Chapter 40 The war has began

"Father. Why am I not surprised?" Cristian said coldly.

"Now that's not a way to greet your father, son." He smiles and puts his hands behind his back as he walks closer to us. "Too bad today is the day I'm going kill you." He stops in front of Cristian.

What kind of man hates his son so bad to bring war against him?

"Why are doing this?"

His attention is now on me. "Everyone was eager to take the thrown from me. The next heir should have been Daniel but he didn't want any part of it so guess who was up next." He looks at Cristian, "I trained him to be the king I wanted him to be but he only disappointed me." He starts walking over to me but Andrew growled at him warningly. Alejandro stops and smile as he looks between Andrew and me. He continued to say, "Really son? You made a succubus live?" He shakes his head disappointed. "Anyway I decided to take things in my own hands and lucky me, some of my men are still loyal. To only me."

I look over at the demons and I don't see any of his soldiers. Oh no.

There was a loud thud behind me. We all turn around to one of the watch guards dead, neck broken. I turn around frighten and scared. What are we going to do now? We're out numbered.

"You're doing this all for power?!"

"Not only that. Revenge. Plus your little friend here," He looks at me. "She has to die." He smiles at me like he was remembering something. "You know Elle I have learnt a lot about you."

"You don't know anything about me."

"Oh but I do. A lot. Your childhood, your parents, your first shift, all of that."

He's lying. But what if he's not? How would he even know all of that?

"You're probably wondering how. I have a trusted source. Come on out Simon."

What?!

I look in disbelief as he walks from out the woods. My heart sinks as I see him stand next Alejandro.

"Simon?" I ask heart broken.

Simon looks at all of us with guilt and shame all over his face.

I can't wrap my mind around this. Simon. The one I trusted most with everything. I told him everything and he was just a messenger to Alejandro?!

I look away from him and look at Cristian. He looks betrayed, angry and ready to rip Simon's head off.

"What the fuck?! What, is mom in this too?!" Cristian shouts as he walks up to Alejandro.

Alejandro didn't look the slightest fazed. "No actually. She was against it so I took her back home. Locked up in a cell. Where she belongs."

Cristian punches Alejandro in the face. Alejandro takes a step back and holds his jaw smiling. Cristian grabs him by his suit jacket and screams, "You fucking bastard!"

The demons started moving forward and I got ready to fight but Alejandro stops them. With one push to the chest Cristian is pushed 10 feet away with a great force.

I look back at him worried but he was already getting back up.

"You think you're stronger than me? Any of you?!" He shouts as he looks at all our people. "You think it was that easy to get away from my demons? I let you get away!" He looks at me with fury. "You were the one that activated that trap. It's for your kind only. Your mother was last one in there" I grit my teeth as he mentions my mother. Remembering what mom said. How they tortured her.

"I like to see all of you think you can beat me. You can't beat me! And I will take my rightful thrown. I am the true king!"

I am getting sick of this man. "I'd like to see you try."

Elizabeth. Eva.

I call both Elizabeth and Eva forward. I feel them both surface in one. I've never done this before but I've never felt more powerful.

I watch as my wings grow out. As my once black wings are now covered with the same white as my wolf's fur. I see blue swirls on them in the lining of my family symbol. I look at it in amazement but remember that I'm in the middle of a war.

Without wasting another second I fly  up and withdraw my sword. I look down at Alejandro finally realizing why he was so familiar. "You killed my parents, you killed my family and you will pay."

He did this.

I remember! Elizabeth said in anger.

I grip on to my sword and charge at him. Everyone took that has their cue and the war began. The werewolves and whatever vampires we even have left on our side against the demons and Alejandro's soldiers.

Shots are fired and swords collide. Everyone screaming as blood starts to shed.

Before I could even reach him he puts his hand out towards me and a force keeps holding me back. I look at him in confusion and shock.

How is he doing this?

I use my wings and push through as much as I can. I finally broke through and swiped my sword on his arm. He holds on to his slice on his arm and takes a sword out in a swift motion.

I strike him again but he blocks me and does the same with his hand but instead I am thrown 10 feet way. I hit a tree with a great impact.

I groan as I try to get back up. When I look in Alejandro's direction I see Andrew is fighting him but then he knees him in the rib and throw him at a near by rock.

