Chapter 233
His found Lycan Luna Chapter 109
Kyson POV
Once his heart stopped beating and hey dead on the rack, I cleaned my hands and most of my face
to not scare any of the staff or the children too severely while trying to figure out our next move. I would
also have to send
ake sure no hunters or council are, in fact, here as Tanner imed. Gannon and Liam were prepping to
dismember the rest of Tanner, so he could be thrown in the furnace for disposal. I headed to the stairs
when everything shook violently above me. The ground rumbling knocked me off bnce. Smoke and
dust filled the air making it difficult to breathe and see, and my lungs were restricted as I tried to right
myself.
My ears finally stopped ringing as I got to my feet in fear for Azalea. I could barely make out Gannon
and Liam through the haze, and the noiseing from upstairs was horrendous. Looking through the
smoke and crushed rock, I see Liam and Gannon. They were banged up a bit but thankfully alive. I
pivoted and sprinted for the stairs when searing pain ripped through my side. The hunters! They were
in the tunnels leading past the dungeon. Rage overtook me as I shifted. My vision became consumed
with red as the insignia became visible a few yards away.
They have taken enough from me, Azalea, and everyone in this Kingdom! Made orphans and refugees
from their sick agenda. I could see Gannon and Liam shift in my peripheral vision. They would not take
any more lives while I still stood. We were in rhythm, eviscerating the lot of them. Not one heartbeat
remained in my keen hearing other than my own and theirs as I listened for footsteps while screaming
orders through the mind–link for the staff and Azalea to get to the tunnels or bunkers.
I told Gannon and Liam to go protect Azalea and the others, not that they had a choice with the pact
oath. It would be natural instinct to them, leaving me to check the tunnels. I stalked through the back
tunnels making sure there weren‘t any hunters left hiding.
I got no reply from Azalea, yet I could feel she was alive, although panicked. Trey, I knew, was trying to
get her and
giving me a run–down of what was going on above while I scoured the tunnels, ripping the wires from
bombs nted beneath the castle everywhere.
The ceiling above exploding sent rocks and debris crashing down on me as I hit a fork in the tunnels. I
turned to my left, wanting to take the tunnel that came out by the river, when the tunnel started
exploding, I was forced to run in the opposite direction toward the tunnels leading to the stables and
forest.
I was nearly at the opening directly beneath the burned–down stables and could hear fighting above as
I drew nearer, echoing through the tunnel. Over the noise, I barely catch the whizzing noise that perked
my ears all toote. Burning pain crumpled me to the floor.
A dart embedded in my torso. As another hit the center of my chest as my knees hit the ground. I
yanked it out, the stench of wolfbane entering my nose. I lifted my head and snarled, looking for the
person responsible through the thick smoke.
There wasn‘t enough wolfsbane to kill me, but enough to slow me down, and too many would knock me
out. Getting to my feet, my hand on the stone wall helps push me up, and I stagger as the wolfsbane
poisons me.
I was trying to burn it out of my system as a voice I despised echoed in front of me. Ester!
“You just had to take that whore as your mate! I would have forgotten Crux‘s n altogether, but no,
you had to choose that whore. I should have been your Queen, not her.” she snarls, holding the dart
gun up aimed at my chest.
“I was willing to forget Crux‘s deal, but then, like a fucking ghost of the past, that bitch returns! I should
have killed her when I had the chance, should have killed her that night in the forest when we found
them!” Ester snarls before
pulling the trigger. I throw myself against the other side.
The dart narrowly misses me as it hits the ground behind me, just as another explosion goes off above.
The entire tunnel shakes and I see her eyes widen when she realizes it is about to crumble down
around us. With a arowl. I take off the way I came, knowing there is another tunnel that leads to the
forest on the opposite side.
Ester roars behind me, and I hear her following me as she continues her rant. Luckily, the dust and
smoke offered some cover. I knew I wouldn‘t get close enough to her while she held that gun. The
wolfsbane was searing in my veins, and I was growing weaker by the second. I cringe, and duck as
another explosion goes off in another tunnel.
