Chapter 1005 - THE DESPAIR

Bree shrieked when she felt someone grabbing her ankle and soon pain shoot through her entire being when the man stabbed the injection on her leg.

Hearing Bree's scream, one of the werewolves, which was closer to her, immediately turned around and clawed the hand that injected the injection to the little girl.

Only half of the strange green liquid was left inside the tube, it meant the man managed to empty the other half of it into Bree's body.

They didn't know how long it would take for the drug to take effect, but as soon as Bree tried to stand up, she fell limply to the ground, making the other werewolves rushing toward the exit door stop abruptly.

They fell back and gathered around the little girl within moments of time.

Werewolf was a sensitive creature, especially when it came to a member of their pack. And, being with Bree for a considerably long period of time, made them consider her as one of their own.

Rossie's wolf was right beside her, she nudged the little girl, who was whimpering in pain, she pulled her body closer as the little girl's face contorted painfully. This upset the beast to a great extent.

However, with so many guns full of silver bullets pointing at them, there was nothing much they could do now.

============== 

Lilac, Jedrek and the rest of the Lycan warriors with them watched as the wall of flames crumble down before the fire gradually extinguished, showing them the masses of the creatures behind the devils.

They covered the ground for as far as they could see. This could be depicted as a battle of ten against one.

In spite of the fact that the creatures from hell could be considered easy to be taken down, but with their large number, it could still create trouble for them.

"Stay with me," Jedrek grabbed Lilac's hand and pulled her closer to him, while his other hand reached upward, summoning the firebird back to him.

The bird turned pale and very small, than the last time it appeared, the mythical creature flapped its wings weakly before it landed on Jedrek's palm.

"Keep it with you." Jedrek gave the exhausted bird to Lilac and the guardian angel could feel how weak it was. She looked at Jedrek, with worriness written all over her face, but the king reassured his queen. "It's all right."

After the last bit of fire flickered and then went out, the darkness engulfed them once again. Everything became more eerie than before. The sky was no longer dark, but it turned red, as red as blood that had been spilled during this war.

The seven deadly sins were there, standing proudly in front of their minions, with willful arrogance and triumphant smirks on their faces, knowing that they had more troops than their opponent.

Eerie silence occupied the entire area as no word was shared, not even a slight noise, leaving a tense atmosphere around them.

The lycanthropes felt being weighed down with the feelings of depression, despair and anxiousness, which were not relevant with their own feelings, as if they were being forced upon particularly by those few feelings.

And they knew what was that…

Behind the wall of flames, they were protected from the weird atmosphere, but since the wall had been crumbled, the anxiety crept down their skins again, this was the same exact feeling that they felt before they seeked shelter in this school building.

Just this time, it was much more intense, the lycan warriors could feel their hope slipping between their fingers, until Torak shifted into his white beast form, standing tall and proud beside Lilac.

"Let's do this," Kace said before he shifted, but something unusual happened. The two white beasts were covered with golden flames.

The first thing that crossed Lilac's mind was; they were being attacked and burned by the devils.

However, Jedrek leaned over to her and reassured her that they were fine. Lilac then looked around her and saw that the other lycan warriors didn't seem surprised with this sight, if anything, they looked fascinated by this.

They knew about the meaning of the fire bird's existence with the Donovans, after all this was what made them different from the other lycanthropes, as they had this firebird with them.

The only thing that the royal family members had exclusively for themselves.

However, the moment Jedrek shifted into his beast, that thing didn't happen and it could be understood from the weak condition of the firebird in Lilac's cloak pocket.

Jedrek had exhausted his own energy to keep the lycans safe for as long as he could.

Lilac ran her hand through the soft fur of the beast and it nudged her hand, beside her, Sebastian helped the guardian angel to climb on its back. She secured herself by grabbing its fur firmly, and clamped her legs on either sides of its body, making herself comfortable.

As if on cue, the rest of the lycanthropes shifted into their beasts and howled in unison before the three Donovan brothers charged forward. Marking their first attack.

No one was sure about who would win this or who else they would lose after this. The only thing that they knew was; if they didn't fight with all of their might now, there would be nothing left to be fought for…

============== 

Bree whimpered in agony as she felt her chest caving in, her vision became blurry and everything appeared double in her eyes.

The voices of the people around her rang in her ears painfully, but there was nothing worth her attention except for the burning sensation on her skin which penetrated her being like some blood sucking leeches .

She let out a strangled scream, but the sound that came from her mouth was nothing like what she expected it to be. It was hoarse and heavy, it sounded like a vicious growl.

Bree tried to open her eyes to tell Rossie that she was in pain and help her to put off the fire that was licking her being, but she couldn't say a word.

Her voice stuck in her throat when she noticed the stunned expressions on the faces of the other people around them.

At the same time, another wave of pain washed over her and made the little girl bent her body in a strange position and Bree heard several gasps of surprise in the next second.
