I am looking for Lycan hunters. Maybe the silver wolf could know?” The man frowned but it soon faded. He laughed heartily. “You have a rogue Lycan at your home? Then you’re in luck! I’m Lycan Hunter myself.” He was? I knew Lyc
Chapter Hundred and Sixty – Lycan Slayer.Rihanna’s POVThe charm seemed to have a weakening effect in me, as I dropped the sword on the floor. “Rihanna, this isn’t good!” Lana yelled. Like I couldn’t see it. I was losing will to fight back. “You are despicable! What do you want my energy for?” “What else? Long life. And power.” Was he Logan’s son too or what? “Truly, Lycans are evil at heart! It just takes the right amount of pressure to bring it out!” He frowned, standing upright, slowly hair began growing from his skin and his head got bigger. “It takes the right amount of pain too!” His voice shifted to growls at the end. Pain? If the death of his father was what made him a jerk then it wasn’t plausible. Pain could break you but could also make you, positively. He didn’t heal from the pain and sucked it into himself. “You don’t need to be sucking my power but sucking out the pain inside of you.” I moaned, holding my chest that was hurting. He held the charm closer to me.
Chapter Hundred and Sixty-One – His Change.Chris’s POVLogan had a dirty game up. And he wants everyone to play it with him. He had already signed up Jaden to play by holding his Beta. He signed up Red Moon by kidnapped three of their pack members who sold charms. I wonder who he was targeting next. Perhaps my sister should be at my pack to prevent me from overthinking. Ray rushed into the stable, looking pissed. “What now?” I jumped down from my horse. “I just heard that Rihanna took a pleasure trip to Sun Burn Kingdom.” He grunted. “What if Logan attacks her pack?” I blinked furiously before sighing. She could be reckless but I doubted it was a fun trip. Sun Burn Kingdom were our international allies and she knew, so she might have gone looking for a favor against Logan. Though it’d be better if her Alpha King had a little clue. Or her mate at least. Jaden had informed all the pack to be very careful and protect their borders jealously. Logan could hit from anywhere. “I
Chapter Hundred and Sixty-Two – An ally.Chris’s POV I stared at the exquisite swords and armor suits that Jake had prepared for Ray. For his birthday. My Beta would be plus one soon and I didn’t even have a clue. I was an embarrassment. Jaden took out yet another sword but placed it back again. He ran his hands through his hair, looking confused. “Well, I think that’s all. Jake had said the red for Ray. The pink for Rihanna. I don’t know why he thinks she’d like pink.” I nodded, wrapping the pile of gifts in the cloth and tying it closed. “Ray will get them. But where’s Jake? Ray might throw a party so he should gift these himself.” Jaden closed the cardboard where he picked the swords from. He stayed there for a while before replying me. “Jake left to search for Ralph.” Search for him? “Don’t we already know where Ralph is? With Logan?” He faced me. “True but we aren’t very sure he’s with Logan. Also, if they are any clues he left before being abducted, we’d find them.” If
Chapter Hundred and Sixty-Three – Reinforcement.Jaden’s POV Rihanna would have easily sensed past this. And I bet Logan knew she wasn’t around. Why had she gone out without telling me? “Since when where you entitled to know about her movements?” my wolf asked me. I frowned. It wasn’t about me but the Kingdom she was entitled to. “Just stop!” I told him. He has been very irritable since he heard Logan had Ralph. So irritable that our environment suffered as he emitted a gloom aura. Chris strolled towards the biggest molten rock and hit it down. “Maybe if we are noisy, we can get Logan coming to us instead.” He joked. I appreciated his little jokes that kept my mood better but they no longer helped. I steadied myself again and tried to reach past the silver no matter how energy draining it was. A sudden surge of energy hit me, giving me strength and I lost concentration. What’s that? Looking around me, there was no one but Chris and he wasn’t looking at me. But when I met his
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
