“You’re a crazy b***h “, I snapped at my own mother. The threat was not a false one. I could tell by the pressure she was holding the blade at my throat. ” Shut up traitor , listen up. With the amount of power you all have out there , you could easily give us what we want. You turn us into what we want , then you all go free as I said before ” she shouted to my friends on the outside. ” Don’t do it , we will be the first ones she will come for. She hates everything that we are. She would hate that I am out there living a life she hates “, I shouted and she hissed , digging the blade harder into my skin. I could feel it starting to break the skin. ” Shut up b***h ” my mother snapped at me. I looked up and made eye contact with Anthea and slightly shook my head.

” We would never do that for you ” Anthea told her. I smiled , but the blade cut deeper, showing my mother’s displeasure. ” You want me to kill her ” Anthea laughed at my mother’s threat. ” You won’t do that either. If you do that, you lose all leverage and then we will kill you anyway. You will also lose all hope of Violet doing it for you ” Anthea shouted at her. I had never been more proud of her. Anthea was growing so much as a person , she was stronger , fiercer and more confident.

” As my daughter put it , at least she would not be living among the likes of you all. Poisoning her mind , killing my daughter would at least release her from the ratchid mating she had found herself in. ” My mother just got more and more deluded as the years went on. Anthea looked down at Wallace who was lying on the ground , who knew how that had happened. She waves her hand over his body and he disappears out of sight. I felt my mother stiffen. ” Where did you put him ? “she snapped. Anthea glanced back up and smiled. ” He is our leverage ” she stated simply. ” What leverage ? against us? I do not care for him. Kill him “, my mother told her. Anthea shook her head. ” Nope, against his parents’ coven , I was just moving him out of the way. Just incase you have more tricks up your sleeve. But I am thinking. You are all out of tricks now. Because this is a desperate attempt. “

The blade moved again , my mother was getting more and more wound up. And right now we were at a stale mate. I looked at Devon , and he was facing off with my father. Both watching the others’ moves. The coven members all just stood not knowing what to do. ” Mum just, give in “, I told her, but her spare hand went to my hair, gripping it tight. I knew her mind would be going a mile a minute right now. She wouldn’t have expected them to refuse her.

” Bring the talesman here ” she eventually says to my father. He goes to walk towards us , past Devon who he had been squaring off with and quicker than a whip , Devon steps behind him, grabs him by the throat , his hands turn to claws and go to his throat. My father struggled in his grip but Devon easily outpowered him, youth and the fact he was a wolf on his side. He stares at my mother with yellow eyes. ” You let her go , I will let him go ” he growls. His wolf was fully in control of the situation.

My mother’s hand in my hair jerked , a hiss escaped her lips. Devon used one free hand to rip the talesman back off of my father and threw it out of the bubble. Enzo’s big wolf jumped up and caught it in his big mouth. He looked at Anthea and I watched as she climbed onto his back and then, with ease and grace, he stepped through the barrier. The dark witches started scrambling back out of the way of the big beast, fear evident in their eyes.

Anthea slid back off of him, but didn’t move from his side. Her hand stayed on his back. My mother pulled me back , causing me to fall backwards on my a*s. She tried to drag me back with my hair, but her frail body couldn’t do it, and I was lucky with me falling. She didn’t cut my throat. She had moved her hand , she must have because my throat was not slit. With my hands still in these shackles, I couldn’t do much to try and get free.

” Let her go ” Devon roared. But she didn’t listen , she kept trying to pull me back with my hair. I heard my dad scream out and my mum stopped her movements and looked up. Twisting my neck, I saw Enzo now had my father’s hand in his mouth , b***d dripping from his teeth and when I looked at my dad. He was cradling his hand up to his chest. The sight should have hurt me , but it didn’t

Anthea was slowly walking towards my mother and me, and when my mum saw her , she dropped to her knees and placed the knife over my chest. Right above my heart.

