Ashlyn

“Oh, look who the bat dragged in. You must be here to collect your father of the year award.” I told him, standing up. I gave him the finger while I walked over to the glass.

There was a crack on my side and I was going to distract them so I could make the witch’s knot over the crack. Hopefully, my magic can break through the glass. That was my plan, anyway, and at this point I had nothing to lose in trying.

“And it looks like you’re trapped, little wolf.” Gregory smirked at me.

“I now fully understand why your mate faked her own death.” I told him, cleaning out my nails.

“Why you fucken bitch?” He snarled. And I looked at him.

“And I know why your two other kids hate you as well. I can’t believe my mother ever let you touch her. Out of her four other mates, you’re the one she fucked.” I said, holding out my hand like it was the most interesting thing in the world. I was trying to draw their attention to one hand while I used my other to draw the symbol.

My knuckles were no longer bleeding, so I pricked the tip of my finger and went to work while I smirked at the two idiots in front of me.

“She’s feisty, too bad I won’t be able to enjoy her before I kill her.” Theo said, and I almost threw up. I was trying not to hate vampires, but he was making it difficult.

“Well, you couldn’t be that good if your mate had to find someone else. At least she got to have some good sex before you killed her.” I had to suck on my lips to hold back my laugh. The look Theo gave me was priceless, shock and disbelief with a hint of anger. He looked like he was ready to kill me, after his tiny brain finally caught up to what I had just said. But if he wanted to, he would either have to come into the cell or he’d have to pull me out. Either way, there wouldn’t be glass protecting him from my fury.

I could hear Ian and Alex groaning. They were waking up from their unconscious state. I needed to get them out of here before the warlock and the vampire turned their attention to them and used them to make me suffer. I couldn’t watch either of them being tortured and killed.

“I do not know what Derek even sees in you, you defiant bitch.” Theo growled out as soon as he recovered from my burn.

“He’s clearly more man than you’ll ever be if he can handle a woman like me.” I smiled ever so sweetly.

“You won’t be saying that when I’m bleeding you dry and throwing your lifeless body in a ditch somewhere.” He smirked.

“Are you coming in? It’s kind of a mess, but I could always come to you.” I shrugged. He punched the glass with one of his fists, but I ignored him.

“And what do you gain from all of this?” I turned my attention to my sperm donor.

“Oh, wait, let me guess. You want my magic, and he gets my powers of the elements? You both just cut out the middle people, so you killed Susan, Grace and his grandfather. Yeah, I hate sharing too.” I said.

“She’s good.” Theo turned to his partner in crime. Ian let out a whimper. But before they could turn their attention to their prisoners, I smashed my palm over the mark and willed my magic to flow through it.

“What the?” But before Theo could finish what he was saying. The glass exploded and both of them went flying, hitting the floor with a sickening thud before rolling, only stopping when they hit a wall on the other side of the room.

Without wasting time, I ran over to Alex, who was more alert than Ian. Ian probably put up a bigger fight to protect me. I focused my magic, grabbing the chains and they melted off of Alex, releasing him.

“Ashlyn,” Alex breathed out.

“We don’t have time. Help me get Ian. I have to get you both out of here.” I rushed out, while I rushed over to Ian. He was conscious, but barely.

“Ashlyn, you’re alive.” He choked out. I did the same with Ian’s chains and he was now free. I grabbed one arm and Alex grabbed his other one. We both had to support his weight as we made our way out of this place.

I didn’t know where I was leading us, but I figured I’d take a chance. I had to get Ian and Alex out of here before I could clean up this entire mess Susan started. But wherever we were, it was a maze from hell.

“Ian, I’ll need you to go with Alex so I can stop them.” I told him.

“Babe, I’m not leaving you here to die.” He choked out.

“Ian, I need you to be safe. You can’t fight, you can barely stand.” I told him as we came upon more stairs.

“For fuck sakes.” I curse. I turned to look at Alex.

