But it had the prophecy in full.
“Where did you get this?” I asked Jaden as he came out in human form. Thankfully, he had a shirt and shorts on.
“My librarians searched all night for it. Some might have gotten sick from inhaling dust,” he chuckled.
I looked up. “Do wolves get sick? Like, bad health? How bad could it be?”
He halted his steps as he walked toward me. “Where do you live? Wolves can get sick, but like any ailment or injury, we recover
fast.”
That was the problem. The Lycan sounded like his sickness had been ongoing, and he had been searching for a solution.
Since being at Red Moon and Black Hills, his sole duty must have been to find a way to get to me. Perhaps that was why he acted
weak.
“The last prophecy, I don’t get it. After all the heroic things the Silver Wolf will do, it ends with, ‘Or must the story be this way?‘
Really?”
Was the prophet writing a book while reporting revelations?
“I believe he means there was a way to avert the prophecy entirely of change how it would end,” Jaden suggested.
Those were deep words coming from him. I smiled. “I guess. But as the main character in this, I’m yet to see the evil.”
Not that I couldn’t wait to fulfill a prophecy–I had a lot of time. But wasn’t I supposed to meet trials and hassles first?
“I suspect it will rise soon. It could have been avoided, yet we let it become a revengeful, hateful beast…”
Why did that conjure a picture? I turned toward the direction of the prison.
“Have someone in mind?” Jaden asked.
I faced him and nodded. “The Lycan you wanted to see. He gave me an offer I’ll be refusing. I’m sure it won’t sit well with him.”
Jaden frowned, gazing toward the prison hold. “It’s dangerous for you to be around that Lycan. And Dara said he came to you- what’s the full story?”
I smiled, folding my arms. “He was chased here by Chris and Ray. Ray’s injured, and the Lycan wanted to talk. His offer was
ridiculous.”
I didn’t know which part made Jaden’s frown deepen, but I’d assume it was Ray getting hurt.
“Chris is here again?”
Or maybe not. He definitely frowned at Chris being here.
I shrugged, slapping my thighs. “He put up a fight when I wanted him to leave and forced me to ask the Lycan for the offer.”
I`rolled my eyes at the thought. “I won’t be telling him, though. He should try to kill me again–this time in front of my brother.”
“Killing you?” Jaden asked in disbelief.

Chapter 101
I faced him and raised my heal so he’d see the slight scar. Maybe 1s being petty, but everyone had to know Chris laid hands on
- me.
With his index finger, Jaden brushed over the bruise, Sparks rose within me at the gesture.
He examined it tenderly before breathing out. “I’m sorry about that you should let it heal.”
I nodded, looking down. “And until we figure out what exactly the prophecy means, or how to answer the Lycan, I’ll just keep this
scroll.”
He nodded. “What was his offer?”
“Transferring energy through sorcery to him. If not, he dies. He’s very ill,” I listed, watching Jaden’s face for a reaction.
“That Lycan is shady. Energy transfer always has an aftereffect on the user. So does sorcery. He’d leave you almost wasted,” Jaden
stated,
Lana made an approving yelp, and I nodded in agreement. Since I wasn’t agreeing, I’d better think of how to tell Logan.

I think that us supposed to be, not that Jaden and I are actually a thing.
