Chapter 70 Once the love of my life

Chapter 70 Once the love of my life

ANDREW'S POV.

The feeling of Déjà vu comes to mind. We have been doing this over and over again, trying to save Elle from the demons. It fucking angers me that she would risk her life ever so foolishly.

She has the most kindest heart, finding the need to save everyone even if it's risking her own life. She's a crazy chocolate lover, a great leader and the girl I never thought I would have fallen in love with two years ago. It would kill me if anything happened to her and she knows that.

That's why I'm so fucking mad!

Just the thought of losing that woman....

I am sure the very moment she is in my arms, all that anger will vanish into thin air because I don't like being mad at her.

I can't.

We all stare at the brick building from a distance on a hill.

"You still can't mind link her?" Jeremiah asks looking down at me. I whimper telling him no and turn my attention back to the castle.

"It's time." Daniel announces.

I instantly take off in the castle's direction with the three of them behind me. We stop as soon as we were finally on their property and cautiously maneuvered our way without causing any disturbance.

I signal to Simon I was shifting back to human form and he throws me my sweatpants. We quickly hide behind the back of the building and sneak in by the underground tunnel Lyra's spell potion directs us to.

ELIZABETH'S POV.

I ignorantly got out of the shower, after drying myself and enter the bedroom naked, I really don't see the need for towels. I spot a black mini swing V-neck spaghetti strap bowknot skater dress on the bed accompanied with matching black flats.

I got dressed and honestly liked the choice. I would say I feel comfortable in my own skin but.... you know.

One my way over to the door a sharp pain rushes through me, causing me to kneel on the ground in pain. It increasingly got worst and I couldn't help but scream in pain.

I could feel Elle being drawn in and out until I gave up and let her back in control.

ELLE'S POV.

"AHH!" It feels like my entire insides are being clawed at. Tears well up in my eyes as it feels like I am about to give out from the pain. I desperately want to.

The door bust open and Andrew looks around frantically until his eyes meets my teary ones. He immediately kneels down taking me up bridal style and I wrap my arms around his neck.

"I'm sorry." I cry as the pain still gnaws in my stomach.

"Shh baby, it's fine. I just got to get you out of here." I rest my head in the crease of his neck, taking in his scent to help calm the pain. It does but barely.

It still hurts but not as much.

I then realize Daniel and Jeremiah behind us, looking around frantically. It just dawned on me on what's actually happening. This isn't a dream. This isn't the fear of my born child being the cause of death and me fantasizing about Andrew coming to save me from the demons.

It's real and now I am about to have a panic attack.

If Nikolaos spots any of them who knows what he might do.... but how the hell did they actually get in without anyone noticing?

Knowing Nikolaos was already expecting Elizabeth to come here, sets a bad feeling gnawing in my stomach, different from the one that's clawing at my insides.

I shake my head trying to tell them it's a trap. "N-no." I barely get out as the pain gets worse, causing me to whimper.

"Shit. Baby, we're almost there."

"Where the hell is Simon?" Jeremiah whisper yell.

They all stop for a brief moment looking around for him.

Daniel turns back around and puts his hands in defense. "I swear he was behind me a minute ago."

"We can't do this right now. Something is wrong with Elle. We have to leave now!" Andrew whispers.

They both sigh before running ahead of us. They open a trap door on the floor and let Andrew climb down first and they follow behind.

"I feel like this is too easy." Daniel whispers.

"No, don't jinxing it." Jeremiah groans.

Andrew slows down. "He's right though. A secret tunnel that is just apparently open and no security?"

"Something is up isn't?" Jeremiah asks with a frown.

Daniel and Andrew nod and Jeremiah's frown deepens. "Why can't things just be easy for once." He mumbles before walking in front of us. "I'll watch out for attackers at the front while Daniel watch out at the back."

They all agree and find their way to an exit. The sun light hits my eyes and I whimper from the contact to my eyes, considering I haven't caught sight of it for the past couple days.

Right away someone attacks Jeremiah, who he quickly rips her head off and throws her body down the tunnel before closing the door.

