Chapter 244
The entire pocket dimension shook.
It wasn’t a vibration that pulsed through the ground and walls alone. No. The air itself ripped, causing the space to twist and distort.
I stared anxiously at the black veil separating me from Odessa and the raven witch. It suddenly began getting thicker, making it impossible to see through it anymore.
The air itself seemed like it was burning due to the heat of her flames.
’Odessa? Odessa!’ I called her through the mind link but all I got was radio silence.
It was then that I noticed something that sent shivers down my spine. The mate bond… It was flickering!
It was actually flickering like a candlelight against the wind, struggling to stay alive. That should be impossible. The only way the mate bond could get affected like this was if…
Oh, no.
“Alpha king? Hello, Alpha King Kaelos?” Isaiah’s voice came through the comm device in my ear just then as I slowly dropped the wolf girl from my arms.
She clutched my hand weakly, but I barely paid her attention as I fixed my gaze on the dark veil.
Odessa’s magic was still brimming powerfully, sending shockwaves and tremors all around the pocket space, but for some reason, the mate bond was fluctuating.
“Isaiah. I’ve released most of the captives.” I said hoarsely, my bones twitching underneath my skin as I stepped forward.
No more playing around.
“If you’ve gotten control of the portal routes, use them NOW. This entire pocket dimension is about to go down.” I said coldly, balling my hands into fists.
I slowly withdrew my hand from the wolf girl, glancing at her. Then I scanned my gaze around, staring at the captives who had gained consciousness.
“Are you crazy?” Isaiah suddenly cursed from the other end. “Destroying a pocket dimension takes a tremendous amount of power. That place will cave in on you and Odessa and you’ll—”
“Do it now. If these captives die and I get out of here I’ll have your head, witch.” I snarled, taking out the comm device from my ear and dropping it on the ground.
I turned my gaze to the little girl who stared up at me with her big doe eyes, blinking slowly. My mind reeled when I remembered the wolf boy exploding into nothingness just a few minutes ago.
I saw our unborn child in that boy’s eyes and felt a shiver surge through my entire being.
He was just a kid. They were all innocent. Yet they couldn’t escape being victims in this war.
“Little one,” I muttered, placing my hand on her shoulder and crouching to her level. I was hesitant at first, my eyes scrutinising her closely.
I wasn’t really good with kids. But Odessa…
Our baby.
“Can you help your Alpha King rally the adults and get them to carry the unconscious people to that spot?” I pointed at the black door in the corner.
The little girl blinked once, glancing at the others. Some either stood, disoriented and lost, while others knelt close to their unconscious loved ones.
I could see the hesitance and nervousness in the girls’ eyes but I smiled, using my thumb to brush her cheeks tenderly.
“Don’t be shy,” I whispered. “Tell them Alpha King Kaelos sent you. Okay?”
She was silent for a couple of seconds before she nodded. “Okay.”
With that, she ran off, doing as I said and rallying the people together, telling them what I told her. I only let my gaze linger on them for a few seconds before I brought it back to the giant black wall.
I could’ve used my Alpha King aura to compel the captive wolves to head to the black door for safety, but I took note of the fact that they were all just waking up from a traumatic experience.
Everyone here has probably been subjected to harsh experiments.
Feeling the force of my Alpha King aura could do more harm than good.
’Damon, whatever you do… We have to control ourselves during our transformation. Do you understand me?’ I asked the fur ball mentally.
He merely growled in response but that meant nothing to me. No matter… I’ve held back for long enough.
I increased my pacing, basically sprinting toward the giant black wall as I heard some of the captives behind me mumbling with a myriad of emotions.
“Isn’t… Isn’t that the Alpha King?”
“Where are we? What’s going on?”
“What is he doing? That black wall… It looks so evil.”
I drowned out all these words to the back of my head as only one thing screamed on the surface.
Odessa. My mate. The mother of our unborn child.
I WILL NOT LOSE HER!
Suddenly, a guttural roar tore through my throat when I was about ten meters away from the black wall. I channelled most of my strength into my legs as my Alpha King aura surged in the form of a visible silver energy, which surrounded me like a cloak.
My bones and muscles twisted as my mass began tripling, my claws elongating. Blood red fur began sprouting out of my skin and my clothes slowly began tearing off into nothing but shreds.
I could still feel Odessa’s magic surging at the other end of the black wall and that acted like a tether, grounding me in the fact that she was still alive.
And I’ll tear reality itself down if it means keeping things that way.
The pocket dimension shook with a new tremor that this time caused the ceiling to slowly begin collapsing with dust and debris.
At that same moment, I’d fully transformed into my wolf form and bolted forward with a force that left behind a sonic boom in my wake.
This time, when my claws connected with the black wall, it ripped it down like paper. I growled, my eyes immediately locking on what lay ahead.
Odessa was still alive but it was clear her magic was getting out of control. And so was she.
She had her back facing me as she crossed her arms into an “x”, blocking a powerful and continuous blast of black magic energy from the raven witch who cackled like a maniac.
That’s… Until the raven witch’s eyes flicked in my direction. Her composure dissipated just like the black veil she had used to separate my mate from me.
But that brief moment of hesitation was what Odessa needed to take back control. This text is hosted at
” DIE!” Odessa roared, pushing back at the black magic blast as the golden violet flames surrounding her body burst out until it turned into a blinding flaming tower that connected with the ceiling.
