I struggled at the chains, but I was too weak. They were made of something I couldn’t interpret but the feeling was strangely familiar.
“Hello, Lana. It’s funny that out of all the people Ace ran for,” The vampire Yulanda sat in a chair, the only piece of furniture in the stone room, “It was you, and not just that, he broke through Olivia’s spell. There was something strong between you two. Which will make this all the more fun for me,”
Ace walked through, chains on his feet clanking as he shuffled over to me, holding an axe. His eyes were on the floor but his body showed the shame and hatred that mixed inside of him.
“What in the hell are you planning, bitch?” I questioned her motives,
“What do you think? Two lovers distraught, as one murders the other. That’ll be a memory to over-power all of his memories don’t you think?” she laughed,
“Hold up, Lovers? Ha-ha, don’t be so dull, he means nothing to me. You two are the lovers, I wouldn’t mind switching positions with you because you’re clearly confused.” I eyed the old lumberjack axe. “And you think that could kill me, I don’t think you know what I’ve become?”
“After putting on those chains, you’re back to the nothing you were before you changed. Olivia’s smart you know, but she doesn’t realise that I’ve taken the chains made from a replica of the bracelet that held your abilities once before. You were supposed to be killed by your daddy dearest, but I began to love this man. Stronger than you two ever would have! So I’m seeing personally to your death.” Jealous flushed her,
“Oh, honey,” I said, putting on my calm face as Ace’s shuffle stopped in front of me and began to lift his axe. “Jealousy doesn’t look good on you,” I lasted myself one more smile, before I felt the axe come down swiftly.
I opened my eyes, realising I had closed them. The axe hovered centimetres from my hairline, giving me goose bumps. Yulanda lifted from her chair, surprised and angry her plan hadn’t worked. I began to laugh.
“Ace! What are you doing? Kill her!” She ordered frustratingly, making me hold back my snicker.
The axe began to lift, I felt it.
“N…o.” he mumbled, as the axe began to lift faster. “I. Will. Never.”
“Wha, wha, what are you doing? Ace, stop it!” Yulanda began to back away as he stalked towards her, axe raised, and each step and word looking more painful than the last.
I used the distraction to tug at the final knot in my ‘cuffs’. I was never useless before I became a wolf, and god knows what else, you dumb bitch. It snapped free, and I rose myself back up, feeling power drain slowly back into my body. I heard the screams of Yulanda in the dark corner, but that didn’t stop me. But what Ace’d done and said did. He was under some powerful trance… but, he broke through it. He wouldn’t kill me, even if he had no choice. Even if he would die. Jackal’s words from before flashed into my mind.
“I’m not meant for you, I’m sorry. I have to leave. I’m sorry I failed my promise, I can’t love you better than him.” Jackal’s sorry words had pierced through me.
Ki had said that it wasn’t Jackal’s name I’d cried when I awoke. Surely, they didn’t mean…
My grief for Mongo slided to the back of my head as I realised the pain he’d gone through for me. he’d watched as I got angry over him and Yulanda, and there was nothing he could do about it. I wanted to sprint out the wooden door, but I couldn’t move. He appeared through the shadows, a hint of blood staining his once glorified t-shirt. A bunch of emotion crossing his face.
“I remember,” He whispered, coming closer to me, “Lana, you’re Lana,” He paused, pain crossing his face. “I’m sorry, I hurt you, please forgive me.” He got to his knees. An Alpha, got to his knees begging for forgiveness.
“it… it’s not your fault, get back up,” I pulled him back up, he needed to gain his old confidence back if I was going to forgive him. And if we were going to escape, because no doubt there was somebody waiting on the other side of the door. I smiled weakly in an attempt to comfort him, “Don’t get so knocked down by everybody. We need to get out, and you can’t be falling at your knees if we’re going to do this. Together,” I turned to the door, “You kicked down a door for me once, let’s get even,” I swung my foot a little bit backwards, and thrust it through, splinting the wood and smashing the door to pieces as if it were nothing. It was nothing compared to Mayson’s iron door.
I knew Ace was following me, I felt his heaved breath behind me, but this time I liked the feeling. It was nice, not feeling so alone – for the first time in at least a week.
