chapter 169
Unknown POV
Everything went to shit, the bitch was supposed to die. I went over my notes trying to figure out
how only half the explosives went off, even with just one going off it should have set the others off.
“I must have missed something I am sorry” Laura stutters out when I turn my anger toward the
pathetic woman she had one task, one fucking task she just had to squeeze under the house and
connect some fucking wires and she couldn’t even do that right even after I showed her numerous
times.
“Did you use the ck one with the red writing?” I ask her trying to figure out how she fucked up.
Her face pales.
“I thought you said the red one with ck writing” She stutters. Hopping up I walk over to the
cupboard to look at the bombs I made. Opening the closet door. I see the ck ones with the red
writing indicating they were live, so the only one that would of went of is the one I personally handed
her, the fucking stupid ditz.
“Are you a moron Laura, can you not follow fucking instruction you imbecile”
“It was a simple mix up, they were right beside each other” She says, flinching away from my
anger.
“You didn;t think it was a little odd the one I handed you was a different colour?” I ask her, she puts
her head down and I walk back to my desk flopping down in my chair annoyed at the blonde bimbo.
Only good thing that came out of this was that I discovered Thaddeus hadn''t had his magic, I still
thought he had his magic only realising he didn’t when he suddenly got it back and he was more
powerful than I originally thought, his magic was out of this world and after years of studying elemental
magic I came to one conclusion, it is ancestral magic. The sort of magic I would love to get control of,
the damage I could do with that, the control I could reap over the world and all those that thought my
science was for nothing. That I was wasting my time. Now I know what sort of power he has. I can work
on a way to control him and take it, manipte it for my needs. Everything has a loophole and I just
needed to find a way to break him, for him to lose sight of himself then maybe I won’t have to take it,
maybe the dark king wille to me, be my aplice. I wanted revenge but I would find a way to get
that, all while getting Thaddeus to submit to me, bing my secret weapon, one to exploit.
His sister would be a problem though, her magic was just as strong but purer. So is his daughter’s
from the blood sample we managed to retrieve from her. I could see something was amiss with her
blood, see the magic within it, it was easy to find if you know what you’re looking for. Now if I could just
get my hands on his daughter I know I will be able to control the beast himself, he would do my bidding
then.
“Where did they go? , have you got eyes on them at least after your failure?” I ask turning to face
the bitch that ruined my grand scheme.
“At his mother’s one of the scouts said”
“Good nowe here” I tell her and she gets up nervously, her eyes darting to the door and I
could smell the fear seeping from her pores.
“I can get you a blood bag,” She says, turning for the door.
“I don’t want a blood bag I want you, now fucking get here, don’t make me ask you again” I tell her.
Her blue eyes shone with tears. I could make it painless, but now where would be the fun in that. Her
blood tastes sweeter the more pained and fearful she is. She walks over slowly, her small steps
annoying me and I stand ripping her toward me, shoving her against my desk, trapping her. I grab her
hair ripping her head to the side and she screams at my grip, clutching my hands feebly.
“You Won''t fail me next time will you?” I ask her and I see tears roll down her pathetic face. She
shakes her head hissing as her hair pulls from the roots under my grip. I sink my teeth into her neck
savagely, her scream ringing loudly like music to my ears as her blood floods into my mouth. I drink
greedily from her, only stopping when I hear her screams die and she starts to go limp, letting her go
and she falls to the floor unconscious. I step over her walking out of the basement of my house leaving
the pathetic thing. She will know next time not to fail the tasks that are set for her or it will end in her
death next time.
Orion POV
One weekter
There was nothing left of her, just a shell, the week passing by in a blur and I felt nothingness from
her through the bond. Even our daughter couldn’t pull her out of herself. At the funeral she sat there
nkly, didn’t even shed a tear just stared at the tiny coffin. We buried our son on his parents property
seeing as our home was now destroyed none of us wanting to go back there, it would be torment
having to relive that day by going back to look at the destruction of the ce we once called home.
When the service was over Evelyn just stood up and walked away and she has been trapped in
her thoughts since, in aatose state. We have tried everything to bring her back, yet nothing has
worked. I was starting to think she was lost to us, lost and nevering back as she stares off nkly.
