You Rejected A Silver Wolf

Chapter Hundred and Sixty-Three - Reinforcement

Jaden's POV

Rihanna would have easily sensed past this, and I bet Logan knew she wasn't around.

Why had she gone out without telling me?

"Since when were you entitled to know about her movements?" my wolf asked me.

I frowned. It wasn't about me but the kingdom she was meant to protect. "Just stop!" I told him.

He had been very irritable since he heard Logan had Ralph-so irritable that our environment suffered as he emitted a gloomy aura.

Chris strolled towards the biggest molten rock and struck it. "Maybe if we're noisy, we can get Logan to come to us instead," he joked.

I appreciated his little jokes that helped keep my mood in check, but they no longer worked.

I steadied myself again and tried to reach past the silver, no matter how energy- draining it was.

A sudden surge of energy hit me, giving me strength, and I lost concentration. What's that?

Looking around, there was no one but Chris, and he wasn't looking at me. But when I met his gaze, he looked like he had experienced something.

"Did you feel it too?" I asked.

He confirmed with a nod. "A sudden rush of weakness. Could it be what Logan is making?"

Sudden rush of weakness? It was the opposite for me. I clenched my fists. "Whatever he's making, he won't finish."

But that would only be an empty threat if I couldn't locate the pack house due to the silver around it.

I was losing hope. What use was knowing where the hostages were if we couldn't reach them?

Just then, I felt the energy of some wolves approaching. It was a Delta and a Warrior rank.

Chris noticed and stared in their direction. "Are you expecting reinforcements of some sort?"

I shook my head. But all reinforcements were welcome. I sensed Dara's energy and smiled.

"It's Silver Pack!" I declared, excited. "I forgot I sent a letter to them earlier. They must have heard from Liam to meet us here."

Dara dashed toward me and slapped my arm before turning to Chris. I frowned, rubbing my injured arm.

"Who would have thought the Alpha King would come down to this place? Aren't you scared or something?" she taunted Chris.

"I thought we were good?" Chris raised a brow.

"Nope, we're not, but I have a duty to my Alpha, and I know this place better than anyone," she remarked confidently.

Camilla appeared later, holding a medical kit. "Oh, Alpha Chris and Alpha Jaden. I'm here by orders of my Beta-for the hostages only."

Did she have to explain? I was just glad she came.

"In other words, she won't be active in the fight," Dara smirked, then snapped her fingers. "So, boys, follow me."

"Boys?" Chris frowned.

"Follow you?" I asked.

Camilla chuckled. "Don't mind her. Liam, the annoying messenger boy, told her the address, and it's actually where she grew up."

I looked around the environment. Dara grew up below a volcano beside Blue Fire? "That's before Red Moon killed our people and turned us into slaves. We believed in Silver Wolves, so the homes were made with it," Dara explained.

"No wonder you were the first warrior to be resistant to silver. That's why our Alpha made you the lead warrior," Camilla noted.

Dara flipped her hair and marched deeper into the land. "Let's go! I can sense the hostages are alive at least three of them."

She could sense them? Of course, she was resistant to silver. But only three hostages were alive? Logan had four hostages.noveldrama

Chris followed behind her while Camilla stayed back, sitting on a rock. "Take care, Alpha Jaden."

I smiled at her before running to catch up with Dara and Chris. The place grew hotter as we ventured deeper.

A small pack house came into view, surrounded by molten rocks that resembled trees.

Dara frowned, seeing the place. "It looks worse than I remember."

I sensed Logan's energy inside the pack house and was sure he sensed ours.

"Three hostages are inside. Dara, lead them out to Camilla."

She bowed and ran off.

Chris turned to me. "I'll try to bring down the Lycan. You should be careful with your energy!"

I nodded, and we began walking toward the house.

The door suddenly burst open. An eight-foot Lycan stomped out, snarling loudly when he spotted us.

I knew this wasn't his full height, but it was already demoralizing. We'd be doing more jumping than scratching.

"We caught you at your little hideout! Your prank the other day was solid," Chris seethed.

What prank? I noticed Logan had a cut on his thigh and wondered if it was from Ralph or Liam.

The Lycan taunted, "The four of you came to be part of my little experiment, didn't you?"

Experiment? I tried to connect with Ralph's mind link inside the house but couldn't. He wasn't even close to me.

"Where's Ralph?" I barked at Logan.

His lips curled up. "That's the main rat of my experiment, so I had to keep him secluded."

My Beta was his rat? My wolf raged.

"You deserve to be thrown inside a volcano!" I spat.

He laughed heartily. "Oh, that's a good one!"

The earth below us suddenly began rumbling. Was it the volcano?

"Ray said the volcano would be active-maybe today. We should hurry and leave," Chris noted.

I wasn't leaving without Ralph. I hoped he knew that.

To reserve my energy, I backed away while Chris charged at Logan, engaging him in an arm wrestle.

Dara crept behind the pack house. I knew she'd need help to successfully get all the hostages out.

Just then, Chris grunted as he sustained an injury. So fast? Logan had gotten stronger.

My eyes flickered to Chris, and I became torn between helping Dara or him.

Using a bit of my energy, I flung a boulder at the Lycan. He dodged it but fell.

Dara broke into the house but ran out again when snakes attacked her. The Lycan had trapped the place.

Logan let out an intimidating growl, temporarily freezing Chris, but he broke free and dodged the Lycan's attack.

Why is it that the Lycan's growl affects Chris and Rihanna but does nothing to me? "Jaden, look out!" It was Dara.

She pushed me out of the way as Logan hurled a boulder at me.

She fell to the ground, unconscious and bleeding from her head as the rock shattered. "Dara!" I called for her, but she had passed out.

Saving my energy for my injury won't happen today, or everyone around me will die.

My eyes glowed red.

It was now or never.
