Drakoen started to take the fight seriously after sustaining blows from Mercedes. Her attacks were fast, lightning speed that Drakoen could barely keep up with her movements. Because of that, he was unable to evade her beating. She was relentless and merciless while thrashing him around. For Mercedes, it was first revenge for her. She wanted to take out all her frustrations, pain and anger out on him for using her. What was even more unforgivable was the fact that he dared to use her son against her. Her little boy had to endure all that time of torture because of him. It was because of him that she was unable to become a proper mother to her son. She couldn't be a mate to Felix, who would stay by his side and support him. Her family had to remain apart all because of him. Her emotions took over her reasoning. She was out for blood. All she wanted to do was destroy him and rip him to shreds. All she could see while she was beating him was red. Unable to take any more of her thrashing
Mercedes raised a barrier around Alvira, trapping Drakoen and herself in it. The air shimmered with a ripple above them. No one would make it out unless one of them died. She knew that everyone would not stay put once the fight between Drakoen and her started and would attempt to interfere. To keep them out, a barrier was needed. She was not going to make it out until Drakoen was dead. Mercedes was in the air gathering more of the White Wolves' remaining energy into her body. Even though she could take it at the moment, her body wouldn't be able to bear it for long. She needed some time to take it in and absorb it completely. “ So this was your plan for bringing us here. I should have guessed,” Drakoen laughed with a glint of amusement in his dark eyes. Mercedes ignored what Drakoen was saying and closed her eyes. She felt the power of the energy she was taking in course through her veins and body. The power she now held within her was overwhelming with primal force. Mercedes rose t
The portal Mercedes conjured took her and Drakoen to the temple of Alvira. Mercedes couldn't think of a better place for them to put an end to their fight than the place it all began. It was the perfect place for everything to be decided. At that moment, Mercedes felt like crying. She couldn't properly say goodbye to Felix. She wanted to, but she knew the moment she looked at his face her resolve would falter. She would not be able to walk away from him. She had to harden her heart and do it this way. " Damn it! How dare you, Mercedes? How dare you lay your hands on me," he groaned from the dizziness of suddenly being pushed into the portal. It took him a moment to realize where he had been brought. " What? You don't like the taste of your medicine? If I remember correctly, you once had your minions do the same to me."Mercedes remembered the time when she was trying to get to her son and she was pushed into a portal that took her to were Drakoen was. It was not a fun experience at
Felix ran towards Mercedes. He had to see her face, touch her, kiss her and embrace her. It didn't matter what was going on at the moment. He had long run out of patience, and he could not let her go. Not again. Jake watched his Alpha run towards his mate. The situation was tense since Drakoen came into the picture. He just hoped that the Alpha wouldn't get hurt in his reunion with his mate." I see that I have greatly underestimated you, once again, Mercedes. I thought that things were completely under my control, but that was my mistake."" I was never yours to control. You just got lucky that you were able to keep me under your control for so long. I hope you have used me for all my worth, because you won't be getting that chance again."Mercedes glared at him standing ground to show him that play time was over. She stood tall and made sure to shield Isadora and Alexa from his menacing gaze. Drakoen's eyes burned with fury at Mercedes' words. " I must say. You really are a loyal
Mercedes was about to leave, but Alexa found the strength to stop her from walking away just yet. Mercedes stood with her back facing Isadora and Alexa. She was too ashamed to face Alexa." Mercedes, wait," Alexa said in a soft voice. She tried to sit up and Isadora helped her, still holding her body close for support.Mercedes heard her voice and felt like life had breathed into her again. Yet she didn't dare turn to look at her. She remained with her back turned. Alexa understood how she felt so she didn't force her to face her." Thanks to you, I am okay. I'm still alive. You don't have to feel sorry for me."Alexa's words, indeed, lessened the guilt she felt towards her, but they could not quell it. Nothing would ease her heart until she managed to put an end to the war and bloodshed. Still, for Alexa, she took a breath and forced a smile on her face before turning back to face Alexa. " I'm glad you are fine, Alexa. I can't express how sorry I am for what I have done to you. I tr
Mercedes clenched her fists while waiting for Alexa to wake up. For a moment, nothing happened. It was as if she was really dead. Mercedes clenched her fists even harder. What is it? What is going on? Was the blood not enough? Mercedes thought to herself. She was a second away from ripping her cut open once again so that she could release more blood for Alexa. She was willing to give all of her blood just to get Alexa back. She was stopped when Alexa's body jerked. Isadora gasped as Alexa's eyelids fluttered open and she took a shallow breath. " Oh my god! Alexa!" Isadora said, holding Alexa close. Her eyes became wet, watching Alexa open her eyes and look at her was the best thing that could have happened to her. It was a miracle. She never thought she would gaze into those eyes again. Her face crumpled with emotion. " You are finally back," she whispered in a strained voice as tears started falling out of her eyes. " I'm so happy that...you are alive," her voice shook with emotio
