You Rejected A Silver Wolf

Chapter Hundred and Ninety-Six - Hesitant.

Jaden's POV

It must have been Rihanna's shout of pain that attracted Chris to come close to where we were.

I noticed him, but before I could warn him, he tripped over a charm laying about.

Direct contact with the object made him lose his balance. Energy had been taken from his legs.

"Argh! I can't move!" he screamed.

It temporarily paralyzed him? I had speculations of that happening. "Chris, hold on!"

But Logan came before me and sent a punch my way. I dodged it by bending, but my mate caught his hand and twisted it.

I escaped to Chris.

Rihanna dragged Logan's hand behind him, but he hit her with his head, and she let go of him.

Her legs went to his head, but he blocked it and slapped her upper thighs.

She backed away, holding her legs and wearing a scowl. That was a violation on her mate!

A sexual harassment, if I should say!

I left Chris and charged back to him. With my sides, I pushed him towards a boulder, and he broke into it. "Don't you dare touch her!"

A guffaw of laughter erupted from him. He recovered from the hit before Rihanna got close enough to end him.

"Jaden, save Chris!" my mate reminded me.

I went towards him, but a boulder got thrown, displacing me and Chris. He narrowly dodged it by rolling.

"Jaden, focus! I'm getting better," he said to me.

But I knew he didn't mean it. I rejected his energy seeping into me, but surely Logan was enjoying it. And it would help him heal taster.

"Let's focus on killing Logan. That will save Chris later!" I told Rihanna.

She glanced at him, feeling sorry. I looked away from her. Didn't she say she hated him? Why was she feeling sorry now?

Logan charged at her, but she didn't move. He was thrown back by her unseen barrier,

and she smirked, facing him. "Gets you all the time."

I avoided her as I knew the barrier had a strong effect on me as well.

As we battled Logan, he easily landed more hits on me than he did Rihanna.

However, he quickly recovered from her hits than he did with my hits.

We were a pair of faster and stronger.

The Lycan threw a boulder at me, and Rihanna stayed close to me, activating her barrier.

The boulder was destroyed in the air.

I caught a glimpse of the Blue Bloom Alpha pulling Chris from above the charm.

I was stunned seeing it had no effect on him, but I also noticed he didn't use his energy while coming close to the charm.

While waiting for the residue from the boulder to clear om the air, a huge figure came into contact with Rihanna's barrier.

Like it charged at it and wasn't thrown away.

It was a Lycan. Logan. But it didn't look like him.

He had shifted to a beastly form. His eye balls were all red, and he stood at least nine feet.

His fur had grown darker, and his face beastly! Like a demon. He could scare a grown

man.

Rihanna moved back, feeling her barrier get subdued. "He's breaking into my barrier," she whimpered.

I held onto her, not wanting to see her scared. But I knew if I let Logan break her barrier once, he'd do it again.

So I wasn't giving him the experience.

Shifting to my Lycan form was hard, and I hadn't tried it since I shifted the first time, but right now, I had to protect my mate.

"Rihanna, release your barrier when I say so. Then go as far as possible! I'd handle this," I assured, feeling scared within myself.

She gazed at me, with much hope that it scared me to disappoint her. "Okay, I'd back you up."

When she stepped away, I spoke to my wolf. "It's now or never, Leon. Force that Lycan out!"

He responded with a roar, and I felt my body enlarge. A sense of power and rage washed over me as I shifted.

Of course, rage and twisted desire were things my wolf constituted. "Leon, don't hold back now! Be angry, protect our mate!"

Rihanna backed away as her barrier began failing. I knew as the beast came closer to us, and his growl sounded more victorious.

"Rihanna, back off!" Leon told his mate as he took control for a second. She moved back, the barrier falling.

I sent a punch at the beast and nudged his side hardly. He went back, growling to intimidate me.

Honestly, I was stunned, but a desire to see him growl in pain became more prevalent.

My claws grew more pronounced as I charged at him again. He was taller than me, and that was a disadvantage.

He kneed my stomach and elbowed my back.

I resisted crying out in agony, and I stabbed my claws deeply into his sides and dragged them down to his hips.

I was released from his grip, and I let go of him. We staggered away from each other.

I heard an angry shout and saw Rihanna charge at him with her sword.

In one swipe, she slashed her sword through his neck, giving a distinct cut on his neck.

That was a fatal area, and my heart jumped. I became scared of my reaction.

My heart didn't jump for happiness but for fear.

Was I scared of him dying because he was my father? My fists clenched and landed them on him, he fell down on his back.

Why did I have such reaction? Was this a father-son bond? But he's a beast and deserved death.

Still, I held Rihanna from going to him. "Please, wait!" my eyes were on him.

I hated myself for feeling hesitant. It's not like he was an ideal father. I remembered something.

"We should ask why he did everything. Killed, raped, wanted werewolves' extinction," I

said.

She raised her brows with tilted head. "Don't we already know why?"

I shook my head. "I met a palm reader who told me that Logan never actually told us

why."

Rihanna stared at him. He was immobile, staying still. But I could sense he wasn't dead. Instead, he was recharging.

Suddenly, he made a swift movement on my mate. Kicking her legs and sending her falling.

She landed on her neck.

I heard the sound of something of hers break.

Then his huge body crashed on me.

My breathing hitched seeing my mate lay there, not moving.

She was speaking just a second ago.

Panic flooded my thoughts.

Logan had been holding out on us.

And I unknowingly aided him by being hesitant.

His hands went to my neck, trying to choke me with his claws. My wolf felt my mate,

Rihanna, disconnect from us.

For a moment, I couldn't feel my mate.

Did she... die?

The world at that point moved in slow motion.

I saw her sword get picked up and then a shout before it stuck inside of Logan, on topnoveldrama

of me.

The Lycan jumped up and charged at the wolf.

My neck bled, but I rushed to my mate whose eyes were opened, but I didn't see life in

them.

"Rihanna?" I called softly. She said nothing.
