Fated is overrated

Drake POV

She then starts attacking the dragons with her powers. Waving her hand in a brushing off motion, several dragons are sent flying into the walls of the dome. She then clenches her hand, like she is trying to wring something out. I hear another few dragons coughing and gasping for air, before they drop to the ground lifelessly.

Only 6 dragons remain, of which one I now see is Lucian, the man she was mated to. That f*cking prick! Lola moves Lucian aside from the other dragons with a twist of the wrists, before pushing her hands forward with her palms open. An ice blizzard shoots from her hand and crashes into the 5 remaining dragons beside Lucian.

"Saving the best for last, MATE" Lola spits at him, before twisting her hands and dropping him from the sky. "Bow for me b*tch" she bellows. The dragon roars and huffs in anger, but it is being restrained by invisible forces.

He shifts back to his human form, whether willingly or not, I am unsure. With a twist of the wrist, Lucian is kneeling before her, against his own will.

"You... F*cking... Mongrel!!" he squeezes out. His words are laced with pure unadulterated hate, and I can't help but wonder what my daughter has ever done to deserve this.

"You f*cking prick!!! How DARE you speak to her like that. And to think she is your mate!!!" Damon yells. He seems to be as seething as I am. "She.. Is not..

My mate!!!" he grits out, and Damon and I both roar in return. "Good, that will make this a lot easier" Lola retorts calmly, with a dangerous glint in her eyes. She lets Justice take control and shifts. Justice is towering over Lucian, huffing and puffing as dragons do when they are angry.

She doesn't strike however, she is just starting intently and breathing hard, as if this is causing her a great deal of agony. And I am sure it does. All of a sudden, I see the unmistakable black Lycans with golden paws of Zeke and Zane standing right beside Justice. How the hell did they do that? I somehow completely forgot that I had seen them do this yesterday, and I had been meaning to ask them. Justice looks over at the Lycans, huffing and puffing some more, but they don't seem too afraid of her. They should be, though. They crouch down to the ground in surrender, which Justice seems to appreciate as she stops the huffing.

They slowly get back up, and she bends down to be eye level with the Lycans. They nuzzle their snouts against hers while purring. The sight of it is something else. I know that sounds weird, as my mate was a Lycan too, but it's different to watch someone else do it. Especially your daughter. As they nudge Justice, she seems to be momentarily distracted and the dome, as well as her hold on Lucian seem to have disappeared.

"LOLA WATCH.." but before I can finish, Lucian has shifted back to his dragon. Within the blink of an eye his tail has lashed out and blood is splattering everywhere. I search Justice's body frantically for any signs of blood, but to my great relief, I see nothing. Justice lets out the most ear piercing roar I have ever heard from a dragon, right before Zeke falls limp to the ground, covered in blood. Within a split second Justice has her tail wrapped around the dragon's throat, squeezing the air from his lungs. The dragon is thrashing his tail around frantically, before Justice plunges her fangs into his body and he falls to the ground, shifting back to his human form.

I am unsure whether he is dead or just unconscious, but I have no time to dwell on that now. I rush towards my daughter, as do a lot of our warriors, but she lets out another blazing roar in warning for us all not to come any closer. I guess Justice has accepted the Lycans as her mates, and as one of them is down, her instincts to protect are kicking in.

I am not sure whether Zeke or Zane is down, but the other Lycan is whimpering and nudging his unmoving brother, the sight of it is heartbreaking. "Lola, Justice, please, you have to let us help" I plead with her, but her nostrils are still flaring in warning. She shifts back and I hear her speak to the other Lycan "teleport him to your hospital, now".

The Lycan is looking conflicted between Lucian and the remaining vampires who are closing in again, and his fallen brother, as if unsure whether or not he should be going. "NOW ZANE!" Lola yells, causing him to whimper, before nudging his brother and them both disappearing into thin air.

As we start approaching her again, there is another dome placed around her, Lucian and the remaining vampires. She is shaking violently, and the earlier bright white light emanating from her is replaced by a pitch black one.

Dark clouds start to form in the sky and thunder is booming loudly through the air, as her black aura keeps growing, almost as if it were charging. The sight is eerily similar to when she lost Nick, and I am pretty sure Lucian is going to die a gruesome death.

'Dad, get everyone outside of the dome back to the castle' she resonates in my head with a cracking voice. I know she wasn't on the best terms with them yet, but they seemed to be making amends. So, losing another person she cares about (whether she likes to admit it or not) must be devastating.

'Honey I will get everyone else out, but please let me in, I want to be here for you and help you'. 'Dad, I am losing control, fast. Please leave. It would kill me if I hurt you by accident.

Please!' she pleads, and I can hear the complete despair in her voice. I hate to leave my baby girl like this, what if she ends up hurting herself in the process? 'Honey please let...'

I try to reason with her, but she cuts me off mid-sentence. 'DAD! GO!' I watch her shake violently, as the darkness around her continues to spread further and further, almost reaching the remaining enemies.

Although most of the vampires are watching in pure horror and are even paler than they are normally, a handful of bold vampires are charging at her, probably thinking she is agony now and hoping to take advantage of her weakened state.

'LOLA WATCH OUT!' I call out to her, but something tells me she was already aware of their charge. She turns her head towards me, the sight of which will haunt my dreams forever I'm sure.

She looks unhinged, possessed even, as her lifeless pitch-black eyes stare deep into my soul. "NOW!!!!" She shrieks in an unrecognizable voice, and I find myself backing up slowly at the sight of it. The last I see is the charging vampires disappearing into the black fog like aura, before Damon and some of our warriors take a strong hold of me and drag me back to the castle. I don't want to lose my baby girl.
