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 amount of weakness befall me. I lost my balance and fell down.
She ran out of the barn with her warriors. As they left their crouching position, I realized that they had been sitting on the charms.
A good number was inside the barn. I heard the barn door get closed and Logan’s energy came around again.
“Rihanna!” I heard my mate shout.
I couldn’t move myself.
I looked up at the charm far away from me, I wanted more than anything to smash it on the head of that Luna.
How dare she trick us? We came to save her.
“What did you do… Argghh!” I heard Jaden growl in pain. What were they doing to him? Why was Blue Bloom going against us?
“Jaden! We meet again!” I heard Logan’s voice. “You must know why I’m happy to see you.”
The Lycan was visible at the window of the barn I was inside. I took the Lycan Slayer and flung it on the nearest charm.
It broke to pieces and I felt a tad bit relieved. I crawled away. The farther I was, the better I felt.
Inside me, a surge of energy was growing but I suppressed it, there was no need dispensing energy for that Lycan to take.
“You are a beast!” Jaden yelled in pain.
I didn’t know why till I caught the distinct smell of silver. Had Blue Bloom used Silver on him?
Their energies were not near, meaning they left him there. I’d surely settle my score with them.
Logan was still visible to me. I retrieved my Lycan Slayer and flung it at him, through the window.
I was surprised when it caught him on the neck.
The door of the barn was broken into by Jaden. He growled angrily. He couldn’t see.
The silver was poured on his face. I rushed to him, strangely finding strength. “Jaden, Jaden, are you okay? Can you see?”
I rubbed out the silver on his face, since I was immune to it. He couldn’t even touch it.
My hand felt his tears and I looked down. “I’m sorry, That Luna ambushed us.”
“She was scared.” He muttered. “Don’t blame her, she was scared of losing her pack.”
He reached for a charm and broke it. “And you? Are you alright?”
It wasn’t the time to ask. I felt better with one less charm out of the way. “Concentrate on healing yourself, I’d be back.”
With silver still in my hand, I walked out of the barn. I let loose the surge of energy that was growing in me and it washed through my body.
“Logan, return my sword!” I barked.
He had taken it out of him and was glaring at it. “You silver wolf. That was a clean shot though.”
I smirked. “Thank you. There’s more to come.”
He held unto my sword and made an attack stance. “Bring it on, little one!”
My claws shot out, smeared with the silver. I wasn’t his little one! He had no little one!
He wasn’t worthy of fathering any wolf and I didn’t even wish my enemy to be his son.
I charged at him with full speed. He swiped the sword at my face but I bent down and grabbed his body. In one movement, I toppled him down.
My claws scratched through his arm as I took my sword from him. He was injured and it had silver, equaling slow healing for him.
I pointed my sword at him. “You got slow, or I had gotten faster.”
He rose up quickly with disbelief in his eyes. “I can always weaken you.” He brought out a charm.
I initiated my barrier immediately and using my sword, I hit the charm down. But it was more than one and the one that fell didn’t break.
My barrier was active so I was safe but if any wolf came close, they’d be weakened.
Logan and I engaged in a sword versus claws fight. His claws were fingers long and resembled that of bears. He had really unlocked some rank.
The rank however increased his strength but his speed didn’t improve or perhaps it was because he was an old wolf now.
“Die!” I yelled, releasing my barrier, and stabbing my sword through his chest.
With my barrier down, he kicked me hardly and I staggered, letting go of the sword and falling on a broken table.
I shouted in anguish. My back suffered greatly.
He smirked, walking to me with a sword in his heart. My energy began leaving me again.
I tapped into the energy surging inside me. My eyes shifted to a different color for a second, an unusual energy pumped inside of me.
My barrier was activated again and it took Logan by surprise. He bounced off and was thrown off.
I rose to my feet, slowly moving to him.
“There’s a limit to the shit I can take Logan! One thing about me is, I adapt really well.” I boasted.
He inched away from me, looking me in the eye. “Honestly, I’m glad you have broke your Silver rank, it will be more power to take from you.”
He was still ranting about taking energy from me? This Lycan never learnt.
Jaden came out from the barn after getting his sight back. Silver injuries healed really slowly with Lycans.
Seeing I was distracted with my mate, Logan took the sword from his body and threw at me.
I caught the sword before it got to me and made a backflip, avoiding another kick he sent to me.
Logan stood strong, like he was never injured.
Jaden stayed besides me, fuming. “Logan, your little trick was good, I’d give it to you.”
The Lycan flexed his claws, smirking. It was time for round two.
