All of their eyes were fixed on Rayhan, who was bigger than them. His aura was immeasurable, but they had numbers on their side. Blake smirked.
“Well, I don’t mind starting with the younger Rossi,” he said, shifting as he jumped at Rayhan.
Everything happened so fast. Rayhan tossed him aside, ripping two wolves to pieces as he lunged at Blake.
I began to break free from some of the chains that bound me. The entire room suddenly glowed, and I felt a burning pain rush through my legs. Runes. The entire place was spelled and somehow connected to me. Shit…
“Rayhan! Grab Raihana! Run!” I screamed. They were going to hold us here!
Just as I thought things couldn’t get worse, I saw Papa Raf’s wolf leap through the entrance, growling menacingly. It took me a few seconds to recognise who the masked woman on his back was. Dressed in black with two long curved swords in her hands, she reminded me of an assassin or a warrior princess.
Seconds later, several other wolves jumped through the entrance before the barrier slammed high, trapping us inside. I came back to reality, realisation hitting me hard.
No... this is exactly what they wanted.
We had been bait.
I watched as if in slow motion as Chris’ wolf rushed to Raihana, and Luna Maria jumped off her mate’s back, slicing through the closest wolf. Never had I seen a swordswoman move so elegantly yet ruthlessly.
I took a deep breath, ready to break free, when a whispery voice brushed past my ear.
“One thing, Delsanra, break those chains, and the spell will become complete. No one will get to leave at all…” it taunted. My heart thudded as I looked down. Sure enough, the spells on the chains were seeping into the ground.
“The choice is yours. Your life or your so-called animal family’s,” Elinai hissed, making my blood run cold.
Our Strength
Delsanra
“Do not listen to her!” Luna Maria shouted. She was the only one in human form and the only one I could talk to. Shit… “Rayhan wants you to break free!” she shouted, spinning around as she gutted another wolf. They were never-ending.
I saw Lola tearing through a few wolves. No, they were right… I could help…
I closed my eyes, feeling myself shift. The pain from all the cuts that littered my body healed as flames raged high. I ripped free from the bindings that held me just as the glowing cage wrapped around the building completely.
My focus would be on Elinai and Eldridge. I would kill them, and I would free everyone.
“I’m going after the witches!” I shouted, knowing they could hear me even if they couldn’t shift.
A growl made me look back, and I smiled as Rayhan’s irritation was clear. He threw Blake’s body against the wall, only for Chris to dig his claws into his chest. Although it felt like they were playing with him, I knew they were going for the kill, but he seemed to be getting up each time… something was off.
Rayhan leapt towards me, growling lowly, and I nodded.Okay, you’re coming with me.
I looked upwards; the balcony that surrounded the lower hall was cast in darkness, but I knew they were up there. I ran up the stairs, Rayhan by my side. I whispered a spell, blasting an attacking wolf away as Rayhan ripped another one to pieces.
Feeling the pull inside of me, I knew they had drugged me enough to slow me down, but it didn’t matter; I was still strong.
I could barely see anything down below. Dust hung in the air, and the commotion of wolves and blood waseverywhere. I just hoped Raihana was okay.
Rayhan motioned with his head to get on, and I climbed onto his back as he rushed up the steps, rounding a corner only for a barrier to stop us from advancing. He growled venomously; my hands tangled into his silky fur.
“We have been preparing for far too long, Daughter of Darkness,” Eldridge spat. “You can still change sides. Choose the winning side.” I couldn’t see her; her voice was coming from every corner of the hall.
“Fuck you,” I spat coldly.
Whispering a spell, I raised my hand, ready to tear their shield away. It blazed brightly before shattering, and I heard a gasp. I smiled coldly.
“You say I’m the daughter of darkness… so, allow me to show you the darkness within me. For everything you have done,” I said icily, sending a blast of fire in every direction.
