Chapter 154


    70. His Arrival


    SKYLA.


    I sh through another serpent, the sword itself holds power… I can feel it pulsating up my arm.


    “Ri?!” Mama’s voicees.


    “She’s here.” Mama Red’s voicees, she sounds in pain…


    “Where are you?” Granddad El growls.


    “We’re trapped. Sephora caved the walls on the left, near the kitchens. She put something in the air to


    weaken us, but we’re both fine. I’m healing, and she and Raihana are fighting…” Mama Red trails off.


    There’s more to it, but she’s not saying it. 5


    I’m fending them off, moving with more speed and agility than ever, unable to reply anymore.


    My aura is keeping them away, and although theye close, they are unable to attack me directly.


    It doesn’t deter them, as they continue hammering against the roof, clearly knowing I can lose my


    bnce.


    With every passing moment, that darkness is growing.


    I jump up andnd lithely, shing into one of the snakes. 2


    The smell of blood is strong in the air, mixed with the smell of dirt, ash, and smoke.


    I’ll know what to do…


    I stare at the shadows. He won’t be herepletely…


    “I’ming!” Rayhan’s voicees, “Kitten, take care of yourself.”


    “Kitten is my word,” Grandad El says breathlessly before he grunts, clearly in battle, making Mama Red


    chuckle. 8


    “I’m afraid I don’t agree,” Rayhan replies, making me smirk. “Be careful.”


    “I’ll be fine, go Rayhan.” Delsanra answers. Her voice is weak, and I don’t think she’ll hold for long.


    “We have no one to help!” Mama’s voicees, “I’m trying from the inside!”


    I nce down, seeing her purple aura swirl around the


    “Don’t worry, I’ll take care of her Ray,” Dante says, a hint of amusement in his voice. 15


    ‘Amusing.” He responds, clearly not amused. Dante simply chuckles.


    “I’ming with you, Rayhan,” Grandad says from wherever he is.


    “I’ll join Sk.” Uncle Liam’s voicees, and I look down to see him on the far side, battling two


    serpents.


    He ys one as Dante takes over, handling the other.


    “Me three!” Azura says, from near Leo, who is now carrying some fucking huge-ass rifle, along with his


    Five. 8


    Damn…


    You can tell from the way they’re using those things they are not new to it…


    But for someone who has grown up around people who use spears or hand-to-hand weapons, where


    guns and archery were secondary, it’s different to see


    It shows how all packs are different… Just how


    Royce is a pro with a sword…


    Well, Royce is a pro with both kinds of swords. I chuckle at my own innuendo. 11


    “Watch your nk,” Royce reminds me, almost as if he knows I’m getting sidetracked, and I push the


    image of his cock from my head.


    I snicker to myself, telling Kat to ry that I will take care of myself when suddenly the ground shakes


    violently.


    I almost fall as the dark smoke begins to rise, and the skies darken.


    Azura’s wolf leaps into sight. I turn as I m my sword into another serpent, but for everyone one that


    we kill, three more take its ce.


    The air itself is bing heavier.


    ‘Be careful,’ Dante warns me through the link,” I can’t face him for you… but I won’t let anything happen


    to you. We’re here.’


    ‘I know… thanks…’ I say as I jump into the middle of the smoke, feeling it try to repel me, but I stand


    my ground, lettino my aura ou


    ‘You….’ An unearthly voice hisses, making me feel ill.


    There’s something about him…


    I stand tall in the centre of the dome as Liam and Azura fend off the serpents,


    I am his downfall…


    ‘Careful Lioness…’ Dante says as I spin the sword, ring at the rising smoke before me.


    How is his presence growing here…?


    I raise my sword. I’ve never used anything but a spear in Lycan form, but it’s not hard. Ites


    naturally.


    ‘No one can ever stop me.’ his menacing voice fills the air around me.


    Let’s see about that.


    I nce around, seeing the entire ce is a fucking snake pit.


    “They are never-ending… ‘I trail off, ncing up sharply at the sky. The entire thing seems to be


    wavering…


    What the…


    N?velDrama.Org (C) content.


    My heart thunders when I realise what’s happening.


    There’s too much power being used in one ce and with the added serpents and everyone pushing


    their limits…


    We’re affecting the barrier between the worlds…


    We are helping Apophis prate the barrier…


    ‘Guys, pull back your powers! Now!’ I scream as I see the dark smoke spiral towards the sky and


    several serpents follow.


    They’re aiming for the veil.


    Everything seems to be in slow motion.


    I hear themands of the others, hear peoplemanded to fall back, but my attention is focused


    on the rising smoke.


    Not on my fucking watch.


    “Only Sky!” someone shouts, just as the entire dome of the building shatters beneath me, the faint


    manic of Aleric’sughter fills the air


    “He’s here!” He hisses.


    My eyes ze as I jump up as crystal shards fly everywhere. Jumping higher than I ever have before,


    spinning in the air as I raise my sword. Right now I hold something from three different gods..


    Blessed by Selene as the first ever female Lycan and the only one born whilst another is alive…


    favoured by Bastet… and the sword given to the Sris people by Helios…


    There is no way the death-noodle dipshit of a god can win this one.


    Raising my hand that holds the sword, I let my aura out as I begin to ascend straight into the heaviest


    of the smoke.


    I see a ball of me, a sh of blond knowing it’s Aleric as he jumps into the midst of the smoke and


    suddenly the smoke begins to spin around us and before my very eyes…


    I catch sight of Aleric shifting, but he’s not transforming into a wolf… but a cobra-like snake, one that is


    a whole fucking lot bigger…


    The smoke is being pulled into him.


    “Apophis is taking control.” Royce’s breathless voicees.


    ‘Tell him to stay back, he and Dad can’te here!’ I shout through the mind link.’


    “Like fuck I’m leaving you to face a fucking god!” Dad snarls.


    ‘Wise move… Lioness… but the only problem is … I have a third target… and that target is right before


    me…’ 3


    I swallow hard as his snake-like eyes hone in on Well, shit just got fucking real.


    As they say out of the frying pan and into the fire


    Well, I think it’s time to make instant Death Noodles. Who’s hungry? 8


    I don’t know if he can hear me, but I try anyway.


    “Tell me, shall I skin your sorry snake ass first, or humiliate you first?’ I ask, 3


    Oh, he hears me alright, because the next thing that fills the sky is an ear-splitting hiss blistering rage.


    dapure Oops, I just pissed off a god, and I really don’t give ten fucks.
