Chapter Hundred and Forty-Six – He’s dying.
My head snapped at Logan. “What did you do, you bastard!!”
The wretched Lycan had a smirk. “Just so you know, it wouldn’t have worked on me. It only works on werewolves.”
My fists clenched. Of course, Boots and Rivers market wouldn’t have something for Lycans as they aren’t an everyday threat.
“I only made the charm be of good use. So Jaden, is the one dying today!” Logan snickered.
Jaden pulled me back, as I tied to charge at the Lycan. “I’m not dying, don’t mind him.”
He didn’t get it. His blood would slowly and painfully rot in his body, inside out. It was a gradual process.
This Lycan had tricked me by acting immobile when he had the strength to play such pranks.
I shoved Jaden aside. “Let’s end him before he causes another trouble…”
“I’d advice you to go for help before the rotting starts.” Logan interrupted, making me halt my steps.
Jaden sighed. “Forget that.”
“If you keep on exerting your energy, the rots will begin faster. Your energy is the only thing slowing it down.” Logan said again.
Was he saying this because he wanted his death postponed?
My mate tried to walk to him but I pulled him back. “Let’s go and save you.”
He shook his head. “Let’s kill him first…”
“You’d die!” my voice cracked.
I shut my eyes to control my emotions. I can’t be the reason my mate died, I just can’t.
My eyes opened and Jaden was staring into them. With his expression, I knew they were moistened already. I looked away.
“We found a solution for Hunter. I’d connect him to my pack mind link, Logan can’t use him. Return and save yourself.” I pleaded.
His hands squeezed on mine in a comforting manner. I exhaled. “I’d handle Logan. Go.”
He hesitated before speeding off. I wanted to run to him, to tell him not to use his speed as it’d drain his energy but he was gone already.
I faced Logan as he started humming.
“There’s something between you too. Please, tell me he’s not your new mate.” He frowned.
Why’d he care? I flexed my claws, indicating I’d be using them soon.
“You’d pay for what you did!”
“But he’s not dead… yet.” He teased.
I faked a smile. “Funny, isn’t it?”
Logan leapt to his feet. “Yes, it’s funny.”
With my barrier being initiated, I ran to him with a swinging punch.
The pressure of the barrier kept preventing him from coming close to him and pressing him on the rock.
My punch landed on him and he staggered back. A trickle of blood left his nose. “Bitch!”
“I am.” I threw my hands at him but he missed it and then elbowed my sides. I didn’t back out and kept throwing punches and swipes at him.
We went on for minutes. Hitting him and getting hit back. My energy was being drained.
I had gotten lots of cuts and wounds already. Logan had really leveled up.
My barrier sent Logan away from me, to give me time but he charged again, this time holding a red charm.
“I think he wants to drain our energy now we are weak! He’s quite weak as well. We need to leave Rihanna!” Lana warned me.
I couldn’t leave!
I promised Logan death when last we met and now, he’s more than deserving of the death.
I dodged the blow he sent to me but I didn’t know another was coming to my stomach.
The force threw me on a rock and it cracked, one of my bones cracking with it.
“Rihanna! Leave!” Lana screamed inside of me.
Was she scared for me? Or for her energy that’d be stolen out of me?!
“Is that even a question? You act like you’d be alive when the energy is stolen! You can’t fight if it is, leave and fight another day!” she cried.
Logan massaged the charm, strutting toward me with a high head, despite the brushes, scars and blood on the head. “And now, for my price!”
I was laying on the ground, catching my breathe. If I left now, I still won’t reach my pack before fainting. He’d still have me.
“You were an easy catch, Rihanna! Sending your mate who could have protected you, away, was really reckless!”
Wait, so he made he send Jaden away? What he said about the energy was a lie?
My eyebrows furrowed and my fists clenched. This Lycan used my emotions against me!
He placed the charm on my head but I shook my head. He held my head still and placed it again.
When it balanced, I used my energy to create another barrier that took him by surprise, throwing him back.
I caught the charm that nearly fell from my head and stomped on it, destroying it. “It’s gone!”
“I have plenty!” he groaned, getting up.
“Rihanna! Run! Your energy is low!” my wolf warned again.
I heeded, throwing a rock at Logan to keep him down then dashing off with top speed.
It wasn’t a surprise he chased after me, he knew my energy was weak and I couldn’t reach my pack, but I could prove him wrong.
“You can’t! It’s too far!” Lana screamed in my head. Her voice was filed with pain, and annoyance that I had been disobeying her.
“Rihanna!” I heard Logan’s growl as we crossed the hills that would lead to my forest.
It was a thin road and his growl nearly halted me. I forced my body to move even if he was a breath’s width away from me.
Suddenly, a fast figure ran behind me and pushed Logan back. They both fell down the hill.
I increased my speed but slowed down when I thought that could be Jaden. Was he alright?
My strength wasn’t enough for a successful slow down so I fell, losing the energy I needed to use to run.
“Rih, hold me!” I heard Jaden shout.
He came from behind me. Wasn’t he the one who pushed Logan back?
“Someone helped me!” I muttered, pointing below the hill that the figure and Logan fell off.
“Yes, that’s Liam, a friend. Come on. He’d be okay.” Jaden said, carrying me on his back.
How’d this Liam be okay if he fell down a hill with someone like Logan? But just then the figure sped past me again.
He stopped besides Jaden. I couldn’t see him clearly as my vision was being blurred off.
“Why are you carrying her? Is she the Alpha of Silver Pack?” The figure said.
It was a teenage boy. “Yes.” Jaden replied.
“Oh. I hate her.” The boy deadpanned, making me black out with a frown on my face.
