*Meadow*"I knew you were following me Vampyr... I knew you were chasing my tail... I always knew you were... admit it, you didn't see this one coming, did you..." he mocked and teased Aeneas between laughs. The bodies of the two dead vampires were quickly disintegrating on the ground. "You took my Luna away from me... now I am taking yours... give her to me..." Cornelius spoke, this time, with no hint of amusement.I knew I hadn't like Camilla from the start, the vibes she sent were always different. But betraying her blood, her maker? I never expected that. Rage started to fill me and I was struggling not to give in. My wolf was snarling to come out and bite some vampire's flesh."You won't make it alive this day, demon. I give you my word on that." Aeneas words were cold and calculated, still I saw us cornered and them with advantage. I wanted so bad to have Caleb here."You have balls, vampyr... you are outnumbered and still manage to threaten me? Big balls..." Cornelius laughe

*Meadow*I tried to find Aeneas but he was too far from me, I couldn't check if he was alive or not, between us three we could probably kill it. I took several deep breath and followed my instinct, I crawled to the water and took a dip. Whatever it was on the lake quickly started to heal me, I felt my swollen limbs recover and my pain subside; I looked towards the cave and those haunting glowing blue eyes seemed to get closer. I shifted and turned around to see Caleb bite and tear a part of the creature's arm, causing it to scream and try to hit him.This was delusional, I needed to help my mate, he was the strongest warrior in the land but I didn't know if he was strong enough to defeat a demon, a creature of myths and legends. "Caleb!" I screamed and he jumped just in time to avoid a punch. He looked at me and that distraction caused him to be hit by a second punch from the beast. I gasped and covered my mouth, I was being a distraction instead of helping him. 'Pull him to the wate

*Meadow*It was then when I saw a big shadow from behind it; it kept coming closer towards us, and the closer it get the more it blocked the light. The demon was frozen and still as it watched my new protector with fear; then I heard a strange sound I only noticed to be wings flapping when big claws appeared from behind the waterfall and sank into both of the creature's shoulders. It yelled in vain, a long tail quickly aid the pull of the claws by wrapping around its waist and together they pulled it out and away from us. I ran past her and jumped to the water, swimming fast out of the cave to see what was happening; I saw them fighting in the air, Caleb's wings huge and magnificent kept them both suspended while their bodies kept wrestling; I saw the demon reach my mate's neck and tear a part of it but Caleb was faster and in swift calculated moves he bit the demon's head holding it still while his claws sank even deeper into its shoulders, a painful scream came from its mouth as Cal

*Caleb*I gently hold Meadow's hand in mine as we hear the debrief of information both Alex and Craig are giving us, I am proud of the outcome of this war, and very happy we managed to survive the day."...After that, Alpha Smithson took over as you suggested and they cornered the last warriors from their last wave of attack, none of them survived. I waited until I heard from Alex before we moved together towards the rest of the people like you directed me to do Alpha." Craig finished his report and then went quiet.I nod at him then to Alex, who resumed his report. "The last warriors from their side seemed to be lost after we all heard the loud screams that came from the woods, the sign of Cornelius fall. It probably broke any manipulating bond he had over them. They were not many but they all begged for mercy. We have them in the dungeons well taken care of, we gave them food and told them we would wait for your orders about what we would do with them."I see Queen Isilwen arrive

*Caleb*"Did you always know...?" She whispers and I tilt my head to see her eyes closed."Know what...?" I encourage her to continue, brushing my lips on her forehead."About the cave... did you know she would be there...?" She speaks quietly and I smile, her tiredness transmitting through her words."I didn't know what was there... My father, more than once, told me that if I ever felt in any danger, I should trust in that place to protect me. Many times I tried to go there but something wouldn't let me in, I never understood what it was until my father said I wasn't ready, nor was I in any danger... In time I forgot all about it, and simply kept going due to the beauty and peace that place gave me. When you mentioned how it gave you the same feelings everything came back and I knew you would be safe there..." I squeeze her to my arms softly and she sighs with a smile."So you didn't know she was there... you just knew it was going to be safe." Her words almost faint and I cuddl
