“Well, there is a face I had hoped I would never see again.” Taylor snorted folding her arms over her chest. I glared at her. How did she get involved in all of this? I never quite figured her part out. Did she just hate me so much? As if she was reading my mind, her lips curled up in a smug grin. “I had hoped my cousin would have been able to deal with you. Oh well… I guess now I get to witness your demise.”

Breanna Snyde was part wolf and part witch. It never occurred to me that she was related to Taylor on her wolf side. Well… why would it? I never heard them talk about outside relatives. As far as I knew, all her family was in the Sulfur pack.

“Well, we aren’t really preparing for her demise, Taylor. Only her friends will die. I know of someone else who would want the little sheya.” Call Me Bree gave me her sickening sweet smile.

“Someone else is approaching.” Hazel growled as her eyes glowed, looking behind us. I heard the sound of feet pounding against the ground and turned my head slightly.

It was Conner and Logan. I looked at them, confused, as their eyes met with mine.

“We are here to protect our Luna,” Conner said just as a guttural roar shattered the quiet in the field. I knew the sound of my mate. He didn’t sound like he was in distress but was waging war. My eyes moved to the distance. I wish I could see him. I had hoped that Conner and Logan would be near in case he needed help. Knowing Sion, he sent them back to me. Maybe he needed this in order to concentrate on his fight. I turned my gaze back in front of me. The women still didn’t look nervous. This had me a bit on edge. They were definitely up to something.

“It’s a shame you had to show up at the Chance pack. You ruined Sion. We would have been great together. He would have been a great Alpha.” Call Me Bree said, and I scoffed loudly.

“He is a great Alpha. And you could never have been great with him—” I listened as she clicked her tongue and shook her head.

“Such a waste of life. Darcia will make quick work of him.”

“I wouldn’t count on that. He isn’t the same Sion that you know. He is much stronger.” A smug smile reached her lips as she tilted her head to look at me.

“Whatever power you may have given him won’t be enough.”

“I wasn’t talking about anything I had given him…” I shrugged. “It doesn’t matter to you anyways. I didn’t come here to chat. For what you did to Kai… to the Chance pack… to the Sulfur pack… for Denny and Jude, I am going to kill you.” My voice was cold as I focused on what needed to be done. It was time for me to play judge, jury, and executioner. I took a step forward, as power began to surge through me. I was going to make them all pay.

Suddenly, the world began to shift and my body was shifting with it. I was standing in the air and now looking down at my panicked friends.

“Clover! Where did they go?!” Demetri shouted as I watched his feet dance around sporadically.

I listened as Call Me Bree chuckled as she hovered in the distance. “And now you can watch the fun. Safely in an area where you can’t use your powers.” So, this was her plan.

“Clover!” Odell shouted.

“Will you shut up already? Da.mn.” Hazel growled.

“Why don’t you give Clover a show? Give her a going away present she will never forget.” Taylor’s ugly grin had me curling my hands into a fist.

“She can see us?” Conner asked.

“She can see and hear you. My cousin has the power of astral plane manipulation. Right now… Clover is in a place where she can’t help you. All she can do is watch.” Taylor turned her head to Hazel and nodded. I watched as she transformed into a dark blue monstrous creature. It was a nightmare.

Her eyes were filled with blood, and several wicked horns crowned her head. Her mouth opened wide to reveal rows of razor-sharp triangular teeth that glinted in the dim light. With a thunderous roar, she flung her head back, sending a fierce gust of air across my friends. I watched as my friends shifted quickly into their beasts. I frantically dropped to the ground and crawled, feeling for any cracks or crevices on the invisible solid floor beneath me. My hands waved violently over the invisible solid, searching for a weakness. I needed to get down there and help them.

I watched in horror as Hazel charged towards them, her long claws outstretched towards my friends.

