Mother of the Moon - Chapter 177 - New Power
Zelena.
The blood in my veins bubbled under my skin. I could feel my light dying out, and in its place the darkness rose up. My power ignited and the electric sparks caused my hair to stand up. My narrowed eyes burned holes into Galterio’s face, while he stood smirking down at me.
“I will kill you” I hissed through my clenched teeth. Using his unnatural speed, he appeared in front of me and grabbed my jaw roughly. Cole’s still warm blood smeared over my chin, where Galterio’s fingertips pressed into my face.
“You will love me” he hissed back. He pulled my face forward and crashed his lips hard up against my own. I tried to push him away, but his other hand came around and grabbed the back of my neck, holding me in place. Galterio pushed his tongue into my mouth and swirled it around. I would rather gouge my eyes out with spoons than feel his slimy tongue roll around in my mouth. I chomped my teeth down, biting into his tongue hard. So hard that I could feel his warm blood fill my mouth. He grunted and jumped backwards. His hand flew up to his face and he wiped the blood from his lips. I spat out the blood and saliva that had gathered in my mouth, hoping it would also get rid of the taste he left behind. I laughed and the rest of his blood dribbled down my chin. I laughed at the stupid look on his face, he thought I wasn’t going to fight back. He thought I was just going to lay back and take it.
“You’re a fucking idiot if you ever think I will have you. I will never be yours” I cackled evilly. The darkness in my heart sent a shiver down my spine. I was burning with rage, but my blood ran cold. The ice slipped through my veins, chilling me to the core.
“Now, now Beauty. You don’t want to hurt my feelings, do you?” he sneered and stepped up closer to me again.
“Fuck you and your feelings” I snapped up at him. He crouched down and leaned his elbows on his knees.
“You will either give yourself to me willingly, or I will take you by force. Either way, that mut you are carrying will die, and then you will bear my heir” he hissed venomously. I dug my fingertips into the earth, if I didn’t, I would swipe out and slap his stupid smug face. I lowered my head, narrowed my eyes and smiled. Galterio seemed confused by my smile, his head tipped to the side and the corner of his lip quirked up.
“In your fucking dreams” I snickered. With that I flung my arm out, sending Galterio flying backwards and colliding with a tree. He jumped back to his feet, with one hand on the ground and his canines extended. I let the power flow through my body and made myself weightless. I lifted myself up and stayed hanging just inches from the ground. I moved my hands and positioned them in front of me, with my fingers directed at Galterio. The blue sparks that have recently been making an appearance, were now gone. In their place, black whisps of smoke twisted and twirled around my fingers, like alien tentacles. The darkness now has control over my power, not just my heart. Good. Let's see how he likes this.
I pictured myself stabbing Galterio through the heart. Like he did to Cole. I saw the long sharp blade in my hand and felt myself driving it into his flesh. The smoke at the end of my hands reformed into jagged pike like shapes. I wrapped my fingers around them, and they felt like cold ice. Hard and rigid, but cold to the touch. I looked back up to Galterio who was watching my hands curiously. I flung my right hand out and the little dagger flew through the air towards Galterio. He rolled to the side and the crystalized smoke hit the tree behind him, it burst into smoke again and then dissipated. I flung another and this time he jumped over it. I curled my teeth back and growled. Fine. I moved my arms in a continuous motion, throwing dagger after dagger at Galterio. The fucker was too fast. He ducked and weaved, rolled and jumped, avoiding all of them. If I can’t throw it where he is, then I need to throw it to where he will be. I took a deep breath, letting the air fill my body. The power swelled inside me, pushing at the seams and ready to burst out. I threw both of my arms out to the side and multiple daggers shot out of me. They flew from my hands, arms, chest and stomach, shooting in all directions.
Galterio screamed and grabbed at his shoulder. The sharp little edge that had lodged into his skin, puffed into smoke and disappeared. The point where it stabbed into Galterio’s skin had turned black and little veins began to spread out from the black oozing mark.
“What is this?” he roared,
“This is me, dear Mate. You said you wanted me to give myself to you. Well here I am, take it” I shouted and threw more pikes in his direction. He was just a little slower now. This new dark magic could affect him, unlike my usual power. Why? I don’t know. But I will use it to my advantage. Another one hit him in the side between his hip and ribs. He yelled and doubled over, holding his side.
“Stop it Zelena, I’m warning you” he growled and glared at me.
“This is what you wanted, remember” I sneered,
“I’m not playing with you”
“You only want to play when you are winning, that’s no fun” I chuckled,
“Enough!” he roared. He ran forward and grabbed me around the neck. He was talking as a way to distract me. And stupid me fell for it. My feet touched back down on the ground and my ankle screamed at the added weight. I lifted my hand, but again he was too quick, he grabbed it before I got the chance to wiggle a finger. I growled and tried to pull my arm free. Galterio rolled his lips back and showed his fully extended canines. He jerked his hand to the side and my wrist snapped. I screamed out loud as my legs gave way. Galterio didn’t let me fall, instead he held all of my weight buy my broken wrist and compressed throat.
The darkness within me was anything but weak, and I could feel the fight brewing steadily. It powered my rage, gave me the energy to keep fighting. It made me blood thirsty. And after watching Galterio punch his arm through Cole’s chest, I thirsted for his blood. The cold crept along my skin, leaving goosebumps as it went. I felt it twist its way along my arm and slowly wrap around my wrist. Galterio hissed and quickly dropped my hand, he moved his eyes to my broken wrist, and they widened in shock.
“What are you doing?” he snarled at me. I felt the blood in my fingers and hand turn to ice, and then came the audible crack of my bone snapping back into place. The pain was incredible, but for some reason, I liked it. It made me feel powerful. Galterio may have been holding me up by the throat, but he was in no way dominating this current situation. I was in control here. He just didn’t know it yet. I lifted my now healed hand and rested it on his shoulder. The cool darkness slipped from my fingers and caressed his bare skin. His face contorted with the pain, but he was unable to move. His mouth opened and he roared into the sky. I smirked at the pain written all over his face, it pleased me that I was the cause of it. I let my claws extend through the tips of my fingers and pressed them into his skin. The black smoke that was my darkness, slithered its way into his blood stream, causing him to roar once again. One second, I was getting pleasure out of the pain on his face, and the next he was gone from my sight.
I was spun around through the air and large firm arms were wrapped around me. A ferocious growl echoed through the trees, a growl I recognised. I looked up over my shoulder, to see Tobias’s dark and angry eyes looking down at me. Deep frown lines ran across his forehead and his long fangs were out and ready to rip into some flesh. I turned to look forward again and the sight that greeted me sent chills of pleasure and excitement through my stomach. Gunner stood completely naked, with his hand around Galterio’s neck, holding him a few inches off the ground. Galterio is no small Were, neither is Gunner, but the way in which his muscles tensed and flexed as he growled up at the murderous bastard, had my pussy clenching.
