Chapter 146 : A Dark Future

Though my body weakened, I felt something stirring in my mind. Images exploded through my consciousness, reeling behind my eyes like a movie.

Images of Hestia’s future played like a horror movie.

I saw the return of Dark King Lycaon and his ascension to the throne in the Dark Realm.

“No,” I whispered, my strength fading faster.

Hestia cackled in my ear. I didn’t have the strength to push her back.

“Oh, yes. This is the future that will happen. The Dark King will rise again, and that’s not even the best part.”

“The Dark King has been dead for thousands of years. He can’t come back!”

“He will. I’ve seen it. Even Mila has seen it. And you haven’t even heard the best part.”

I shook my head. What more could she have to say? I didn’t want to know the rest. I wanted to go back to the Dark Realm and stop this from happening.

“You see, your child will become Lycaon’s heir and will carry on his legacy.”

“NO!” I cried.

“They will set all things right, including the destruction of the Light Realm.” Hestia laughed wickedly.

“I will never let that happen!” I roared.

My wolf growled and overtook me. I didn’t even resist. I shifted and broke free from Hestia’s grasp. My wolf leaped on her before she could react.

Her piercing screams filled the jungle as we tore at her skin, clawing her to shreds, biting at her again and again until the wails stopped and she lay in a shredded heap of blood on the ground.

I stepped back, blood soaking the fur around my mouth and my paws.

Hestia was dead.

But I knew it wasn’t over.

My wolf and I paced back and forth in the clearing in front of the cave. Snarling and snorting, I was determined to come up with a way to stop Hestia’s visions from coming true.

Huffing and puffing, we thought about everything she said–about Lycaon’s resurrection and the role my child would play.

I refused to believe it.

“Jared… oh my Goddess….” Xander ran into the clearing and slid to a halt. He stared at Hestia and then looked at me. “What happened?”

I growled and kept pacing back and forth on my wet paws. I shook myself from head to toe; the anxiety over what was to come was too much for me.

“It’s okay, Jared. She deserved it. Come back and talk to me now. I need to know what happened. George found me… he said that you let Hestia suck the life out of you.”

I snarked and shook my head again.

Xander sighed and bowed his head. He knelt on the ground in a submissive position.

“Jared, you can’t hide behind your wolf forever. You need to talk to me. Whatever Hestia told you… if you don’t tell me, there’s no way I can help you stop it. I can’t help you protect Eliza and your child.”

I snarled when I heard Eliza’s name, but the truth about my child was too much to bear.

With a whine, my wolf conceded and I shifted back.

Sighing, I dropped to my hands and knees, too weak to hold myself up.

Xander ran over and gave me a spare pair of clothes. Slowly, sluggishly, I pulled them on.

“Damn, she did a number on you.” Xander grabbed my chin and lifted my head.

His eyes were filled with concern as he looked me over. I’d never had anyone in my family give any indication that they cared about me like that.

“I’ll be fine. I just need to regain my strength. A hot meal, a good night’s sleep–”

Though my body weokened, I felt something stirring in my mind. Imoges exploded through my consciousness, reeling behind my eyes like o movie.

Imoges of Hestio’s future ployed like o horror movie.

I sow the return of Dork King Lycoon ond his oscension to the throne in the Dork Reolm.

“No,” I whispered, my strength foding foster.

Hestio cockled in my eor. I didn’t hove the strength to push her bock.

“Oh, yes. This is the future thot will hoppen. The Dork King will rise ogoin, ond thot’s not even the best port.”

“The Dork King hos been deod for thousonds of yeors. He con’t come bock!”

“He will. I’ve seen it. Even Milo hos seen it. And you hoven’t even heord the best port.”
