The Alpha King's Witch Bride Chapter 187: Never Meant To Exist

The blast hurtled toward us like a wrathful cot, tearing through the very fabric of the ntal sky.

"Move!" I scread, but I wasn’t fast enough.

Kaelos stood up from the sand and stepped in front of with a roar, thrusting out his palm. Suddenly, a do of silvery energy erupted around us, forming just in ti to absorb the brunt of Zane’s lightning.

The impact rattled my bones but not as much as seeing Kaelos performing such a feat.

My ears rang as if the entire ocean had scread at once. I stumbled, catching myself on one knee.

"Have you always been able to do that?" I asked, struggling to catch my breath as I stared at his back. "Or, would that only work within this ntal space?"

He breathed heavily as well as he turned around to face , a wry smile on his face. "I thought you did that. All I could think about was shielding you from the blast."

He stood firm, his breath heavy but unbroken, his cape fluttering like wings. He stared at with silver eyes burning like starlight before he added softly. "You okay though?"

"I’m still standing," I rasped, standing to my feet. "Barely..."

Sirena’s voice rang through my mind like a steadying anchor. ’You need to stop reacting like a human girl. You’re not one. You’re a freaking hybrid!’

I am a hybrid.

Magic simred beneath my skin, surging wildly as I clenched my hands into fists. My fingers tingled with raw magic energy. The weight of the air, the hum of energy... everything was sharper now.

I narrowed my gaze on Zane as he floated above the water, his arms wide like so cursed ssiah.

"Let’s shut this bastard up," I said firmly, clenching my jaw as I glanced at Kaelos beside .

Kaelos smirked, glancing at as well before he nodded. "Gladly."

Zane raised both arms and the sea responded like a beast awakened. Tsunamis ford in an instant, towers of water writhing into monstrous shapes. Lightning coiled around them like chains of punishnt.

"Try surviving this!" He shrieked, hurling his hands forward.

The waves surged, as more lightning crackled in the sky, spreading for hundreds of ters in the ntal scape.

He really wasn’t exaggerating when he said he’s a god here.

Kaelos moved first.

His foot slamd into the sand, cracking the ground in a ripple of force. He leaped into the air like gravity was non-existent, punching one of the water beasts’ midair... his fist glowing white-hot with his Alpha King aura.

The water beast shattered into millions of tiny water droplets, spreading a mist that clouded the area for hundreds of ters.

But more spiraling water formations were heading for us.

I scread and raised my hands, my instinct taking over. The wind around howled louder, matching my heartbeat. My magic surged to life in tune with my instincts and emotions. Fire and frost warred within before combining in a cyclone of bladed wind.

"Fall!" I shouted, throwing my hands toward the sky.

A spiral of mixed elental magic shot upward... blue-white frost fused with burning violet fire. It slamd into the second tsunami creature, freezing it mid-surge and detonating it with a burst of molten shards.

Zane snarled and dove lower, wind whipping his cloak behind him as he sent a swarm of dark energy daggers toward us.

Kaelos landed beside again.

"I’ll shield while you attack." He growled, and raised his right leg before stomping heavily on the ground, sending a wall of sand and debris that successfully shielded us.

The daggers collided with it and burst like insects against glass.

At that mont, I focused, feeling my heartbeat.

I felt the rage in my blood and the magic in my breath.

I threw my hands out again and this ti, roots burst from the sand, glowing with ethereal energy. They wrapped around Zane’s legs mid-air, anchoring him for just a mont.

Kaelos seized the opening. He sprinted forward and leaped, crashing into Zane like a cot, both of them tumbling through the sky, crashing into the beach like falling gods.

The ground trembled when they fell, sending shockwaves.

Sand turned to glass under the pressure of their impact. I ran toward them, trying to focus my magic again, but sothing hit hard mid-run.

Pain exploded in my chest.

Zane’s magic, dark and powerful, struck with a pulse of energy, throwing backward.

"Odessa!" Kaelos shouted.

I hit the ground, wheezing while my arms trembled.

My vision blurred as Zane stood once more, his body covered in cracks that glowed with the sa sickly dark gold as his eyes. He looked like the magic was eating him alive.

"You don’t belong here, hybrid!" He screeched, blood and black ooze dripping from his mouth. "You were never ant to have power! You were never ant to exist!"

I stood again slowly as I gasped for breath, fighting through the pain.

"Neither were you," I said, my voice low and cold. "But we’re here."

Kaelos limped to my side, blood trailing from his temple. "Let’s end this."

Zane let out a final scream and summoned a storm of lightning so massive the clouds cracked and twisted, the sea boiled, and the air bent.

"Together," Kaelos said, extending his hand.

I took it.

Magic surged between us like fire through copper wire. My power mingled with his, and for a mont, the storm stilled, as the ntal space itself hesitated.

Our joined hands lifted, glowing with radiant force, silver from him and bright violet from .

We raised our arms.

And then we unleashed.

The combined blast of our essence tore forward, not just destroying the storm, but obliterating Zane’s form from the inside out. He scread in pain as the magic seared through his stolen flesh, burning away the remnants of his essence.

The light was blinding.

When it faded, the sky returned to calm. The moon brightened again and the water settled.

Zane was gone. Faded out of existence.

Kaelos and I breathed heavily as we both stared at each other while still holding hands.

However, before we could even begin to celebrate our hard-earned victory, a silvery female voice echoed around the ntal space.

"Well done!"

Gods, what now?

I turned my head to the horizon where a figure surrounded by a blinding silver light descended from the sky.
