“Oh my God! NO!” I screamed so loudly it made the other demons cower, freed my guys from their frozen stance, and should have shattered the glass in all the windows.
Just take her, Val. Help me, and take her. Don’t let her die here. Take her! Please!
“She’ll make a great part of my army. I’ve wanted a little hell-hound for a while. She’ll be my dog in the underworld once I get my child and finish off Enzo.”
“What the hell, you bitch!” Braden shouted.
Braden lunged at the witch and squeezed her throat so tightly it should have taken her head off. Zane led the wolves in taking the witch to the ground, and all I saw after that was Braden holding my dead daughter, watching her turning into white dust and disappear before our eyes while the wolves apparently ripped the demon-witch to pieces.
“It’s not over. That’s not her,” I said in a shaky voice. “She’s jumping from body to body.” I looked over at Logan who flashed me an eerie smile.
“It’s time,” Logan said with a voice I didn’t recognize. He was at my side in less than a second, and his hand was going over my belly and between my legs. “Fertilis! Fertilis! Fertilis!” he chanted as his shimmering eyes went black, and my Logan was hardly there. “I should’ve done this the first time I had all of you.” Logan held up a hand and then balled it into a fist. “You have two eggs for my seed to create not one,” he touched my nose, “but two immortal Life Bloods.”
I felt my vampire side overruling the supernatural power I should’ve had at my damn fingertips. I took Logan and ignored the sadness of hurting the vampire I loved, and sank my fangs into his neck, trying to drain him to nothing and expel the witch from him. Possessing my guys to get me pregnant was not happening.
Logan’s hands desperately went to my temples as he shouted some weird Latin word, and then suddenly, the metallic taste of blood was in my mouth, and I no longer had fangs. I gagged and heaved all of his blood up right there on the floor, Logan’s weak body falling to the side.
My body was forced up against the wall, and Zac’s beautiful bronze eyes were staring down at me. “Elle, I can’t fight this. You have to fucking…”
Zac’s voice trailed off until I no longer sensed him in control of his body. “Stop!” I screamed. “Leave them alone, you bitch!”
Zac’s face came up, and his now black eyes met mine.
“No need to be a vampire anymore, little girl. It’s time you get your life-blood back so I can use this vessel to give me the children I need.”
He gripped my chin, and his knee spread my legs. I tried to knee Zac in the balls, but even that action wouldn’t have dropped the vampire, and I should’ve known it. Zac turned me, pulled my pants down, and bent me over.
I had to stop this witch in Zac’s head. Feeling Zac’s dick thrust inside me, I knew I was literally screwed. This witch was getting her way, and there was no way I could think past the pain of what was happening. This was violating, and this bitch was using Zac to hurt me.
The pain was excruciating, and part of me prayed that Zac wasn’t sensing any of this and wouldn’t remember his body being used to hurt me like this. Anger boiled up in my veins, and I mentally felt the game change. I smiled and absorbed the pain the witch was causing me. I imagined the pain Zac would feel if he knew this witch was in the driver’s seat of his brain. I pulled all of it back and reined in every last ounce of power starting to consume me.
That’s when Zac cried out in a roar as he came inside me, and then I managed to use my mind to throw him off me and knock his ass out to get her out of my vampire. The room swirled with black clouds when I turned to face the witch who had been ejected from Zac. I quickly pulled up my pants and glared at the witch.
“Immortal vampire and Life Blood children will be mine now. It’s all mine now,” the freak demon said as she raised her hand.
I felt my body being pulled—almost seeing another place—and that’s when I realized she was teleporting my ass out of here and leaving all my guys alone with her demon-spawn army.
I had to fight—we all had to fight. She already accomplished her first task, getting me pregnant as a Life Blood with an immortal vamp’s kids. Now, it was time to end this. I felt her trying to drag me to some pit of hell to hide me until I’d had the children she so desperately wanted.
I flattened my palms and sucked in a hard breath, grounding myself and fighting the evil that was trying take over my mind. She wasn’t just taking me and the children she forced Zac to create in me. She was taking me and all the power I had absorbed too.
This wasn’t going to happen.
Chapter Twenty-Nine
Istared down at my hands, holding myself in place when I heard the vampires and wolves break lose. I felt Braden’s rage, Logan’s strong mind reading the room, Cole’s relentless nature of domination, Zac’s disastrous need to kill anyone who was a threat to us, Nakia’s longing for blood, Bren’s unyielding desire to bring down the darkness intruding on us, and Zane’s fierce spirit that was craving this fight.
I absorbed their power and mentally harnessed it, pulling us together as the powerful force we created before this demon-witch showed up to create and take what she thought was hers.
I harnessed the power as I looked up and watched Zane lunge into the air, and suddenly, a tall, horned beast on two feet with the appearance of a demonic wolf was charged into by my alpha shifter. Zane’s eyes glowed with fury as his wolf sank its fangs into the neck of the creature. The creature was massive, and it wrapped its clawed hands around Zane’s wolf, ripping its neck wide open.
I pinched my lips together and flipped my palms out toward where Zane was yelping and fighting until the beast crushed him into nothing. I felt a ball of lively energy form from my palms, and I flicked my wrists toward Zane. I was knocked down by a crazed demon, and I was not able to see if I had managed to heal my black wolf. The vicious snarls grew louder, telling me we had these bastards just popping up from the pits of hell and doing everything they could to take us down so the diabolical witch could have her way with me.
I spun on the ground, scrambling to get my feet underneath me only to be knocked on my face and flattened on my stomach.Damn it. I felt a crushing weight settle onto me, locking me in place and smothering me into the floor.
I glanced over, trying to absorb the power of my guys, only to find them ferociously fighting an army that seemed never-ending. Once they would kill a demon, another would manifest in its place.
I exhaled as the loud room filled with roars, demonic laughter, creepy growls, and cries of anger started to grow silent. The witch was nowhere to be found, but I felt her pulling me down through the floor.
