Chapter forty-seven“Why did you choose him?” Steven asked as they left the dungeon, the guards had been so shocked to see them walking out with the elder and one of them had rushed off to call the alpha while another went to get the man some clothes to change into.“If we stay to talk about this and my father happens to show up, trust me, we won’t be going to Black Wind pack and I would really love to do it today. You guys are leaving tonight and I would want your mom to meet that surprise at home,” she winked.Steven chuckled at that and nodded, “fine, we will talk along the way. Besides, I can tell from your eyes that you want us to use the secret tunnels.”“Of course, it’s faster and also would keep us out of the eyes of everyone. Something tells me that the news of me healing Eric must have traveled to other packs. The last thing I want is the tearful eyes of mates begging me to heal their mates. It’s been hard avoiding the ones from my pack; I don’t want to add extras.”Steven l
Just like Rasmus had said, when they got back to Sean’s apartment, there was no sign of the demons. “Sean,” Alan called seeing them approached and noticing that he was carrying someone on his back. However, his hope was gone when he saw the physic of the person he was carrying and he knew it was not Aliyah. Sean put down Steven and Rasmus put down Mattew while Irene climbed down from his back. “We have to detoxify the poison,” she said immediately.“Where is Aliyah?” Alan asked as Sean shifted back into human and took the blanket that was handed to him by a guard.“I didn’t meet her, she was gone by the time I got there. I only saw Steven and Elder Mattew like this and sadly, Gideon is gone,” he announced.The other guard that had left to call Alan couldn’t believe his ears, Gideon had been alive and just fine minutes ago and now he was… his heart felt the pain but he tried to stay strong as he wondered how he would relay the news to their mother.Alan shook his head, “I can’t believe
“How could you have lost her to Maleeka?” Idrissa yelled at Gaziah who was kneeling in front of him while holding a little baby.“I am sorry, My King. I had wanted to go for the mother right after getting the son. I had wanted to blackmail her into coming with me with her son. I didn’t think Medlyn would act fast.” Gaziah explained with his head lowered.“Gaziah is right my king. I am sure that if it wasn’t for Medlyn, his plan would have worked. Which mother would refuse going with you to save her son?” A woman sitting on the foot of the throne smiled up at the king. “His plan would have been perfect.”Idrissa sighed and rubbed his temple. “I didn’t say the plan was bad, but this boy has only been in existence for a period of days, I don’t think the vampire prince had grown a strong bond with him. Now his mate is certain because of how he has always been protecting her. At this rate, I am afraid we would lose to Maleeka.”“If my king would listen to my suggestion, I have a way we can
Edward sat on his favorite chair in his palace with his eyes closed. A blue light of fire enveloped him like a shield and his eyes were closed. Veins popped out on his face and his hands that were tightly clenching onto the chair arms. He seemed to be unconscious but he was showing out expression of being in pain. After a long time, he gasped and snapped his eyes open and the fire light vanished immediately.He panted, his eyes a blue fire for a while before slowly dimming down to midnight blue. He closed his eyes once more with a shallow pant and placed his head on the headrest. After some minutes, he sat up on the chair and opened his eyes and then he tried summoning his nightwalker’s powers. His eyes flickered between red and blue continuously until blood sipped from his nose and he grunted in pain and shut his eyes, his clenched fist giving away and he fell weakly from his chair onto the floor. “I need more energy,” he whispered in pants.His tired eyes glanced around him, “energy
“I am not understanding Irene, what does it have to do with the rat demons?” Sean asked quietly.“The rat demons are famous for being able to project anything they touched or project anything by touching something related to that thing by blood or a strong bond,” Rasmus answered.“So, the python King has Asher and he is the one that involved the rat demons. Does it mean that he wants the rat demons to project Aliyah?” Alan asked.“Yes and my guess, they want to use it on Edward, meaning that the cat queen having the real Aliyah means nothing because the python king now has Asher and the fake Aliyah. Edward would likely give up the throne to him to have them back,” Irene explained.“Wow, he is smart,” Steven nodded.“What do you expect, he has been ruling long before Maleeka became the cat queen so of course he knows the sly ways more. Besides, we can’t forget his origin, he is a snake.”“My, my, so it’s true,” A voice said and Irene and the rest shut up immediately as they watched Ma
“No,” Vertimon cried as he climbed out of the hole and saw the snake palace enveloped in blue flame and innocent young snakes were running out and screaming. “No,” He yelled and his eyes turned bright yellow as he slowly rose midair. A big whooshing sound was heard and before long, water was flowing towards them at rapid speed, passing through the forest and breaking down trees with its force. It splashed against the snake palace and soon enveloped it like a ball, keeping the blue fire away and quenching the one inside. “Hurry up and stop him, I can’t hold on like this forever,” he yelled.Hearing that, his entourage quickly started attacking Edward and with their attacks, he lost his focus on the palace to fade them off. His blows were brutal but the men and women were not giving up, using the element of water to their advantage by quenching any fire that he started. Seeing that only made Edward angrier as he could see he can’t get through to them. He quickly closed his eyes and in a
“No!” Idrissa and Vertimon shouted.“What are you doing, I will kill them!” Beruka yelled.“No you won’t.” Edward said, his eyes not leaving her. “Because you know that if there is as much as a scratch on them, your whole kind would cease to exist. You should know that this fire is not only on the Snake palace but also on Fox and Cat palace. So tell me Fox queen, would you rather demand for what you can’t have or would you let me have my family and save your entire race, the choice is yours.”Irene sighed, now that’s the Edward she knows. She knew that he won’t give up the throne and rather would find another means to save Aliyah and Asher while still keeping his powers.Screams soon filled around them and innocent snakes started running around, trying to save themselves. Vertimon wanted to summon his water again but a servant of his told him telepathically that a blue flame surrounded the water and they are trying to quench it but instead of quenching, the fire was boiling their wate
“High Alpha,” a man shouted as he knocked on a door, “High Alpha,” he continued shouted as he banged on the door. Finally, the door opened to reveal a very annoyed Damien and the man quickly bowed on and knelt on the floor on seeing him. “Please pardon my intrusion alpha but I bring you news.”“The news better worth you waking me up otherwise I will be killing right this instant,” Damien warned.The man nodded and looked up at him. “Alpha, there was an unsettling in the demon forests and when we went to check, we found out that the demon has crowned a new king.”“What?” All tiredness and anger vanished from Damien eyes. “A new king, but…we haven’t even killed the old one. Wait, the last time I checked, Prince Edward possesses the Demon fire, so who is crowned king without the demon fire?”“Actually, the crowned demon is none other than Prince Edward or should I say, King Edward.”“What?” Damien couldn’t believe his ears. “Prince Edward is the King of the demons?”“Yes alpha and that i
