Chapter 90
Enoy pov
Making out front in time to see twenty red-eyed rogues step out of the tree line. Shifting through emotions around me trying to find the slimy feel of the rogues. Well, I assume they would feel slimy like rot because they smell the rot.
The sky turns gray and stormy. Good, he was able to trigger that. Feeling a tickle coming up my arm I see a mini Matilda with a tiny shadow ball on her back. Moving my hand for her to drop off this little bit from Enzo. “Thanks, Mattie. Go find Eris and stay with her. If you need anything yell for Freya she’s close.” With a tap of her front legs on my palm, she jumps off.
The tiny ball of shadow danced on my palm up to my finger swirling wrapping around my middle finger like a ring. This bit of shadow anchors Enzo down. There are three people here he would trust to keep him grounded and one has no clue yet. Once they are bonded mated and marked this little bit of shadow will be permanently locked on Jasmine’s finger. Enzo and Jasmine’s bond will be different than mine. She’s a wolf bonding to a shadow demon. Ambrose bonding is more closely like mine with the biting and injecting of our serum. Ambrose also has his witch handfasting. Enzo’s soul will slip into Jasmine’s shadow, then follow her shadow through her whole being. Infusing her every cell with his shadows and him. Very similar to our marking and he will bite her during feeding and sex as butting is an intimate act between gifted. His bite will instantly heal her for two reasons our healing and his saliva.
The shadow that’s on my finger will wrap around her the same but instead of staying on the surface as it does on me. It will sink into her skin leaving the shadow as a living mark on her finger. It will also leave his name in his clan's symbol. This is because Enzo is the youngest son of queen Meek second of her name. Twelve-generation shadow clan chosen ruling family. Because his mother is the ruling queen of shadows that makes Enzo is a prince and soon Jas a princess. In this realm it means nothing. In the demon realm, it means even though they are on this side. Their pups have a chance to be chosen as the next shadow ruler. If they carry enough shadow demons in them that is.
Walking out to meet the group of rogues the wind whips my hair all around. Keeping my guard up as they just stand there.
A black smoke forms in front of the line of rogues. “a new challenger steps to the field I see. The alpha is no longer worthy of the game. This is your warning my dear. I have grown bored of playing nice. I called in all my marked wolves from your pack. But it was not enough. So the game begins again. Catch me if you can. But like your forefathers, before I see you're losing the games just as they. Just to prove my point.” The smoke looks to look at a rogue “how many pups and young she-wolves did your team steal tonight?” he asked making me growl and drop ready to charge.
“oh well guess you’ll find out later. Until next time.” The smoke explodes covering everything in a thick sour smell. The scent is so thick I can’t smell past it. The smoke stings my eyes causing the. To water. Choking I drop to the ground looking for clean air. I see through my blurry vision everyone else doing the same. The smoke clears and we are all sprawled on the ground in different states of gasping for clean air.
The rogues are gone. The smoke is gone.
Looking around confused. “someone tell me what just happened.” I say to no one staring at the area the rogues were. Nothing not even a trace of the rotten rogue scent. No way it could leave that fast. “Enzo I know what you're going to say but I’m gonna ask, hoping for a different answer. Was that a shadow?” knowing full well it was smoke. “I have no clue as to what that was. None of them had a shadow. How do you not have a shadow.” He asks confused and shock, is very plain to see. “max call your mother and find out what’s going on there something about the things he said bothers me. The rest of us head in and pack up I want the pack home.” No one said anything just nodded and left. Storming back in heading to the judge's panel to speak to my father. Only he’s not there Kai and fallen are. Just before I set my foot down on the bottom step a hand grabs my arm yanking me back.
“shhhh. Stay hidden for a few more moments.” Ambrose whispers. He lets go and I look at him with a glare but he points to the arena floor. Where I am riding a bronc. Falling off hitting the ground hard I feel it on my cheek. Touching my cheek the dirt from where I would have hit is there. I leave the ring and make my way over, too well me.
Pulling a ring off Eris appears and hands Ambrose the ring. Pointing between them all I can say is “huh?” Eris started laughing. “it’s a copy spell. It’s linked to only you two. Unlike normal identical twins, you two are easy to tell apart. What’s the point of having a backup if you can’t use it? So I created this ring and it’s an identical one.” He pulls another one out of his pocket setting one in each of our hands. “I activated the color switch the first time to make sure it works. But all you do is spin the face until it clicks then you’ll look like the other. Then spin it back until it clicks and you back to normal. Now if you need the other then you spin the ring around and spin it the opposite way releasing a pin. Then make a fist. It will activate a blood-to-blood panic. Your bond will have to do the finding of the other. Only so much up and shove into a little charm.” He shrugs. Nodding we slip the rings on. They feel like any other ring nothing special. The black and white marble shines with silver flecks. Wrapped in gold and silver wire locking the stone onto a black and white, I have no clue what it is, ring. It’s both warm and cool.
