chapter 247
I could feel myself growing stronger as I drank greedily, feel my wounds healing when I hear a cry making my eyes open to see her face peering over me.
I lift my legs pulling them from the water and sitting up.
She jerks her wrist away from me watching me warily and I take a deep breath, trying to fight the bloodlust urging me to kill her. I look up the stairs. I reached for her with my arms still burning but most of them healed, yet I still felt weak when I saw Aamon still stuck on the steps.
I get up grabbing Lucy’s hand, pulling her up the steps toward him. I grab his arm tossing it over shoulder and Lucy tries lifting him, managing to help hold him up against me as we step into the corridor, yet all I saw was darkness, the door was shut, the lights out. I place him on the bottom of the steps before racing up them and trying to pry the door open. I bang on it.
“We can’t open it” I just make out through the door. “Fuck!” I cuss before realising Lucy was with me. I race back down and nearly trip over Aamon on the steps. I slap him, nothing.
I shake him trying to rouse him awake. “Come on buddy” I tell him, slapping his face.
He groans yet doesn’t wake, when an idea crosses my mind. He had devilsbane in his system. I just had to remove it. I sink my fangs into him and nearly throw up at the vile taste of burnt hair as it flooded my mouth yet I force it down not only needing his disgusting blood but also needing to rid the devilsbane. He jerks before gripping my face and shoving me off.
“Thank the goddess, you taste like shit by the way” I tell him while he glares at me.
He looks around his eyes landing on Lucy who sniffs the air, “you found her” he gasps.
“And you fucking fed on me, you sicko” he says wiping his neck just as I hear screaming and a loud bang above us.
I race up the steps, to hear loud banging and crashing before hearing her voice. I hear a feral growl, I recognise as Ace’s wolf, before it hits the glass.
“You need to mist us out of here” I tell Aamon.
“I’m not sure I can, I need energy to feed off” he says getting his feet.
“Can’t you like click your fingers or something”
“No, but I can use you” he says, his eyes flicking onyx.
“Are you fucking nuts, I don’t want you using your lust shit on me” I tell him when I hear her scream before hearing Tates voice.
“Reika fucking shift, you need to shift” my heart skipping a beat and I race toward Aamon.
“Lucy come here, hang onto Aamon’s hand” I tell her and she races up the steps before hesitantly grabbing Aamon hands, she crinkles her nose at his scent when Aamon locks his hands onto the side of my face, “Sorry bro but the other way won’t work I gotta touch ya” he says and I near throw up when I feel his gross manly lips press to mine.
I feel him pull on my energy, arousal flooding me as much as I fought against his charms. The room zapping and the smell of burnt almonds wrapping around us before I feel my body zapped with energy. Within a blink of an eye, I find myself in the cell. Tate, Drake and Ace staring out the glass when Ace’s black wolf looks back before doing a double take and I shove Aamon away.
Ace backs up before hitting the glass and I scream when I see Danika smash Reika into the desk breaking it.
Brax flying forward and smashing through the veil at the sight of our mate being attacked by our other mate. Aamon shakes his head, like he too couldn’t believe what he was seeing as I slam against the glass before bouncing off it and being thrown backwards. I get to my feet when the entire building starts rumbling. Danika stopping her advance on Reika and I see Reika get to her feet on shaky legs, blood pouring from her. Lucy screams, finally noticing the woman is her mother.
“Mummy” she screams, Reika’s head snapping to her at her cries, a terrifying growl tearing from her as the entire building rumbles like it is about to collapse around us when Aamon laughs behind me.
“Avery’s here” he says just as the door goes flying off the hinges and smashing against the wall on the other side of the room, I look back just in time to see Reika tackle Danika and they struggle, Danika trying to toss her off.
A furious Avery stalks into the room before she freezes, staring at Reika and Danika fighting, her eyes turning pitch black before the lights flicker, electricity zapping around her body and she raises her hands. Brax jumps on Lucy and shields her just as electricity surges from her fingers and around the room hitting the glass making it vibrate before it shatters. Raining glass down everywhere as they burst.
Ace growls running at Danika and tackling her off Reika before I see Tyson shift also rushing past Avery through the doorway as they start tearing her apart. Danika fights back as she kicks Ace, sending him flying. Avery flicks her wrist greenlight of her magic shooting from her fingertips and Danika turns immobile just as Reika punches her hand through her chest, Tyson’s wolf tearing into her neck knocking her backwards and leaving Reika holding her heart while Tyson ripped her head off.
Lucy spews, coating my fur at the sight as Danikas head rolls along the ground, her dazed eyes peering up before turning grey.
“Bout fucking time you showed up, been trying to get ahold of you for weeks” Aamon says to Avery.
“I was visiting my father, no cell service in hell” She spits back at him walking over to Danika’s body. She gazes down at it, her eyes blazing emerald and she swishes her wrist, the body catching alight as green smoke burns it. I shift back into my human form, Lucy’s vomit sliding down my arm and I flick it off. Avery then turns to her head when I call out to her.
“I want her head” I tell her and she looks up.
“For what, fucking trophey?” She asks.
“No for her husband” I tell her. She nods, kicking it toward me. I nod to Tyson who was still in wolf form. “Why do I have to take the head?” He snaps through the mindlink.
“Be the only head you get now grab it” I mindlink back and he rolls his eyes before picking it up by her hair, he strolls off toward the basement steps.
“Can’t say I’m surprised there was something always off with that girl, no wonder I had trouble seeing her future before you killed her”
“You felt no pull to her at all?” Avery asks and I shake my head.
“Good seems when I stripped the remanants of your bond it worked then ” She says before looking at her husband Aamon.
I see Ace get up off the floor from where he crashed, he shakes out his fur before looking around, his eyes going to the cell behind me and following his line of vision to see Reika clutching her daughter like she was her life line, Lucy sobbing in her arms as she clutched her back.