They run into the woods and stop as they hear footsteps coming towards us, fast. Daniel turns around ready to fight but stops when he realizes it's Simon, carrying someone over his shoulder.

"What the hell happened to you and who the hell is that?"

"It's Junior. He attacked me while we were looking for Elle and he was a tough one to take down."

A small smile grows on my face knowing Simon found him. Sadness, relief and worry plays out his face one by one and it's understandable.

"Is it weird that a mob of them hasn't attacked us yet..... and what's wrong with Elle?" He asks as he realizes my state.

"We realized that too and we found her like this. We don't know what's wrong."

"We have to get her to Lyra."

I scream in pain once again as the pain moves to my chest, it feels like I'm on fire.

They all look at me with worry and sympathy before taking off into the woods immediately. Five minutes in and I blacked out from the pain.

NIKOLAOS' POV.

Watching Liza today really set something inside me. She's a challenge from the last time I remember. I like this side of her, two decades ago I would have been heartbroken to see her like this, especially when I was the cause.

Liza was the sweet, caring, compassionate, and stubborn person everyone loved, so did I.

I did love her, I may still do.... in a messed up way.

The first time I laid eyes on her I was compelled by her beauty, I wanted to see her everyday since then. She wasn't so fond of me at first considering her and I people's history.

The night I finally got to have a full conversation with her, I knew I loved her... and her laughter. That's all I could think about for the days I was away from her, just hoping to hear her laugh and run my hand through her beautiful raven colored hair.

Now she is the complete opposite, stubborn is still on the list though. She's now ruthless and out for revenge for what I did to her family.

Why did I let that happen?

Believe it or not, I ask myself the question everyday.

My father found out about us. He was disgusted to find out his only son, the one next in line for the thrown was sleeping with a succubus and go as much as to love her. He called them the demon king's worst creation but they were far from it.

He forced me to find out where her family was hiding and he wouldn't take no for an answer. My father was a cruel leader and father to his son, say no to him and you're dead.

I tried to convince him not to lay a hand on my Liza but I should have known better. He lied to me and threw the sword right through her chest, with his bare hands. I watch as she looked at me betrayed, heartbroken. I could see the in pain her eyes and my heart broke as she fell to her death.

One thing I left out, just like Liza, I also became ruthless and heartless.

I killed my father that same night. I allowed my anger to take control for once in my life and it turned me into this. The man I feared as a child, the man who every one feared.

My father, and just like him, I was forgotten. Mostly because I wanted to be off everyone's radar, especially when I learnt Liza wasn't actually dead and she tried to get her revenge by killing me.

Shock was an understatement when I learnt this and it just brought back the pain I caused her. Immediately after 2 decades I disappeared and watched as she killed every demon that came her path.

I was impressed by her.

When I realized the demon power was slowly getting weaker, I panicked and I couldn't allow that to happen and she was the first to come to mind.

I knew she wasn't going to agree but some part of me hoped she would because.... it was me. But she proved wrong multiple times when she threatened to kill me. I would have brutally killed anyone whoever dared to threaten me, but she isn't anyone. She was once the love of my life..... and the girl I betrayed.

"Nikolaos." A voice pulled me out of my thoughts. "I have something exciting news to share."

I raise my eyebrow at her nonchalantly. "Elle is pregnant and you could use that as your advantage."

I sigh and look back outside through the window. "Why don't you seem interested?"

"Isabel, if you have anything remotely useful or what I don't know about please just fucking leave."

"You knew? Then where is she."

I was about to tell her it's none of business until Adam came running in. "We have company, just spotted on the property."

A smirk grows on my face and I look back out the window. "We do?"

"Yes sir. Should we attack now?"

My original plan was to kill them as they stepped foot on my property but now it doesn't seem like Liza would agree if I hurt her little friends. "No, call them off. Let them get what they came for."

"Sir-"

"No one lay a hand on them or else I will have their heads, but if they go anywhere near the cells you do whatever it takes to stop them. Can't let them get their hands on my secret weapon.".....

"They're leaving now."

"Good."

"What are we going to do now?"

"We wait. We wait until the baby is born and then we make our move. For now we just watch them."

I will get what I want.
