CHAPTER 157 DEVIL'S SNARE TRAPFENIRS 'S P.O.V As I sat there trying to process the loss of my mother, I could hear the sounds of screaming in the distance. One voice stood out more than the rest. I knew this was no time to mourn. As an Alpha, I was taught to put my emotions to the side during a time like this and deal with the problem at hand. As much as I'd rather get lost in my emotions, I knew better. If I let my guard down anymore than I already have, then I could die or worse, everyone could die. Just because I wanted to break down doesn't mean that it was the time or place. The battle still goes on without you. "WIDOW!" I heard the voice of my mate scream. She was nearby and it sounded like she might need my help. I looked down at my mother's face one more time before laying her body softly on the ground. If we live through this war, I will be coming back to get her. She deserves to be laid to rest next to my father. I wasn't sure why Teddy was screaming widow, but the urge
CHAPTER 158 THE TRIBAL ALPHATEDDY'S P.O.V Once I was over the hill that Lucy had gone over, the scenery around me was unbearable. Bodies were everywhere. I knew deep down that we wouldn't all make it out alive and my heart was not handling that thought well. It looked like a blood bath. Red stained the ground, seeping from dead bodies, while the earth absorbed the wetness from the blood. I walked a little while longer trying to listen for Fredrick's or even Lucy's voice. But to my dismay, there was nothing. It was radio silent. I could hear the screams of pain from others, but not from whom I was looking for. "We're too late..." "Don't say that, we will find them. We will break Lucy from Iblis's hold and we will save your brother," Fenirs replied confidently. "I have this gut feeling, it's like a knot that won't let up." "It's just your nerves. Try not to worry until you have to." Easier said than done. My entire life has been nothing but worry, even after I got away from my a
CHAPTER 159 THE DEAD ATTACKFENIRS 'S P.O.V We decided to part ways in hopes of dividing and concurring. While Marci, Talissa, and I went to war. Teddy and Trystan went to find the sister witches to get the gate shut. I wasn't sure what uniting all three blades would do. Hell, I wasn't even sure how to use them correctly. I asked Trystan what I was supposed to do and his response was 'You'll know when the time is right, all you have to do is listen.' Whatever that meant. As a leader, I knew I would figure it out and find solutions. My blade felt as if it were vibrating in my hand. I hadn't had the thing for long, but that was a first. The closer we were getting to the forest, the more it was vibrating. As if it were calling someone, or maybe even something. Was that a sign? I wasn't confident that it was, not yet at least. Once we were at the edge of the tree line, you could see the outer layer of demons with their beet-black eyes staring back out at us. If that weren't creepy, then
CHAPTER 160 UNITED AS ONETEDDY'S P.O.V We were able to close the gate, but not before many demons managed to escape. I was so sure that Iblis would be there to fight us about closing it. But to my surprise, he didn't show up. That was strange. What was his ulterior motive? "Okay, it's closed. I want what I was promised," Helga immediately said after the gate was sealed for good. "I knew you wouldn't stick around to help win this war," Helena angrily stated. "I never said I would fight in a war that wasn't my own. I only agreed to help close the bloody gate for my payment. Now hand it over." Helga then demanded, addressing both Helena and Trystan. "Here." Trystan said, throwing a purple crystal-looking necklace at Helga. She leaped to the ground to catch the thing. Which means that it must've been an important object for her to act like that over it. "We need to get to the fight fast." Trystan said as he made his way past us, walking toward the open field where an all-out war w
CHAPTER 161 ALEXANDRITE TEDDY'S P.O.V As soon as the three blades united and became a sword, the heads of all of the demon-inhabiting people on the battlefield faced upward, black smoke rushing out of their mouths. Some of the bodies immediately dropped to the ground dead due to the wounds sustained. Without their hosts, they could no longer function. I couldn't help but wonder why the demons left the fight without their leader's command. It was as if they were afraid. But why? I looked around at all of the bickering that was happening while also keeping Iblis and Lucy frozen in place. All I wanted was to end this war once and for all. But the demons were now out in the world, taking on yet another human form, while none of us could figure out who could yield the sword. "ENOUGH! While we are here complaining, real people have lost their lives on that field!" I screamed at the arguing group. Once Iblis was dead and not controlling the black-eyed monsters, we could take them d
CHAPTER 162 LET'S FIND THEORIGINATING DESCENDANTTEDDY'S P.O.V I couldn't help but sit and think about our predicament. Not only did Iblis get away with his life intact, but there were demons out on the loose all around the world now as well. That wasn't even the worst part. The worst part was that we awakened the most feared supernatural huntress known to our kind. She was feared enough by the royal families that they separated all the sword parts across the world. While also storing her mummified body in a magically sealed tomb, one she could probably escape now that she was awake. "What makes you think she won't come for the sword first?" I asked cautiously. "Because without the gem it doesn't serve its purpose for her. Her goal is to capture souls and trap them in the worst type of hell there is. Not just kill them off." Trystan replied casually. "Why would you risk releasing her into our world full of supernatural families?" "I figured if Iblis was dead it would have been wo
CHAPTER 163 HIDDEN IN THE DARKTEDDY'S P.O.V On our way back, I explained to Lucy what she had missed. She didn't seem all that surprised, yet her face showed remorse. This led me to believe that although she may not have had control over her actions, she knew what she had done without explanation. We managed to get back to the kingdom with no issues. It appears Talissa was right. Now that the blades were connected, people were going to go into hiding, just as they should. Once inside, our goal was to find this special magical safe. Since Fenirs never knew that part of the sword was kept in the kingdom, it may be harder for us to locate it. "Maybe it's in her bedroom?" Trystan suggested while looking back at Fenirs and I. Lilyanna's limp body was held tightly in his arms. "I have to take her to the infirmary for them to prepare her for burial," Fenirs replied, ignoring Trystan's request while walking in a different direction than us. "He blames me," Trystan whispered lowly. "
CHAPTER 164 SYBIL'S STORYFENIRS 'S P.O.V It's been a month since we buried my mother and some of the fallen warriors who assisted. Not a day goes by that I don't think about how wrong it all went. We managed to find the safe my mother stored away tightly and securely. It took a while to get into the damn thing too. But now the sword was safely stored away until we needed it. The gem, however, nobody knew where it was. Lucy insisted that it was in the kingdom, nearby. But we searched high and low for the damn thing and there was no sign of it. I wasn't sure if that was a good thing or a bad thing though. The positive side to it was that if we couldn't find it with Lucy's sight, then maybe neither could Alex. If that were the case, then she wouldn't know where to find it, so we had time to dig into research on her origin. We were meeting up with a witch who could give us information about the originating witch, or maybe a descendant of said witch. We just have to hope that once they'
