‘Chase is gone, your Serene highness. He has left us.’ Evan says to me through mind link.
Josey continues to scream as tears fall on my face.
“What’s happening?” Josey asks looking up at me.
“Josey, Chase is dead.” I say and Josey shakes her head no.
Cj kneels down in front of Josey and pulls her in for a hug. Anthony releases his power.
Forcing Cayden to drop to his knees and to bow his head. Anthony walks up to Cayden, pulls him by his hair and punches him on his face.
Cayden turns blue, alerting us of his power but Anthony maintains his grip on Cayden. Seemingly unaffected by Cayden’s icy nature.
“I didn’t properly introduce myself. I’m Anthony from the first werewolf family and you just killed a member of my family.” Anthony says before he himself, emits a coldness that one feels when touching ice.
Anthony.
I was finally witnessing one of his powers.
Cayden’s eyes bulge out before Anthony throws a ball of fire back in the cottage, where loud screams could be heard before the entire cottage blew up.
Anthony punched Cayden again before throwing him to the ground. He walked in to the cottage, that was engulfed in flames. Even louder screams could be heard as the fire became stronger.
Anthony walks out with a frozen Thomas, throwing him on the ground next to Cayden. Cayden gets on his knees to check on Thomas but before he could touch him, Anthony rips his head off.
“The next time you plot to kill my family, make damn sure you have nothing to lose.” Anthony says before grabbing Cayden by the neck and disappearing with him.
Josey screams out again as Evan tells me about Clayton. Cj tries to comfort her but it was no use.
I help them both up before taking us back to the castle. Josey runs to the recovery room as Cj and I follow Anthony’s scent.
It was not the first time I see Anthony fight but it was the first time he showed such emotion. The first time I witness such a power.
I had forgotten my brother was the heir to the first family throne. He would take after my father and obviously had to be just as strong, if not stronger.
We are twins.
He had to be born with powers and it was clear I needed better training on my abilities. Anthony, trained by Hunter, just proved that I needed to go to school so I can better use my gifts.
While Hunter sorts out my school stuff, my main focus right now is Josey.
I don’t know how we are going to move past this and I don’t know how to approach this.
Cayden was back in his cell, unconscious. Anthony was standing there, looking at Cayden and fuming.
“Let me kill him. Please.” Anthony asks me and I don’t respond.
“I think we should kill him. Goddess knows what other plans he has up his sleeve.” Cj advises and I remain quiet.
Did he really have to go that far to get Josey? Was it really necessary?
I would have been more okay with him just using compulsion but killing her mates?
“No. Don’t kill him.” Josey says from behind us. We all turn around to face her.
“I know why he killed them. He did everything to get to my vampire. He did all of this to awaken her, for me to feed.” Josey says to us. Her eyes red, showing her vampire’s presence.
“He wanted me to come in to my new self. With my wolf weakened, the vampire in me finds strength. You will not kill him as I am his and he is now mine.” Josey says and we all just stand there, stunned.
Could it be? Cayden outsmarted us all and killed her mates to kill her wolf? But her wolf was still there, just weak from losing her two mates.
Although now, if Josey’s vampire is stronger when Josey’s wolf is weak, she will never allow the wolf to heal.
What have I done by allowing Josey to turn?
Arianna comes running to us, she was visibly shaking. Cj pulls her in for a side hug as Arianna grabs my hands.
“The war is on. Josey will have a son, a half wolf and half vampire with abilities. The only one that can defeat him is Adrastos, I believe that is why we had the vision of your son being the only one to win this war for all of us.” Arianna says.
What. The. Fuck!?
