Chapter Thirty NineBetter dead than alive in the rain.ElenaAfter what felt like an eternity, I finally reached the building where the meeting was being held. As expected, Blake's car was parked elegantly by a corner. I could only imagine what cruel fate awaited me now.In a blink I pushed through the door of the building, panting heavily, as sweats broke out from my brows."Um... please excuse me!". I whimpered as I ambled towards the young female wolf by the counter."Do you know what floor the Alpha council meeting is being held on?" I let out, as she stared at me, her gaze flicked with disdain."And what will a dirty slave like you be looking for in there?". She hissed as my knuckles turned white."How dare you call me a slave? I'm not a slave." I growled, or I tried to; it came out more as a wheeze."Well, the 'B' carved into your necks screams something else. Sorry slave, but you should get back to where you're coming from". She hissed as tears welled in my eyes.'Let's just g
Chapter FortyRuinedAsher"Water." My mom's voice sounded from her bed as I spun to my feet and brought her a glass of water.She drank it in one gulp."Where... where am I?" She stuttered."Calm down, Mom, you're in the castle hospital. I called the doctor in after you passed out." I mumbled as she nodded."Why, mother? Why didn't you tell me?". I hissed, as tears rolled down her eyes, and she looked everywhere except my face."Mother." I growled, my voice laced with pain and hurt."I'm sorry son, but I didn't need you worrying about me."."For how long have you been sick, Mother?" I hissed."For the past twenty years."."The doctors said there was no cure, and once your poison spread round, you will die." I cried, choking on my saliva. "Was that why you didn't want to help Ethan?". I asked, setting her a straight glare."I'm so sorry, son. That night you came back from the werewolf pack with that poison; I used almost all my strength treating you. And because of my poison that wa
Chapter Forty-OneMindlinked for the first time everElena."Let go of me. You're hurting me". I whimpered as tears stung my eyes and I fought to break free from Blake's stronghold."Just stop it, love; you're embarrassing us, and people are watching." Celine's voice broke in, but he paid deft ears, as his hands instantly lowered from my hair to my neck, strangling the life out of me."Ahhh...". I cried as pain tugged at my chest, and out of instincts to survive, I used all my last strength to raise my legs, kneeing him on his ground."Fuck it. You bitch". He whimpered as he released his grip on me, before crumbling to the ground a pile of nothing.In a blink, Celine rushed to his side. "My love, are you okay?". She murmured as he whimpered, rubbing his groin. "That bitch. That foolish, stupid, dirty slave, I will kill her once I get my hands on her." He growled as I inhaled a sharp breath.Celine slowly craned her neck towards me, and just as our eyes locked, she mouthed, 'There's
Chapter Forty-TwoA Brutal Warning ElenaI woke up to a splitting pain in my head as tears burned my eyes. I tried moving my body, but it was all too impossible. I blinked back a few times as my vision became focused.I froze in shock; I was tied so firmly to the protector of the dungeon, in such a way that I couldn't even move a finger. Before I could even ponder who did this and how I got here, my eyes drifted to Gina; she was sprawled unconscious on the ground opposite me. Her skin was pale, fresh blood was plastered tightly on her eyes, and numerous deep cuts adorned her skin.My tears fell as pain clutched my heart. Who did this?And just at the exact moment I pondered, my mind reeled back to a few hours ago, how I had mindlinked Gina to come to my rescue. Lydia must have done this to my friend; she risked her entire life just for me."Gina." I cried, as the steady clicks of heels echoed on the stairs; they must have been waiting to hear my voice before coming out.In a blink, L
Chapter Forty-ThreeA life for a lifeAsherTonight was the night the body of my beloved friend Ethan was going to be burnt and laid to rest. I felt so much guilt and pain well up inside me. Ethan didn't deserve any of this, and I was going to stop at nothing until I had avenged his death."Greetings, Prince Asher." A guard's voice called from outside my door, sounding fearful."Speak." I snapped as I spun to face the door."The Queen demands your presence in the living room." He shuddered. In a blink I strode towards the door and pushed it open before ambling to the living room.All the elders who will be following us for the burning of Ethan's body were already gathered in the living room."How are you feeling, son?" My mom mumbled as she rushed towards me."I'm fine, Mother. Let's just get this over with." I hissed as she nodded in understanding before spinning to face Alora, who was soaked in tears.I knew she might be having difficulty dealing with the death of Ethan. After her
Chapter Forty FourSchool Elena"Elena!!!". Blake's voice growled from outside my door as I shuddered. I've been dreading this moment ever since I arrived.I knew Blake was angry at me for the humiliation I had caused him, and he was going to stop at nothing until he had ruined me.In a blink, I pushed my door open and was greeted with a hot slap from Blake. "Ouch...". I whimpered as my cheeks burned, and tears stung my eyes."And why did it take you so long to come out?" He hissed as I opened my mouth to speak, but no words could form."Gosh, you're so useless; get out of my sight." He hissed as I spun to enter inside my room, but before I could even reach for the doorknob, he pulled me harshly by my hair as he dragged me down the stairs."Blake, please stop. I will walk; you're hurting me. Blake...". "You just never listen, you slave. How many times do I have to tell you never to call me by my name? He growled as he spat on my face.I shuddered once his disgusting spit touched my
