You Rejected A Silver Wolf

Chapter Hundred and Forty-Four - Asking Logan

Rihanna's POV

I arrived at the volcano before Jaden, my heart pounding heavily in my chest. That was

a new record-reaching such a distance within ten seconds. I had felt weird before I started the run, but I felt better now.

"Rihanna?" Jaden's voice came from behind me as he caught up. I smiled, folding my arms, but I noticed the worried look in his eyes.

"Are you okay?" he asked.

I nodded with a shrug. "Why? My speed seemed too unreal for you?"

He smiled, shaking his head while glancing around. "Be careful-Logan should be around."

I rolled my eyes. Was it my first time meeting Logan? Why did he think I couldn't handle myself?

"You be careful," I shot back, marching forward and trying to sense Logan's energy. "Okay then, we should both be careful," he corrected, following me.

We both halted when Logan's energy hit us. He was approaching-fast. Even if he hadn't been home, he must have sensed our presence and come running back. His hideout wasn't exactly near the volcano, but the scattered molten rocks made it a good hiding place.

"I figured you hadn't gotten a proper fight with Logan, so you do the torturing while I do the asking," I offered Jaden.

He quickly accepted.

Logan appeared before us, seemingly caught halfway through transforming into his Lycan form. His shorts strained against his hairy legs, and his large arms had ripped through parts of his shirt. Was he changing back to human, or was that his new form?

"You can maintain your physique halfway now? I guess that's an improvement," Jaden strolled toward him.

I turned my attention from Jaden to Logan. Maintain physique? So that was it-he could reduce his size?

"You two coming to find me... I can smell trouble," the Lycan seethed.

"I smell death—your death," I replied. "But first, I have some questions before that happens."

Logan's gaze shifted from Jaden to me. "If it's about Mi Destino, I can assure you he didn't run to me. He went to his aunt's place at Blue Bloom."

Mi Destino? Oh, that little scoundrel. I'd deal with him later. "Not him. Hunter-my Beta's son. How do you connect with him?"

Logan's expression twisted into confusion before he grinned. "Connect with him? You sound almost sure that I do. I don't even know the kid, so no I have no idea what you mean."

A huff left Jaden's lips. "Then how do you know it's a kid if you don't know him? Stop the nonsense. Is it a charm you're using, or what?"

Logan's grin faded, and his brows furrowed. "The charms at Boots and Rivers Market can't be that effective."

If it wasn't a charm, then what was he using?

"Then how do you control the child?" Jaden demanded. "It will be in your best interest

if I don't beat the answer out of you."

I smiled. Low-key, I wanted him to.

Logan's eyes dimmed as he focused on Jaden. He didn't even bother defending himself in case of an attack.

"I don't have time for this, actually. I noticed another Lycan visited recently and had been looking for me," Logan remarked.

Another Lycan? Visited?

"Don't worry. I told him you'd be killed soon, so he was on his way home," Jaden said, stepping closer.

Wait-he knew there was another Lycan here? What was that about? The Lycan's face twisted in anger, and his claws elongated.

"Logan, you asked for this," I stated, rushing toward him while initiating my barrier.

He had been focused on Jaden, so he didn't anticipate my attack. The impact sent him backward, and his eyes glowed.

"Wasn't I supposed to do the torturing?" Jaden asked, sounding unbothered.

"Well, skip to the killing!" I gestured toward Logan, who was lunging at us.

Jaden pushed me behind him, and we both dodged Logan's strike.

I swiftly pulled a small bottle from my waist bag but hesitated. "He needs an open injury first."

My wolf growled inside me, and I froze. Our mate is injured. Wait-what? That was wrong.

I jumped in front of Jaden and initiated my barrier, sending Logan flying back again. "What happened?"

"Well, he obviously ranked up after his fight with Chris," Jaden hissed.

Ranked up? What other rank was he going to?

Logan charged again, but I grabbed Jaden and sped away.

"We need to give him an injury. I have something that can only kill him once he's wounded," I explained.

Logan's intimidating growl sent a shiver through me, momentarily paralyzing me. Jaden yanked me aside just as a boulder crashed where I had stood.

"Were you enthralled by that?" he asked, shaking me back to consciousness. I was conscious the growl just got to me every time.

I pulled Jaden with me. "C'mon!"

His injury would take a while to heal, but it wasn't delicate.

Just as Logan leaped high to pounce on me, Jaden swiped his underside with his claws, sending him crashing to the ground.

Logan rolled away before my heel could strike his face, but Jaden chased after him.

We hadn't even gotten the answer about Hunter, but Logan clearly wasn't ready to talk he must have had a good reason.

He had an injury now, so my charm should work. I turned to see Jaden shifting into his wolf form. His clothes lay on the ground-intact, so he could wear them again later.

For him to unleash his wolf meant Logan was proving to be a challenge. Jaden's wolf kicked Logan with his hind legs, launching him into the air.

I hurriedly activated my barrier, and when Logan fell, he bounced up again before crashing into a molten rock.

The sickening crack of his spine echoed around us.noveldrama

I rushed to Jaden's panting wolf, its tongue hanging out in exhaustion.

Reaching for my boot, I pulled out a small sachet of silver particles.

Logan tried crawling away, but I poured the particles around him in a circle enough

to burn him deeply if he crossed it. The last handful, I spread over his face.

He groaned, trying to rise but falling back again.

Kudos to both Jaden and my barrier for this. "So now, let's talk again-before your death, eh?"

"I will tell you nothing!" he snarled. "And I'm sure you'd prefer it that way."

Why would I? "Logan, don't you see? You're dying today! I will fulfill my promise-so start talking!"

He rolled his eyes and looked away.

A threatening growl from behind me made him flinch.

It was Jaden's wolf.

I was stunned to hear Logan let out a small whimper as the wolf approached.

Jaden's wolf extended its claws, flexing them in front of the weakened Lycan.

"It's best you start talking or he'll start shredding," I warned, acting as the wolf's mouthpiece.

A wrinkle formed on Logan's forehead before his lips twisted into a grin. "That kid-

Hunter? It was really lame of his mother to name him that."

That was how he wanted to start? Hunter's mother was dead.

"Did you know Hunter's mother?" I demanded.

The woman had died, leaving Hunter an orphan. Could Logan have had something to

do with it?
