Chapter 92 Losing Control

Chapter 92 Losing Control

ELIZABETH'S POV

After Nik's exchange with his men, with haste, he took me inside an under ground bunker that leads inside the castle. The next thing I know, he is putting me on a bed before I hear shuffling around the room.

What the fuck is he doing?

I hear a door slam shut and I snap open my eyes, to look around. I'm in a bedroom, most specifically, his. I quickly get off the bed and try to figure out which direction he went. In my process of searching the room, I spot packed bags.

He's running.

A door opens and he's figure emerges from the room, I think that must be the bathroom. His eyes locks with mine and he pauses.

"I knew you were awake." He stated.

"How come?"

"Your heart beat spiked when we were on the horse." He says with a low chuckle.

Anger, Elizabeth. Anger.

"You think this is funny? We are in a middle of a war!"

"I know that." He smiles not taking his eyes off of me.

I roll my eyes at his nonsense and ask, "Where is the child, Nik?"

"Safe." Is all he says.

"And your head is going to be off in the next second if you don't tell me where she is."

"We both know your not going to do that." He drops the duffle bag he had in his hand and he slowly walks around the bed to me.

"You seem to not know me Nik."

"I know you, Liza. That's why I know you won't do that." He says with that same smile on his face.

Oh really?

In a swift motion, I withdraw my sword from behind me as I grab him by his shirt and roughly push him against the wall. I hold the point of my sword dangerously close to his neck and I snarl in his face.

"You don't know me Nik."

His smile drops from his face but he doesn't do anything. He just stares intently into my eyes and I find myself getting lost in his hazel eyes.

Catching me off guard, he grabs me by the waist and switches our positions. He puts me against the wall while holding my hands down against the wall, causing me to drop my sword.

"I know you more than you think, Liza." He whispers into my ear. "I know your go-to move is always for the head, how swift and delicate you move with your sword. I also know that you still love me." I close my eyes as he slightly graze his teeth against my ear, sending chills down my spine. "I also know you hate me, for what I did to your family and I also know it's them right now, destroying the kingdom I built."

Snapping back to my senses, I huff as I lift my knee to his crotch. He lets go of my hands as he hunches over in pain. I send him another knee to the chest and an elbow to the spine.

He drops on the ground while holding his crotch and I take that as my chance to take up my sword. I step over his body and watch as he gets over his self with a good distance between us.

An explosion goes off so loud the ground shook, from the sound of it feels like it was close by. I really hope they got that child to safety.

Nik's laughter fills my hearing, pulling me back.

"I got to say, I never saw that one coming." He chuckles as he gets up and sits on the bed. "I was so stupid to think that you were actually dead. You always found a way to come back and try to finish what you started."

"This time I will finish what I started."

He drops his head and looks down for a 5 seconds "Your family is your weakness." He whispers before looking back up to me. "And you're mine."

Just the look in eyes could have fooled you, I know better than that. He must think I'm really stupid.

All he does is lie.

I scuff, rolling my eyes and say, "How stupid do I look to you?"

"It's the truth, Liza."

"Stop lying! Ugh!" I scream in frustration. Why am I allowing myself to be pulled into his lies again? Why am I doing this to myself?

"Fine, if you want to tell the truth so much. Why Cristian?"

"What?"

"Why him?" I ask with my voice cracking in the process.

"I needed him, his power. I could have used his father but he was a disgrace to my kind. He tried to kill you."

"But instead, you brought his son back to kill me?!"

"No, I would never do that. It's my power Liza, it's getting weaker. His command was just to kill the werewolves and get his hands on you but now it's all mixed up." He stands up and takes a step towards me but I put my sword up warningly and he stops. "My compulsions are getting weaker by the day, just the other day some of those rogues got their memories back."

"Do you want me to feel sorry for you?"

"No, I want you to know I would never hurt you."

"You already did, Nik. You literally killed me."

