The Last Royal Luna

The room was bigger than I thought and fuller than I had sensed. Now that the doors were open I could sense dark magic, which meant we would be fighting at least two black witches and they felt strong, maybe stronger than my mom and Mel. That was a little worrisome, but hopefully, after taking the slaves out of the way we can put our sole focus on taking out the witches.

“Well, I was wondering how long it would take you to make it up to us.” The fake Queen smirked from her throne that was behind a row of warriors and a few rows of slaves. “I am do disappointed it took this long.”

“Me, too my Queen. Must mean she won’t be hard to kill.” The vampire King growled and showed his fangs.

I just couldn’t take how they were talking or the air of being so high and mighty, so I lost it. I just started laughing. I laughed so hard I had to hold my stomach.

“b***h!” The witch Queen screamed. “Kill them!”

Several of the slaves screamed no and took up a protective position on the ground probably praying that we either didn’t kill them or if we did, we make it swift. I eyed the room looking for the best way to the Queen before she tried to get out of here alive.

‘The king is ours!’ Asher growled out in our mate link. The others agreed so I just nodded. They trusted me enough to take on the queen alone, so I needed to trust them to take out a few warriors and the vampire king.

“Ryder, Alistair and Tyler will be going with us toward the Queen so we can help clear your way. The rest of them will wade in and save the slaves we can before taking on any and all warriors.” Melissa yelled beside me grabbing my mom’s arm and yanking her sideways to avoid a spell blast. “Ok, mother of my bestie, lets kick some a*s.”

Everyone followed orders and split up. Mom and Mel cleared the way between spells and Mel just shoving a few of the slaves out of the way before they ran us over. Several had already ran out of here but a couple started fighting us even as we told them they were safe. I kept my eyes on the Queen watching as she yelled at two powerful witches behind her. I couldn’t hear what she was saying but I knew she was freaking out. Good.

“I know of a witch b***h queen,” I sang out as I got within hearing distance. “She likes to think she is the s**t but really she is the pits.”

“I am going to kill you!” She screamed. She took a step toward me but the king stopped her.

“I think id like a piece of her, my Queen. She has so many mates already. What is taking one more to bed with her?” He smirked. “I could bleed her dry like she would me.”

“Gag me with a freaking spoon. No one wants to work that hard to make you come alive.” I laughed at my joke.

“Ryder, focus.” Mom whispered, but she was holding back her own laughter.

“Sorry. I will get back to my song. Where was I?” I pretended to think as a slave ran into me pleading for me to help them. I just held them letting my wolf calm theirs as the next lyrics came to mind. “Your claim to fame is fake your true calling is a snake. Your brain is the size of a peanut and your about to get cut!”

I laughed, pushed my power out and around the slave I was handing off to one of my allies, and used the flowers in her grown to cut into her scalp. She screamed and ripped it off. The king took a second to sniff out the b***d before turning to me and hissing. That is when I knew she was dying and by the look on his face he had known it for a while. I guess being as old as dirt was bad for the human body.

“You know you are dying. That is why you stole the twins!” My mother shouted in anger. She must have figured out something we hadn’t. “You don’t plan on using them as a marriage tool. You want them as a way to keep you young and alive. You are going to try to steal their powers and their life power.”

“What?!” Blue roared shoving forward. A warrior leapt at us but Blue broke his neck and threw him behind us without moving her gaze from the Queen’s pissed off wrinkly mug. “You are dead dead now.”

I heard the guys yell at the King and were on him in a second. The fighting noises and the screams of pain faded into the background as I focused everything on the Queen. I felt a blast of heat from a fire ball one of the witches had thrown but they were being taken care of my Mel and my mom. No more witches, just a good old hand to hand combat as I rip that b***h’s hair out.

I took off running and launched toward her letting Blue take control and shift us. We landed in front of her growling, our fangs aching to bite into her flesh. Blue felt bigger, more powerful, more vengeful than before. I didn’t have time to focus on that so I filed it back for later and pulled my power into my chest.

She struck out at us before trying to use a spell, but Blue didn’t let that happen. She lunged forward knocking her on her a*s beside us. We circled her waiting for her to get up. Blue wouldn’t let this b***h get off easy or painlessly. She tried to stumble up but Blue bit into her calf tearing off a chunk of muscle and skin.

The witch cried out in pain and threw a blue ball of power at us. Blue dodged to the left barely missing it. I focused on her b***d, bringing it to a nice simmer letting her flesh turn a bright red as she screamed in agony.

“My Queen!” The King hissed out trying to get over to us but my mates grabbed his arms and pushed him to the floor. Edgar and Asher had shifted waiting for their chance to take him apart. This was their chance, and they took it.

I pulled my power back and shifted back. ‘Get our families locations before you kill him.’ I linked the guys.

“Ok, Queen. Tell me where my family is or I’ll bring your b***d to a boil next time.” I growled, moving to straddle her. I held her arms down and stared into her soulless black eyes.

“Tell us where our kids are you filthy lying piece of s**t!” Melissa yelled as she and my mother joined us. They had taken care of the witches faster than I thought they had, but children are often a big push to do things faster and more efficiently when needed.

Fake queen, whose name won’t be spoken by me, laughed and spit up b***d. “Never. They are probably dead anyway.”

I lost control. I lost control of myself, of Blue, and of my powers. I shoved my powers at her so hard her body instantly combusted from the heat in her b***d. We were all covered in her b***d and the only thing I could do was howl. Howl in pain. Howl in frustration. Howl in rage that I couldn’t kill that b***h again.

‘Tell me he talked.’ I linked the guys without looking at them. I was trying to calm down and looking at them would be worse.

‘Oh he did right before we split him five different ways.’ Edgar linked back.

I turned and ran to them. I jumped into Andrew’s arms, kissing his face and neck. I sucked in his scent to help calm Blue before demanding to know where they were.

“Let’s go.” Asher replied and led the way out the door. All the fighting had ended, and we didn’t lose anyone. Thank the lord. Now I could just focus on my babies being back in my arms.
