    Prescott


    ‘Riya is not dead. | can feel her presence,’ Owen told me and | sighed in relief after shifting into my human form back.


    Satan didn’t stop, he moved around like a shadow and stood closer to where Owen had fallen. “You should have been dead by


    now,” he muttered with a hatred-filled voice and grabbed Owen’s neck.


    Owen''s wolf howled in pain, pouncing his paw at Satan’s face and sessfully wounding his face. Satan hissed and let him go.


    | immediately mind-linked Caleb to bring my sword. He had reported to me about what happened at the cell and | was relieved


    after knowing that both of his mates rejected Dn and he was forced to ept it because of the High-Witches’ spell. L had


    proved her loyalty towards us.


    “Your powers won’tst here long because your sacrifice wasn’t epted,” Owen said calmly after shifting back to his human


    form as well.


    “Don''t fool me, Chain. | sacrificed your High Witch who was a pure soul to break your f ucking protection,” Satan barked,


    ck smoke waving around him as his dark aura rolled off him in waves.


    ‘Put that sword right through his heart. It won’t kill him as he is Go d but he would surely weaken more as it’s given by the Moon


    Goddess and is blessed with holy powers, Owen’s words were clear and sharp with a hint of urgency as we didn’t have much


    time to do that.


    ‘Don’t hurt yourself more. He was already weak and | didn’t want him to die yet.


    ‘So caring and sweet Alpha. Are you worried about me?’ Owen’s yful voice annoyed me and | couldn''t help but frown at his st


    upid remark.


    ‘| just don’t want Avery to take over yet. She needs to be eighteen at least,’ | replied and cut the link before he could mock me


    more.


    Caleb arrived at the right time and I took the sword from his hand as Owen and Satan continued arguing with each other about


    Riya’s being alive or dead. | sna tched that opportunity and dashed toward them without making any noise.


    “Your powers won’tst long, Go d of Darkness,” Owen smirked as he nodded at me and | jumped in the front. Without giving him


    a second to grasp what was


    He groaned in pain, pointing a finger at me. “You f ucking wolf... | will kill you,” he cussed, clutching his chest in his hand as his


    legs wobbled and he fell to the ground with a loud thump.


    His voice gave me chills down my spine, still, echoing in my mind. My eyes lingered on his chest where my sword was drawing


    his blood out. The ck blood gushed out of the wound and his hands burned when he touched the sword with his hand to pull it


    out of his chest.


    Owen had given me that sword on the night of the Red Moon after | got my wolf back and he had specifically told me to use it


    only when needed. It was his sword and he deemed me to be the fitting person to own it though in my opinion, Matilda was


    deserving than me to own it. | argued with him on that but he simply said that she didn’t need it.

    “Dn,” Satan screamed


    in pain, calling out for his  ve.


    “He won''t be able to touch it either,” Owen crossed his arms, looking down at Satan with an impassive demeanor. “Everything


    that is touched by you, Darkness, can’t touch this sword.”


    ‘Alpha, Dn is going insane in the prison. He is screaming to let him go so | have to leave now,’ Caleb informed me before


    returning to his duty at the dungeon where that f ucker was imprisoned.


    ‘It''s because of Satan. His master is calling him so he wants to go to him,’ | articted.


    ‘Is everything alright at the borders?’ Came T’s concerned voice.


    ‘Not really. We have lost many warriors but | just speared the Satan with my sword.


    “Dn Kane, be right here. | havee to feed you,” Satan roared again, his malicious voice resonating throughout the


    surroundings.


    “| wonder who wille to help you because your  ve is imprisoned and we have no intention of setting him free,” Owen


    shrugged.


    Satan bellowed, “If you have my  e, | have your High Witch. Set him free and | will set Riya free.” He had the audacity to


    bargain even when we had the upper hand in the current situation.


    There was no way we were going to agree to his terms. | was going to open my mouth when Owen beat me to it and uttered,


    “Fine. But you will have to return Riya to us, first.”


    “No f cking way. I’m not letting that ba sta rd out of the cell,” | protested, my Alpha aura oozing off me.


    “Trust me, Prescott. It is for the best and we want Riya to be safe and alive more than we want Dn dead,’ Owen assured me


    to which | reluctantly nodded my agreement.


    | didn’t trust that f ucking God but I had faith in Owen. Whatever decision he took, it must be better for everyone. Even | didn’t


    want Riya to die while saving both of our species. She had been kind enough to go alone and take all the responsibility to steal


    Dn’s soul on herself so for her sake, | had to let that ba sta rd go.


    “Why did you lie to us that she was dead?” | asked Satan who had his eyes closed, | presumed due to the pain.


    “| didn’t know that she was powerful enough to survive the fire. | had sacrificed her alive in the fire but didn’t checkter if she


    was dead or alive. She must have lost her powers because | surely obtained powers to break in from that very sacrifice,” Satan


    murmured, more to himself than us as if he was contemting what and why happened.


    “| will bring her with me but if you don’t uphold your end of the bargain, | will kill Riya in front of you and you know,” he looked at


    Owen before continuing, “I’m capable of doing it.”


    “As long as we get Riya unharmed, you will get your sl ave,” Owen said with a finality in his voice.


    If Riya was alive, why hadn’t she returned to us yet? And why was Owen blindly trusting Satan to keep his word? There were so


    many questions running in my mind but | couldn’t find answers to them.


    Satan''s aura was dwindling as the bleeding from his chest persisted relentlessly. Within a blink of an eye, he vanished into thin


    air, leaving the ck smoke behind


    him.


    “We could go and find Riya. There was no need of agreeing to his f ucking term,” | spat as soon as he was gone.Content rights by N?velDr//ama.Org.


    Owen scowled and sighed while shaking his head in disappointment. “Riya must be stuck in the veil. That''s why she hasn''t


    returned yet and if she couldn’t return


    from veil, no one else can either. So whoever would have gone in search of her would have ended up there just like her and |


    don’t want Satan to have more people to use as a bargain with us.”


    “For now, just be d that she is alive,” he patted my shoulder when | didn’t respond.


    “We have lost so many warriors. All of them are dead, not even injured or hurt so we could have a hope of saving them.” My


    heart ached for their families.


    “That’s the cost of war one must pay,” Owen replied in a gloomy voice.
