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
CHAPTER 139 CRUEL WALK DOWN MEMORY LANETEDDY'S P.O.VWe sat there for a while in silence before the room randomly started to spin."What's going on?" I quickly asked."Well, that took longer than I expected. I wonder who is up first." Trystan spoke as the spinning began to make me nauseous."Why the spinning?""Just to mess with your brain before it dives into your memories. My father loves a good mind fuck before he intrudes. He is an asshole like that.""How many times has he done this to you?""Anytime I do anything he disagrees with. If you haven't already figured that out, I'm a major disappointment." "Is it always the same memory?" I asked, avoiding the pity-me vibe."Nah, this room does whatever it wants. It's not like the other rooms. It pulls out any memory at all that you may regret or fear. It could be the same looped memory or just a cruel walk down memory lane." He answered as the room changed from black padding to an open field. He let out a sigh as he stood up. "Welp,
CHAPTER 140 GET OUT OF MY HEAD!TEDDY'S P.O.VI wasn't one to normally engage in such idiotic games like the one Iblis was playing with us. But I was worried about what it might reveal. I hadn't done much in my lifetime that I regret. But so much fear has been throughout my existence. Parts of my past I'd much rather forget than relive. Let alone relive the dreadful past with Trystan watching. He already thought that I was not worthy of living. Imagine what he will think when he sees how pathetic my life used to be."Don't get too excited, I haven't done anything drastically pleasing to watch," I said as the padded room morphed into my old pack.Great, my past does want to haunt me. Way to stick it to the man. Show him exactly how lovely my life has been.***"Can't be worse than mine." He spat out as it displayed me on the ground scrubbing the floor, like a slave.Amoment went by as some girls from my pack entered the dining hall where I was cleaning. "Ew, just look at her, pathetic
CHAPTER 141 FORMULATING A NEW PLANFENIRS'S P.O.VIt took a lot of persuasion to get everyone on board. But at that point, we didn't have time to try and locate another door. The last thing we wanted was to possibly create another gateway that could be opened at any given time. Our only option at this point was to enter the one we were guarding."How does one kill something that is already dead?" Darion asked, confused about how to send a demon back to hell.I had no idea myself, so I looked over at Helena for the answer, just as everyone else was doing."Maybe it's best if we tackle the hunting after we get this gateway sealed," Helena replied to all of our stares."I agree, the last thing we need is to completely separate. Plus, it's likely that more demons will get out before we get the gate sealed." Fredrick said, agreeing with Helena."Plus, it looks like we don't exactly know how to send them back to hell or how to even locate them. So how about we stick to tackling one task at
CHAPTER 142 WEAK MINDEDTEDDY'S P.O.VThe room displayed more things than I ever expected to have feared—only a few memories of regret, which surprised me. I regretted more than I led myself to believe. But it wasn't my past that was haunting me. I could barely even look at my half-brother without wanting to cringe. How did he function? I didn't have a childhood, so I am not one to judge, but he had even less of a childhood than me. His actions were malicious and vile. But his actions were all taught from a young age, so saying he 'knew better' would be an incorrect term because it was all he knew. How he still had his humanity was beyond me. The room abruptly yanked us out of his mind while an echo of a thud could be heard. Once the spinning stopped and the room was once again padded-blackness, the realization sunk in."Oh goddess, Fenirs!" I screamed as I rushed to his unconscious body lying on the cold ground.What had they done? What was he doing here? I quickly checked for a puls
CHAPTER 143 MIND BLOCKFENIRS'S P.O.VI suddenly awoke to screaming. What the hell was going on? The last thing I remember was being forced against the wall and kicked. How the hell did I allow such an attack? I was the fucking King!'But we aren't nearly as powerful as Iblis. He has powers we will never even come close to.' My wolf tried reasoning.But that didn't help, it's still embarrassing as a king to be taken out that fast without even a fight. How do I expect to save my mate if I can't even save myself? All my training over the years has been rendered useless if I get knocked out with a single blow."You need to try harder! We have to get out of here!" Amale voice screamed out.I fluttered open my eyes to look around. The room was blurry momentarily before it slowly cleared. Where was I?"I can't! I'm powerless!" The familiar voice of my mate screamed. My eyes shot over to see her beautiful red hair sway as she pushed her hands at the door."It's all in your head, Teddy! If y
