Chapter Hundred and Eighty – A win.
Rihanna’s POV
As long as my brother was still alive, that was enough motivation to go on.
A boulder was thrown at Beatrice and I rushed to her, initiating my barrier and watching it break in the air.
I didn’t know my barrier could be physical energy to protect me. I found more uses of it.
“Since I wouldn’t be killed, tag around me while fighting, okay?” I told my Beta in mind link.
She nodded but chased after the Lycan who threw a boulder at her. She could be stubborn.
Jonah was engaging the Lycan so I didn’t mind. I turned to the one that just injured Jake.
Jaden wasn’t concentrating and had been inside the cave with Logan, I hoped he’s safe.
If he was fighting hard to protect my brother then I should protect his.
I charged at the Lycan, with my barrier active. It hit him on a tree and I sprang to the air and landed on his huge chest.
My claws made a swipe on his chest, before he shoved me off his body. I landed smoothly and dragged Jake away from him.
“Thank you.” He mouthed, looking at his arm, scarred. I wondered if he’d been that injured.
“It will heal soon.” I consoled.
I ran past the Lycan Chris was with, my barrier active, and he staggered to a fall. Chris gave him a punch that rendered him immobile.
His head was sliced off him and it rolled to me. I stared at my sword in Chris’s hand.
He could be scary. I pulled it from him. “Good job but get your own weapon.”
“That sword is bulky.” He teased. “Use your claws, silver wolf.” He walked away from me.
I gave him a disdained look.
There was a cry of pain in the air and I saw Jake piercing the eyes of the Lycan who injured him.
The Lycan slowly reduced in size, like a ball when it deflated. “Argghh!” his screams were agonizing.
His partner with Jonah and Beatrice, seeing his friends had been subdued, fell to the ground. We outnumbered them.
Jake stepped away from the Lycan as it fell to his knees, holding his eyes. “Give me that.” He referred to my sword.
I threw it at him and he caught it with one hand.
The Lycan, surrounded by Beatrice and Jonah, yelled at Jake. “Please, don’t kill! He’s my son!”
Jake smirked. “Ralph was someone’s son!”
The pathetic Lycan looked up, hoping to catch one last glimpse of the sun with his eyes but he saw nothing.
His head disconnected from his body as Jake dropped the knife on his neck.
The last Lycan cried in agony and it must be the most pleasing thing I’ve ever heard.
Beatrice slapped his face, making him shut up. “Logan has even messed with my son before. How dare you complain!”
“Let him mourn Beatrice. It’s the least a father can do.” Chris told her, stooping to the Lycan.
The Lycan met his gaze. “I assure you, you’d never be a father.”
Chris facial expression changed and his claws zapped through the Lycan’s face. “Don’t you dare lay a curse on me!”
I left them with the Lycan and strolled into the cave. My eyes widened when I saw the other side was open.
Neither Logan or Jaden were in.
My brother was laid on the ground, passed out.
“Beatrice! Come here!” I called her because she had the medical kit and supplies.
My brother’s energy had been drained, but not all of it. “Are you okay?” I asked him.
His eyes opened and they lit up seeing me, but they closed again due to tiredness.
“Where’s Jaden?” Jake enquired behind me.
As he should be able to see, his brother wasn’t here. “Perhaps Logan tried escaping and he chased after him.”
Chris came to where Ray was. “Ray? Is he alive?” he touched his forehead. “He’s hot.”
I looked ahead at where Logan and Jaden left from. “Jonah return with Jake so he’d get treated. Chris, please leave with my brother.”
Beatrice looked at me. “You aren’t going alone to look for Jaden, are you?”
“Return with the Lycan to our pack! If we can’t find Jaden, we’d torture him till he tells!”
But I doubt Logan went to another hideouts. He was running out of places to hide at.
“Beatrice might need help sending the Lycan to Silver Pack though.” Jonah said.
My Beta frowned at him “Then you want to help me? Aren’t you a Delta?”
Chris chuckled, carrying Ray on his back.
Jonah folded his arms. “I didn’t mean it that way, I wanted to give a helping hand.”
“Fine! Beatrice, take it to Black Rose. Jake and Jonah will help you. It’s better at Black Rose. I trust their torture techniques.” I finalized.
I could torture it to death if he makes things hard for me. Beatrice nodded, she and Jonah ran out before it’d escape.
Jake slowly walked out with them.
“Alpha, be careful.” My Beta told me mind link.
“You too!” I replied.
I watched Chris walk away with Ray. He spoke to him like he was still conscious so he’d not fall too deeply.
A huge sigh of relief left my lips. This didn’t end like Ralph’s case.
I felt that Ralph’s spirit was watching over us.
I looked up at the moon goddess, feeling more gratefulness to her than I had ever felt my whole life. “This was a win, Lana.”
My wolf came to the surface. “Yeah, it truly was. And those Lycans were good bonus points.”
I laughed at how she called the beast bonuses. They really were.
They had given Jake, Jonah and Beatrice first hand experience with their kind.
I stretched my body before starting a long walk down the path Jaden and Logan went down.
My heart was really hoping to see a dead body of Logan with Jaden towered over him.
That would mean the oppression and sleepless nights Logan caused in the land would be over.
It meant little pups in my pack could have forest trips and training like I wanted, without being scared of a Lycan gulping them up.
They’d be total peace in the land.
I felt my mate’s energy and sadly, Logan’s was still active. As I climbed the hill were I sensed them, my limps grew weak.
“Rihanna, your barrier!” my mate shouted but it was too late. My energy was already seeping out of me and there’s none to use to initiate it.
I held unto my hips, resting on a rock. “So you had more of that charm, sneaky beast.”
He looked like he had been waiting for my arrival. He guffawed loudly.
The position I wanted to see Logan at, was where my mate was at – below, with Logan towering over him.
Things got bad again, really quickly.
