Chapter 69

I hurried down to the sitting room and, for real, Dorian was standing there waiting for me. Seeing him made me so happy. At first, I had disbelief. This was the last thing I expected, but I guess Dorian had heard what was going on and decided to rescue his father from me.
"Dorian, you are back finally?" I smirked, and he nodded with a yelp, looking around the whole building.

"Where is my father?" He asked, still looking around.

"Your father? ... Oh, you mean the Alpha? ...he is in the dungeon;" I replied with a short laugh, his brow furrowed.

"Do you get my word?... I asked about the Alpha and not Elena, and what are these demons doing here?" He asked innocently, making me wonder if he knew all that had happened.

"Where had you been? ...you ran away from the battle, then why come back? " When I asked, he scoffed and walked over to the couch to sit.

"Don't sit there, there's no need to rest or feel sorry for him because you're going to die tomorrow!"I stated bluntly, making him turn sharply towards me.

"What did you say?" He asked with a raised brow.

"You heard me right. I am so happy you returned. It is a brave act. Dying with your family never other than running away into bidding is heroic." I laughed, walking closer to him.

"Elf, what are you saying? ...what the hell is going on? Was Elena correct when she said you were a demon? All these demons around the Royal House, are they your colleagues? ... Elf! " He called out in shock, making me laugh.

I don't have time to explain anything. I'm a demon, a head demon, more powerful than anything you can think of, and fighting me will end up breaking all your bones. I'm here to avenge what Lillian did to me. I paused and grabbed his collar while he tried to release himself.

With full force, I pushed him to the wall so hard that his head bled at the slam.

I owe no one an explanation. Listen, I am not your mother, nor am I Darren's mate. I came here for one thing, and that is to wipe you all out. I'm a winner already. You just showed up and will be dying with them, so get ready!" I croaked.

"When did you turn into a demon because the woman I knew couldn't hurt a fly?" He breathed, getting me pissed up.

"Beat him up!" I commanded the demons around me.

"After that, tie him up and keep him right beside his father. They should both see how useless they are, like father like son," I said, laughing more, hardly walking away to my room. I should get enough rest for tomorrow, a day when I'll wipe out one of the greatest packs.

It would surely be adventurous.

Darren's POV

I was about to shut my eyes to sleep when the door opened only for me to look up and see my only son, who I hoped was being dragged in after being thoroughly beaten,

It was like my heart was shattered by a heavy metallic object. I felt exhausted. It was over for real. It was surely going to happen.

After so many years, For real, the Silver Moon Pack is ending shamefully...

Hot tears covered my eyes, making my vision blurred. He was tied just the same way as me. How did they find him?

Just then, he looked up at me, and I heard his weak voice inside me as he mind-linked.

"Dad, there is the hope of a survivor," he mumbled, making me arch my brow. It was clear that all hope was gone; it was already night, and she would begin the killing the next day. No neighboring pack joins forces with any pack fighting demons...

"Stop giving me silly hopes. How did they find you?" I don't mind linking back to him, feeling very weak at it since I've got no or fewer powers.

"I gave myself to them," he said, and my eyes widened.

"What the hell!!!" I huffed, but seeing him smile made me calm down as I wondered what his plan was.

"Tell me why you did it, because I don't know my son as being foolish. There must be a reason." I breathed deeply.

I sneered at him. "I'll go into a fight with Elf tomorrow, one on one. If I win, she will proceed to kill the whole pack and me too. If I win, then she won't kill anyone but go back to the demon clan with her legions of demons," he said, and I sneered at him.

I had to check if he was in his right senses; maybe he was drugged.

"Are you drugged or partly insane?" ... How on Earth is this a good plan? "Elf will kill you and your wolf in one second. It would be more shameful. Didn't you think of something else? This is a foolish act!" I growled.

"That's why I chose it. She would then accept, and then Elena would get the chance to be released. Her mind would be away from her, giving the dragon woman the chance to open that door." He muttered, leaving me confused.

"Dragon lady?"... Who is the Dragon Lady? I asked, but he shrugged and grunted.

"I need to sleep and bear these pains for tomorrow. I don't know if I'll survive before she is able to save Elena and Jason, but then, I'll gladly die if that is the only way Elena and Jason will be free and fight Elf for us." He exhaled, dozing off...

I shut my eyes and gritted my teeth. I'm confused about who the dragon woman is and her ability to open the door, but I only pray for it to work out. Elf would be destroyed if Elena could just come out with her lover, Jason.

King Bane's POV..

I lay on my bed facing the ceiling, tracing every single line there with my eyes as I drowned in deep thought. I kept thinking of what Lillian felt about me.

Like, all those times we shared those sweet and romantic moments, she didn't love me or what?

The very fact that she did not want me to know where she was so much that she took the maiden away, the very fact that she was alive was ripping my heart off. I had once thought she was dead, and now knowing she is alive and doesn't want to see me was something that made me feel like crying...

Just then, a knock was heard on the door.

"Come in!" I sighed without caring to see who was at the door.

Another message from the Silver Moon Pack "They cancelled the invitation," my messenger said, and handed the letter to me.

I opened it and frowned at what I saw there.

It just said Darren was joking, and that is something I don't believe. Something is wrong. I would have waved it off without much care if it wasn't related to my hybrid power.

Do you know what it means that someone has got the same hybrid powers as me? I badly need to check on him. Who knows? He might be related to my Lillian and the child I found.

I said, "I will be going there, but it won't be tomorrow. The next day after tomorrow, we will go to the Silver Moon Pack in disguise. I need to find out who that guy is by myself since Darren wants to keep it secret." I bellowed and he bowed.

But, you don't have to stress yourself. I can go and spy there. I can arrange for other dragon men to do it. We will give you whatever information we get." he suggested, and I breathed.

"Don't mind, I need to leave here and find out so many things. Who knows, I might find Lillian. "I sighed, covering the duvet over my face. I heard his footsteps as he walked away. Once again, the room became gloomy and lonely.

I can recall that night, right here on this bed, Lillian lay with me...

Oh, God.

Lillian, where are you? What is my crime?