“I got her! I found the Queen!” Trey yells through the mind–link as I push past the copsed tunnel and
turn for another. It should spit me out into the forest beside the bunkers. The tinging sound of Ester
unleashing a dart with her gun whizzes past my head.
I just needed to get out to the open, knowing I could take her out. In these narrow tunnels, she had the
advantage of being not only smaller but also the gun, ensuring that I would be forced to keep my
distance. One more dart and she would take me out, and she knew that. That is why she kept her
taunting as I forced my feet to keep moving.
“Marrissa told me Azalea was dead. Stupidly, I believed her. Had i known she was alive, I would have
finished her off too. Her father ruined me, used me!” she screams as I try to keep moving. I just needed
to burn it out of my system. If I stopped, I knew I wouldn‘t get back up. What was in those darts? I
cursed, my legs faltering as my pace slowed. Têxt belongs to N?velDrama.Org.
“I thought he loved me!” Sheughs like a maniac. I could hear her drawing closer.
“Turns out he was fooling around with me to piss off my brother. What better way to get back at his
wife‘s mate than to fuck his sister? Then he tried to destroy me and take my baby from me. I kept him
thinking maybe Garret would change his mind once he was born. How was I supposed to know he
wouldn‘t inherit the Landeena gifts? And he shunned me again, but I made him pay for that mistake.
Crux was right. Garret Landeena was nothing but a maniptive prick!” I hear her.
Seeing the light up ahead, I feel another dart skim past me, the feathers grazing my arm as it narrowly
misses me.
The sounds of panicked servants reach my ears, and relief floods me, knowing they got out and were
near the bunkers to take cover, so I knew Azalea must be close by. I just had to get to her. Seeing the
narrow opening up ahead, I push harder, forcing myself to run, and I drop my shoulder.
This one came out on the mountainside, with a wire gate blocking the entry. I see kids rush past the
exit headed for the bunker with the castle servants, and my shoulder crashes against the mesh, making
them jump just as Peter runs by me.
I crash through the mesh just as she growls and tosses the now empty dart gun at me. It hits me on the
downfall as I burst through the meshed gate and spill out onto the mountainside. My body rolls as my
momentum is off, and I m against a tree.
Ester growls, stepping out of the open tunnel, and stalking toward me. Yet the wolfsbane in my system
burned my veins like acid and scorched my insides as it made its way through muscle and tissue.
Igroan, pushing up off the ground with one hand, knowing I had to get to Azalea and end this bitch. My
vision blurs as she stalks toward me, and I force myself up, swaying as I clutch the tree I rolled into.
Staggering, I swing wildly at her, and sheughs, jumping back as my vision doubles. Yet I could feel it
was slowly and painfully burning out of my system. Whatever she gave me was stronger than just
wolfsbane. However, the more I pushed through the pain, the toxins burned out slowly. My muscles no
longer spasmed the way they had been, though my vision was dangerously blurry.
“I thought I enjoyed killing ire, but I think I will enjoy killing the Lycan King more,” Esterughs when
I see a shadow move behind her. My eyes flick back to her, Yet as she flexes her fingers, her ws slip
free, and she raises
her arm to end me. My reflexes are slower yet still, my hand whips out at thest second, catching her
wrist, when I hear a scream.
Ester tenses and staggers, forcing me to let her go as she stumbles toward me onto one knee. Only
when I do do notice Peter behind her, a branch in his hand. He lifts it, swinging it again at her head
before turning into a frenzied rage and raining blow after blow down on her as I get to my feet again.
“I loved you! I loved you, but you couldn‘t love me!” he roared, repeatedly swinging the branch at her
head.
Tears streaked down his face as he bashed her head in, crushing her skull into the earth. Brain matter
spilled out her ears and through the back of her skull as it cracked open like an egg. Yet he still swung,
the branch breaking in his hands when I grabbed him, hauling him back with my arm across his chest.
He screams, brandishing the broken branch, and I look down at Ester. Her head was crushed under his
blows and no longer distinguishable to the eye. “Where is Azalea?” | gasp, and Peter looks up at me
over his shoulder.
“With the others, I will take you,” He tells me as he points toward the castle, and he runs ahead while I
stagger, trying to keep up with him. I could hear fighting and the chaos of war.
