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
CHAPTER 144 BROKE FREETEDDY'S P.O.VIt was like something possessive came over me. Reliving my traumatic past was one thing, but making Fenirs suffer through one of the hardest things he had ever been through was another. I know he is strong and brave and probably could even handle it, but why if there was something I could do? I felt so powerless up until I saw the pain in his eyes, then it was as if something inside of me shifted and I could think again. I knew Iblis and his mind games, so why did I allow him to break into mine so quickly, and then completely convince myself that I was useless?'Because then it would require you to admit to the fact that the gates of hell have been opened and we couldn't stop it.' Gemma said in my head, making me realize that since entering this place, she was silent, which meant she was also blocked out and I didn't even realize it.'You're right. I was momentarily terrified of what was coming next and didn't want to face the reality of what was h
CHAPTER 145 NEW DIRECTIONTEDDY'S P.O.VWe followed Trystan down the hall for a bit before a familiar door appeared. It was sparking up unanswered questions. Like, why did Fenirs kill my step-mom and step-sister? I knew I shouldn't ask. I mean, we were about to enter a warzone, leaving this curiosity the tiniest bit of our concern, but it managed to get the best of me."Why did you kill them?" I asked, looking over at Fenirs.Alook of confusion crossed his face, unsure of what I was referring to."They killed my father, Teddy. I know revenge isn't the best option, but it made it easier to move on knowing the man who murdered my father wasn't still out there doing the same things to other families."It slipped my mind that he had the slightest clue as to what I was referring to. Of course, leaving his memory, he would assume I meant that."I know why you killed him. I would have done the same without a second thought. I didn't actually mean that though. I forgot you don't know what the
CHAPTER 146 WAKE UP!FENIRS'S P.O.VWe were basically speed walking down the pathway to get to the gateway as fast as we could. The entire walk there all I could think about was how I had hoped Lucy managed to keep the demons at bay. I was also still trying to think of a good enough reason to give Teddy as to why I killed her step-family, but in reality I didn't have one other than betrayal to the throne. Which, in any other case, was a sufficient reason to warrant death. She didn't seem to be upset by their departure, but it still made me question if she was okay with what I had done. I did act on impulse. I can't say that I regret my decision because they would always be a threat to her as long as they were alive. I also couldn't stand by and continuously allow them to treat my Queen, their Queen, like dirt on the bottom of their shoes as they walked all over her. I gave them more warnings than they deserved. Who was I if I didn't act on my word? I didn't want the image of the King
CHAPTER 147 FIGHT BACK!TEDDY'S P.O.VDemons were attacking in every direction. I wasn't sure what I was supposed to do. They don't offer a Demon 101 class for us on what is needed to stop them. I began to panic as the shadow figures hit my body left and right, pushing me closer to the edge of the pathway that dropped off into the pits of hell."FIGHT BACK!" Trystan hollered out."HOW!? I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO!"What was I thinking? There was never a chance in hell, literally, that I would win. I had no clue what to do when it came to battling someone who was already dead. I should have done the research to find absolutely anything to help us in this situation. Yet I didn't. I knew what I was up against, yet all I did was learn how to harvest my powers and control them to use them against Iblis, and apparently, I was even doing that incorrectly.I hit the next figure swooping in to attack me, only my hand went right through its body. However, it managed to collide with my own body. WH