“Get Ian up the stairs. I’ll be right behind you,” I told him.

“Ashlyn!” Ian yelled, grabbing my arm.

“I’m blocking the path for them. Now go!” I commanded. He hesitated before Alex could drag Ian up the stairs. As soon as they had almost reached the top, I focused on the building. I wanted to make this side of the building collapse. Hopefully, they will be crushed, but if not, maybe it will slow them down enough so we can escape and get help.

I wasn’t entirely sure what I was doing, but I pictured the walls in front of me caving in. I willed them to fall and the building rumbled and shook as my magic grew around me.

When the magic became too much, I released it by throwing my arms out. The magic hit the walls and everything exploded. Before my brain could even register what I had just done, my legs were running up the stairs.

“Better move.” I yelled out before I was beside Ian and Alex again. I heard something explode and flames engulfed that side of the building. Alex and I hurried to get away from the collapsing floor after I grabbed Ian again.

“I’m sorry. I may have overdone it.” The building was collapsing behind us. I knew Ian was trying to move as fast as he could, but I could tell that someone had broken his leg and was still healing. His poor face was covered in blood and one of his eyes was swollen shut.

After one more set of stairs, I finally knew where we were. We were at the council building. This must be the main floor. How many basements can one building have for the love of the goddess?

“I know where we are, just down this hall and we should be at the entrance.” I told them. I was wondering where all the staff were and where the hell the warriors were.

We were almost out of the building when Tundra yelled in my head.

“Behind you!”

I turned just in time for a broken piece of debris to be thrown in my direction. It lodged in my hip, making me scream out. I gripped the piece of wood before looking back to see Theo making his way through the debris and the crumbled cement.

“Fuck, we need to move.” I pulled out the piece of wood from my hip with a groan and pushed open the front door. Ian was moving faster than his leg was healing, but there was no way we could outrun a very pissed-off vampire king.

As soon as we were standing in the driveway, I got on my hands and knees to draw the protection knot, using my blood again.

“Ashlyn, what are you doing?” Alex asked while Ian was trying to catch his breath. I didn’t answer until it was done and I stepped out of the knot.

“It’s for your protection,” I said, and the knot lit up. Ian reached his hand out and was stopped by my magic. I could see his panic when he looked at me.

“Ashlyn, let us out. We can help.” Ian yelled out.

“I have to do this and enough people have died.” I told him, holding my hand up and placing it over his. The front door flew off the hinges and landed just to the left of us. I knew Theo had arrived to end this.

“Ian, tell my mates and my son that I love them. And Ian, I love you.” I told him before I turned my attention to a beat-up looking vampire king who now looked like a truck had hit him.

I could see his fury, but he was obviously injured as he was limping and covered in blood. He also had a nasty cut on his forehead, and the blood running down his face made him look even more deranged. His face will forever haunt my nightmare as he approached me.

“You fucken bitch! All you had to do was hand over your powers and you could have gone home to your fucken mates. But no, you had to be the fucken hero. And in this story, the hero will die a horrible, unimaginable death.” He growled out. I could now see my gold dragon flying above and my heart ached for my mates and for our son.

“Sorry to break it to you, but I couldn’t give you my powers, even if I wanted to. And besides, I don’t even have them anymore.” I told him while I stood in my fighting stance. He stopped in his tracks, stunned at what I had just told him.

“You are lying!” He screamed.

“I’m not! I gave up my powers. All of this was a waste of time because I no longer have them. I can’t believe I felt sorry for you.” I yelled out.

“Well now, I’ll just kill you and take your position at the top and rule the kingdoms.” He said, and I started laughing.

“What the fuck is so funny?” He growled. As I was wiping a tear from my eye.

“That you honestly think that the kingdoms will follow you. The four other kingdoms will rise and kill off your kingdom. And if you don’t believe me, you’re an even bigger idiot than you look.” With that, he moved at a speed that my eyes couldn’t register and he punched me in the face, sending me to my ass.
