I had never seen my pack in this bad of shape. Bo had lost the use of Ares and lay in a puddle of his
own blood. I wasn't surprised when Amanda rushed over to his side. Hopefully, she'd be able to do
something for him.
"How?" the demon demanded of me, snarling the word. "You were so far behind us. How?"
"It's a little easier when you know the fastest path," Tyler added. His green flames had condensed into
several green balls and they rotated around his head. He looked from one to the other with a frown and
then over at the battle ground.
"What is it?" It would take time to trust these creatures, but I'd decided to do so.
"There's another battle going on that isn't right here." He nodded towards the group of pups huddled
together and crying over Bo. "There's more of them than this. It looks like another of those demons
have them trapped and is torturing them."
"Take care of them," I ordered with a nod. Tyler gave me a grin before he raced off into another
building. I almost felt sorry for the demons. Their main leader was scared of these hell hounds after all.
Jesse snarled like a wild beat and jumped into the middle of a group of the demons. His orange flames
scattered from his body like bullet hell and demons were sent flying when they were touched, This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
screaming as they want.
He did a backflip to avoid their attacks and landed on top of another demon. Using his claws, fangs,
and flames he made short work of the attack until nothing was left but a pile of ash.
"This won't be enough to stop me." The leader got to his feet and strode toward me. "I don't care if you
are the Prime. I won't rest until you all die." He pointed his palm out and a smaller and weaker version
of the wind shield sprouted to life and wrapped around me.
"It's a good thing he's not alone," Raul growled as he jumped beside him with his red flames blazing.
The leader jerked as if he'd been shocked. "No!" maybe he remembered what this particular hound
could do.
"Kill him," I ordered.
Raul didn't need anymore urging he snarled and snapped at the demon's throat. The shield he'd hastily
thrown up was no match for Raul's magic. The wind field was gradually ate away as Raul's flames
absorbed it.
The demon growled at us like a cornered beast. "You don't deserve this land, Prime. You are a
murderer and just because you're getting your way today doesn't mean it will always be that way."
"Getting my way?" I smiled at him with my fangs. "My way is for your sorry excuse of a heart to be
yanked from your body, demon."
"You're still no match."
The thin barrier winked away as Raul finished absorbing it and wasting no time he pinned his enemy
down a heavy paw straight on his chest. The monster struggled to free himself but Raul wouldn't be
moved. The hound leaned down until his face was inches from the demon and he opened wide. His
orange flames flared to life all around him and he merged them into one super powered flame before
slowly forcing it down the demon's throat.
At least I would have one more enemy taken care of. It wasn't all of the demons but losing a powerful
leader would no doubt take their toll on them. I was eager to crush them after taking this man out.
The demon was lifted off his feet and away from Raul. I jerked my head up to see what had happened.
Had Jesse lost some of his enemies or maybe some of the demons that Tyler went after had returned?
"Cee!" Amanda called up at the woman. She glanced back and forth from the Bo she cradled in her
arms to the mystery figure floating through the sky before setting him down and running to her. "Cee,
you're okay!"
"I told you that I always made sure of things before I carried out any plans." she pointed to the demon.
"I am taking Jon back. I'll have need of him." she scanned all of us until her eyes fell on me.
"Cee, we don't have to fight. Please, let's talk this out," Amanda suggested. "We were both captives of
Aren. We know what kind of person he was."
"So?" Cee questioned with a shrug before turning her focus back on me. "Prime, do not think that you
have won today. We will take this land back, and kill all of you in the process." Her hand went to her
stomach. "My child will rule this place on your graves."
"Kill us?" Amanda whispered, taking a step back. "You can't be serious, right, Cee?"
"Mistress Cee?" squeaked that cat maid we had brought.
"You don't have to call her mistress anymore," Raul growled at her. He jerked his head from side to
side, seemingly eyeing a way to jump up and take revenge on Jon.
"But-"
"Please," Amanda whispered her hands clenched together and staring straight up at the red-hued
woman. "We don't have to be enemies. Please, Cee. We can work through this together."
"Sorry, Prime. You'll never see that offspring of yours again. This is your last warning. Gather your
things and leave. If you refuse our generosity once more than we will take it as a declaration of war."
Javier snorted. "You're the one that declared war on us! Why the hell would we believe your bitch
asses?"
Cee's eyes narrowed. "Luna of the Prime, it would serve you well to rid yourself of these lower class
mates."
Raul, Tyler, and Jesse jumped in front of us and opened their jaws wide. Orange, red, and green
flames soared through the air at the Luna and she threw up a shield to protect herself, but the attacks
went right through and struck her. She screamed as her flesh sizzled and she soared high into the sky
with her demons following after her. Her blood-red eyes were locked on me.
"We will return, Prime," she snarled through her pain before the lot of them vanished through the top of
the barrier.
I was going to have to find a way to make my power stronger. I couldn't have such an obvious
weakness on my lands.
"Bo," Amanda whispered going back to his side and hugging him close to her body. "Please, be okay."
I put a hand to my heart where Bo's pain still stung. He was still alive for now, but I had to make sure
he survive through this.
I wouldn't lose him.