Clover

My friends scattered, barely avoiding the demon’s claws as they slashed with fury. Odell leapt into the air, spinning, and somersaulting before she landed gracefully on the beast’s back. Without warning, she chomped down hard on its neck, and I felt a surge of pride for her courage. Demetri roared with ferocity as he lunged forward with his sword, while Conner and Logan swiped their powerful claws at the demonic creature. The air filled with the sound of ripping flesh and angry screams. The battle had begun, and it was unrelenting.

It bellowed loudly in the air as it fought to get Odell off its back. Hazel made contact with her claws and tossed Odell across the field. Her body skidded off of the ground, but instantly she was back on her feet, charging back towards the beast.

The demon reached its claws out to scatter my friends, but I could see what it was doing from my aerial view.

“Look out!” I cried as I watched the demon’s spiked tail flail around, piercing into Logan. His loud yelps filled the air as his blood spilled onto the ground. With a violent whip-like action, the demon sent his body flying through the air. He landed with a loud thud, and I watched as his body shook as he laid there.

“One down.” Call Me Bree said with smug satisfaction.

I scoffed and snapped my face in her direction. “It will take more than that to end him!” I growled, but watched her lips curl upwards with a cruel smile.

“If it was an ordinary wound, he would be fine. Hazel is a miasma demon. Her spiked tail is something like what a scorpion’s would be.” My eyes widened as she shrugged and sighed. She gave me a fake look of pity. “I’m afraid Logan isn’t going to make it. So sad…” She then threw her head back with laughter. The sound of her cackling voice was ringing off of the walls like nails on a chalkboard. “This is so much fun.”

“Logan!” I heard Demetri’s panicked voice, and I looked below me. Demetri was at Logan’s side, and I could see the defeated look in his eyes. No… please, I can’t lose anyone else. I began digging my fingers into the barrier below me. It was like I was scratching an impenetrable barrier.

Frantically, I clawed at the ground, getting nowhere. My fingers began to bleed from the intensity of my digging.

“Dam.nit!” I heard Demetri bellow as he clenched his fists tight, the veins in his hands bulging under his skin. His jaw locked shut and he shook his head fiercely, a wild fury sparking in his eyes. “Don’t let the tail hit you!” He yelled out as he left Logan’s side. I heard my pulse pounding in my ears as I stared at Logan’s wolf. His wolf was shaking and twitching. His breathing looked to be strained and irregular. At this rate…

Water began to pour from my eyes. I felt my heart break into a million pieces as I stared down at him helplessly. He began to gasp for air, making a gurgling noise, the sound of blood filling up his lungs. His paws began to shake and thrash about.

“Logan!” I cried out, and I heard my voice c***k. “Please… you can’t… you can’t leave us.” I begged the wolf below me.

“Watch out!” I heard Demetri’s enraged shout rip through the air. My gaze shot from Logan to the fight, my heart beating so painfully it felt like it would burst from my chest. The demon’s tail thrashed wildly as it pummeled Odell across the room. With inhuman speed, Demetri managed to grab her before she could crash into the ground, holding her tightly in his arms as he raced away and gently deposited her near Logan. “Dam.nit…” His face twisted with agony as he was forced to turn away from her. He sprinted back to Conner, but all hope had already been extinguished in his eyes.

My rage reached its boiling point as I watched them. It felt like a white-hot fire had engulfed me and I could no longer contain my fury. With a guttural roar, I charged towards Call Me Bree, but like a brick wall a mysterious force barred my way. The power that contained me only fueled my hatred further, and I was driven wild with anger.

“Do you really think it will be that simple?” She sneered, her lips curling in a malicious grin as she stared at me, gloating. Her eyes sparkled with venomous disdain, and her voice dripped with a mocking undertone.

I was unable to move through the realms like Sion. This wouldn’t be a problem for him, but I could only do it with him. This was another plane. It was like another viewpoint of the world that existed alongside it. I pressed my fingers into the invisible barrier. It felt different than the one separating me from my friends. Of course, it must be different. After all, she can see me, and we can communicate.

I pressed my fingers on the invisible barrier, this time searching for the energy that created it. There had to be a connection somewhere. I was going to find it and I was going to kill this bit.ch.