"But I didn't. I didn't want anything to happen to you, I swear. It was my father, Liza. He was the one that forced me to tell him where your family was, he was the one that threw that sword, he was the one that did this to you." He begins to take small steps towards me and for some reason I don't want to stop him. "Witnessing him do that to you made me so mad....I killed him that very same night, Liza."

He puts his hands out as he walks towards me cautiously. Not losing eye contact, he slowly wraps his hand around my hand that's holding my sword. Once he realized I wasn't going to attack him, he came closer.

"I've always loved you, Liza. I never stopped." He snakes his arm around my waist and pulls me closer to him.

"What are you doing?" I ask as he begins to leave traces of small kisses on my neck.

"I want to come with me." He whispers.

I furrow my eyebrows in confusion. "What?" I ask pushing him back by the chest.

A smile grows on his face as he looks behind him at the luggage on the floor. "You, me and the baby. We could leave and start a life for ourselves. The life we never got together, we could build an empire." He bites his lip as he looks at me for my reaction. "Just us." He adds.

"Are you crazy?"

"Only for you."

I roll my eyes at him. "If that's not the cheesiest shit you could ever say-" He cuts me off by placing his lips on mine.

Can anyone guess what my dumbass did?

No?

Nothing?

Ok, I'll tell you...

I kissed him back!!

ANDREW'S POV

"Where are they coming from?!"

"Everywhere!" Chris answers.

"They seriously couldn't come themselves, sending their puppets instead." Lucas scuffs.

We are currently surrounded by red eyed demon rogues. For some reason, they smell more rotten than before. It's almost deadly.

"I think their occupied with what's going on over there." Chris points out while looking up the hill at the castle.

My heart sinks as I see the horror. There are Succubus' flying around looking as if setting the entire place on fire and I am pretty sure I heard and explosion not too long ago. I can even smell the rotten and burnt flesh from here.

Elle and Cora is up there, I can't stay here. "Guys, I need to go find Elle. Cover me."

"We got you."

I immediately take off in the castle's direction with both Chris and Lucas backing me to pry the rogues away from me. I can't have anymore distractions.

Anna, Aiden, Felix, Luca and his father, along with a few warriors from each pack tried taking different routes but I'm pretty sure they're all blocked off by rogues too.

The Vampires left to find the Sailor Valley, Rhea directed them to find. We met up with them on our way back to the mountain but they told us Elle already left. Rhea thinks that some of the the girls are probably there so the guys chose to go look for them.

"Where did Lucas go?" Chris asks as we both try to get away from the rogue behind us.

"I don't know. Go find him."

"But-"

"Go find him, Chris!" I command. His wolf whimpers as he runs in the other direction.

I take a quick look back to see the same rogue close on my ass. I try to speed up more but being too late caused them to tackle me. I whimper, feeling pain from my neck being slammed on too hard.

I huff standing up, trying my best to gain balance. Once my blurred vision was clear, I finally got to see the rogue clearly. From the looks of the brown fur, this person looked familiar and from the way they're looking at me, they might know me too.

They snap their jaw at me and I back away in time. I growl, launching at them and putting all my weight on them, causing them to hit hard on the ground. They cry out in pain as I sink my teeth in their neck but as I soon as I did, I let go.

Just the taste of it's blood made my tongue burn. It's as if it's acidic.

I back away from them as I begin to cough up from disgust. My ears perk up once I heard someone scream. I look in the rogues direction to see they've shifted into human form.

It's a girl and not just any girl.

Isabel.

I am in shock as I watch her fully shift back, it looks as if it's painful for her.

She turns around and lock eyes with me. "Andrew? I knew that was you." She half smiled.

Looking at her state made some part of me feel bad for her. She looks so drained and skinner than I remember. Her entire body is shaking as if she's on crack.

She slowly stands up and takes a step towards me. I growl at her warningly and she stops and giggles. "You're cute."

"I'm pretty sure everyone hates me. I don't blame them. I didn't want them, I wanted power but instead I got-" She stops and covers her mouth as she begins to cough. She turns her hand around to show me the black blood in her hand. "This."

