The Sovereign Heir (Book 1)

I watch as Elaina shields her friends, suddenly she is gone and so are they. I am panicking but I have to keep my head in the game. I know she is safe wherever she might be. Another archer takes the place of the one Elaina had killed. Orbing with her is so much easier than completely doing it alone. I have no choice, those arrows are tainted, killing any of us instantly. I orb behind the new archer, tearing into their throat with my canines. The screeching of car tires gets my attention as I look down to see my 911 drifting, knocking Allister’s henchmen down like dominos. No! she couldn’t have? Fuck me! Yes she did!

Elaina’s POV

Yana just fits her fluffy body into the car, barking off orders at us, “What are you three standing there for? Get the hell in. Times a wasting.” Lennox and Michelle get into the back as I start the ignition. To add more shock to the already hectic situation ‘Get Out the Way’ blares through the speakers. We all look at each other in utter shock, surprised he would even have this in his musical rotation.

I reverse out hard putting it back in gear and orb us back to the fight. Yana orbs out first as we land back in the middle of the building. I pull up the emergency brake drifting into Allister’s foot soldiers, “Michelle, take the wheel on two! One and two!” I orb out with Lennox on the roof of the car. He takes aim with his infinity bow and I have my blade tipped whip in hand. ”You good?” Lennox gives me a nod and I orb to the portal. Bracing my hands on both sides, an orc comes barreling towards it from the other side when I heard his sinister voice, “Do not dare touch her you imbecile!” It is none other than Tristian or should I say the fake Tristian smiling at me from the other side. “We finally meet, Elaina.”

“Yeah, well this will be a hell of a goodbye.” I let out what could be described as a mini IED blast, my inner chi, the power of life and death. Sending a pulse out through the portal, causing it to collapse on itself and some destruction on the other side. Yana has shifted and is destroying all that remained on their side of the building with everyone else. Nolan is looking down at me, happy to see me but not too happy about his Porsche. I will buy him a new one once this is over.

I dart in between the ones left on my side of the compound that made it through the portal before I closed it; slashing as I went. A few are left twitching on the brink of death, our team only has minor injuries. My mother stands in disbelief, “How did they have this many soldiers left? This can’t be possible!”

“There were more ready on the other side of the portal. Not all of them were recruited, some were created just for this purpose. Groomed to be soldiers, just like we all were. There have been a vast network of them we have encountered over the past three months.” My mother swallows finding it hard to grasp the concept they used our tactics against us. Nolan comes up behind me squeezing me tight. “Don’t ever scare me like that again. I’m just glad you’re safe.”

“Sweetheart, can you lift the command on these two so we can bring them back.” I stroll over to where my mother stands. “You two can move.” As soon as I did Evil-Lynn starts to run her mouth. “I am the daughter of one of the Lycan council, how dare you think you can put me in some dingy pack prison!”

This bitch still didn’t know her place. My voice becomes husky as I respond before my mother could, back handing Evil-Lynn, “You shut your fucking mouth. You have no power here and disrespect to the Empress will not go unpunished!” She tries to say something else, before she could get one syllable out, I throat punch her and kick her in the gut. Evil-Lynn and Ashton fly backwards contorted together. “Yana, please escort Uncle Reggie and his scout team to the realm.”

Yana stalks over, still shifted. She looks menacing as a griffon causing these two idiots to shrink away. Uncle Reggie slaps two energy pulse collars on them to keep Ashton and Evelyn docile for transport.

Nolan’s mother is assisting with field dressings along with my godfather. A whoosh catches my ear, turning my head I see the ripple of an attempt to open a portal. I walk slowly over, seeing it again until it finally opens with an arrow traveling through, it is aimed at Ken’s back. I orb directly in front taking the impact. Blood enters my mouth as time froze. I can hear everyone yelling. As I look down the arrow pierced my left breast. The arrow head partially through my left ventricle.

They start barreling through the portal again, “Brie, take them out of here now!” My team is still trying to fight them off. Nolan fighting his way to get to me, “Please, Aunt Brie, do it!” The Persea ash is running through my body rapidly. Brie starts to chant, Ken puts his hand on my shoulder attempting to yank me back. I spin facing him, “You need to go, you can’t save me. I was always meant to save you.“

My legion is resisting Brie’s magic, I scream out, “Murus”. I erect a crystalline wall, focusing a vacuum suction to force everyone to be sucked through the portal . Yana roars, beating her wings as she tries to form resistance for Nolan to get to me. “Brie, now!” Everyone is gone and now it is time for it to end.

Command Center

“Brigitte, send us back now! She needs us.” I look at everyone, “I cannot she will not allow it. Elaina is too powerful for me to counteract her magic. You can all try and will just be thrown back here.”

“Bullshit! We are going to orb back!” They all bounce back as I knew they would, except for Nolan and Yana. “Where is my son? Where is the griffon?” Angelica is frantic, Delilah is hysterical , everyone frantic wanting to get to Elaina, half of them crying.“ Titus walks up to me as Bryce tries to comfort me. “What aren’t you telling us?”

“The spirits said to do whatever she asked without question.”

“What type of fucking answer is that?” Bryce begins to growl, “Don’t you dare talk to my mate like that, no matter how mad you are. We all want to get Elaina but not even you can push past her block.”

Bryce is right, no one knew just how powerful she truly is. Even injured she is frightfully powerful. Regardless of how bad this looks the ancestors keep saying this is the way to all our salvation. I know they don’t want to hear it, but this small amount of darkness will be consumed by light stronger than a super nova.
