Chapter Seventy Three
Threatened
Rihanna’s POV
I heard the howl. Ray’s howl. It sent shivers down my spine, and my wolf was charged.
“Alpha, should we retreat from the borders?” Dara asked me through mind link.
I replied immediately, leaving my bed. “Yes, all should refeat. I’m coming out.”
I was yet to know what exactly Ray was warning me about, but Lana was already agitated, so it wasn’t a good thing.
“Ray! Ray!!” I searched for my twin through telepathy. If he was close, then we should connect.
“Rihanna, an eight–foot Lycan,is coming your way… he stopped,” he said as we connected.
I stopped my steps as well. An eight–foot Lycan? My blood ran cold for a second. Coming to kill me?
“He wants to meet with you,” Ray spoke again.
I rushed towards my border. “Did he say for what reason?”
“He needs your help.”
My help? Wait, was he coming here for sanctuary? That would be a bit of a problem. We made no room for him, literally.
“But he wouldn’t be making it, Rih. Never mind,” Ray said again and switched off mind link.
What did he intend to do?
“Let’s go help out,” Lana warned. “Ray sounds like he’s alone. A Lycan that was able to break out of Black Hills is no ordinary one.”
Already outside the palace, I mind linked to Beatrice to keep all wolves within the pack to avoid casualties. I also halted Camilla from getting to the border and told her to remain at Boots and Rivers Market until everything was cleared.
I shifted to my wolf and sprinted off to my border; my paws broke down each rock and twig it came across. As I got closer, I heard my border being broken into. My jaw fell; that border took us three days to mold, and something broke through?
“Ray, end him. He’s going too far!” I heard someone scream. That was Chris. What was he doing here?
I initiated a barrier ready to collide with the Lycan. He was crossing past his limits.
There was a knock–out. Someone was thrown off; it distracted me, and I loosened my barrier. Chris began screaming again. “Ray!
Ray!!”
What did that Lycan do to my brother? Was it Ray that was knocked out like a bag of meat? With my barrier, I charged at his
direction.
A huge black wolf appeared in front of me, snarling and growling in dominance, but he was messing with the wrong wolf. I bent my head to head–butt him, but my barrier met with him first.
In honesty, I wasn’t expecting him to fly feet into the air and land on his back, but that’s what happened. My barrier ‘t that

heavy, or surely didn’t have such a reaction on other wolves.
I slowed down, checking and pinning his head with my claws. Its eye were red, heavily red, and all kinds of hatred emanated from them.
“Rihanna, Ray needs help!” I turned to see Chris. He was in human form and only had small shorts on.
I rolled my eyes, so he was with Ray? I rushed to help my brother, but the Lycan groaned. It was helpless and couldn’t move.
“That wolf is a liar,” Chris pointed out. “He’s not as weak as he claims.”
Using Lana’s wolf vision, I checked for his inner energy and saw he was internally injured. It looked like a rupture from the impact on my barrier.
“My barriers seem to hit him well,” Lana bragged, leaving him to check on Ray.
Chris slightly panicked seeing us leave then left with me. We were able to take Ray back to my pack. The Lycan, Camilla, and her warrior carried him. He didn’t even try to fight it when he was placed in prison.
“He wanted to meet you,” Chris said to me after I shifted. I wrapped the cloak I had tightly around my body; he shouldn’t even see a skin. Dara threw a long coat on him so he’d hide his abs; no one cared.
“I’d meet with him after my brother is okay. Tell me, how exactly did he escape an Alpha King?” I asked, ending with a scoff.
Chris was staring at Ray’s breathing chest. “Your brother will survive hear the Lycan, but don’t hesitate to kill it if it tries escaping.”
Was he seriously telling me what to do with a Lycan I found at my pack? Who hurt my own brother?
“Don’t give me orders! And since when did you care! Are you scared of receiving hate when you willingly accepted the Lycan?”
I barely finished my words when Chris grabbed my neck and pinned me to the wall.
Lana took over and scratched his chest, but it only made his grip tighter on my neck.
“Don’t frustrate me, Rihanna!” he barked at me.
“It’s Your Silver to you!” I kicked him with my legs, and he backed out.
I made to attack again, but Beatrice held me. I didn’t know she was inside. She was glaring at Chris.
“That Lycan will be killed after you hear what it wants to say. I don’t want to repeat myself!” Chris ordered again.
I tried to shove Beatrice’s hands off, but she held me tightly. She sighed, still glaring at Chris. “It’s funny how you bring your trouble to us to fix, then try to hurt our Alpha.”
Chris paid her no attention and patted Ray. “I’d leave when he’s awake…”
What the hell? “No, you’d leave now!” I shouted, pointing at the door. “He’s my brother and would stay….”
“He’s my Beta and will leave when I do!” He shut me up.
“I don’t give a damn about him being your Beta, Chris! Haven’t you noticed that you being Alpha King is the only reason you’re breathing in front of me!” My hair jumped as 1 screamed.

Chris smirked, looking down at his hands then up at me again. “It’s good you’ve respect then.”

Respect? His left brain must be dead. “It’s not respect, it’s just cause can’t kill you… yet! And goddess help you when I can. I won’t
wait to!”
Beatrice exhaled as I said those words. She pulled me away from Chs as he smirked again. “You dare me?”
“I threaten you,” I took a step towards him, but Beatrice pulled me back again.
Chris chuckled, looking from Beatrice to me and then Dara. “So it’s a gang up? I’d keep it in mind. And since you can’t kill me, I’d stay here, waiting for my Beta.”
My fists clenched, and with my claws out, it dug into my skin, but didn’t feel the pain, only rage.
“Your rage is nothing,” Chris mocked, then wa-
lked away. “And do tell me whatever that Lycan says.”
