Chapter Hundred and Twenty–Five – Rogue Attack.
Rihanna’s POV
This was all on Sasha.
After my talk with her, I left for the garden and found Camilla busy, then strolled into the forest.
Now, I was fighting off rogues who’d been tailing Black Hills. It shouldn’t have been my business, but now it was because I strayed too far.
They were attacking because they heard Chris was blind; news got to them slowly.
jumped high and landed on one, digging my claws into his head. More were coming; I could feel them.
If I ran back towards the border, I’d only end up killing Chris’s border warriors. These rogues were on warrior ranks as well.
But if I didn’t go back, I’d tire myself out. Jaden’s wolf effect hadn’t completely worn off.
The rogues ran forward with their claws shot out to strike, then stayed in a formation, waiting for my attack.
I wished we all could just stand there, each waiting for the other’s first attack, while I regained strength.
It immediately came to my mind to interact with them to waste time. “I wonder why you fight me; I’m sure I’m not your enemy.”
The rogues looked at each other. I couldn’t tell their facial expressions as they had masks on.
One, perhaps the leader, laughed heartily as he walked out of the formation. “You?” he pointed his claws at me. “You’re Your Silver.”
Ah, news spread about me, eh?
“Yeah, once a rogue like you,” I smiled.
“No, you weren’t a rogue. You were a terror. You didn’t make friends with other rogues and tried to lord over us. And you killed Mi Vida!” he yelled.
The rest growled angrily on hearing Mi Vida. I growled as well. I hated that girl. Were these the other rogues from her group? Good.
I found strength and flexed my claws, indicating that the chat was over.
It seemed Black Hills wasn’t the target for now.
The leader lunged at me, but my barrier pushed him back.
I tore the face of the next rogue that followed behind him and threw him at the others, breaking their formation.
Three came at me, swiping their claws at my face and throwing kicks. I dodged the ones I could and sent some hits.
They were at least fourteen of them, all attacking me, and only retreated once to take a breath, then a next batch would busy me.
I couldn’t take a breath. I released my barrier to give me time, but they didn’t have much effect on them like it did on higher–ranked wolves.
My claws dug into one of their necks, and the rest stopped, retreating. Was he important to them?
I didn’t hurry to kill him and pulled him to me.
“You all’s favorite? Well, go back, or I’ll take his life!” I yelled.
Chapter 156
They went back, and the leader came forward, worry in his eyes. “Bring him back safely, and we’d leave
Yeah, I wasn’t foolish.
My claws dug deeper into his neck, and he screamed. The rogues went further back.
“You want to wipe out Mi Vida’s bloodline, don’t you!” the leader yelled at me.
Mi Vida’s bloodline? Was the rogue I captured her brother? I stared into his fearful eyes.
He did look like Mi Vida’s preteen brother. How did he grow this big?
“Why bring him out for raids? Are you stupid?” I asked, sighing, then threw the boy against a tree.
He fell, passing out immediately. I didn’t have the heart to kill the boy, yet.
I had gotten some time to recharge, and when the rogues attacked again, I made sure to make clear cuts on them.
Then I received a slash on my back; my breathing hitched for a moment.
I immediately broke through the sudden pain and grabbed the nearest rogue, not the one who slashed me.
My claws went to the rogue’s eyes, popping them like balls, and throwing his disabled self back at his group members.
I staggered, falling back against a tree. Warm blood streamed down my back. It was frightening.
“Don’t kill her, Logan said he’d want her!” the leader screamed at a rogue who inched towards me.
Logan wanted me?
Why didn’t I realize that this was all Logan after all! He had always worked with Mi Vida’s group.
Was this a distraction of some sort?
Jaden was away, and I was here; was he trying to distract Black Hills so he’d get away with an attack?
My legs felt weak. I pushed away the burdening thoughts and stooped, to change into my wolf. “You better kill me, I’m not going to Logan.”
The rogues reformed the formation.
My wolf was about to push forward when an intimidating growl paused her. She rejoiced.
“Who’s that?” I asked, but then one of the rogues was tossed into the sky.
A wolf, as black as night, flew into the sky with the rogue and landed on him, squashing him.
The blood from the broken head spread on my face. The rogues faced the wolf.
“Why didn’t I notice that Jaden’s wolf is this dark?” I muttered, falling to the ground.
The open slash wound behind me was making it hard for me to rest comfortably against a tree. The rogues began retreating.
Jaden’s didn’t let them. Another blood, from a broken head, splashed on my face.
I dragged Mi Vida’s unconscious brother from Jaden’s way. He would be my hostage.
Three of the rogues escaped.
Chapter 156
The one who’d slashed me got his eyes popped from his head, under the paw of Jaden’s wolf.
I held onto Mi Vida’s brother to alert Jaden’s wolf that I didn’t want him killed,
Jaden’s wolf, after killing, sat on its hind legs, staring at me like a guilty dog.
“Oh yes, you hurt me in the last duel,” I said accusatorily. “Up till now, my sides still hurt.”
Should I have added that part? Did it insinuate I was weak? I heard his wolf whimper.
I cleared my throat. “Well, I understand if you have anger issues. Just, you know, remember I’m your mate!
He nodded. Was I talking to Jaden or his wolf?
“But you saved me now, so I’m glad,” I added.
My feet found strength, and I left the ground. This journey to Black Hills would have to come to an end.
I had reminisced on my old memories, but I had also argued with Edwin, Raymond, and Sasha. It wasn’t part of my plan.
Vanessa had been respectfully avoiding me; I appreciated it.
Now, I’d leave. Black Hills was no longer my home; Silver Pack was.
I kept Mi Vida’s brother on Jaden’s wolf. “Return him to my pack, please. I’d come with Camilla.”
He hesitated before turning to leave. I made sure he was gone before I backed him
My back was slashed; I did
n’t want him worrying when he’d see it. It’s weird I’m being conscious.
