Chapter Eighty – Another Wolf. Rihanna’s POV We were at the border of my pack. A slave, who was trying to deploy to my pack, was found, gullet and limbs out, it was disgusting. The claws marks on him belonged to the Lycan and he was pinned to the trees. That Lycan dared to hurt a werewolf. He was truly mad. Dara jumped down from the rock. “No sign of Lycan or Black Hills warriors. I believe we aren’t waiting for the latter, are we?” I smiled at her pouty face. “Having an extra hand isn’t too bad but I doubt Chris will let his warriors stop by here.” Dara smiled broadly. “Good, I don’t even want to see them. Apart from your brother, all of them could go to hell.” She jumped on the rock again. Camilla glanced at her momentarily before looking down again, she shifted her chess piece. Beatrice did the same. I exhaled, then inhaled the clear fresh air around the place. “Do you guys sometimes miss when we were free?” I closed my eyes savoring the moment. “When you could sneak
Chapter Eighty-One – Lose appetite.Jaden’s POV He was my mate’s brother, I had a weird urge to treat him better, to know him better. Ray thanked the servant, who served him with a smile, then helped his mate get a spoon. We were on the dining table. I glanced at Jake who was eating happily and then at Jonah who was staring at one of Ray’s warriors who was pretty. I rolled my eyes, returning to my meal. “If you’d tell, what is the result of the search for the Lycan?” Ralph asked, breaking the silence. “It was unsuccessful.” was only Ray’s reply. He was more interested in watching his mate eat than reporting on the search. Ralph smiled, understanding. I admired how Ray stared at her, like he was seeing her eat for the first time, love in his eyes and all. Could Rihanna be like that? Having utmost love and fascination for something related to me? My appetite was slowly leaving me. Jake looked up at me and my food, he nudged me as he was on my left. “Not hungry? Is it about the
Chapter Eighty-Two – Mutual dislike.Jaden’s POVI left Rihanna walk in first before I joined her, watching everyone’s reaction. Ray seemed to have realized she was around, perhaps the twin telepathy. He smiled before meeting her gaze. “Welcome, Alpha.” Jake laughed at the gesture. “Yeah, welcome to Black Rose, Alpha.” The warriors chorused pleasantries as she came close to the table, as deserved, she was an Alpha under their Kingdom. Cara had murmured a pleasantry as well. Rihanna smiled. “Yeah, I am glad you warriors found hospitability here. Silver Pack is a bit too dangerous for y’all.” There was very mockery laced on each word. Could she stop? Her brother was literally leading this team. But even Ray smirked at her words. “Yeah, it’s dangerous. And I bet we wouldn’t have been fed.” “Certainly.” She replied, then tilted her head to see Cara. “But it’d be nice to make some good relationships though.”I smiled internally, it was nice she was trying to make a good relationshi
Chapter Eighty-Three – Her Change.Chris’s POV Sasha was surely kidnapped. Her hand maiden had been missing as well. Today, Vanessa cared to ask about the maid and it was revealed. Could they have been in the same place? Sasha was last said to have gone out with her carriage. But she never returned with it. How had the carriage been returned if the rider wasn’t in it? Sorcery or someone else rode it? “Is there an entrance or path into Black Hill’s that I am not aware of?” I asked a guard who acme to drop reports. He passed, looked down, thinking then shook his head. “Not one I’m aware of, Alpha.” I nodded at the guard and he left. There had to be something. Rihanna had crashed in here that day, and it wasn’t through the front gate. She must have found a way. I shuffled through the remaining reports I had. They weren’t much as Red Moon was out of my kingdom. Blue Fire and Blue Bloom were conservative as they were productive. Black Rose never needed anything, only dropped compl
Chapter Eighty-Four – Hiding something.Chris’s POVThe scroll the female guard had was from Blue Bloom Alpha. He got a similar letter from Logan. And he was pleading I saved his sister. Quite selfish of him, or maybe he thought so highly of me. I rubbed my temples as the carriage bumped on a rock. Taking a carriage to Silver Pack was the best decision, other than horses. I reread Logan’s letter repeatedly till I began reciting them. “You are sure this is from the Lycan?” Edwin asked, after hearing me repeat it for minutes. I nodded. “Your Silver will have more information about this wolf. What ever made her release him, she’d tell me!” The carriage slowed down, alerting me that we were at Silver Pack. I jumped down, assuming a more dominant stance. I looked up the stairs and saw Your Silver glaring down at me. She was in a white dress, quite pure and feminine for her. Edwin came down the carriage as well, looking around. “Her place is really nice but could have loads of hideou
Chapter Eighty-Five – Few energy.Rihanna’s POV Dara was embarrassing. Did she really get that horse tail from Sasha? Surely she didn’t kidnap her because why will she? I brushed it aside. The current more impending problem was Logan having the Blue Bloom Princess. What's he trying to prove by having a royalty? Was this what Jaden meant by he only needed power? Will killing an Alpha give him power? “Of course, it will.” Lana yelled in my head. “He wants to take our chance to kill Chris. Never, we will do the killing.” I smiled to myself. So we were going there to save the Blue Bloom Princess and ensure the Lycan didn’t kill Chris. That was a good way of seeing it. Edwin climbed inside the carriage, I didn’t want to and rather run to the place but Chris pushed me in. I glared at him. “Don’t touch me again.” Edwin shook his head as Chris climbed in. The carriage was bigger in the inside than it looked at the outside. I stayed at the edge, looking out the window. “Tell Beatric
Chapter Eighty-Six – Fight.Rihanna’s POV Have I been tricked by Chris? The Lycan said he had understood his letter? Had he told Chris to drag me from Silver Pack! I jumped down the tree. I never hid away from the Lycan in the first place, there was no need to use Chris and deceive me to come here. He could have just come before me, himself. He was the coward. “We both know I’m not scared of you! You are the one using cheap ways to get us together!!” I yelled as I marched towards him. His eyes perked, hearing my voice, he snarled angrily coming towards the sound he heard. I observed Edwin rush to his Alpha who was battling with the silver on his face. I bet his skin had burnt from such toxic waste. Served him right! Edwin dragged him to his shoulders and helped him flee the place. Great. So much for ‘I’d help you disarm the Lycan’. It had all been a lie. “So let me get this straight, you want to kill me because I don’t want to heal you?” I asked, when I was face to face with
Chapter Eighty-Seven – Fainted.Rihanna’s POV I dodged Logan’s punch and landed one on his face. I staggered getting a hit in my sides but I quickly recovered. He kicked a rock at me but using my barrier, I sent it flying back to him. It went straight to the middle of his eyes and he groaned. With his envision impaired, I grabbed the plank again and used all my strength to hit it on his right arm. It shattered on him, and a piece went to my eyes. I fell, back to the ground. “There, I broke that arm.” With Lana’s vision, I saw the arm disconnected from it’s source. And it’d take days or a week to heal as it was an internal injury. His cries of pain and agony, delighted my anguished body. I felt like I was healing fast. “It is time to kill you now, Logan!” but I had no strength to. All had been drained from me. My legs moved but that was all they could do, they couldn’t lift me up. “Or you can kill yourself if you’re too ashamed a girl will do it.” I suggested instead. His cri
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