"I got this!" She shouts while pointing to her blood covered hand. "I have been in pain and coughing up black blood ever since he marked me and I drank his blood." She begins to walk towards me, ignoring my warnings. "It turned me into those filthy demon dogs and I just want it stop. Make it stop Andrew!" She screams at me as she pulls on her hair root so hard I think she going to pull it out.

As much of a terrible person she is, I can't help but feel sorry for her. She's going through all this pain because of Nikolaos, he's at fault here.... but at the same time she is too. She turned her back on her pack and betrayed them just to get more power, instead it turned her into this.

Like they say, karma is a bitch.

I decide to shift into my human form, just to talk to her or calm her down. I don't know, maybe we can save her. Of course she would never be allowed near me or my people again, let her live her life all alone as a rogue and unwanted. But who am I kidding, there is no saving her.

She has one foot in the grave already.

I stand up on my two feet, cautious of any sudden movement from her. She stands in front of me smiling and says, "Thank you."

With furrowed eyebrows, I ask, "For what?"

"Forgiving me."

"I never forgave you, Isabel."

"Why not? You shifted to show me that you forgave me, right?" She takes another step closer to me and I immediately take a step back while holding my hand out, stopping her.

"No, I didn't, I just want to talk."

"Talk? We could do much more than just talk." She says with a mischievous smirk while looking me up and down. I immediately cover my dick once I remembered I was fully naked. "You don't have to cover up around me, Andrew just like I don't." She licks her lips as she runs her hand down her cleavage.

"I know you've wanted me the second I step foot on the pack land."

"No, I didn't and certainly not now."

Her smirk drops into a scowl. "That bitch changed you."

"Don't you dare call her that!"

"What happened to the Andrew that didn't give a fuck about wanting a mate? What happened to you just fucking someone when needed and not wanting some chick to slow you down, huh? What happened to the original plan, Andrew?"

"She did. I don't care about that anymore, Isabel. I was a stupid kid that didn't know what he wanted but now I do. So get over me not wanting to fuck you."

"Yeah right, you, her and that stupid little baby everyone is fawning over. Oh wait, she'd good as gone." She laughs.

I stump over to her and grab her by the throat, squeezing as hard as I can. "What did you say?"

"You heard." She chocks out.

"Where is my daughter?" I growl as I slowly lift her off the ground with my hand still around her throat.

"The last time I saw her, one those flying chicks was giving her to Kol." I could see a huge vain popping out on her forehead and she begins to look paler. "I really like getting chocked by you." She laughs.

Sucking my teeth and punch through her chest, ripping her heart out. There is no saving her, why the fuck try.

I drop her body along with her detached heart on the ground before shifting into my wolf and running off to find my family.

ELIZABETH'S POV

Nik kissing me totally caught me off guard but I didn't want him to stop. His lips are so much softer than I remember.

He cups my face and kisses me so gently, as if afraid I'll reject him but I don't want to, not yet. I pull him in by the waist, bringing him closer until our bodies touch.

The kiss gets more deeper as we get hungrier for each other. He lowly groans, pushing me back against the wall and trails kisses down to my neck. I let a breath out, enjoying the feeling of his lips on me.

"I love you." He whispers to me.

Wait-

I suck in a breath as I snap my eyes open. What am I doing?

This is what I have been trying to avoid but I keep letting him stop me. I keep letting myself fall for him over and over again like some idiot. He made me weak before but not again.

I won't let him.

Anger, use your anger.

I tighten my hold around my sword and take on last breath before grabbing him by the shoulder and pushing him back before shoving the blade through his heart. He looks at me with widen eyes, shocked at my sudden action.

I look him straight in the eyes and say, "I hate you and I want you to know that I will die peacefully knowing that you are dead and will stay that way. You won't be here to ruin anyone's life anymore, Nik."

He takes his final breath before I let go of him and allow his body to drop on the concrete floor. "By the way, I did finish what I started."

As I take in a deep breath, I feel something on my face and wipe it away realizing I'm crying. I place my trembling hands that's covered in his blood over my mouth as it hits me.

He's finally gone, and I killed him.

I killed the man I loved.