I have done nothing but argue with Thaddeus, he has refused to hand his magic back over,
refused to try to help her. He was angry that she assumed he was at fault for our sons death. After he
gave back her memories they had a huge fight, Evelyn convinced it has something to do with
Thaddeus past but no one hase after us in a year and those that did before hand are dead so it
made no sense he could be at fault, yet Evelyn’s rage was the worst I had ever seen it, she pped
him and told him she wished she never met him and I knew that hurt him the most. Thaddeus was

angry over his loss and her rejection of him. The darkness surrounding him has only got stronger and
stronger the longer it resides in him. Rnd has been house hunting, and when he is home he spends
all his time trying to bring her back while I am stuck here being a house husband. It was driving me
nuts just sitting around waiting for them to figure out everything. Thaddeus disappears most nights and
doesn’t return till morning. Maybe if he would just try to bring her back I wouldn’t be so angry at him but
he doesn’t even acknowledge Evelyn, even when he is in the same room as her he barely looks at her
and consumes himself with Amara.
Amara knows something is up with her mother, constantly climbing onto herp trying to get a
reaction from her but not even she is able to pull her mother out of her depression.
I had just put Mara down for bed, Amara had moved out of her room and into the main house so
we had our own space while Rnd looked for a new ce.
Looking over at Evelyn she sat nkly staring. Thaddeus hopping out of the shower steps in the
room, Rnd looking up at him from his position on the bed.
“Please Thaddeus just try and get her toe back, please don’t leave tonight stay” Rnd asks
but I know it''s pointless, he would do as he pleases with no regard for us.
“Why so she can me me, hate me for something I didn''t do?” He asks, pulling his shirt over his
head. Rnd gets up off the bed and runs his hands over Thaddeus chest.
“Please stay, where do you go anyway?” Rnd asks though I was pretty sure I knew where he
went. I just hoped I was wrong.
“Nowhere that concerns you” Thaddeus tells him, pushing past him and grabbing his pants and
chucking them on.
“Can you at least try to wake her?” Rnd says with a sigh. Thaddeus looks over at Evelyn and
growls his eyes turning pitch ck his growl waking our daughter. His eyes softening before he goes
over rubbing her belly putting her back to sleep, her eyes fluttering shut.
“You need to hurry up and find another ce, Rnd. This ce is too cramped” Thaddeus says
grabbing his jacket and walking out the door.
I chase after him grabbing his arm just as we step out of the shed. He stops turning to face me.
“What’s going on with you?” I ask him worriedly.
“You know exactly what’s wrong Orion” He says, shaking my arm off.
“I can’t keep doing this Thaddeus, I am sick of being stuck here on my own. You are always gone,
Rnd is either at work or house hunting its fucking lonely, you need to help her or at least help me”
“If its so bad then fucking leave” He snaps back at me.
“You don’t mean that?” I tell him and he spins around his fangs protruding and his eyes pitch ck.
“Don’t I? Because all I ever hear is you whinging, or you worrying about her but you never want
anything to do with me Orion. You find it so bad here then fucking leave we don’t need you” Thaddeus
yells.
I see the front porch light flick on and hear the door open. My stomach in knots at his words.
“Fine then we will leave. I am sick of this back and forth shit with you. It isn''t good for Amara” I tell
him, turning on my heel about to go back inside. I hear Thaddeus growl before I am tackled to the
ground, the impact knocking the air from my lungs. I shove him off trying to get to my feet when his fist
connects with my face. I feel my lip split open as he punches me. His fist rained down on top of me.
I hear Imogen scream before his weight is suddenly gone and I see Rnd had tackled him,
ripping him off me. Thaddeus shoves him off getting to his feet trying to advance on me when Rnd
gets in his way. Thaddeus points at me, the rage within him so strong it actually made me shiver.
“What the fuck Thaddeus settle down” Rnd says trying to calm him.
“You take my daughter and I will fucking kill you” Thaddeus growls at me. Rnd looks between
us, his hands on Thaddeus chest holding him back. I wipe the blood dribbling down my chin.
“Get your shit together Thaddeus, or I will” I tell him, turning around and walking back inside.
