Chapter 256

Ella’s POV

“Zagreus?!” My mother gasped, furrowing her brows together as she

stared at Hazel. The disbelief on her face made it obvious that she knew this was very bad.

“You know who he is?” I asked, eyeing her carefully.

She was quiet for a moment as she processed this information.

“I know of him,” she answered. “As does your father. Does he know that Zagreus has surfaced?”

“I haven’t seen him,” I answered. “So… no.”

“Have you met him before?” Colton asked, also eyeing my mother.

“We’ve only heard rumors of him in the past,” she answered. “We know she has summoned him in the past and the two of them have caused havoc.”

“How was he defeated?” I asked.

“He wasn’t,” Hazel was the one who answered this time. “He helped Jazzy take over an entire coven and she no longer needed him. She let him go back to wherever he came from.”

“I don’t understand…” Diana breathed. “Why would she summon such at demon again?”

My mother’s eyes found mine and held them momentarily before responding.

“She’s after something,” my mother said, gravely. “And I fear it has to do with our kind.”

“It’s likely,” Hazel agreed. “She doesn’t like Volana wolves.”

“Why now?” Diana asked, furrowing her brows together. “Why is she taking action now? After all these years?”

“Something must have happened,” my mother said, shaking her head. “I’m not sure what that could have been though. But it can’t be good…” “We shouldn’t be here,” Colton finally spoke after what felt like a long while. “If she’s after Volana’s then this village is no longer safe. A shield is not going to keep darkness away.”
