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 cries increased, perhaps in realization. I tried to reach out to Lana for help but she was exhausted.
I let out a helpless howl in the forest.
The birds in the trees flew away but none came to my aid. “I will kill you, Logan!”
I had to keep repeating those words and hope Lana had any more strength to share with me. I felt power surging inside me but none to use.
Logan began leaving, finally giving up. I was glad but also distraught. He didn’t have to live for another fight, I didn’t want that.
At the same time, I felt a familiar energy coming towards me. It was still far away.
“Logan, stay there!” I ordered, sitting up from the ground. But he kept walking away till he was finally gone.
I fell back, a scent hitting my nose. Tears streamed down my eyes, both of anger, pain and happiness.
“Logan, I said stay there.” I whispered to the air.
Footsteps were nearer, Lana could pick that up. And the scent of the person was clearer, making me smile.
“Ray, come get me.” I said to my brother in mind link. He was the one closer, I felt it.
“Rih, I’m coming. Are you okay?” he replied but then I had a black out, though it felt like my body just switched off.
My mind, consciousness, and wolf were still alert, protecting my body from exterior forces. I didn’t know I could do that.
If Lana was that powerful then maybe I was the one stopping her from breaking rank.
And what if Logan’s right, and I didn’t deserve to be the silver wolf?
“You’re weak and second guessing yourself, I’d forgive that. But shut the hell up!” Lana yelled.
It was relieving that she didn’t think so. My body got touched by a warm hand, it was Ray. He found me.
“Rih, Rih, are you okay?” he called. I was picked up then held my strong arms. But he didn’t move. I felt and heard everything.
Then I heard. “Why’s she here? Rogues?” It was Cara, was she serious?
“Rogues will do this to my sister? She must have met the Lycan, ask the men to scan here, find that bastard!” Ray ordered.
Cara scoffed, making me enraged. “If your all powerful sister couldn’t kill the Lycan, how’d your warriors do the same?”
She seriously hated me.
“Oh, they are my warriors now? Cara, don’t get me started? Let them scan this area now!” Ray began moving towards.
I didn’t know where we were going to, but I was sure it was taking long. Silver Pack wasn’t that far or was Ray taking me to Black Rose. Really?
I heard the Black Rose trumpet that showed a visitor arrived. My brother was pretty annoying for taking me all the way to Black Rose.
“Bring the doctor here or I’d take your brains out!” he barked. I was glad to hear a voice after all the run.
“Lana, I’d bail. I’m getting tired of being … conscious.” It left my lips and slowly I began losing my consciousness.
The door opened and a wave of excitement ran through me. My mate just walked in. The scent and body jittering hit me in one go.
But my consciousness was leaving me. Ray went far away, he must have left the room as those feelings died again.
“Ray, what happened to her? Could you… Ray! Explain what happened to…” I heard Jaden say but it became unclear.
Was this how coma felt like? It was so sick and I wanted to reclaim my body but there was no strength in it.
My brother left, I didn’t know where to. He left me here and went off to where?
“He sent his mate to find a Lycan, of course, he’d be worried.” Lana reminded.
I mentally rolled my eyes. His mate wasn’t worth it. I couldn’t feel my mate, but I knew someone was cleaning my wounds.
“Two people are in the room.” Lana informed. Perhaps the doctor and Jaden. I heard footsteps pacing about, probably Jaden.
“Alpha, she suffers internal bleeding. Shoulders are badly injured… but she doesn’t have much claw marks. She wasn’t ambushed.”
Those were the words of the doctor.
Who said I was ambushed? Except if you’d add Chris setting me up but nonetheless, I fought fair and square with that Lycan King.
And lost.
“Ray doesn’t want to say what happened. Maybe it’s the Lycan, perhaps he used up the rogues.” Jaden wondered out loud to the doctor.
His tone was full of worry and even if I couldn’t see him, I imagined him frowning.
The doctor touched a wound that made my body react, was I getting my strength back?
“Be gentle there.” I felt Jaden’s warm hand on my legs. “Whatever did this will pay.”
Hell they will, and I didn’t need him paying for me. I’d start with Chris then Logan.
My wounds were neatly dressed five minutes later, the warm hand on my legs remained.
I heard a chair come closer and someone sat on it. “Thank you.” Jaden said to someone.
The door closed. He was alone here. Didn’t he have some Alpha stuff to do?
“Rih, are you feeling okay?” his hand went to my head. I felt goosebumps as his warm and touched my cold forehead.
Why was it that cold? Yeah, the hole in my head. It was dressed but there was a good damage.
“Will you be paralyzed after this?” his voice sounded broken.
Paralyzed? Like unable to move my body?
“Lana, could I get paralyzed after this? I’m supposed to heal.” I asked Lana, fear getting to me.
She didn’t reply quickly and only whimpered. “I have to heal you but I feel so weak to, so maybe, till then, you could be paralyzed.”
What the hell?
