Jackie linked arms with her coven, forming a ball of gigantic green energy for themselves. This one engulfed them as a shield while Raine fashioned his energy ball as large as a boulder. He launched it at them. The lights mixed, but in the end, the silver light barely made a dent in the coven’s protective bubble. The coven formed more sparks of green light while saying the word, exilium, again.
This time, energy headed in my direction. Raine threw silver-colored energy ball after energy ball at the dark green light, but it was still on a deadly course toward me.
“Sesi!” said Sylus as he reached for my shoulder again to move me out of the way, but Ges stepped in front of us as a protective shield and disappeared fromthe room. His form shortly transformed inside the mirror.
Well, crap. This isn’t going well, is it, my dear readers? Hopefully, everything turns out for the best in the next chapter. Savannah Silverwand out.
CHAPTER 10
The Queen has Fallen
Jackie let out a cackle.
“Four down, four to go.” She grinned and then gazed at Sylus. “Not sure who you are, sweetheart, but once this is done, you and I can grab a drink because you are so delicious.” Her gaze then fell on Raine. “As for you, I’m just going to vanquish you. I don’t need you in my magic mirror.”
“I’d like to see you try.” He gave her a smirk, followed by a wink.
“Stop with the foreplay, Raine. I’m already excited to kill you,” Jackie said as she launched an energy ball in Raine’s direction.
Raine stepped to the side of the energy ball, but it still grazed his shoulder. The force of the blast shoved him against the back wall of the bedroom. His head hit the crown molding with a sickening crack, and his limp body hit the floor.
“Now, where was I? Oh yes! To the mirror with the rest of you!”
She sent out a series of rapid-fire green sparks of energy in Doc, Thick, and Bear’s direction. The first one hit the wall and missed Doc completely. However, once he regained his footing to dodge the next round, he tripped over one of Jackie’s shoes and the ball of light hit him. He instantly disappeared from the room and wound up in the mirror moments later.
After a few more rounds, Jackie imprisoned Thick. Now only Bear, Sylus, and I remained in the fight. Raine’s body was still lifeless where he fell.
“Sesi, be a dear and stand still. Make things easy on your stepmother for once—would you?”
Jackie raised her palm, and an enormous amount of green sparkling light rushed through the witches’ protective barrier and headed straight for me.
“No!” said Bear as he stepped in front of it. He, too, disappeared from the room and appeared in the mirror.
“And then there was one!” Jackie said with a cackle. She quickly sent a succession of green, sparkly lights in my direction.
“You’ve got your numbers crossed, bitch! Sesi has me!”
Sylus reached for my shoulder once more to pull me away from the ball of energy headed in my direction.
I raised my hands to deflect the light, but this time, Sylus finally contacted me and shielded me from themenacing magical blows with his bare arms and back. The light surrounded us momentarily and then redirected toward Jackie and her coven.
“Impossible! Only the rarest pure black Alpha and pure silver-white Luna werewolves can deflect my magic! They are the Moon Goddess’s Yin and Yang Fated Mates!”
Jackie’s eyes widened for a moment before she dodged the blasts with ease.
“You can’t be a werewolf, Sesi. I would have sensed it!”
“If I hadn’t put a protection spell on her and Sylus at birth—you would have, bitch.” Said Raine before he smashed the chair into the mirror.
The entire brigade and my father materialized back into the room. Raine then raised his palm and destroyed the protective bubble around the three witches. With his other hand, he waved each witch into a piece of the shattered mirror.
“They won’t be bothering anyone anytime soon, Sesi.”
“Thanks, Raine,” I said, rushing into my father’s arms. I had to hold him to believe he was here in the flesh.
“You’re alive! But how?”
“When I placed Jackie into the mirror, I reversed her spells. She’s the one that made your father sick, so now that he isn’t under her spell, he’s free to live a long and happy life with you all.”
