Chapter Two Hundred and One – Admit it.
Jaden’s POV
Logan exhaled, closing his eyes, “I wanted your energy for more than being immortal Rihanna.”
Did he mean he needed her energy to remove his curse? He was being sketchy again.
The Lycan glanced at Liam. “Deep down, I’d like the curse gone so I’d return to my family.”
Liam blinked, looking down.
“I believe the silver wolf energy can remove my curse, somehow.” Logan added.
My face contorted to a scowl. “So she should let you absorb her energy?”
Rihanna looked up at me with small pout. I knew she was unwilling, I was unwilling too.
“Not necessarily.” Liam said. “Maybe she could use it to free him.”
“Don’t forget I still don’t know how.” Rihanna cocked her head but it slowly straightened.
“Yes, Red Moon! They’d know! If they can swap mates, they can speak to the moon goddess!” She yelped.
But her excitement died down. “I don’t think I need them using sorcery on me though.”
Liam’s hopeful expression faded. “So we are doomed? Great.”
He was making it look like it was my mate’s fault. It was his father’s fault for being such a wicked soul.
“Rihanna, if you really want to do this then I think you already have what it takes.” I told my mate. She had a quizzical look.
I wasn’t sure if that’s a motivation but…”Few minutes ago, you tapped into your silver wolf’s energy, maybe do the same. Let it… burn?”
Both she and Liam stared at me like I was insane. I wasn’t… yet. But if Logan dies without freeing my generation and I, then I would be.
Rihanna rose to her feet with determination. “Let it burn! Okay!”
It worried me that was the only part she got but all good. I pulled Liam from her as I knew her ‘burning’ could also harm us.
“What will she do?” Liam asked me.
I smirked. “Not sure but let her.”
Her fists clenched as she made low growls. Her claws also slid out of her fingers.
Liam held my arm tightly. “She might kill him.”
Then we felt it, her barrier energy active. We took steps away from her.
Was she releasing all her abilities to contact the goddess? We should really appreciate the effort.
Suddenly, something sparked in her and she screamed. Her eyes changed to silvery flame.
I tried to get close but her barrier bounced me back. She was there, with only Logan and he was still conscious.
Liam went back with me and helped me up. “She might have connected.” I hoped so.
Her claws slowly went to Logan’s face and she pulled him up to her. “You admit your wrongs?”
That wasn’t Rihanna speaking. There was an echo to it. It gave me chills.
Liam inched closer. “Logan should say yes. If he had admitted his mistakes years back then it wouldn’t get to this.”
We both waited patiently for Logan’s reply.
Then he nodded. “Let my sons go, goddess. Put your wrath only on me.”
A smile crawled to my face. That was the most selfless thing Logan had even done.
Rihanna held his face up, looking at her. She seemed she was peering into his eyes.
Her aura made him wince and he began writhing in pain. Slowly, we noticed Logan’s eyes change.
They went from red, orange, yellow to brown. His eyes burned and a silver glow came to it.
Did she transfer energy?
It stopped and Logan fell back. Rihanna crashed on the ground too.
Her barrier fell off and Liam ran to Logan while I ran to my mate. “Rihanna? Did it work?”
What did she do? Did she succeed?
Leon whispered to me. “She must have. Right now, I feel less angry.” That was new, I felt it too.
I glanced at Liam and he looked worried about Logan. The Lycan looked wasted.
Using my wolf vision to scan him, I saw his energy was drained. All his ranks, taken. The moon goddess left him at hunter level.
“Kill Logan.” Rihanna mumbled.
I gazed at her. Was there need for it? He was already dying. She sat up straight, glaring at him.
“No matter what, he should pay for his sins. He raided pack, caused unrest, killed Blue Bloom princess and Ralph. Kill him.” She repeated.
My eyes glowered at the Lycan. He had killed Ralph. But I was hesitant again.
I hated myself for that. “I can’t, Rihanna. Just let him die…”
“I’d do it then.” She remarked and before I’d react, her claws slashed through his neck.
His head bent down and his half opened eyes, closed shut for good.
Liam gasped but stayed back, nodding. “He deserved it.” He gulped down saliva.
“For all our fallen comrades.” Rihanna said with a broken voice. “For all those Logan raped and killed.” she added. “He’s dead.”
A shiver ran down my spine. He was dead. My biological father was dead. But he deserved it.
Rihanna’s eyes changed to silvery flames again but it didn’t exude a dangerous aura. “He’s really dead. Liam, if you want, bury him in your land.”
The boy nodded again, repeatedly. “Thank you. I thought you’d like to burn his body and keep under the river.” He chuckled bitterly.
“I would like to.” Rihanna deadpanned.
Liam’s smile faded and he shook his head. “Then, please don’t. At least, let my mother see him again. Let’s bury him in his land.”
I held unto my mate as she almost collapsed again. “Go on, Liam. Take care.”
Rihanna wrapped her hand around me and I carried her. “Drop by later to take the other Lycan in my prison.”
I didn’t feel like killing him, knowing he was related to me. He should just stay away from me.
Liam pursed his lips. “Oh, I stopped by your pack while looking for you and Jake said your mother had killed him. For all her pain.”
My eyes widened.
Rihanna laughed. “I love that woman!”
Liam carried his father’s corpse and ran off, towards Boots and Rivers market, heading to the sea.
It wouldn’t take time for news to spread on the death of Logan. We fulfilled the project, the silver wolf and her mate.
I glanced at my mate and she was sleeping off on me. I smiled, admiring how beautiful she looked
“Could you get her to a bed first?” Leon sighed.
“Do you still have your twisted desires?”
“No!”
“Then let me admire my mate in peace.” I retorted, before speeding off to Silver Pack.
