Chapter 58


    Chapter 58


    I stood there watching Rita. I hate that I brought her into this, but she had a score to settle with the King


    herself. Who was I to stop her? I had my own to settle with him. She was sitting in our normal spot


    eating dinner already and I found myself smiling. I guess being casted out was a good thing after all. I


    was in too deep and Dexter was just way too imbnced to reason with. I might as well see things


    through. If things get too deep and I notice we are going to lose the battle, we leave immediately.


    Rita and I hatched a n together to stay together. No matter what. Yes, her magic abilities were not


    the strongest, but she could still do a few simple things. Enough to keep us protected at the very least.


    A spell she was working on would make us seem invisible to anyone around us. I would have to carry


    her in my arms to get us away as far as possible and as fast as I could. She made me a copy cat pill


    that gave me the strength of two lycans. It took a little to get into my system and I contemted taking


    the next pill now. I could not exin it but something was telling me to do so.


    I sighed to myself and looked around the room. Candace was a mess and seemed all over the ce.


    She was walking out the door in a furious rage. The word is that Dexter rejected her. I was honestly


    surprised that he did such a thing. I guess he really had his mind set on Avalynn after all.


    “/”*t. / wish we had never hooked up with him. We were just so angry and upset. We were never ready


    to take over the pack. We should have just gone with Rita and took off somewhere down south.” My


    wolf was annoyed. We acted on our rage and now look where we are. Up shits creek and without a


    damn paddle.


    I nodded my head absentmindly to what he said. Just then Rita turned to look at me and she smiled. I


    smiled back at her and nodded my head over to where the food was located. I walked over and made


    two tes of food. My stomach growled at the sight of all the delicious and mouthwatering food on my


    two tes. I walked over and sat down next to Rita andughed softly as she eyed my food.


    “You eat a lot.” She nodded over to my two rounded full tes that sat in front of me.


    “You think I eat a lot? Look at some of these Lycan dishes. Some of them have, like, three or four.


    Depending on how big or young he or she is. If they are super active, they will have all the food.”


    “Yeah, I saw that.” She smiled and took a chicken strip off of my te, popping half of it into her mouth.

    “Hey! That was mine.” i let out a yful growl, causing her tough.


    After dinner, we walked our way up to our room. She rmended me to go ahead and get the stuff


    she made for me and take it. We walked into our room and looked around the room. We walked out to


    the balcony of our room and looked down below us. People were walking around and chatting. The sun


    was in the beginning stages of setting. It was making a beautiful picture against the contrast of the tall


    trees. Ritaid her head against my shoulder and happily sighed.


    “You should really go ahead and take that blend I made for you. I did switch up that other witch’s


    recipe. I hope that it is better for you.” She spoke softly.


    “I just hate the way it makes me feel. I don’t feel in control,” I said honestly.


    “I understand, it is because you are a wolf with the power of two lycans. It takes over who you are. You


    are an angry person with everyone but me. It can bring out the worst. I am sorry if it affects you in this


    way. I don’t have the time to change it.” She lifted her head and walked back inside for a moment.


    When she came back outside, she handed me some water and the herbal blend in pill form. I took it


    and was thankful I didn’t have to taste it this time. It was pretty nasty and made me gag. It was one of


    the


    nastiest things I have ever had in my mouth. It was definitely easier to swallow this way.


    “Thank you Ri.” I took it and downed it with the water she brought to me.


    We stood there for a few moments as I watched the sun starting to set. Beautiful hues of pinks and


    purples began to paint the sky above. I was just about to tell Rita how thankful I was for her and what


    she meant to me when an explosion sounded at the northern side of the boarder wall.


    “What the hell?” Rita asked.


    I looked down as panic shot through the crowd below, women and children running and screaming for


    help. Warriors who were walking below shifted and made their way to where smoke was rising in the


    air. I looked over to Rita and kissed her softly.


    “We need to find Brennon and take out his men.” She nodded her head.


    Come to find out Brennon beat Rita when she was younger, nearly killing her, after her family was


    murdered by him and the dead King. She never borated why they were murdered, but I did not care.