Chapter Forty-FiveNo escape Elena."Oh, you're Noah's daughter. I am so sorry; please do well to forgive my rude startup. I'm Heilda, and I'm the course lecturer for History". She mumbled, as sweats broke from her brows.Genevieve simply smiled, an ugly one. "I will forgive you for today, but if you ever try to get on my bad side again, I promise it is going to be dirty. Is that clear?". She hissed as Heilda nodded before spinning to the rest of the class. "I want you all to meet Genevieve, as you've already heard her father owns part of the school, and you are all expected to accord her with respect and reverence.". She stated, as muffled noises and voices filled the classroom. Before a red-haired guy at the far end of the class took the bold step to speak up. "And who's that pig behind her? Did she miss her way?"."Yes, who is she? She looks like complete trash." Another voice broke out, and soon the entire class began to yell and question why I was here.Tears instantly filled
Chapter Forty-SixHidden Pregnancy Asher"Greetings, Prince Asher." Luca, one of Ethan's men, mumbled as he took the seat opposite me."What were you able to find?" I asked, as I scrolled through Ethan's personal computer, in search of any information that could lead me to knowing if he had any major issues with anyone that could have triggered the attack."A lot.". Luca mumbled, as I instantly tore my gaze from the computer and back to him, giving him my full attention."I was able to find out a lot of things, but the most important was the magical ball Ethan was working on. By just placing it at a single spot, it could light up and kill all werewolves, but the problem is no one knows where he had hidden the ball". He rasped, and before I could even reply, a young witch barged into my office with a baby in her arms, followed by two guards.My scowl was instant. Who gave them the audacity to barge into my office like that? Did they know I could snap their heads with just a swift flic
Chapter Hundred-TwentyfiveThe End.ElenaJust like a flash, 5.4.3.2.1, the Lycan king shifted into his Lycan beast as he lunged towards the demon king beast, slamming him to the ground. Lydia instantly released her grip on Rebecca, rushing to the demon king's aid, but before she could even strike an attack on the Lycan king, Ethan appeared out of nowhere, piercing his sharp fangs into her neck as it sank deep, causing her to cry and whimper.And without sparing a second, Alora instantly let go of Rebecca as she rushed to them, aiding me with the perfect opportunity to heal Rebecca of her poison as I drew level between us, my heart racing. In a second, I elongated my fangs, piercing them deep into one of my arms, before doing the same to Rebecca and mixing my blood in hers, but then nothing.I blinked, terrified. Wasn't this what Lena had instructed me to do? Could it be I got something wrong?And just then, Alora's chilling voice sounded a few inches away from me as she called out to
Chapter Hundred-Twentyfour The battle continues. ElenaBoom.I felt that familiar yet strange sensation stir inside me as happiness welled in my chest; my demonic beast was coming to life. Lydia seemed to notice the shift in energy as she rolled off me and raced away. My eyes don't trail her movements as a sudden chill grips me, followed by a piercing scream slipping off my lips.And soon, bones began to cover flesh as a wave of energy surged through me, and boom! I shifted into a hybrid of both my demonic beast and my white wolf, capturing everyone's attention as almost all bowed in reverence at the supremacy and power oozing out of me.In a blink I spotted Asher, lying helplessly on the ground, as the demon king towered above him, pressing him with all his weight such that he couldn't move. And that seemed to ignite anger inside my hybrid form as it took a leap towards them with one sole purpose in mind: to kill the demon king.I kept slamming everything in my way until I finally
Chapter Hundred-TwentythreeLet the battle begin ElenaI tear the paper to pieces, as I descended the stairs to the living room, but then Asher was no where to be seen. As if reading my thoughts Zayn ambled towards me."He went to the training ground with Ethan. Word just got out of how the demons had suddenly appeared in the werewolves pack and we're killing them ruthlessly, he thought it wise they trained harder to avoid such horrible circumstance".I stumbled backwards, as tears rolled off my eyes. I needed to put an end to this, and save werewolves, I knew they had hurt me, but my duty as the chosen one involved saving all creatures, that's why the Moon goddess had kept me till now. I couldn't go to the werewolves pack, while still protecting the warlocks, but the demons could always come to us at a fix place, so we ended this once and fall all.In a blink, I sent a mindlink across to Asher telling him to come to the living room."You seem stress Elena". Zayn murmured."The demon
