” Touch her with your filthy hands and you will lose them faster than you can say ‘it’ ” Darryl’s cold voice slithered through the entire hall and a small smile made its way up to Diana’s face at the sound of her mate’s voice. Her body trembled violently in want but she calmed herself down, that wasn’t the time to lust him. There was a big issue on the ground that she needed to solve.
Leonard’s face morphed into pure anger as he searched for the direction of the voice. He kicked his Beta who was still clutching his chest in pain out of his way to look for wherever the vampire king was hiding. Diana threw the banquet away and folded her arms watching her brother’s rage multiplied by ten folds.
” Show your face, you wretched creature” Leonard growled, his eyes turning pitch black instead of the normal golden color peculiar to when his wolf fights for dominance. Black veins grew in vines around his neck and his skin became deathly pale. Diana gasped in shock at his appearance. He was no longer a werewolf but something else.
” I do not need to hide from the likes of you” Darryl smirked making his appearance from the end of the aisle. He was holding Brittany’s dead body, dragging her down with him. The body was still looking fresh but dark blood stained the pink bridesmaids dress that Brittany was wearing. Her neck was broken and twisted in a weird angle. Her dead eyes stared back at everyone who made eye contact with it.
Diana snarled at him at the sight of Brittany’s body. He knew she wanted to kill the traitor by herself but he had ruined all the fun for her. He only offered her a small smile while muttering ” My bad, I couldn’t resist. The demon wouldn’t respect my crown” to her. She huffed but still remained at the altar.
There was a series of loud gasps in the hall. The wolves were frightened by the sight of the vampire in their midst and worst still, he was dragging the body of one of their pack members. According to the stories their Alpha told them after Kiona wiped their memories, the Vampires were the reason why they were hiding from the world. And once they were found, those beings would end them without mercy.
After Darryl were the royal werewolves, they marched into the hall holding silver swords and chains with gloved hands. They were instructed by the Alpha king to escort innocent pack members out while he dealt with the traitorous Alpha and his Beta.
Dropping the dead body on the ground, he said ” I understand you working with a vengeful bitch like Kiona, your hatred for me must be deep but have you ever sat down in your life and learned your place? Now you work with demons too?”
Leonard’s growl resonated through the entire hall. He hated how cocky the vampire king was sounding. The eyes of the two guards that wanted to grab Diana earlier also turned pitch black including the head of the pack warriors and all pack warriors. They all turned into demons. Corris’s mouth opened wide in shock at the appearance of all the werewolves, even though he was the Gamma of the pack, he had no idea about the sudden transformation. He took a look at Howard and was relieved to find the beta still normal.
The entire hall turned into chaos as normal pack members begged for their lives, the pups were crying and mothers begged the royal wolves for their children’s lives. The royal wolves had to battle between protecting themselves and the innocent wolves from the bite of the demons while also preventing the demons from following them outside. Some of them fought the demons with the silver chains bravely and managed to bring down half of their numbers with few casualties on the royal wolves’ side.
After a few hours, they managed to escort everyone out of the grand hall. They locked the door tightly behind them leaving only the Alpha and his demon army, the Beta, the Gamma the vampire king, and his mate inside the hall. Some of them waited outside in case some demons escaped.
” You think I will sit back here and watch you take my sister away from me? No! I would rather die than watch her mate with a horrible creature like you” Leonard snarled moving closer to the vampire king. With a smirk on his face, he continued. He enjoyed the chaos but he still doesn’t understand why the vampire king remained unbothered.
” These are my army from the underworld. I stole the summoning horn from that stupid witch and I freed two demons from the underworld. And with those two demons, I created more than hundreds just for a day like this. I have been planning for a day like this ever since my sister woke up from a coma. I knew you would be back so I prepared in secret against a day like this, her memory loss was an advantage for me you see, it helped me prepare more but a stupid Beta didn’t notify me beforehand thanks to one of my loyal demons whom you have just killed, I was able to gather my great army and wait for you to show up.”
” Funny how you call me a wretched creature but you have just become one yourself.” Darryl let out a chuckle and moved closer to him. A vein almost burst in Leonard’s forehead at the vampire king’s reaction. He wasn’t scared, he was still cool with everything. “Sorry but demons don’t freak me, I have killed enough of them to last me a lifetime. Do you want to know a secret?” His eyes turned red as he advanced toward Leonard without a warning, he landed a full punch on the right side of the alpha-turned demon’s face. A sickening crunch could be heard as Diana only scowled at the action.
” You will ruin the fun Darryl” Diana whined pouting her lips while Darryl only smiled at her. ” I won’t. I promised you little one” He winked at her as he grabbed Leonard’s collar. ” Vampires and demons are distant cousins” He whispered to Leonard before sending him flying with a kick. Other demons in the halls have started fighting the royal wolves. While some surrounded Darryl in an attempt to protect Leonard.
Leonard stood up and attacked Darryl again using his newfound powers but Darryl only defended himself not even trying to attack him in return. His annoyed growl shook the entire hall as the vampire king continued to you with him. Corris joined the royal wolves in fighting off the demons while also trying to avoid getting bitten by the creatures.
Diana watched the entire chaos with her arms folded. Only watched her mate toy with her brother. Howard could hardly stand up since half of his strength and abilities were gone already. He was useless and Diana ignored him.
” Come on! Stop defending yourself and fight me!” Leonard roared angrily increasing his speed and attacks but became more frustrated when the vampire king kept dodging them with ease. He was about to throw another punch at Darryl when he felt Darryl’s hand on his throat, squeezing the life out of him. He tried to fight his hold but the vampire king was too strong for him even with his newly found powers. He looked around to see the royal wolves already killing most of his demons. He was losing.
” I would love to finish this but you know I don’t want to ruin the fun for her,” Darryl said increasing his hold on his neck while taking a look at Diana. Leonard used the opportunity and landed a kick on Darryl’s side. He didn’t expect the sudden attack so His hold weakened and he released Leonard but before he could regain himself. The sneaky demon Alpha was already beside Diana with his hands wrapped around his sister’s neck. Darryl’s eyes widened in alarm.
” Get your hands off my mate you mutt” Darryl snarled dangerously low.
” Rather than watch you mate with my sister, I will kill her and kill myself also” Leonard growled his grip tighter on Diana’s neck.
” He said” Diana’s voice croaked out as his hold became tighter
” keep your hands off his mate!” Diana growled ripping his hands off his body with just one sling of her arm. Her eyeballs were fully red, it was then Leonard who knew the person in front of him wasn’t Diana but Decanal. His arms regrew back to the normal position because of his demon blood. He gasped at the sight of his sister who already had her claws out.
” Jeez! I don’t want to ruin my mother’s wedding dress” Diana pouted half-shift.
” I will have another one made for you baby” Darryl blew a kiss at her and she blushed slightly before her face became covered in black fur.
” How?” Leonard gasped at the sight. He had done everything to keep the wolf away from Diana, he even had Brittany give her a fake key but Diana didn’t even show up at the storage room where he had waited for her the other night.
” I will tell you how” Decanal responded.
