His Lost Lycan Luna (Jessica Hall)
Chapter 234

His found Lycan Luna Chapter 109Kyson POVOnce his heart stopped beating and he lay dead on the rack, I cleaned my hands and most of myface to not scare any of the staff or the children too severely while trying to figure out our nextmove. I would also have to sendake sure no hunters or council are, in fact, here as Tanner claimed. Gannon and Liam were preppingto dismember the rest of Tanner, so he could be thrown in the furnace for disposal. I headed to thestairs when everything shook violently above me. The ground rumbling knocked me off balance.Smoke and dust filled the air making it difficult to breathe and see, and my lungs were restricted as Itried to right myself.My ears finally stopped ringing as I got to my feet in fear for Azalea. I could barely make outGannon and Liam through the haze, and the noise coming from upstairs was horrendous. Lookingthrough the smoke and crushed rock, I see Liam and Gannon. They were banged up a bit butthankfully alive. I pivoted and sprinted for the stairs when searing pain ripped through my side. Thehunters! They were in the tunnels leading past the dungeon. Rage overtook me as I shifted. Myvision became consumed with red as the insignia became visible a few yards away.They have taken enough from me, Azalea, and everyone in this Kingdom! Made orphans andrefugees from their sick agenda. I could see Gannon and Liam shift in my peripheral vision. Theywould not take any more lives while I still stood. We were in rhythm, eviscerating the lot of them.Not one heartbeat remained in my keen hearing other than my own and theirs as I listened forfootsteps while screaming orders through the mind-link for the staff and Azalea to get to thetunnels or bunkers.I told Gannon and Liam to go protect Azalea and the others, not that they had a choice with thepact oath. It would be natural instinct to them, leaving me to check the tunnels. I stalked throughthe back tunnels making sure there weren“t any hunters left hiding.I got no reply from Azalea, yet I could feel she was alive, although panicked. Trey, I knew, was tryingto get her andgiving me a run-down of what was going on above while I scoured the tunnels, ripping the wiresfrom bombs planted beneath the castle everywhere.The ceiling above exploding sent rocks and debris crashing down on me as I hit a fork in thetunnels. I turned to my left, wanting to take the tunnel that came out by the river, when the tunnelstarted exploding, I was forced to run in the opposite direction toward the tunnels leading to thestables and forest.I was nearly at the opening directly beneath the burned-down stables and could hear fightingabove as I drew nearer, echoing through the tunnel. Over the noise, I barely catch the whizzingnoise that perked my ears all too late. Burning pain crumpled me to the floor.A dart embedded in my torso. As another hit the center of my chest as my knees hit the ground. Iyanked it out, the stench of wolfbane entering my nose. I lifted my head and snarled, looking for theperson responsible through the thick smoke.There wasn't enough wolfsbane to kill me, but enough to slow me down, and too many wouldknock me out. Getting to my feet, my hand on the stone wall helps push me up, and I stagger as thewolfsbane poisons me.I was trying to burn it out of my system as a voice I despised echoed in front of me. Ester!“You just had to take that whore as your mate! I would have forgotten Crux’s plan altogether, butno, you had to choose that whore. I should have been your Queen, not her.” she snarls, holding thedart gun up aimed at my chest.“I was willing to forget Crux's deal, but then, like a fucking ghost of the past, that bitch returns! Ishould have killed her when I had the chance, should have killed her that night in the forest whenwe found them!" Ester snarls beforepulling the trigger. I throw myself against the other side.The dart narrowly misses me as it hits the ground behind me, just as another explosion goes offabove. The entire tunnel shakes and I see her eyes widen when she realizes it is about to crumbledown around us. With a arowl. I take off the way I came, knowing there is another tunnel that leadsto the forest on the opposite side.Ester roars behind me, and I hear her following me as she continues her rant. Luckily, the dust andsmoke offered some cover. I knew I wouldn't get close enough to her while she held that gun. Thewolfsbane was searing in my veins, and I was growing weaker by the second. I cringe, and duck asanother explosion goes off in another tunnel.