“You snake of a fucker!” Nathan snapped. “That’s why everyone fucking hates you! You use everyone!”
“Isn’t that the point of life? How can a billionaire become rich without using people and stepping on other people’s toes?” he commented as he pulled out a cigar and lit it up with a lighter. Taking a deep inhale, he let the stream of air out and sighed. “You know, if you didn’t spend your time with Lexianne doing silly trials to determine if she’s worthy of entering your little shadow valley, you would realize how cunning she really is. I understand why your father was falling in love with her with every tortured night. She screams beautifully, if you ask me. Makes me wonder what it's like to hear her moan?”
I tried to step forward and interfere, but my body was stuck in its very spot. My panic resonated within Nathan and his eyes narrowed at Travis.
“What did you do?”
“Did you think the wards would not affect your dark elements? I’m not so stupid that I’d be in the same room as someone who was gifted enough dark magic to create a damn valley of death and chaos. I had to ensure I disabled your ability to manipulate the shadows just like I did with Lexianne so she wouldn’t have been able to combat my hired goons. You know, the last two sets of guys you got rid of. But as they say, the third time’s the charm.”
“You can’t just take her!” Lauren snapped. “We had a deal!”
“Which you fulfilled very nicely. Thank you,” Travis replied. “As for taking Lexianne, she’s already been taken. She probably put a good fight in, but after those silly trials she had to be put through, and then you mentioning throwing a javelin through her chest, I can safely assume the girl was absolutely exhausted. You won’t really know this but Experiment 555 has really high pain tolerance and stamina thanks to all the lovely experiments we’d put her through as a child. Alpha Shade only furthered that resilience, but at the end of the day, faking it until you make it can’t really work when you’re absolutely drained.” He looked over my way once more. “If her new Alpha had noticed, maybe she wouldn’t have been pulled into this predicament. You would have caught onto your woman’s disappearance when her familiar suddenly disappeared.”
Shit. Shit. Shit.
Travis looked back at Nathan and shrugged. “It was cute that she drew on your hand though. Guess the doll knew I’d feel the sudden urge to kill you so you don’t try and track me down, but oh well. I’m sure we’ll be seeing each other again sooner or later. That is, if you survive what I have planned. Now that I’m done with you, I’ll have to move on to getting a certain innocent Monarch from your Alpha friend.”
He spun around and then slightly glanced over his shoulder.
“In one minute, kill the girl over there. Disable the Time Keeper with those stun bullets. Don’t bother with the man. He won’t be able to move now that the ward spell caught his host. Five minutes after that, the bomb will detonate. Make sure you’re out of here by then.”
“Yes, sir!” they all responded before one asked, “What about the spy cameras from the Alpha man from earlier.”
Alpha man… fuck. Father was here.
“I got rid of those before my arrival. He won’t notice until he’s back in his hiding place. The news of Nathan’s death will reach him though. That’s the least I could do now that I’ve gotten what I wanted. If he tries to wage war on me, just remind him I have every bit of evidence that proves he killed both his ‘sons.’ That will keep him quiet while he fights off that rotting disease. Oh. That reminds me. Make sure the Time Keeper is taken back to her pack grounds. Her papa is rather worried about her absence. Tell him she was supposed to meet with Nathan but bumped into me and I accidentally spilled my wine on her dress so she got mad, slapped me, and went back home. I’m sure he’ll reach out to give me thanks with the news of the explosion.”
“Yes, sir!”
“You’re disgusting,” Lauren snarled.
“From a Tainted Time Keeper with no morals. Do you think you’re an ally when you’ve agreed to things for your own benefit? You’re lucky I’m sparing you and not the woman you’re impersonating.”
He began to walk away, but Nathan suddenly spoke. “Why do you need Lexianne,” he demanded, his voice barely audible as he clearly couldn’t move, just like me.
Travis came to a stop and chuckled. “Why should I tell you? Because you’re about to die?”
Nathan didn’t say anything, which encouraged more laughter from Travis. That sound would clearly haunt my nightmares thanks to how many times we’d fucking heard it.
“It’s simple,” he replied as he took an inhale of his cigar and let the stream of smoke out. “I want to get back to my Coven. I got a general location and everything, so I only need one more thing to ensure I’m accepted with open arms.”
He turned around and allowed us to see the overflowing bliss that flooded his face like he’d won the lottery.
“An heir. With Lexianne, I’ll finally have a powerful Alpha woman by my side that is just as smart as me. With her as my future wife, all I’ll need is one night and she’ll be pregnant with my child. That heir will be a perfect threat to all humanity. A triple hybrid withe the qualities of a pureblood and the immortality of a demon thanks to her inherited trait of respawning from Lexianne. That child will be the true definition of power, and then Lexianne can be my Luna pet. Brilliant, isn’t it?”
Even his own men were shocked by his plan, and he giggled and spun away from us.
“I’m such a brilliant mastermind,” he declared with pride as he praised himself. “It’s time for me to bid you farewell. Send Mother Moon my greetings and tell her that I’ll do everything in my power to correct the world’s order by giving birth to a child who will be the ruler of the new world.”
With those booming words, he walked away, leaving a trail of cigar smoke.
His laughter triggered the doom clock that began its countdown to our demise.
