Chapter 120

Silver.

Lucianne shouted her lungs out as she charged for the next rogue, “Wolves! Watch out for silver! They're coming! Ten blades! Maybe more!”

Most rogues were stunned to hear that. Some of them even got distracted as they exchanged glances with each other and linked, "How did she know?". Their people with the blades haven't even come out of the forest yet.

The wolves defending Forest Gloom grew cautious, keeping an eye out for silver. Xandar gave the order for Lycans to shield any wolf from silver blades should they see the blades coming first. Silver only causes a slight itch for Lycans so they can be used as a shield for their cousin species.

As Lucianne tore a rogue’s throat, she received a mind-link from Juan. “Lucy, how are things looking?’

“Not a good time, Juan!” She linked back in annoyance and continued, They're led by..." she pounced on another rogue attacking Beta Nina before she continued, “Jake and Iris.

There was a pause, and Lucianne thought he ended their link when she broke the rogue’s neck, until her brother's surprised voice came through, “They're alive?’

“Well and angry

Juan scoffed as he said in amusement, Jake's still taking your “no’ to heart, huh? Iris must be pretty mad, too. She's always been jealous of you, you know? Maybe.

“Juan, can we do this later?! Better yet, let's not do this at all!

Yeah, okay. I'll let you get to it, little sis. But please be careful.’

When the mind-link ended, Lucianne extended her claws and leaped from the ground before impaling into the nape of a Lycan fighting Phelton, causing it to lose its balance as Phelton gave one forceful kick, throwing the rogue Lycan into the coursing river. Phelton’s animal threw the Queen a grateful smile before moving on to the next rogue. Lucianne then ran towards the scent of silver, which were where most of the wolves were. Xandar saw his mate sprinting towards the wolves, and realized that the Lycan warriors were not evenly spread out

across the field to defend his mate's species.

The King mind-linked his kind, demanding that they get rid of their opponents as quickly as they could to get to the wolves sooner. Xandar’s initial plan was to torture his opponents to death but with silver present, he couldn't afford to spend too much time with each rogue. He threw two rogues forcefully at the boulders in the river, and they died instantly. Seeing that the King could kill two at once, the rogues started coming in fours.

Xandar used the techniques Lucianne and Toby taught him in their human forms and found that even in his animal form, he could beat the rogues with ease, sending all four into the coursing river where the current washed away their dead bodies. The Lycan warriors were speeding up their attacks, trying to get rid of their opponents as soon as they could to get to their Queen and her kind.

The first silver blade Lucianne detected was held by a shifted Lycan. She never practiced combat with a Lycan’s animal with her human before so she decided to just give it a go with whatever little knowledge she had on their weak spots. The Lycan saw her coming and when she drew close, it tried to stab her but

Lucianne leaped from the ground and the blade missed her, much to Xandar's relief.

He was trying to get rid of three rogue wolves which were annoyingly fast as he glanced over at his mate from time to time. Lucianne managed to leap on the rogue’s shoulder and she pulled its ears with force as i t howled in pain. She read about the soft bone in that area, and how Lycans lose their balance when their ears are pulled at a certain angle, and that it would cause them a great deal of pain.

When Lucianne smelled more silver coming, she tore the rogue’s ears as it howled in anguish when the rest of its comrades growled in anger. They pushed away the defenders and sped to their friend. However, before they reached Lucianne and the rogue, Lucianne flipped herself off its shoulders before throwing a kick in his chest, and its body slammed against a boulder near the riverbank, its blade falling from his lifeless grip.

Lucianne took the blade immediately and went for the rogue wolves who were attacking her friends. She stabbed two who were attacking Clement, and another three attacking Raden. The rogue wolves seemed t 0 have mind-linked and told each other that Lucianne had a blade. They retreated, letting their rogue Lycan counterparts continue the attack.

“Babe, the silver. Where is it coming from?’Xandar linked Lucianne between breaking the rogue’s limbs and necks.

“Where I got rid of the first one holding it!"

With an authoritative howl into the dark sky, Xandar sent his warriors to the location where the first rogue with a silver blade was killed. The Lycan warriors howled in compliance to their King’s command, and sped there.

As Lucianne, Clement and Tate got ready to attack the rogue Lycan charging towards them, a growl came from the side before Iris's ginger fur wolf pounced on Lucianne. Lucianne was thrown on the ground, and Iris wasted no time scratching Lucianne’s face with her sharp claws. Thankfully, Lucianne closed her eyes so she didn't go blind.

Suddenly, Iris’s claws hung in the air, and as much as she tried to plunge her claws into Lucianne’s being, she couldn't. They were stuck mid-air. What was worse for Iris was that she seemed to be shifting back, involuntarily. Her fur was shortening and disappearing, and her wolf face started morphing into her human one.

Lucianne didn't think much of it, and reached for the silver knife she dropped not far away before stabbing Iris in her heart. With a tormenting scream, the partly-shifted Iris lost strength, and Tate kicked her body away as Clement helped Lucianne up after they had just killed the rogue Lycan from earlier.

Lucianne’s curious eyes scanned the place for an explanation of Iris halting her attack and her shifting back mid-fight. Suddenly, the three of them caught Iris's last words spoken in a strained voice, “You. Idiot.” Lucianne and the two Alphas thought that those words were directed to Tate at first, until they followed Iris's sights to her brother, Jake
