Chapter Hundred and Ninety-Four – Evil is evil.
Rihanna’s POV
Today was a shocker but I masked it off.
I had to protect my mate’s interest.
As I walked into the pack, the warriors bowed to me, asking. “Alpha Jaden had been expecting you, are you only arriving now?”
I nodded. “Yes, I’d see him now. Thank you.”
My wolf sensed Hunter’s presence in the pack. “Who could’ve known that Hunter, Liam, Jaden, even Mi Destino are related.”
My eyes narrowed at empty space. I wouldn’t have known. And the fact I should bothered me.
“Lana, I know that silver wolfs are closely related to the Moon goddess but are we spiritual in some way?” Or else what did everyone mean?
Should I be able to see the future and the past or something? Should I cast silver balls from my eyes? What did they expect from me?
“Maybe as we were never trained properly and silver wolfs are very rare, we have no one to teach us.” Lana whimpered.
Life wasn’t fair. So much was expected from us but no one passed the knowledge down. Even for a ‘moon goddess incarnate’, life’s unfair.
“Yeah, maybe.” I agreed with Lana.
As I got to the door, I sighted Hunter walking to me. He was looking tired and slightly panting.
His training seemed to be going well, and now, I didn’t feel like I was burdening Jaden as they were brothers.
Jake came out from where Hunter walked out from. “C’mon Hunter! You look so tired when it’s just a warm up!” he teased.
Hunter pouted, folding his arms. “I’m not tired!”
I smiled. “You look tired though. Raise your shoulders so he wouldn’t think you’re tired.”
As Hunter heard my voice in his mind link, he snapped his head left and right.
He grinned on seeing me and raised his shoulders up. “I’m not tired!” he told Jake again.
The door I was in front of opened. My smile widened seeing my mate. “Hey, your warrior said you were looking for me.”
He blinked before looking down, biting on his lips. “Oh, I wasn’t actually but.. yeah.”
I shrugged, brushing past him and getting in. I knew he’d feel awkward, knowing I knew his secret but I’ve absorbed everything in.
“We need to find Logan. Like that guy, I hate him more than I hate Chris.” I seethed.
“Chris? Alpha Chris?” Hunter asked, entering the courtroom. “Why do you hate him…”
“Long story, Hunter!” I interrupted. “But don’t worry, soon you’d hear something really bad…”
“Please Rihanna.” Jaden stopped me. “Let’s wish good for each other. A lot of bad had happened already.”
Hunter agreed with a nod. “Wish good things. Forgive others. No one is completely evil.”
Yeah right. If that’s what Jake was teaching him then he might need a new teacher.
I plopped down on a seat.
“You are right, Hunter. Not everyone is evil, they may have a story that made them that way.” Jaden agreed with the boy.
“The story wouldn’t be worth as much as the damages the evil person did. That still makes the person evil.” I argued.
“But the person’s story should still be heard.” Jaden added.
I frowned, waving my hand in dismissal. “To hell with the story. What you become is the main thing not how you become it.”
Hunger glanced at Jaden and then at me. “Another couple fight in coming.” He sighed.
Couple fight? He knew we were a couple? Who told him we were a couple?
Just then Jake walked in. “Jaden? Rihanna? A warrior from Black Hills came in. Blue Bloom is being raided by Logan.”
I jumped from my seat. Jaden turned to Jake.
Hunter ran to me, blocking my way. “Alpha Jaden said I should give you these.” He stretched out a silk bag that had ornaments.
Jaden looked away from me and marched to his brother. “Logan at Blue Bloom now? Did Chris go there alone?” they went outside.
“Thank you. Hunter stay here. When the Alpha Queen of Black Rose comes, tell her your name and keep her company, okay?” I smiled.
He nodded, “Okay. I’d keep this for you.” He referred to the silk bag of ornaments.
I sped out of the courtroom and sighted Jaden instructing his warriors. “Be alert, all of you!”
The words of Alpha Joanna came to my mind again and I left Jaden, dashing off to Blue Bloom.
Logan was up again with his antics. Attacking the weak because he feels they’re nothing.
“Rihanna, you have to stay behind me when we arrive. The energy drain wave could be active.” Jaden yelled as we ran.
That’s a probability, but the moment I get close, I’d do myself a favor and activate my barrier. “Watch out for yourself, Alpha. I’m good.”
I noticed he smirked before moving ahead.
We arrived at Blue Bloom and met the Alpha directing his pack away from the forest. I sensed Chris around and ran to him.
“Wow, you guys came quickly!” he hollered, helping a little pup climb on the carriage that was taking them away.
“Blue Bloom doesn’t look under attack.” Jaden said, looking around. “But Logan is here.”
“Glad you sensed it. He has hostages. Eight, but one is dying or dead. A Blue Bloom Beta.” Chris narrated.
It was like a stab to my heart. Logan killed another Beta? It must have pained him to lose my brother, so someone had to pay.
“Also Ray said Logan had shifted to something dangerous. I don’t know but if we are to attack him, we should be ready for anything.”
Jaden clenched his fists, moving closer to the barn where Logan was at.
“Alpha Chris, stay back please. Jaden and I will handle this.” I said to Chris.
He frowned. “Why? If Logan is now something dangerous, we should all tackle him…”
“Logan wants me so he’d be careful with me. And you are our King, he wins by default if he gets you. You are the prize.” I pointed him.
He touched himself. “I’m the prize?” he looked down, understanding what I was saying.
“So go now! Help Blue Bloom stay far away.” I added, moving away.
The actual reason I wanted him out was in case Logan ranted about being Jaden’s father, he wouldn’t be close to hear it.
“Fine then. You two should go fulfill your prophecy!” he cheered, before running off.
Jaden turned to me, with a shocked expression. “He knew we were mates?”
I shrugged. “You can sleep well now. C’mon!”
I activated my barrier, it was now or never.
