CHAPTER 131 WHAT DO YOU WANT? TEDDY'S P.O.V For some reason, my powers weren't working. It was as if the house was some form of magical vortex that wouldn't allow me to use my own gifts. And my brother was being anything but gentle. "Let's get this shit over with," His rough voice echoed out. "What do you want?" I asked as he pulled me down what seemed to be a never-ending hallway. "I don't want shit. There is nothing you can do for me." He responded more aggressively than necessary. "What is your fucking problem?" I asked as I stopped in my tracks, yanking my arm from his grasp. "Where do I even start?" He asked with a laugh. "How about what the hell you want with me and why you've taken me hostage?" "I am only doing what I was instructed to do. Nothing more, nothing less." "By Iblis?" I asked, praying to the Goddess he didn't get to him first. But I had a feeling he got to him long before I ever even knew of his existence. "By the only family I'll eve
CHAPTER 132 THE DEAL THAT WAS STRUCKFENIRS'S P.O.VI was running out of time. I had to find her before Iblis did to her what he had done to others, including her mother. All I could think about was how big of a trap this was and how I allowed it to happen. Of course, I knew she wouldn't listen. I tried telling her why I didn't want her to go but she insisted, with her gifts and her Alpha brothers, that she would be safe. Yet here we were experiencing what I was terrified of happening. She was stuck in this house with a man we knew about and was without either brother there to help her.I tried calling her multiple times but each time the call went straight to voicemail. We were waiting patiently for Helena to arrive so we could extract what information Drake knew out of his mind and then so we could locate Teddy."I'm here! I'm here!" She hollered as she approached the room. "I had to make a pit stop to grab some of Teddy's belongings so that I can do a locator spell once we have all
CHAPTER 133 DISAGREEMENTSTEDDY'S P.O.VIblis sat across from me, not saying a word. Only staring deep into my eyes. I felt like he was looking into my soul with how focused he was on me. I was becoming a bit uncomfortable. I knew he wanted my son, but why go through all this trouble to get me? I wasn't the key he had been searching for, so why?I looked over to see Trystan messing around with what I thought was a knife. He was using it to pick at his nails, like he was cleaning them."So he thinks his mother abandoned him. How convenient," I said, looking back at Iblis."That's what she did, did she not?""She made the choice to give him a better life so that he was protected from you!" I screamed in anger."Look where that got her. Speaking of good ole Marci, how is she doing?" He asked with a laugh. "You should know, you're the one that ruined her." I spat back as hatefully as I could."Hmm. All I did was offer her a life free of worry.""You tortured her. You fried her brain so b
CHAPTER 134 IT'S OPENEDFENIRS'S P.O.VI rushed around, making sure that with all of us leaving it wouldn't affect the safety of Elias. I ensured that he was protected in many ways. I had my guards on high alert with Tanner guarding him personally. I also had Helena cast a spell to protect him with her magic. Then, to be extra cautious, I ensured that he and my mother were in the safe room before I left. Luckily, the safe room was completely stocked with everything that either of them could need, and I didn't plan on being gone long. But, I couldn't take the chance of a sneak attack on my Kingdom so that Iblis could take my son while I was trying to get Teddy back. I had to make sure he was safe before rescuing his mom.Once everything was in order with Elias, it was time to make a move."Did you get everything?" I asked Helena as we started to load up."I believe so. You do realize that this isn't just going to be a rescue mission, right?" She asked with concern on her face.I knew w
CHAPTER 135 WHAT DO WE DO NOW?FENIRS'S P.O.VAs she made it to the door, it slammed shut. Helena began to speak in Latin as she waved her hands around the door."WE HAVE TO OPEN IT BACK UP!" I screamed in horror at the fact we had just shut my mate in on the other side of the door."We can't, Fenirs. We cannot let more out." Helena said in a sorrowful tone."Teddy was right at the door; we can't leave her there!" I raged as my wolf surfaced."She will understand, Fenirs, she was the one who didn't want the gates opened, to begin with.""Not if that means she will be stuck there!"I could feel the anger surfacing. How could she think like that? This was Teddy we were talking about, not just some random person. "We will find another way. Until then, I will remain here and keep the door closed the best I can. Y'all need to go track down my sister. When we get here on our side, we need to figure out how to remove Teddy from the underworld without releasing any more demons than we alread
CHAPTER 136 THE GATES OF HELLTEDDY'S P.O.VThe door slammed shut right before I could reach it. I couldn't help but feel helpless. My freedom was right there and yet, I couldn't take it. I placed my hand on the door as the shadows around me banged against the closed door."What happened?" I asked breathlessly."The gate has been opened," Trystan replied, shock evident on his face."But... How?"It felt like everything inside of me was on the verge of breaking down. How did Elias get there?He was far too young to know how to turn a knob. How did Iblis do this when he was with us?"We have to get out of here. When he wakes up he will want blood. Especially mine after betraying him!" Trystan screamed as he pulled my arm. "But the door!" I hollered. "It's right here!""We can't get out, it's a gateway if it gets opened. If it opens to let us out, they get out too." He explained while looking around at all the smokey figures. "We need to get out before my father wakes. When he does, he
CHAPTER 137 WHAT DO YOU WANT?FENIRS'S P.O.VI couldn't help but pace the floor. The answer to my problem was right in front of me, yet I knew I couldn't do it. Teddy wouldn't approve. So that is what I kept asking myself. What would Teddy do? I knew the answer wasn't opening that door to let more demons free, it was finding another way. There had to be another way, this couldn't be the only door that led to the underworld."What do we do if your sister doesn't show up?" Darion asked, breaking the unbearable silence that took over the room."She'll show," Helena answered confidently."And what's the backup plan if she doesn't show up?" Fredrick then asked."We don't have a backup plan." She replied while looking at the ground.Of course, I knew that. We hadn't really discussed it in detail with them though. Our plan wasn't exactly a well-thought-out plan. However, that was all we could come up with. Even after almost a year of searching, we still came up empty-handed. "Surely there a
CHAPTER 138 CONTINUOUS LOOPTEDDY'S P.O.VThe shadows of the demons continued to lead me further and further into the depths of hell. Everything looked the exact same, there were no markings to indicate where I was going. If I wanted to escape alive, I would need someone like Trystan to lead the way. The walls were stone, with random bones between the cracks of each stone, as if shouting "HI WELCOME TO HELL". However, it wasn't as hot as you'd expect it to be. It felt like a normal summer's day, hot but not overbearing. Maybe because I wasn't further down, I'm not sure. Soon we were passing rows of doors numbered with dates."What are those?" I asked, unsure what the dates meant."Those are the death dates of each person in hell. The day they die, they have to go into their death room." Trystan responded."So, everyone who dies on that day goes into one room?""Yes, however, each person experiences a different experience within each room. Would you like to see it?" Iblis asked as he c
