"So, it was all lies." Marcel said quietly.
Her look of surprise was one I would never forget.
"You…" Her eyes snapped to me and she whispered something.
"Not this time." I said, letting my power out. Taking a deep breath, I closed my eyes, letting my senses spread to every corner of the room. I fuelled all my anger, pain and fury towards her for what she did to Alejandro, and I felt the flame ignite within me.
"What are you doing?!" She shouted.
I opened my blazing eyes, just in time to see Alejandro lunge at her.
"No!" I shouted.
A black blast of power knocked him back, but he held his ground, pushing against her powerful force field. He shifted as his aura worked against her powers. The room was swirling with three different powers, each working to their full capacity. A battle of power and wills.
"If you will not side with me, then there’s no use for you!"
I felt the surge of power within me growing, the shrieks of the Manangal’s and Wendigo’s reacting to my power filled my ears. My heart thumped as Marcel rushed towards Alejandro, shifting as he rammed against the wall assisting him.
"Look at that, the rogue mutt is helping his younger brother!" Endora scoffed.
Those words alone let the blast of power roll off me, knocking everyone to the ground. Her powers dissipated as I rushed towards her, my staff raised.
"If I were you…. I’d save my mate." Endora hissed, whispering a spell. Her eyes glowed red.
I turned my head, my heart pounding in fear as I saw her powers wrap around Alejandro so fast he didn’t have time to react. He growled in rage as her power lashed into him, spearing him with a hundred knife-like blades created from magic. His blood splattered everywhere as he crumbled to the floor, shifting back into his human form.
"Alejandro!" I screamed, my voice ringing off the walls of the cavern...
98. The Clash
KIARA
Fear consumed me like never before. My heart was pounding in my chest as I ran towards him.
Marcel rushed past me; a deafening growl echoed in the room as he lunged at Endora. I heard the sickening sound of a wolf being impaled. He howled before I heard a sickening crunch and then the smell of blood growing stronger in the air as his body hit the far wall.
"Not so fast!" Endora shouted.
A dark blast shot towards me, but it didn’t get past the blazing purple fire surrounding me. I felt her evil magic closing in on me, forcing me to stop in my tracks. I let my power blaze up once again, sending another blast towards her without even looking. The sound of some bones breaking and her screams filled the air.
"Don’t fucking touch me!" I shrieked.
I had made her mad, but I didn’t care, I was angrier. She sent another strong wave at me which knocked me back, but I didn’t hit the ground, a pair of strong arms catching me. Sparks shot up me at his touch and the strong smell of blood along with Alejandro’s intoxicating scent surrounded me.
"Leave her the fuck alone!" He growled.
"You can’t do anything!" She laughed coldly. "Join me and she lives."
"In your fucking dreams!" He hissed.
"As you wish." She said eerily, before a hundred shards of black rushed towards us.
"Baby no!" I screamed the moment he wrapped his arms around me and jumped, but he wasn’t fast enough. I flinched as I felt the impact of her brutal attack impaling him.
"Run…" He whispered softly in my ear. His hold became slack as he dropped to the floor.
My heart was ringing in my ears; anger, fear and panic were overtaking me.