“I missed our little adventures,” I heard him groan through his pain,
“There’s the man I knew,” I said accomplishing the task of rebuilding him back up.
“I don’t mean to doubt you at all, but you know what you’re up against right?”
“Yulanda mentioned ‘daddy dearest’. I’m guessing my father wants a piece of this, whoever he is.”
“Not who-ever. What-ever. They called him Demon King Ferralah.”
“Cute,” I said, to his surprise, “I used to call my father a demon long before I knew that shit was possible. Out of all people, I’m not surprised the dick-head got a title for himself.”
“The guy radiates power, Lana, he’s not as easy as the King of Vampires for you. Demons are severely powerful, and that’s just talking about the average demon.”
“I don’t care, Ace, I either kill him or I die, either way I accomplished something. 1 – I avenge my mother, 2 – I get to join Mongo up in, well let’s be honest we’re not going to heaven.”
“I won’t let you die,”
“You made that pretty clear before,” I paused, “Thank you, by the way. You saved my life. Again.”
“You’ve saved mine in more ways than I think you’ll ever know.”
Ace’s serious statement shocked me, but not as much as what I saw around the corner. Another stone room with barely any light in it. But it wasn’t the room that took my surprise, but the bitch Olivia and a man next to her.
“Hey! Shadow-looking bastard! Get your ass over here so I can kick it all ready,” I yelled, stancing myself up and earning a dirty look form both of them, “Sorry, I guess I should call it your Highness’s hiney, “And your welcome for some ass-kicking as well Olivia, if your feelin’ kinky-“
“Enough!” The man’s voice boomed, showing the power that, as Ace had said, literally vibed form the guy.
“Your tough talk is nothing, Lana, you’re in the presence of the Demon King Ferralah, your fear will overcome you, -“
“What fear? Hah, just hurry up and let’s get this bull shit over with, I’m sick of looking at your ugly mugs.” I laughed, but there was poison in it. I heard Ace shift into his wolf form behind me, ready to fight. I knew I should probably do the same, but I was going to see my father’s blood on my hands no matter what lengths I had to push to see it. “Mum’ll be proud,” I whispered to myself.
“She was a low-life nothing, those who are fallen from the heavens should be killed on sight, not let roam around and have children. She deserved what I did.” He grumbled, stalking towards me,
“She was everything! If you’re suggesting she was an angel I’m not surprised, but she deserved nothing from you, and I will make sure her death is not in vain!” I yelled as I leaped at him, our bodies sprawling onto the ground in a brawl.
“You are a stupid child,” He began to laugh, as I left him on the ground with his face mashed up from my punches. He lifted himself back up for a round 2, but instead of baring his fists, he turned into a midnight-coloured shadow of a man. It was like a thick-coat of darkness, but a small gleam made me realise it was more like a shield. Two can play that game.
“Must run in the family,” I shot back, bringing forth the black veins and the power they brought with them. They pulsed and I saw my hands in front of me pulse the darkness through me. Bring it on. I didn’t have time to think about how I really had just done that, considering it’d only happened normally after I got angry – or lost control.
“Enough, Ferralah this isn’t the time!” Olivia’s voice broke off the anger between myself and… it. I took a quick glance at her, but kept my focus on the shadow before me. In this musty dark room, he would normally be hard to see, but my past had taught me against fear of many things, the dark had practically become my friend – and I found it easy to see things in it. Olivia was standing, cornered by a snarling wolf. Ace. But she had a hand up at the wolf, he was frozen in motion, but I felt that didn’t matter at all – because the moment he got free there was no doubt revenge would make him see red. Her other hand glowing a strange green as she held it close to her chest, concentrating. Enough. Finish this. Now. My wolf growled at me. I realised I didn’t care about whatever kind of magic shit she was pulling, or demons possibly being real – I’d wanted revenge on the jerk that was my father for so long, he’d tricked my mother, making her think he was a good person and then once they were married, he showed his true colours. Beating, drinking, cursing, the guy was one of the worst human beings I’d known – and now I knew that he wasn’t even human, it would only make my revenge easier. He was a literal demon. Pure evil. And he was going down.

Get. Up. My thoughts broke me from what felt like a coma. I had heard what had happened while I was in it, but it was now I could break from it. I opened my eyes quickly,