“I got her! I found the Queen!” Trey yells through the mind-link as I push past the collapsed tunneland turn for another. It should spit me out into the forest beside the bunkers. The tinging sound ofEster unleashing a dart with her gun whizzes past my head.I just needed to get out to the open, knowing I could take her out. In these narrow tunnels, she hadthe advantage of being not only smaller but also the gun, ensuring that I would be forced to keepmy distance. One more dart and she would take me out, and she knew that. That is why she kepther taunting as I forced my feet to keep moving.“Marrissa told me Azalea was dead. Stupidly, I believed her. Had i known she was alive, I would havefinished her off too. Her father ruined me, used me!” she screams as I try to keep moving. I justneeded to burn it out of my system. If I stopped, I knew I wouldn’t get back up. What was in thosedarts? I cursed, my legs faltering as my pace slowed.“I thought he loved me!” She laughs like a maniac. I could hear her drawing closer.“Turns out he was fooling around with me to piss off my brother. What better way to get back at hiswife's mate than to fuck his sister? Then he tried to destroy me and take my baby from me. I kepthim thinking maybe Garret would change his mind once he was born. How was I supposed to knowhe wouldn't inherit the Landeena gifts? And he shunned me again, but I made him pay for thatmistake. Crux was right. Garret Landeena was nothing but a manipulative prick!” I hear her.Seeing the light up ahead, I feel another dart skim past me, the feathers grazing my arm as itnarrowly misses me.The sounds of panicked servants reach my ears, and relief floods me, knowing they got out andwere near the bunkers to take cover, so I knew Azalea must be close by. I just had to get to her.Seeing the narrow opening up ahead, I push harder, forcing myself to run, and I drop my shoulder.This one came out on the mountainside, with a wire gate blocking the entry. I see kids rush past theexit headed for the bunker with the castle servants, and my shoulder crashes against the mesh,making them jump just as Peter runs by meI crash through the mesh just as she growls and tosses the now empty dart gun at me. It hits me onthe downfall as I burst through the meshed gate and spill out onto the mountainside. My body rollsas my momentum is off, and I slam against a tree.Ester growls, stepping out of the open tunnel, and stalking toward me. Yet the wolfsbane in mysystem burned my veins like acid and scorched my insides as it made its way through muscle andtissue.Igroan, pushing up off the ground with one hand, knowing I had to get to Azalea and end this bitch.My vision blurs as she stalks toward me, and I force myself up, swaying as I clutch the tree I rolledinto. Staggering, I swing wildly at her, and she laughs, jumping back as my vision doubles. Yet Icould feel it was slowly and painfully burning out of my system. Whatever she gave me was strongerthan just wolfsbane. However, the more I pushed through the pain, the toxins burned out slowly. Mymuscles no longer spasmed the way they had been, though my vision was dangerously blurry.“I thought I enjoyed killing Claire, but I think I will enjoy killing the Lycan King more,” Ester laughswhen I see a shadow move behind her. My eyes flick back to her, Yet as she flexes her fingers, herclaws slip free, and she raisesher arm to end me. My reflexes are slower yet still, my hand whips out at the last second, catchingher wrist, when I hear a scream.Ester tenses and staggers, forcing me to let her go as she stumbles toward me onto one knee. Onlywhen I do do notice Peter behind her, a branch in his hand. He lifts it, swinging it again at her headbefore turning into a frenzied rage and raining blow after blow down on her as I get to my feetagain.“I loved you! I loved you, but you couldn't love me!” he roared, repeatedly swinging the branch ather head.Tears streaked down his face as he bashed her head in, crushing her skull into the earth. Brainmatter spilled out her ears and through the back of her skull as it cracked open like an egg. Yet hestill swung, the branch breaking in his hands when I grabbed him, hauling him back with my armacross his chest.He screams, brandishing the broken branch, and I look down at Ester. Her head was crushed underhis blows and no longer distinguishable to the eye. “Where is Azalea?” I gasp, and Peter looks up atme over his shoulder.