    I was going to at least avenge her and her suffering tonight with Brennon. The other, well, i handled


    that with her help and that dead witch’s help.


    I shifted as we walked through the hallway. I could feel the magic already beginning to work. Luckily


    enough, it was quicker this time around. It must be one of the slight adjustments she made to the


    form. My body began shifting its shape as we walked, moving to arge lycan. I sniffed the air and


    moved to where his scent was strongest.


    We found him in the room and when our eyes locked, he nodded to his men. “It is time? I heard the


    explosion.” I gave him a nod and he sighed. “Men go to your stations. Prepare for battle.”


    We watched as they left and I let out a deadly growl when he took a step closer to us. He looked taken


    back from the sudden change in my friendliness. He was very vulnerable in his human form and I could


    get him easily now. I took a step towards him and he took three back.


    “Ryder, what are you doing?” He asked in a serious tone.


    Rita spoke to him then “He is rectifying our little situation. Do you remember, about six years ago, the


    family you ripped apart?”


    Brennon frowned and before he could speak Rita spoke over him, “Of course you don’t. Why would


    you? My family didn’t mean anything to you. But you sure seemed to love beating an innocent child to


    near death. You hindered my ability to grow my magical powers as a witch. You burned my home with


    all of the books that I needed for me to learn. I have taught myself some magic, along with stealing


    books here and there. But I have dreamed of the day that my family’s murderers and the man that


    nearly killed me finally dies for so many years now. Ryder, now.” She spoke with venomced with


    every word she spoke. She was angry and I could smell the fearing from Brennon.


    I stepped towards him and when he started to shift, knowing that if he didn’t he would never stand a


    chance against me, I attacked him. I locked my jaws at his throat and mped down. My canines dug


    in and broke his skin as blood trickled down into my fur. I felt him struggle against me as he howled out


    of pain, trying to free himself. I took my ws and dug them deep into his chest.I scrapped bone,


    ripping the skin away from his body.


    “End it Ryder and let’s go.” Rita hissed at me.


    I could hear a full-blown war happening now outside as warriors were shouting where to cover and


    what to look out for. Another explosion sounded and this time it shook the walls. Pictures fell to the


    floor, the ss covering shattering as itnded. I looked at Rita and did as she asked me to do.


    Ilocked my jaw as I knew I had a good chunk of his throat in my mouth and twisted with a crack and rip.


    I slung the meat of his neck out and behind me as he fell to the ground below me. I broke his neck in


    the process and now he is lying beneath me, dead. I stepped back away from him as Rita walked over


    to his body and kicked him with all of the force she could muster. I don’t know why, but it made me


    smile


    inside. He deserved that and I hoped that he could feel it even in death.


    “We need to leave, now.” She told me as she ced her hand on me and chanted a spell. It felt like a


    nice warm feeling was ced over me. Like a thick fuzzy nket and I looked down at her. “It is done,


    we are invisible to almost everyone.” She told me.


    I took that as my cue, picking her up in my arms. She was so lightweight, almost like a feather, it was


    easy. I dashed out the door and headed south to where there was no one. I clicked the button to open


    the gate and when it opened another force of warriors were there along with a woman who I had seen


    before. The warriors looked around confused but the woman’s head tilted as she looked at us.


    “s**t! It’s Miranda! I thought she was dead!” I said. “The witch?” Rita’s voice cracked.


    Just like that, she uncloaked us with a twist of her wrist. She had to know we were there, the gate just


    didn’t open itself. I needed to warn Dexter and we needed to get out of here.


    I backed up and took off, running back in the direction we came from with Rita still in my arms. I heard


    multiple people running after us before they pounced onto my back. Teeth and ws sunk into me and


    I let out a deadly growl. They made me drop Rita and she cried out in pain as her head connected with


    a rock. I was restrained by four lycans momentster. I watched as one picked up Rita and carried her


    off, blood covering her face. I struggled to get away but was given a heavy dose of wolfsbane and soon


    everything was dark.
