“A selfless Queen deserves to wear the crown she earned,”Lily quietly whispered, and her words made me feel more at peace as it felt like my consciousness was slipping away.
“I hope in the next life…I get to meet you face to face, Lily,” I whispered. “Tell Xiao…if you can…that I’m thankful for all she’s given me by being my trusty wolf.”
I was slipping away as the buzzing electricity began to course through my veins.
Thankfully, I was numb, even as it felt like I was screaming on the other side of this oasis Lily had probably pulled me into. It made accepting my end easier, which may have been why the world began to fade away until I was surrounded by darkness.
The shadows had always embraced me throughout my existence, and even in my last moments, here there were, to take me away from the madness this world had put me through again and again.
“Lexianne.”
The grip on my chin should have made me open my eyes, but I didn’t allow myself to do such a thing, for I knew what I’d see if I opened those heavy eyelids.
Pain. Anger. Sadness. Defeat. Undying love.
What I got in return was even better than I expected — a single kiss that allowed me to let go of the final threads of constraint that held me back from ascending to my next purpose.
My consciousness began to fade, and I allowed it as the last bits of pleasure and warmth seeped into me from those delicate lips I’d missed.
We may have not gotten our happy ending, but maybe…just maybe…we’d get a new beginning.
CHAPTER5
Slay The One That Ruined You Part One
~MALIFER~
The screams of my love pushed me to run as fast as my paws allowed while my heart hammered against my chest with the fear of her perishing before I could reach her side.
Never had I felt so filled with anger, so filled with the overpowering desire to shed blood that I knew belonged to my own bloodline. My depressive, naive state had made me think it was impossible for the man to venture into these parts, but then I’d caught a whiff of his scent. It seemed like an eternity since I’d last taken in the musky aroma mixed with smoke and alcohol, but alas.
My apprehension was now causing nothing but pain to my destined mate.
His laughter pierced the air as the screams of my love began to wither away.
She’s losing this battle and if I don’t get there on time, I’ll lose what’s most precious to me.
I knew the moment I met Lexianne once again in the valley that she’d be the ultimate weapon formed against me. She had to be, for she was someone who could make anyone love her like an addiction that wrapped you in its welcoming arms and embraced you no matter your flaws and imperfections.
Only, compared to the many individuals who’d entered or left her life, I was the one who would stick to her like super glue.
Alpha Shade had to have realized that by now.
No. He always knew that.
Which was why he was here, in the valley’s core, attempting to use my woman against me for whatever plan he had in store for me…for us.
And as of now, he was fucking winning.
My wolf howled loudly into the atmosphere as if to warn every damn enemy in our path that we were about destroy them, strip their life force from their bodies. I wanted that disgusting man I was related to to have the opportunity to think wisely of his actions, for this time, I wasn’t planning to run away from his advances for conflict.
I was ready to face him head-on, no matter if it meant I’d win…or lose.
The echoes of my howl continued to extend outward as if to reach far and wide in warning to anyone else who remained in this shadowed oasis. The animals would scurry to the edges of this world, in hopes of avoiding the battle that would surely be abrupt in their sacred grounds, but the silence made me realize something.
My Sweet Lex’s screams had come to a stop…
She will not perish.