“With the others, I will take you,” He tells me as he points toward the castle, and he runs aheadwhile I stagger, trying to keep up with him. I could hear fighting and the chaos of war.Peter runs up the incline as more children rush down the hill with staff. I see Clarice standing at thetop when she suddenly screams, making my heart splutter in my chest, and adrenaline fuels me tomove faster.I slip on the wet grass, coming up behind her to see Azalea stop, and Trey screams out for her at theexact second. I tracked her movements to see her go after Logan, who was walking into the line offire and in the wrong direction. My eyes widen in horror, and my heart pumps erratically.A gasp escapes me when I see Azalea run directly into the path of the hunters to retrieve him. It feltlike everything slowed down, time almost stopping for a few fateful moments. Or maybe I thought itdid as I watched my mate risk her life to save the boy.Trey shoves Tyson into Clarice’s arms and runs after her just as I regain my footing on the slipperyslope when Abbie screams out to her. Azalea lifts her head and looks at Abbie just as Abbie’s bodycollides with Azalea’s, her arms locking around her in a hug, and she pivots. At that second, Inoticed the hunter with his gun aimed directly at her.The bang of the gun going off echoed, and my heart stopped in my chest when I watched Abbie joltin Azalea’s arms.“More than my life,” Abbie rasps out, the whisper catching on the wind and reaching me just asAzalea’s visceral, agonized scream does. “Abbie! No!”The sound was so broken, soul-crushing and gut-wrenching as her agony sliced through my chestlike her scream cut through the wind, silencing everyone briefly as they looked in her direction.Azalea's pain for her loss broke my heart as I felt hers incinerate in her chest.I stumble down the hill toward her as she wails and cries out for Abbie, clutching her tightly. Azaleahung on to her, trying to hold her limp body as Abbie collapsed forward against her, Logan trappedbetween them,Gannon's how! had me lifting my head to see him tearing across the paddock and barreling towardAzalea. Tyson screams for his mother, kicking and screaming in Clarice’s arms, making her drop him.Clarice chases him just as Trey tackles the hunter, who lifts his gun and points it at Azalea."Abbie! Abbie!” Azalea wailed and screamed, trying to wake her as she shook her, clutching hertightly.Hunters laid strewn across the ground, most of them dead as my guards and the Landeena guardstook out the last of them on the hill, yet I could see more were coming up from the river and fromaround the sides of the castle. We were severely outnumbered and all I could think was I needed toget to Azalea, yet she was moving, and wasn't letting her go, she just stopped as if a part of herdied along with Abbie.Logan escapes from in between Azalea and Abbie, running to Clarice as Azalea rocked back andforth on the ground with Abbie clutched in her arms. “More than my life! More than my life!” shescreamed, as if saving it loud enough would bring her back.Gannon falls to his knees, clutching his dead mate in his arms, forgetting the war going on aroundus when a bladeslices down my back, forcing my attention back to fight. I am forced to fight my way to them as spinto replace a hunter had come at me from the side, his dagger embedded in my side, and I pull it free,my claws sinking into the side of his neck as I slash at him.Trey moved alongside me as hunters came from everywhere. From up over the hills, out of theforest, and spewing out from the castle, they just kept coming. Even those who tan for safety in thebunkers were now spewing back onto the battleground as hunters chased them back toward us.The Landeena guards, my guards, form a circle around our Queen. Clarice flees with the kids, andPeter barely makes it past our circle of defense that offered little safety as all guards covered theQueen.Guns were drawn and aimed at my body, my back becoming a target as they unleashed on us. Iclutch my stomach as a bullet embedded in my side, then my stomach. Pain ricochets through me,and I stagger as I keep fighting. Nothing else mattered. Only getting to Azalea did.Another bullet pierces through my shoulder when I hear her scream as she feels my pain. Theground shook when was brought to my knees. When Crux’s booming voice echoes through smokeand dust as they surrounded us. They would always know this day as the day the Valkyrie Kingdomfell. The day the hunters took the Lycania Kingdoms down.We were circled entirely as Crux stepped out of the shadows and smoke and onto the battlefieldHis smug smile of triumph seared into me. He was a traitor to his own kind. A betrayer to all.Trending Novels
