“You want to kill my mates? I will kill the one you love the most.” Josey says before using her clawed hands to pull out her spine, Cherisse screams in pain and Jose flinches at the loudness.
She let’s go of Cherisse, who falls to the ground before Josey gets on top of her.
Josey wraps her hands around her neck and squeezes hard, trying to pull the head off from her body. A slow and painful process for Cherisse, who was trying to get out of Josey’s grip but failing as she was weaker now.
“If you finish her off, I will kill you. Forget giving me a baby, I will tear you apart. Limb from limb.” Cayden says to Josey, who ignores him as she remains focused on Cherisse.
“Your first mistake was trying to force Josey’s hand. Don’t you know that killing her mates would’ve killed her too? If you think that stunt would push her in to your arms then wow. You don’t know much about our kind then.” I say as Cayden tries to look at me while keeping an eye on his dying sister.
“They were in my way. I want Josey and she made it clear that she was mated so I did what I thought was best.” Cayden responds.
“Best for you and not for Josey.” I say and Cayden tries to roll his eyes.
“I am the vampire king okay? I got used to getting my way.” Cayden responds and Josey chuckles.
“Well, I’m sorry for challenging you.” Josey retorts which earns her a glare from Cayden.
“Josey stop.” I say.
“Why? Had you not been there, my mates could’ve died! Mother wronged him but instead he takes it out on me. I did not take his mother away from him or ruin his life.” Josey says but she loosens her grip on Cherisse.
“You reignited it. I had given up on finding a woman that would carry my children until I met you. I will do anything and everything to make it happen with you, I’ll kill anyone that stands in the way of getting what I want.” Cayden says to Josey.
Josey stands up, walks closer to Cayden and growls.
“I did not ignite shit. You are dead to me.” Josey says before walking away, leaving me with a spineless vampire and a heartbroken one, no thanks to his actions.
“Evan, place Cherisse in a cell next to the vampire king. Don’t give her medical attention. Let’s see if she can heal from this and if she can’t, her brother can watch her die.” I say before walking away.
“I need that amulet, please.” Cayden calls out but I just ignore him. It was time to come up with a plan, a plan to annihilate all vampires, including the vampire king.
They made their own rules, they were completely inconsiderate of others, humans and wolves. Goddess knows what they would do to witches if they ever found one.
I make my way to Cj and Arianna, who were having tea in the garden.
“Arianna, is the threat still there? Will werewolves still go to war with vampires?” I ask her as I sit down, pouring myself a cup.
“I am not sure, I will have to contact my mother and my sisters, we will have to perform a ritual to also gain some clarity too. What happened to the twins?” Arianna asks and I sigh loudly.
“Cayden sent werewolf hunters to attack their pack and kill them. Jose and I arrived just as they slit their throats, knives laced with silver. I could not heal them without draining my energy and putting myself in danger so I brought them here.” I say and Arianna nods her head in understanding.
“I have a bad feeling though, there’s just a heavy cloud hanging over Josey. I’m not sure what it us but it is not good.” Arianna tells me as Josey comes running to us.
“Sabrina, you have to save him! Chase is dying.” Josey says and I immediately get on my feet, running to the recovery room with my siblings right behind me.
I walk inside to see Chase, choking on his own blood as an elder tries to help him. I rush to him, placing my hands on him. He stops coughing up blood, his eyes on Josey.
“Did you get all the silver out?” I ask looking at Chase’s wounds. There was one stab wound on his chest that did not sit well with me, it was not healing.
“He’s a Lycan. Silver should not be killing him. If he could survive the slitting of his throat, why not this one?” Josey chimes in.
“There’s too much silver in him, isn’t there? His wolf is too weak to heal him.” I say in a barely audible tone but I know everyone heard me.
“I’m afraid there is nothing I can do. He was stabbed multiple times, silver entering his bloodstream every time. Weakening him, his wolf. The stab on the chest was the final straw, that weakened him completely, allowing the human to slit his throat. I’m sorry, you will have to say your goodbyes.” The elder says before leaving the room.
Josey slowly gets on the bed, cuddling next Chase as she sobs. I start crying just looking at them.
“Sabrina, is there anything you can do?” Josey asks me and I look at Chase.
“I can try to heal you, the chest wound.” I say and Chase nods his head, allowing me to proceed.
“Wait! I know what could help. The amulet.” Arianna chimes in before I could begin trying to heal him.
