All Chapters of Mate’s revenge : Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Lisa's POVThe air rushed by as I grabbed at the blackness, looking for anything, anything, to cling to, and the fall was vicious. The contact knocked the wind out of my lungs as I struck the ground, leaving me gasping in the almost complete darkness. "Lisa!" Dominick's voice, strained and frantic, sounded from someplace above me. "I'm present!" Wheezing, I forced myself to stand. "I'm all right!" I knew someone else had landed when I heard a loud thump close by. "Is everyone still alive?" Marcus's strong voice cut through the confusion. With her figure moving in the low light coming from gaps above us, Chelsea moaned, "I think so." "Dominick?" My pulse was racing when I phoned. He came up next to me and stated, "I'm here," in a very tight voice. "Are you in pain?" With my body hurting, I lied and said, "I'm fine." "How about you?" As he helped me get up, he said, "I'll live." Dominick's POV We had fallen into a smaller, colder, and in some ways more sinister cavern than th

Lisa's POV Echoing around the wrecked hall like a phantom taunt, the chilling laugh seemed to come from nowhere and everywhere at once. "Has anybody heard that?" Chelsea questioned, her eyes darting across the room as she hold her blade firmly. Dominick snarled, stretching his claws, "It's her." "She's not finished yet." Marcus mumbled, looking at the broken altar, "Obviously." However, where is she? And now, how can we stop her? "You can't," Anabella said in a mockingly silky voice. No one was there, yet we all twisted toward the sound. "Coward!" Dominick's voice echoed around the room as he yelled. "Exhibit yourself!" A whirling shadow materialized close to the remnants of the altar as Anabella's laughing became louder. Slowly, her shape appeared, her face as arrogant as ever. With a tone full of contempt, she said, "You've been so entertaining." However, the beast was never the focus of this. "So what is the matter here?" Despite Dominick's cautionary glance, I stepped fo

Lisa put her back against the cavern's icy, angular wall, breathing in harsh gasps. The faint blue illumination of the runes carved into the stone created frightening dancing shadows. The enormous, ghostly, moving, and flickering thing in front of her was inky black. Its red eyes, brimming with rage, fixed on her without averting.She tightened her hold on the sharp fragment of metal she had found, a shoddy alternative to a real weapon. Her chest vibrated when the beast hissed, the sound echoing across the cavern."Remember, Lisa," she said to herself. It's not just about physical strength here. Something is holding it here. Something.She glanced at the luminous runes. As if giving it energy, they pulsed subtly in time with the creature's motions.With its claws tearing through the air, the beast rushed. A strike that created deep gouges in the stone floor was barely avoided by Lisa as she rolled to the side. Her heart thumping, she sprang to her feet."Aren't you connected to this p

Like a leaf caught in a fierce storm, Lisa was spun about by the nothingness as her cries reverberated through the darkness. She was drawn more into an unending dark abyss as the whirling shadows became tighter about her. Her voice hoarse from yelling, she grabbed at the void."Dominick! Are you able to hear me? Her voice was lost in the emptiness as she sobbed.No answer, just the ominous laugh of a voice she was all too familiar with."Didn't you think he would save you?" Anabella's disembodied, all-pervading voice purred. "So cliched, Lisa. Always relying on other people for support."Where are you?" With a furious turn, Lisa spit. She still had a ragged bit of metal, but she didn't know where to aim it, so she tightened her grasp.Anabella answered in a mocking tone, "I'm everywhere." "And you're nowhere, poor little omega."The emptiness changed shortly. The darkness was penetrated by a dazzling light, and Lisa staggered back, covering her eyes. She was standing on a rock with th

Dark energy flowed about Anabella as she stood in the middle of the room, her hands held high. A sinister grin curled her lips as her eyes sparkled with malignant amusement. Around her, the space buzzed with power, the walls adorned with sigils that pulsed with an old, terrible magic.Before her, Lisa was on her knees, blood streaming from the black tendrils that had tied her at the wrists. Her eyes were burning with defiance, yet her complexion was pale and her breath was shallow. She sensed that she had Anabella's triumph at her fingertips, and Lisa was the reason for it. The secret to Anabella's ambitious plan lay in their relationship, the lineage that linked her to the Moon Goddess.With a voice full of hate, Anabella murmured, "You should feel honored, Lisa." "I only need your blood and your heritage to subdue the wolf packs." I'll take control of every Alpha and every pack with your strength. They will all bow down to me.Despite her heart thumping in her chest, Lisa remained s