My eyes widen. "Andrew!"

"Elle I'm fine." Andrew reassured me.

I sigh in relief and get up off the ground and take up my sword then suddenly I feel arms wrapped around my neck. I throw my head back, hitting them in the face. As their arms loosen from around my neck, with out hesitation turn around and slice his head off clean.

More starts coming at me and I use my wings in a spiral motion. As all of those demons went down I lift off the ground.

As I look I see even more demons coming. Hundreds of them. We're all going to die.

I look to find Alejandro but I couldn't see him anywhere.

Bang.

It was a gun shot. Shot at me. I look to see multiply guns pointed at me and my people. I immediately charge at them. Swerving any bullet that comes my way.

Everything went by fast. Now I'm covered in blood and surrounded my bodies. Demons and few of my people.

I look around to see Jeremiah, Lucas and some other vampires and werewolves. I look around confused.

"Where is everyone?"

There were more demons coming. Where did they all go? What happened to Alejandro and Cristian? And where is Andrew?! What happened to the pack?

"I don't... Elle, look out!" Jeremiah shouted!

I turn around but it was too late. Bruce held me to a tree and held me by the throat, choking me. I tried to use my wings to pry him off me but their too weak because of all the slashes and bullets.

Elizabeth is getting weaker.

All of a sudden his head is ripped off and his body falls limp. I look in shock as Simon stands in front of me.

"Simon?" I ask try to catch my breath.

"I'm so sorry but Elle you have to run. Now!" I look at him in fury and confusion.

All of a sudden I hear wolf howls. A lot of them. All of us look at each other confused in what's going on.

It's the pack and.... another. The Lunar pack?

I spot Anna's wolf immediately, leading along with Aiden and Andrew. Uh thank god their all alive.

They all stop in front of us. I look in realization. They came to help.

"Thank you." I said to Aiden and his pack.

I decided to retract my wings and shift into my wolf form.

"It's just us Eva." I said referring to that I can't feel Elizabeth anymore.

"I'm here for it. Please don't get us killed." She begged.

"I'll try."

"That's not what I wanted hear Elle Cora Cooper."

Too bad.

"The demons. Their heading to the south. Their going for the castle. That's where Cristian and Alejandro are." Simon informed.

I look at him on last time then turn away running to the castle. Everyone followed behind. I look beside me to see Daniel and Jeremiah and some other vampires running in full speed along side us.

We're finally close to the castle and a  bunch of demons are guarding it off. We didn't stop, just started attacking.

My fur is now covered in blood, both demons and some of mine. Got hit a couple times but I'm still standing.

Once I finally got the demons out of my way I quickly ran further to see Cristian and Alejandro fighting.

Cristian is all bloody and weak. He looks like he's about to give out any second. Alejandro punches him that sends him to the ground. Without thinking I attempt to attack Alejandro but with the use of his hand he pushes my back.

I land on something sharp and whimper in pain.

"Elle where are you? What's wrong?" Andrew asks through our mind link.

"Andrew I-"

"Elle?!" Cristian shouts as he tries to get up.

Alejandro kicks him in the stomach and he groans in pain. Alejandro picks him up by his shirt and with a smirk he shoves his hand through Cristian's chest.

NO!

My eyes widen in shock as all of this happens in slow motion.

"You've lived a long enough life. Right son?" Alejandro asks as he still have his hand through his chest.

Cristian looks at him with droopy eyes and smiles crookedly. Cristian shoves his hand through Alejandro's chest. Alejandro looks at him wide eyed, "So have you dad. Long live the king." Cristian said before both of them rip their hands out at the same time.

Both their bodies fall to the ground, life less.

I can't breath. I feel as if my body as been drained. Half of me is gone and I can never get it back.

I shift back into human form as I feel myself giving out.

"Elle! Elle!" Andrew shouts as he runs up to me. "No, no baby come on. Keep your eyes open."

"I can't" I whisper.

"You got to try. Where does it hurt?"

I try to point to my back but my hand fell limp. "It hurts."

"I know you just got to stay with me. Elle? Elle!"

Everything starts to get clouded. The last thing that ran through my mind before I black out is that fact that,

Cristian is dead.
