Half Brothers
Chapter Hundred and Seventy-Four - Half Brothers
Rihanna's POV
Hunter held my body tightly as I picked up speed again. I smiled internally, then slowed down, and he loosened up.
It was just me tormenting the poor child.
He had earlier said it was his first time on a horse and wanted it to be memorable.
Well, it would be so memorable that it could be his last time ever wanting to be atop a horse.
"We are almost there, endure the discomfort, okay?" I said, turning to pat his head.
He made small noises, but I felt his head nod.
We arrived at the Black Rose border, or at least close to it.
"We are here, Hunter."
Just then, I felt an energy speed toward me. A Lycan energy. I jumped down from my horse.
I pulled out the sword I brought with me from Sun Burn Kingdom-the Lycan Slayer.
I had stance. But it couldn't be Logan daring to come around the Black Rose pack after killing their Beta. But I wasn't taking chances.
Seeing the Lycan wasn't making himself known, I flung my sword at a shrub and ran toward it.
Someone groaned in pain, and as I ran there, I initiated my barrier, pushing whoever it was back.
I found my sword on a root and grabbed it, then immediately pointed it at the intruder.
Llárm?"
"Okay, I like you now." He grunted, holding his arm that my sword had pierced.
He liked me? I didn't need his 'like'.
I pointed the sword at his neck. "Why are you here? Don't you know how things are at Black Rose? How dare a Lycan show his face here!"
He tried to remove the sword from his face, but I kept it in place. "Answer me! Are you working with Logan? You are his son, after all."
His eyes darkened on me, and he slapped the sword away. I backflipped and caught it before it went too far, then pointed it at him again.
"Were you annoyed by that? Good."
He rose up from the ground, still holding his arm. "I hate when people here term my value by my father's deeds."
I dropped my sword.
"At Sun Burn, not all thought I'd be as great as my mom. But here, you all are sure I'm
as bad as my dad. He didn't even raise me!" he yelled.
I related to that too, though in quite different ways. My father was a Beta, but not all thought I could be.
"So why are you here?"
"I heard Ralph died. I never got to see him, but he was Jaden's Beta, so surely important to him," he replied.
"And you thought to see him while you are a Lycan?" I snickered.
"Jaden never treated me like 'a Lycan'. And just 'cause all the Lycans you met wanted
you dead doesn't mean we are all like that." The boy told me.
I began strolling off back to the horse, not paying heed to him.
Hunter was trying to climb down when I caught him just in time before he fell. "This one is..."

me.
Hunter was Logan's son, and so was Liam. They were half-brothers. But he shouldn't know.
Liam stooped to him. "The boy's a Lycan." He closed his mouth. "Did you know already?"
I nodded. "Yeah, he has a wild wolf, so I brought him for Jaden to train. They both understand each other really well..."
"Let me train him!" Liam raised his hand. "He'd be like my little brother."
He literally was. "No, I'm sorry, but he's of my pack, you aren't. And what qualifications do you have to train him?"
"I am the young prince of Sun Burn Kingdom, under Lycan jurisdiction!" Liam bragged. Say what now? I shook my head again.
Someone was walking toward us, and my heart skipped a beat, realizing it was Jaden.
I wasn't sure why my heart skipped, if it was a sudden fear I sensed,
Or the realization that would tell Liam that Hunter was his brother, but why would I be scared of that?
"Jaden!" Hunter left me and ran to hug him.
I turned to Jaden, but he immediately missed my gaze. What was that?
"Hey, Liam. I was coming to look for you. We needed to talk about something urgent," he spoke to Liam, ignoring me?
"Hunter's wolf went wild, again." I slapped his arm slightly, then came in front of him.
He looked at my direction but not at me. "That's bad." He gazed at the boy who looked guilty. "But we know it's not Logan, so just train him."
Liam's ears perked up. "Logan? What did my dad do to the boy?"

I shook my head at Jaden as he smiled, realizing their connection.
"Logan turned me into a bad wolf!" Hunter explained himself.
I rushed to close his mouth and pulled him away from Jaden. "Look, I'm really not in
the mood today, so Liam, could you come back..."
Jaden covered Hunter's ears and muttered, "Hunter is a son of Logan. The one I told you your dad raped his mother."
He released his hands from Hunter's ears. "That's why he's a good boy." He said and rubbed his head.
Hunter gazed at me perplexed but grinned at the hearty compliment. I wanted to facepalm in disappointment.
Liam blinked and then maintained steady eye contact with the boy. "So, he's my..." Jaden covered Hunter's ears again. "Yes, your brother. But he shouldn't know all this until he's older. Psychological defects are plenty."
"Psychological defects? 'Cause he's Logan's son or what?" Liam was growing annoyed. "Because his mother had him through rape and then was killed by Logan. His mother, her mate, and his other brothers!" I yelled.
Both Liam and Jaden paused, stunned. He took his hands from Hunter's ears, and they watched the boy in pity.
"If you are sad because my wolf acted out again, I promise it won't happen again." Hunter mumbled at Jaden.
Liam sighed, then ruffled Hunter's hair. "So, Alpha, I'd be visiting your pack more often than I intended to. Please tell Dara to let me in."
No matter how I didn't want it, I knew I couldn't stop it. No thanks to Jaden.
"And am I the only one noticing?" Liam turned to Jaden. "There's another Lycan amongst us."
I closed Hunter's ears so he wouldn't catch that, but then I processed it in my head and frowned. "Wait, what do you mean?"
"I was actually scared to break it to you, but I've accepted it for the better if I am. It
was a gift from the moon goddess, after all," Jaden said.
What were he and Liam yapping about? "Which other Lycan?"
I snt my hands ready to throw hands. Any other Lycan wasn't welcome here.
What do you think?