” Do that and I will kill you now ” Anthea warned her. ” I can end your life right now , before you even have the chance to drive that blade in “, she added on. ” Give me the talesman and let me leave ” she shouted out. I looked at her face and realized she was completely gone now. The fact I was her daughter , the fact that I was her own flesh and b***d, didn’t even bother her now. ” What about him ? ” Anthea looked at her puzzled and pointed to my father.

I looked up and noticed my mother wouldn’t even look at him. ” Give me the talesman ” she repeated. ” I have no doubt of your power , I can feel it from here and sense the babies you carry in your stomach. But do you want to chance you being quicker than me at pushing this blade in? I may not hold your strength, but I can hold you off just enough to kill her. ” Anthea looked down at me , I shook my head. ” Just kill her “, I told Anthea , but she looked torn.

” Well then, if he is redundant , you won’t mind if I just kill him now ” Devon sneered. He didn’t even give her time to protest. He dragged the sharp nails in his hands across my father’s throat. B***d gushed out everywhere. My mother screamed , looking horrified at the scene. While she was distracted , Anthea struck. First the blade went flying out of her hand. My mum looked down shocked , her eyes wide , and then she stumbled back, falling on her bum. She used her hands through the dirt and the grime to try and scurry back. When it wasn’t getting her anywhere fast, she turned and started crawling.

I looked on, watching what was such a proud and strong woman scurrying away like a terrified rat.She got up off of her knees and began to run. Anthea didn’t follow her though. No one did. Instead, she came to me , and got to work removing the shackles. ” Go after her , I am fine. Don’t let her escape ” I said, panicked. Anthea grinned at me , ” She won’t . There is no where to go , plus ” she looked to her side and two wolves went shooting past us. Chasing her. I breathed a sigh of relief as the shackles came off. Getting up, I went chasing after them with Anthea on my tail. I couldn’t let her somehow weasel her way out of this.

She hadn’t gotten far , but she had gotten far enough to grab what looked like a fire poker. A large metal rod with a sharp end. She was wielding it at the guys , trying to keep them back from her. They circled her snapping and growling. I came to a halt, breathing deeply. ” It’s over ” I gasped. Her wild eyes looked at me and shook her head ,she laughed. ” It is not over , you have taken their son. Do you think they will not come for you now? I can help you , I can help you. I can stop them. They left us behind , they said we were the ones making them weak. They are strong now , they may have cut ties with us . But they won’t forgive you for kidnapping their son ” she said desperately.

“You’re so good at trying to save your own skin ” I laughed at her. The guys stopped circling her but kept watch. ” My father , the man you have been with for years is dead and you couldn’t care less. You don’t care about anyone but yourself. We wouldn’t trust you. I wouldn’t trust you , you have just held a knife to my throat. You own daughter. The coven hates you , they were willing to follow Wallace. Face it mum , this is it “, I told her. She opened her mouth and went to speak , but she came up at a loss. ” Enzo says we are taking her as a prisoner. Put her in the same place as Wallace while we figure out how to get his parents to drop the spell on the pack . After that she will spend the rest of her days in the cells ” Anthea said , relaying what Enzo must be saying through their link. ” I will not be a prisoner ” she screeched.

” It is either that or death , and we all know how much you fear death ” I replied to her. She looked at me , and at the wolves surrounding her. Anthea went to raise her hand and my mother saw it. She did something after that I would never have thought my mother would do. I watched on stunned into a frozen state as she pulled the fir poker up in the air ,, the sharp side face her and then plunged it into her stomach. With a strength I did not know she possessed anymore. A gurgling scream left her lips as she dropped to her feet. ” I will not be left to rot in a dark hole ” she gasped out. My hand flew to my mouth , my feet glued to the floor. I guess there was one thing my mother feared more , and that was being nothing. In a cell she would be nothing , no longer seen , heard or feared. She would already be a ghost. She must truly have known deep down she had lost. I watched as the light in her eyes started dimming , and she fell to her side. I had no immediate family left , Rion was gone , my father was gone and the one person I thought would connive us all was gone.
