Chapter 121
Enoy pov
Pacing the living room knowing I should be out there fighting with my pack. I can’t. I hold the future of our pack in my growing belly. The rogue king has set about another game to play. This one is closer to home. The message was simple and vague.
-round two
The floor is solid
the floor is liquid
the floor is hungry
The floor is new
The floor is old
Have you a clue?
Come find me and play the ownership of the beta twins are at stake.
Good luck finding me-
Max fly out of the office down the stair and through the door just barely before he shifted. I had just barely finished reading it when alarms blare. Stumbling as I feel the snaps in my chest. A whole line of warriors on patrol was gone in a single breath. Enzo appeared and grabbed me from my office and placed me in my suite. Riding through the shadows always strikes me as odd. It’s cold, not unpleasant just cold. Whereas misting is like a warm embrace. My theory is different demons that have these abilities reflect the type of demon they are. Ambrose is part lust demon, the part that has that gift. He’s got a few other demon parts due to his sire. Lust is a warm feeling a scent in the air. A mist of desire so misting is warm. Enzo is a shadow demon well shadows are dark and cool. I mean they are the shade you hide from the sun so ya that’s my theory.
Jas is already pacing the living room. “got you too didn’t he?” she points everywhere. I nod as fallen and the boys appear. “guess we are grounded.” I huff. Kaleb comes rushing from his room dean not far behind. “should have been sooner Ambrose and Enzo put us on lockdown.” Has huffs dropping to the couch. Smirking over his shoulder as he continues. “I’m not grounded I didn’t go and get myself knocked up!” opening the door. Jas tries to storm up but her belly is in the way. I follow behind Dean. I’ll just and I’m bounced back. “what?” I scream.
Ros and Eris fly past us through the door. Oh hell no. Mustering all my ability to mist. Yes as this demon grows it’s gotten harder to mist but I still can. Or I could I mean cause ya, not even a tickle. Storming over to the couch I plop down crossing my arms over my chest. Yes, I’m pouting.
My chest still stinging from the loss of eight wolves at once when fallen screamed roars and whimpers only moments before I feel a red hot poker staving through my chest. Gasping for air I can’t take in as my chest burns from the inside. I want to say I could hear them talking to me as if they are caring for me but I can’t. All I can hear is my blood rushing through my veins trying to stop the burning fire. Then I hear a husky gravely voice. “your beta won. He found my pet. The beta twins are safe. But you cheated so a price must be paid. It’s now a fight for life and death. Your life and the life of the beta are tied. curing one cures the other. What is the catch? Glad you asked like I said cue one cures the other but the cue for one is not the same for the other. Two cues you have. Which one cures you my dear and which one kills you? Good luck in saving you both.” And the room comes to focus again. The pain I’m my chest is still there.
“Find max now!” I cough out. “zozo is already on it. What’s wrong?” Jas cries out. Sitting up slowly as Enzo arrives placing Max's lifeless body on the kitchen table. Fallen is scream crying trying to get to max. Rose and rosemary are holding her back. Getting to the table two envelopes are staples to Max’s chest. Growling I pull them off. One has I green liquid the other a blue liquid. “what is it?” Eris asks. “the antidotes to whatever the fucking rogue king did to us.” I answer holding them up to the light. Tilting them trying to see through them. “what the fuck are you waiting for give it to him!” fallen screams. Spinning I storm over to her holding them up. “which one? Go on pick one. Oh, and if it’s wrong we both die. So go the fuck on fallen choose one and give it to him?” I know I will be paying for my outburst later. Just as much as I know she didn’t mean it either. Our emotions are all high and if it was reversed I don’t know if I would act any different. But right now I needed her to think. I needed her to see what was at stake. I needed her to understand I don’t want to fail.
With a slow nod, she drops her shoulders and head. Setting the vials down I pull her to me. Hugging her until she hugs me back. Pulling back I nod at her and she nods back. Picking the vials back up I walk over to where max is. Looking around the room at everyone looking for something that could tell me what one to pick. Where is Ambrose when I need him?
Going to the kitchen I grab a couple of napkins. Opening the vials I put a drop of each on the plates. Both oily. Both smooth. Both orderless. Looking out at everyone I do the only thing I could think is I drank them both. Why? Easy he said if I drank the wrong one I would not we would die. But I’d I drank the right one we both live. He never said that drinking the wrong one kills us both no kills me. So I can save max or figure out the impossible. I choose max.”
