Page 184 of Her Destined Alpha
I glanced back at him, watching his skin melt off, no longer able to scream as the pain overcame him. I felt nothing. I hated him.
I watched everyone fighting and trying to contain themselves. The entire castle was shaking, and certain parts of the ceiling were caving in. To my surprise, I saw Amoria trying to hold it up.
“Delsanra, help me!” She said, her voice strained. I was about to go to her, but Rayhan grabbed my arm.
“I don’t trust her.”
“I know, but I’ll be fine. Lola!” I shouted, seeing a huge part of the stone fall towards her. She jumped aside just as the chunk of the ceiling crashed to the floor. “We need to get everyone out. Judgment can wait! The building is collapsing!” I shouted.
“Everyone, make your way out!” Magdalene shouted.
Samson’s writhing had stopped, yet he was still breathing as he slowly burned to death. Soon his heart would stop too. Our eyes met, but I knew he couldn’t see me. He was in far too much pain. I raised my arms, ready to keep the ceiling up, when I saw Ames’s leg trapped under a large boulder below.
“Rayhan, help my brother!”
“I’m not leaving you, Kitten!” he shouted back, knocking a large stone aside. The sheer force of the magic all around was making it difficult for anyone to move or make sense of everything. For a moment, I wasn’t sure who was on whose side. The air was thick with dust, sand, and rubble.
“Rayhan, please!”
After a moment of hesitation, Rayhan nodded, shifting as he ran towards Ames. I closed my eyes, focusing before I raised my arm, summoning a huge surge of power, blasting all of the rubble and dirt outwards as I blew the entire roof off the building.
“Well, fuck…” I heard the King murmur.
“I thought you’d manage that... but in the process… you forgot to watch your back, dear sister,” Amoria’s voice hissed from right behind me. My head snapped back as she made to plunge a dagger into me.
A loud growl rang from behind us as both Lola and Rayhan knocked Amoria backwards. I flinched when I heard the sickening crunch of her head. I really was naïve… there was no way she would change.
“This is why I’m not fucking leaving you!” Rayhan growled, shifting back. “We need to get out of here. The entire fucking place is coming down.”
He lifted me up bridal style as Lola’s wolf grabbed Ames before the entire side of the building crumbled down where he had been moments earlier. I didn’t argue. He leapt from the castle as more parts crumbled down.
“We need to make sure they don’t escape!” I shouted.
“They won’t! Stay here!” Rayhan said, placing me down before he rushed inside again.
I looked around. I needed to put a barrier up before someone escaped. Another ground-shaking blast knocked me off my feet, and I tumbled over before the King grabbed my arm, pulling me up just as large cracks appeared in the earth.
My heart thundered, looking at his terrifying form. His glowing red eyes looked into mine for a second before he was gone in a blur, ripping Zelda apart before he bit into her heart, destroying it.
Fuck Eldridge! She was fucking strong.
“This is my fucking call!” Janaina hissed, chanting a spell. A large gust of wind came rushing towards the castle, and I knew she was going for the source of the spell.
I looked around. Everything was a mess, but it seemed most people had stepped down. Chris was holding Raihana, who was bleeding from her arm. The King had ripped up a few more people to pieces who had tried to attack him, growling at the rest to stay back. I looked back at the castle that was falling apart, hoping all those who were inside were out. Amoria wasn’t dead. Her heart hadn’t been ripped from her chest… I needed to talk to her, one final time before I passed my verdict.
Looking around, I snuck inside, ducking and diving from the boulders of stone that crashed to the ground. I blasted a few away, my eyes trying to adjust and see through the cloud of dust and the falling debris, searching for Amoria.
“Looking for someone, little sister?” her sinister voice came from behind me before pain erupted in my head…
Tell Me Why
Delsanra
Ialmost fell to my knees from the pain, but I focused on my power, letting it roll off me in waves. She was slammed away, and I whirled around, glaring at her.
“I actually thought I’d give you a chance,” I hissed.
“I don’t need a chance, Delsanra. I want you dead!”