Peter runs up the incline as more children rush down the hill with staff. I see rice standing at the top
when she suddenly screams, making my heart splutter in my chest, and adrenaline fuels me to move
faster.
| slip on the wet grass,ing up behind her to see Azalea stop, and Trey screams out for her at the
exact second. I tracked her movements to see her go after Logan, who was walking into the line of fire
and in the wrong direction. My eyes widen in horror, and my heart pumps erratically.
A gasp escapes me when I see Azalea run directly into the path of the hunters to retrieve him. It felt like
everything slowed down, time almost stopping for a few fateful moments. Or maybe I thought it did as I
watched my mate risk her life to save the boy.
Trey shoves Tyson into rice‘s arms and runs after her just as I regain my footing on the slippery
slope when Abbie screams out to her. Azalea lifts her head and looks at Abbie just as Abbie‘s body
collides with Azalea‘s, her arms locking around her in a hug, and she pivots. At that second, I noticed
the hunter with his gun aimed directly at her.
The bang of the gun going off echoed, and my heart stopped in my chest when I watched Abbie jolt in
Azalea‘s arms.
“More than my life,” Abbie rasps out, the whisper catching on the wind and reaching me just as
Azalea‘s visceral, agonized scream does. “Abbie! No!”
The sound was so broken, soul–crushing and gut-wrenching as her agony sliced through my chest like
her scream cut through the wind, silencing everyone briefly as they looked in her direction. Azalea‘s
pain for her loss broke my heart as I felt hers incinerate in her chest.
I stumble down the hill toward her as she wails and cries out for Abbie, clutching her tightly. Azalea
hung on to her, trying to hold her limp body as Abbie copsed forward against her, Logan trapped
between them,
Gannon‘s howl had me lifting my head to see him tearing across the paddock and barreling toward
Azalea. Tyson screams for his mother, kicking and screaming in rice‘s arms, making her drop him.
rice chases him just as Trey tackles the hunter, who lifts his gun and points it at Azalea.
“Abbie! Abbie!” Azalea wailed and screamed, trying to wake her as she shook her, clutching her tightly.
Huntersid strewn across the ground, most of them dead as my guards and the Landeena guards
took out thest of them on the hill, yet I could see more wereing up from the river and from
around the sides of the castle. We were severely outnumbered and all I could think was I needed to get
to Azalea, yet she was moving, and wasn‘t letting her go, she just stopped as if a part of her died along
with Abbie.
Logan escapes from in between Azalea and Abbie, running to rice as Azalea rocked back and forth
on the ground with Abbie clutched in her arms. “More than my life! More than my life!” she screamed,
as if saving it loud enough would bring her back.
Gannon falls to his knees, clutching his dead mate in his arms, forgetting the war going on around us
when a de
slices down my back, forcing my attention back to fight. I am forced to fight my way to them as spin to
find a hunter hade at me from the side, his dagger embedded in my side, and I pull it free, my
ws sinking into the side of his neck as I sh at him.
Trey moved alongside me as hunters came from everywhere. From up over the hills, out of the forest,
and spewing out from the castle, they just kepting. Even those who tan for safety in the bunkers
were now spewing back onto the battleground as hunters chased them back toward us.
The Landeena guards, my guards, form a circle around our Queen. rice flees with the kids, and
Peter barely makes it past our circle of defense that offered little safety as all guards covered the
Queen.
Guns were drawn and aimed at my body, my back bing a target as they unleashed on us. I clutch
my stomach as a bullet embedded in my side, then my stomach. Pain ricochets through me, and I
stagger as I keep fighting. Nothing else mattered. Only getting to Azalea did.
Another bullet pierces through my shoulder when I hear her scream as she feels my pain. The ground
shook when was brought to my knees. When Crux‘s booming voice echoes through smoke and dust as
they surrounded us. They would always know this day as the day the Valkyrie Kingdom fell. The day
the hunters took the Lycania Kingdoms down.
We were circled entirely as Crux stepped out of the shadows and smoke and onto the battlefield. His
smug smile of triumph seared into me. He was a traitor to his own kind. A betrayer to all.
