Odessa’s POV
*****
When I saw Kaelos getting snatched out of my hands, I froze. My lips trembled as I held my breath, contemplating what to do when my ears caught the sound of him growling with rage at soone.
Then a female voice began echoing a monologue, revealing all sorts of atrocities including killing his mother.
The raven witch.
I could feel Kaelos’ shock and confusion in that mont as if it were mine.
And on top of all that, I could feel his rage simring just beneath the calm exterior he kept with the raven witch. She was taunting him.
Trying to show him how powerless he was within her pocket dinsion. Trying to force him to react, knowing fully well that she had used the elent of surprise to subdue him.
I couldn’t stand it any longer.
’Odessa, if we step out of this truck... there’s no turning back.’ Sirena blurted solemnly just when the invisibility sigil on my arm wore off. ’Are you sure about this? I think—’
"We can’t stand idle, Sirena." I interrupted with a cold tone, snapping my fingers as I felt my magic brim.
"Kaelos is out there fighting for his life while I’m here being... being nothing." I croaked, trying to hide my pain through gritted teeth. "I don’t give a fuck what the elders of the Luminari Coven say. I wouldn’t stay put and watch the people I care about get hurt when I know I can do sothing to help. Not anymore."
With that, I glanced over my shoulder at the four werewolf children in cages behind . They were still unconscious but one of them seed to be stirring in his sleep.
I smiled wryly, drawing in a deep breath before I barged out of the truck.
That’s when the real chaos started.
From releasing a sonic howl to sending blasts of fire magic at the raven witch who seed so eager to taunt and get to use my hybrid abilities.
Too eager if I might add.
But my emotions led , spiking my will to shoot her off the air of the pocket dinsion when she separated Kaelos from through a dark magic wall.
"Let it all out, hybrid girl!" The raven witch goaded with a mocking voice. "All the pain. The years of bullying and stigmatisation you’ve faced. The fact that the people you once called family want you to hide who you are."
My eyes widened slightly as I blinked at her with confusion and shock before speaking slowly. "H–How do you know so much about—"
Suddenly, she stretched out her arms while levitating several ters above and made a few hand gestures, causing my jaw to clench.
"Still so naive." She cackled as I slowly brought my gaze to the ground underneath my feet.
That was when I noticed a connection of dark purple runes spinning in unison, causing a cold shiver to run down my spine.
’Girl, I don’t know what that is but it ain’t good.’ Sirena echoed in my ntal space but her voice soon started becoming distant.
I swerved my head to the dark wall blocking from Kaelos and realised it was no longer visible like it used to be a few minutes ago.
And worst of all... I couldn’t feel the mate bond!
It kept flickering, one second making feel like I could hold onto Kaelos ntally if needed and the next just... disappearing.
Like it never existed in the first place.
Dread filled as I took a few steps back, violet flas still burning around as my head spun. A voice soon began whispering in my head.
’Odessa... How long do you want to run away from your destiny? From who you really are?’
I breathed heavily, roaring with anger before I began sending blasts and slashes of violet flas everywhere around , but no matter how hard I tried, I didn’t hit anyone or anything.
aning whoever was talking in my mind wasn’t here.
"Who the fuck are you?" I snarled, baring my fangs as I glared at the raven witch.
She had a knowing smirk on her face but kept levitating, not bothering to send any attacks my way.
Whatever was happening with now... it was part of her plan all along. And I had conveniently fallen into the trap.
’I am your salvation. I am the one who truly gets you on this planet where true hybrids have been hunted to extinction for centuries.’ The voice continued with a calm that made uneasy. ’Just give in. Give up control. Trust . And you’ll see how much different your life will beco.’
Was this so kind of fucking joke?
"I will NEVER give control to anyone. You hear ?" I snarled, fixing all my attention on the raven witch as I placed both my hands on my forehead.
I struggled, trying to fight off the voice in my head. And then... my magic suddenly spiked to a cataclysmic level, causing my flas to turn to a violet golden colour.
I let out a scream, spreading out my arms as the pocket dinsion shook from the power I exerted. Sothing ca out of my body at that mont... like a corrupted parasite that had tried taking seed.
The raven witch proceeded to send a blast of powerful black energy at which I blocked with my arms crossed in an "x".
And then... Kaelos finally ripped through the black wall with his wolf transformation as the golden violet flas shot into the air in the form of a pillar of flas.
The air pulsed with energy that sent tingling down my spine and caused my skin to vibrate. The heat slowly started causing my clothes to peel off piece by piece but then... it stopped.
It was as if my magic had more control. More shape. More substance.
Yet, it still felt as chaotic as ever.
"Die!" I let out a final roar that shook the entire pocket dinsion, my eyes blazing with a bright light as I pushed at the raven witch with a blast of flas.
At the sa mont, my gaze flicked to the truck in which Kaelos and I had co here. The human soldier who had been standing close to the truck was now nothing but a pile of molten flesh.
I could tell the truck was heating up as well and couldn’t imagine the situation the children inside were in.
Kaelos suddenly jumped past in his wolf form, his silver eyes glinting as he exchanged a quick glance with . That quick look was enough to let know that now, as always... he was there with .
We were in this... together.
With that, Kaelos let out a guttural growl as he lunged at the raven witch in the air, sending a shockwave when his feet disconnected from the ground, blasting dust and debris everywhere.
The raven witch was already disoriented and quickly went on the defensive, trying to dodge Kaelos’ attacks.
At that sa mont, I fixed my gaze on the truck containing the wolf children and managed to lift it off the ground with telekinesis, sending it away from this side of the pocket dinsion and all the way to the other side where the captives were waiting.
With that done, I turned my head back to Kaelos and the raven witch, watching her eyes brim with panic as she tried dodging each of Kaelos’ strikes which sent shockwaves and slashes of wind.
"Ti to end this," I muttered, pointing both my hands at the raven witch and clenching my fists.
