Chapter Two Hundred and Fifty

EARLIER

Bailey was still in here somewhere. I walked cautiously down the passage ways and I spotted yet another room. I pushed open the door and walked in. The room was similar to the one I had been kept in earlier, but she wasn’t in here either.

I needed a weapon; the sword alone wouldn’t do to kill an elder as powerful as she was so I searched through the room. I pulled open a cabinet, and there I found more syringes filled with black serum, the very same ones used on Thane. I was almost certain of it. I would have to take a gamble with this. From what Bailey told me, this was created by the elders as a bane for Lycans, I could only hope it had some effect on her too, if it didn’t work on her, then I was doomed.

I strode out of the room, and there she was, standing at the very end of the passageway.

“So you’ve come to kill me.” Bailey said with a smile on her face. “You know, Nyaos has been killed by your mate” She said to me.

I couldn’t exactly say I felt bad for that.

I chose to remain silent, even as she walked towards me. “You are a fool for toming all alone. Drop the sword, Riley.”

I held onto the sword, fighting the urge. She watched me, amusement in her eyes, and then she drew nearer, close enough.

“I said drop it.”

I finally let go of the sword, but in the same moment, I stabbed the syringe into her neck. She groaned, pulling it out, but the serum had already mixed with her blood.

It didn’t work.

That’s what I thought till she fell to the floor, letting out a cry of pain. I picked up my sword, aiming to decapitate her head, but she caught the sword midway; the sharp blades tore into her palm, but she held on. Slowly she rose to her feét.

There was a gunshot, and we both stood still.

I hadn’t been the one shot.

Bailey opened her mouth to say something, but only blood poured out of her mouth. Axel shot at her again, and she fell to her knees.

“What? No more smiles and quirky comments?” questioned. A single tear dropped down her

eyes.

Axel finally met up with us; he dropped to Baileys level to hold her firm.

“Riley now.” He whispered, and with the sword severed her head from her body. Blood sprayed on my clothes and my face.

“She’s dead.” I said to him,