Chapter Hundred-TwentytwoToo close for comfort.Elena.A sudden chill gripped me, and my hands instantly grew clammy as I led Asher into my room, slamming the door shut."Why would they even kidnap her?". He mumbled, no longer holding the tears in."Little Wolf, are you okay? Your body is heating.". He grumbled, panic evident in his voice as he scooted closer to me on the bed, wrapping a hand around my waist."I don't know, Asher, I think I need water." I snapped as he rushed quickly to the toilet tap and fetched a glass of water for me, rushing towards me as he poured the water in my mouth. In one gulp I drank it."Are you okay, little wolf?". He asked again, as I shook my head, goosebumps crawled up my skin. This was the exact feeling I felt before Rebecca was kidnapped. Something terrible was about to befall us all if we didn't act quickly, and I could feel it."Little Wolf.". He mumbled, holding my face in his hands this time."I'm worried, baby; I'm so worried. We shouldn't
Chapter Hundred-Twentyone Time is ticking Asher"Kiara just mindlinked me. The demon's invaded the cavern and they took Rebecca with them". He murmured, as I shook my head, instantly turning my gaze to my little wolf."We need to return back to the Cavern immediately"."Is everything okay". Zayn, my supposed father murmured, as I shook my head, struggling to keep my tears at bay, I couldn't afford anything happening to my beloved mother."The Queen just got kidnapped by demons". Ethan answered, as Zayn face clenched."I will be returning with you to your Cavern". He stated curtly, and without a word I strode out of his office my hands intwined with my little wolf. She gives me a light pat on my back.'Everything will be okay baby I promise'. She mumbled through our mindlink, as I smiled at her.In a blink we all entered into my Mercedes as I drove to the Cavern in so much speed, I removed the key from the ignition as the vehicle came to a halt in the castle surrounding. I instantly
Chapter Hundred-TwentyA step behindElenaHe slowly inhaled a sharp breath as he placed a knock on the door. The Lycan king's response was immediate; "Come in.". He growled, his voice laced with so much power and authority I felt the hairs on the back of my neck stand. Asher swallowed an instant bile not from fear, but the sadness and nervousness that came from seeing his father again; I slowly pushed closer to him as I entwined our hands, pulling the doorknob open with my other hand.In a blink, Asher and I entered inside the Lycan king's office with Ethan trailing behind us."Have a seat.". The Lycan king mumbled, with a stern expression on his face, as Asher's features darkened."I'm better off standing.". He hissed."It wasn't a request but an order; have a seat, boy.". He growled, as Asher's nose flared and his knuckles turned white. I placed a hand slightly on his waist.'Breathe, baby, breathe.'. I grumbled through our mindlink as Asher inhaled steady breaths.'Now let
Chapter Hundred-NineteenDad or Lycan king?Elena"Please, baby... Stop.". I whimpered as he slowly pulled his lips away from mine, and I struggled to catch my breath."I'm not yet done with you, little wolf. We will continue again once we are back". He rasped, as I felt his raised to my cheeks, continue could mean anything; probably kissing or even making love. I blushed harder at the thought."I wish I could read your mind too, so I would know what's always on your mind that makes you blush all the time.".I let out a small chuckle. "Oh please, my mind isn't as dirty as yours; now let's get going.".In a blink, Asher led me through the door, our hands entwined as we descended the stairs."And where are the two lovebirds going to?". Ethan rasped as a bright smile curled on the corners of his lips, although his thoughts weren't so bright. 'If only I hadn't let Gina go, then this would have been us.'. I flashed him a reassuring smile, and as my mind reeled towards Gina, I hoped she
Chapter Hundred-EighteenBig Apple ElenaI slowly became aware of a splitting pain in my temples as a hard surface leaned further into me. Slowly, I shifted my head, but instantly regretted it as the pain seemed to further increase. In a blink, my eyes fluttered open as they came to rest on an unfamiliar curtain.Suddenly memories came flickering in. Asher and I had done it; we had successfully completed our mating process. I couldn't smile the smile that crept up my face at the realization that we could truly say we were mates and my full potentials were now in me, only waiting to be unleashed.Inhaling a deep breath, I craned my neck to face Asher, who was sprawled naked beside me, and the sight of him instantly made me wet again as desire surged through me. A replay of last night began to resurface in my head, as a blush crept up my cheeks."So you also stare at me in my sleep.". He stated suddenly as his eyes fluttered open. I quickly looked away; I couldn't believe he caught
Chapter Hundred-SeventeenThe Demon King SeedAsher"Baby, what's going on?". I shuddered as sweats broke all over me, and I was forced to crane my neck in submission; I couldn't even dare to look into her eyes for more than a second. She was taller, bigger, more intimidating, had horns on either side of her head, an eye that blazed fire, and sharp fangs that could easily slice. Her entire skin was equally covered in black and red fangs.Out of the corner of my eye, I saw her shadow amble closer to me as I shuddered; she gently placed her hands on my shoulder, causing adrenaline to surge through me as I looked up; her eyes were wet with tears as she instantly sent a mindlink.'And still the same person, Asher, don't you recognize me? Why are you suddenly acting so scared?'. I felt my heart break at the sad tone of her voice; I had made a promise never to hurt her again.'I'm so sorry, love, it's just that this whole thing was so unexpected. I didn't know you were equally a hybrid of
