“This is hardly a fair fight, Alpha,” It released a diabolical growl, spitting and snorting. “You bring dragons. Wolves. And my bitch chameleon. So perhaps,” it hissed, its tongue flailing the air, “it’s time for my friends to join the party.”
“Cambion!” Dominique ducked as it flew at her from above and clipped her arm with its tail. She withdrew a silver athame and stabbed at it as it flew by until it crashed to the ground. “Jesus, these fucking things are annoying.”
“Get down, Dom!” Xavier yelled as another cambion flew directly at them, and pointed to a rock formation. “Take cover!”
The cambions attacked. Sayuri and her brothers sliced them open one by one. Greyson flashed, catching one midair and tore off its head.
Julian waited patiently, never taking his eyes off of the demon. The cambions stayed at bay. He looked to Cassia. It wants us alive.
I want him dead.
Humans are coming! Patience, patience … here they are.
Several humans materialized around Asmodeus. Their heads whipped toward the Alpha and his mate.
“Shift now!” Julian yelled at Cassia. Attack now, wolves, attack! He commanded his wolves, sending them running toward the humans.
Within seconds, Cassia transformed into a lion. A deranged human woman rushed toward Julian with a cleaver, Julian shifted into his great wolf, and tore out her throat. A large heavyset man ran towards Cassia, wielding a silver hatchet. She ducked as he swung the blade down upon her. In a rage, Julian leapt at him, and tore off his arm.
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Sayuri and her brothers battle the cambions. Their swords sliced through the winged beasts thick scaly skin. One by one, they slayed the cambions, but a dozen more swarmed them.
Asmodeus laughed maniacally as Julian and Cassia systematically destroyed the humans. The demon wielding its tail, attempting to splay open Dominque and Xavier as they attacked the humans.
Julian shifted back to human and flashed to Sayuri. “We must do the spell now before he has a chance to call more cambions.”
“Just one more,” she cried as she sliced off her opponent’s head. “You must get me close to him.”
“Cassia. I need you to shift. Fly!”
A human pointed her gun at the lion. Cassia narrowly escaped a silver bullet as she morphed into an eagle.
“Die, you fuckin’ vermin!” Greyson yelled as he slayed another human.
“Take out the one with the gun,” Julian called back to him as he ran closer to the demon, dodging its razor-sharp tail.
“Ahhh,” Kenji cried, slaying the last cambion. “Let’s go, Otouto.”
Makoto raised his katana up into the air, wearing a celebratory smile. “Shori!”
“Makoto!” Sayuri screamed. “No!”
A human woman ran out from beneath a mound of dirt, and sliced open Makoto’s legs with a silver machete. Makoto stumbled to the ground. With a final blow, she stabbed him in his head, driving it clear through his skull.
Rage tore through Cassia, recognizing the woman from the party. Sophia Preston. She attacked, diving straight toward the woman. The human released a bloodcurdling scream as the eagle’s talons clawed deep into her skull. Cassia pecked at her eyes, tearing at the woman’s face until the human rolled to the ground. Releasing her magick, she transformed into a lion and mauled her throat until she went limp.
As she dropped her prey, pleased with her kill, she searched for Sayuri. Hunched over her brother’s lifeless body, she sobbed uncontrollably.
“Stay with Makoto, ”Julian yelled to Cassia. Though tempted to continue the fight, she obeyed the Alpha.
Kenji ran to his brother. “Makoto!”
“He’s dead,” Sayuri cried.
“Sayuri.” Kenji put a hand on her shoulder. “He is gone. You must grieve later. We need your help.”
She ignored him, refusing to leave Makoto’s side.
“Sayuri. I will take care of him,” her brother promised. “You must do your duty. Slay the demon.”
