Chapter 10

Tyson
I could damn near hear the lamentation of so many… So many in pain from what he has done. It does not matter *why*… what matters is that he killed innocent people. 5 units, including his own….
I took deep breaths until the flickering flame between these accursed horns died down, and I could think straight.
My royal guard stood in the water waiting for my command…. My heart was very heavy. Everything we’d done in this life was together… Everything.
We were even held in the same hand the day we were born. There was Nothing we 3 didn’t get into… Grace has to know by now…I watched the tournament she entered start to finish…. yet… I cannot feel her…..
He broke our bond with his *sin*.
He broke his oath to protect those little mortals. They do not have to worry. I will avenge this for them.
“I want him captured and brought here Alive. He will answer for what he has done. I do not care why he did it…. 25 wolves…. That’s 5 units of Warriors killed in My Pack that he Did Not Want.” I snarled. “But if he ran…. He’s probably scared, possibly injured. I’ll give him today to turn himself in.” I said pulling out my phone.
I opened the MoonPack system. It was something my grandmother invented with the Council to aid in not only pack management, but also Alpha management…
It hurt me… more than my boiling blood…. I endure.
Fuck it hurt to do it, but Kaizen from this moment will no longer be a Beta. He cannot be…. Who would follow a serial pack killer?
“From now until he is sentenced, my brother will be a vagabond. He robbed so many…. So many mortals of their safe, happy lives. He broke his oath to them, that he would protect them. He broke his word to me, that he would be a Beta I could trust…”
I know my family already knew… I’ll see them later today anyway… There was no need to have a meeting without my mate. She is Queen now; It only right at least one of us gets some rest.
Today was my birthday… it seemed this was an additional present.
Happy fucking birthday to me.



Samira
I knew this was a dream.
It was just too perfect.
I frolicked in the grass. I was happy in the moonlight. Should I be out here in the forest at night? Alone? No. As a creature of the Lord of Purity, I’m supposed to be in bed! This was probably the cheekiest thing I’d ever done.
Well, that and mate an actual demon lord, a Duke of Hell… I still can’t believe I did that! I was so excited to wake up and tell my sister; I bet she’ll be so Jealous!
I was naked, running around and prancing around the castle grounds. I was my unicorn form, galloping as fast as a wild mustang, so fast that the wind made my glittery white hair actually sparkle like a gemstone.
I jumped, landing near the maze behind my mate’s castle. The statues out there were SO pretty too! There was even one of my mother out there, though it was her human form with my father, holding his magic sword….. I inherited father’s perfect face. It really was perfect, as elves don’t get blemishes, even pimples.
A beam of moonlight shined on me like a spotlight…. I nearly glowed… I felt almost like I was being blessed…
“There you are.” Said a voice…. It was deep…. Dark. My dream went from happy and free, to captive…. And sinister. “Come with me.”
“NO!” I yelled running for my life, but I could feel the stomps of the beast behind me. Why hadn’t I woken up yet?! I Screamed.
A rope was tossed around my neck and I was yanked off all four of my hooves.... It took the wind out my lungs.
I blinked.
I wore the dress that was picked out for the Wolf King’s coronation ceremony, bound with rope… I was dragged in a throne room made of black stone… with red stained-glass windows… but everything was distorted. The only real thing I could make out was the sea of endless clawed hands. I don’t know how I was captured by demons, just that one moment I was in a field enjoying the moonlight… then another I was here. I was captured, being presented to someone.
“Let me go!” I screamed. I could hear demonic chanting. “Let me GO!” I struggled, but it wouldn’t budge.
This is what I get! This was MY fault for marking the Duke of Demons!
“A soul for a soul.” Rumbled the enormous demon that was my captor…. I screamed as loud as I could. Maybe if I yell loud enough, I might actually do it in the real world and Tyson could wake me up…
This demon had a deer skull face, but ram’s horns…. He stood at least 15 feet tall, having glowing red tattoos, even on his face and hands... There was no escape no matter how much I tried struggling out the grip of the minotaur-like entity…. “Be still.” He barked. “You must be unharmed.”
“You’re hurting me!” I shouted. He rolled his eyes at me! They were just blue dots…. And he was being sassy….
“We have her master.” Said another… He was blonde, wearing all white, completely out of place… His eyes were blue-violet in the torch lit room, and he held golden brown elk horns, not ram’s like the others… I thought he was my savior, but he was actually the leader by how the demons bowed to him…
“…. Good. Do not mar this one. Her flesh must be intact.” Whispered their leader.
The only thing I could focus on were the ram’s horns, and the massive crown floating between them…. He was enormous, 14 feet tall as he sat on his throne, but I couldn’t make out his face… I squeezed my eyes shut… that was the Horned One.
I was in the black stone, red windowed throne room of the King of Hell….
Of all the things to fear for a unicorn… the Adversary was the biggest one.
“Please don’t make me a bicorn!” I shouted. “I’m not a good unicorn; I know I broke the law! But-”
He chuckled.
It halted my words to a stop.
I never Ever thought I’d encounter the actual Adversary…. But it should have at least crossed my mind…
“Ah, the tiniest horse for my collection. I am the Night Father, and you are mine, and always have been.” He said waving his hand, and it yanked me to him with magic. “It took a lot of work to obtain a Child of Uriel too.” He said referring to my grandfather… the greatest warrior known by my people… It was said that his swordsmanship was so good, that the Lord of Judgment killed him, and forced him out of the war…
Uriel couldn’t defeat the Realm King, but King Uriel, the First Unicorn did defeat many of his other generals single handedly… Many were forced to sleep because of his skill….
“I’m…. I’m of his blood but I am nothing like them. I hold the title of Glittering One… but the only thing that shines is my fur….” I admitted. No… I was forced to speak… I wiggled, but there was nothing to grab, and no way to stop floating…
He chuckled a little louder. “Your escape attempt amuses me more than I’d like to admit.”
“No.” I mumbled rolling over in my sleep, and my hand hit something solid. I hoped that was Tyson… Please wake me up!
“He cannot hear you; you touch only a pillow.” He said firmly.
I was yanked closer to him with magic… My eyes were forced open…. Tyson was a photocopy of this 45-year-old King … The King of Hell smiled smugly, as if he knew I thought he was kind of handsome, if only for the fact that he really did look like an older version of my mate. He probably did hear that if Tyson can… My heart was not pure; I closed my eyes.
