Quickley I walked towards Elijah. Placing my trembling hands on his face. “I’ll be back. Until then you make sure everyone is okay. I will handle the rest. I love you” I placed a chaste kiss on his lips before backing away, walking in the direction where selene pointed.
The closer I got to the border the louder their voices became. So many different smells. I don’t smell any humans which is a good thing. However, I smell a witch and many rogues. Alphas and one smell, I got so used to smelling. One I never expected.
Slowly, I walked past my border and into the open land right outside. All stop and stare at me. It only took seconds before they all came at me. Five wolves latched onto various parts of my body. My left arm, both ankles, thigh, and back. My wolf howled in pain.
But that's when it happened. I did what Selene said and let go. My whole body glowed before every wolf in the immediate area around me disintegrated right before my eyes. Shock looked on many of the rogues before they backed away and took off.
I heard a loud curse when I turned to look at Alpha Jason. But who caught my eye was Blaze. My uncle Blaze stood next to Jason and Nero, an Alpha that was King Richards right handed man. What shocked me the most was the smile on Blaze's face before he winked at me.
Chapter 34
“It’s over, all you have to do is forfeit. If you choose otherwise I will destroy every single one of you worthless Alphas who couldn’t challenge me like a normal wolf. Instead you wanted to be cowards and fight behind rogues and hunters. You're weak. NOW BOW BEFORE YOUR QUEEN” The power and intensity shocked me. I never knew I had it in me. Many Alphas bowed, showing me their necks. Summiting to me and my throne.
My wolf growls loudly. “I gave you a chance,” I said between gritted teeth before grabbing the closest wolf to me, then ripping his spine right out of his body. Blood ran down my arm as I lifted the spine up in the air.
“Who’s next” I said looking around to those 3 huge wolf's ran at me all at once. But with a snap of my fingers, they erupted into flames.
More wolves scurried off. Only ones left are Blaze, Jason and Nero. Before Nero turned to run away, Blaze put a boundary spell around the two before walking over to me. “Good job baby girl, your dad would be so proud of you” He whispered in my ear. I heard growls from behind me where the two Alpha stood in a small circle.
“Kill us already” Nero growled out before making a step forward. However the boundary line burned him. He wasn’t going anywhere.
“What do you want to do with them?” Blaze asked. Grabbing my hand that started glowing red.
“I want them to pay for the lives we lost today. The good men and women. I want to go out the same way I killed their coward of a King. I want them in flames, watching as their skin melts off the worthless bodies. Hearing the screams from their mouths” I growled out.
We grabbed hands before saying “INCENDIO”. Seconds later flames erupted in the small circle, the screams as the flames burned their flesh. The smell that surrounded us as we stood watching until all that was left was ashes of what they used to be. Today we rid the earth of wretched wolves like them.
“Why did we have to say incendio when I killed King Richard, flames just erupted from my body and it was like the fire knew what to do?” I asked before turning around.
“The power flowing in your body needed to be let out. I assume that's the reason why your body erupted in flames” He said before holding his arm out to me to grab onto. “Let's get you back to your castle my princess” He laughed.
“I’m a Queen now” I laughed before following his lead. “We did it” I said looking around the field at the puddles of blood soaking into the earth beneath us and the bodies scattered about.
“No, Estelle, you did it,” He said, pulling me towards the border where Elijah and Many other Alphas stood waiting. As we walked over the border a weight felt like it was lifted off my shoulders. I collapsed as soon I got to Elijah. Blackness surrounded me like an old friend greeting you after a long time apart.
Chapter 35
I walked around in the dark for what felt like hours before I finally saw the light. The light I’ve gotten so used to seeing. Seeing that light meant I would see her. The moon goddess blessed me with her presence once again.
“You did it. You won the war. The power that flows through your body needs to be controlled or fire will erupt all around us causing the earth to burn to ash. Control it. Learn about your powers. Teach your children about theirs. All creatures have signed a peace treaty.
You will be one of the greatest Queens to ever happen to the Kingdom. I will keep watching upon our family till Adira is powerful enough to take my place and set me free. Until then, love them like no one could ever love them more.
You have the Gemini power and you have the Kerrigan family wolf genes. Most powerful Hybrid to ever exist. Now, go back to your family” She said, placing a hand on my head.
When I awoke, I was in my bed surrounded by my family. Elijah, Sydney, my children and Mason. Even Alpha Orion was still here, as well as Cassian, Lucias, and Kai.
“Why’s everybody in my room?” I asked climbing out of bed and going to the bathroom, getting a hair band and pulling my hair into a bun at the top of my head.
My body was still sore, but from what I can tell I am all healed. The war added more scars to my body where a wolf took a massive chunk of skin out of his ankle.
“How are you feeling?” Elijah asked coming up to me and holding onto my shoulders as if I am going to faint again.
“I’m okay, I just want to see my babies” I said kissing him quickly before walking around him.
“Aww you wanted to see me, well I am okay” Kai said before bursting out laughing. Many laughed around us. Even Elijah laughed.
“How about some cake?” Sydney suggested.
Everyone rushed out of the room. All that was left was Lilian and Adira. “Girls mommy has something to tell you” I said pulling them to the bed where we sat down.
“Our family is among the most powerful wolves, and the most powerful witches alive. As you grow older, I will teach you control, I will teach you how to use your powers. All three of you are unbelievably powerful. I love you guys more than life itself. You are my most prized possessions. My wolf won’t ever let anything happen to you. Now let's go get cake” I said laughing before hugging them quickly.
EPILOGUE
For years after the great war of 05, my powers got stronger but so did I. Me and Elijah had another girl. Our sweet Araya. We never had another war like the great war. Those Alphas fell in line.
Adira is almost ready to take over for the moon goddess. But only few know. The moon goddess helped me to teach her about her family's lineage. About her mother and father. Elijah is so protective over our children he has tried to keep her from mastering her power. Hoping that it would stop the moon goddess from collecting her.
Phoenix is growing stronger each day. It is hard to deal with his anger issues that come along with his strength. I can feel the power of the gemini coven beneath the surface.
Blaze gave his magic to me when he knew I was ready. He said if anybody could be a leader to a coven it would be me. I am a coven leader and a Queen. He disappeared after the ritual. I haven't seen him since. I wish he would have stayed. He left a single letter. The Letter read:
My Dearest Niece,
You have become everything you father would be so proud of. I know he is smiling up above. You are so strong. You have gone through so much, but you never let it affect you. Your light still shines brighter than the north star.
I’m sorry, I have to leave. I have been waiting since your father passed to see you again, but I figured now is the time to try and find my mate. She is out there somewhere I just need to find her. I can’t wait to come back and see your children all grown up.
This kingdom is lucky to have a Queen like you. You deserve everything this world can offer you. I love you.
Best Regards,
Blaze
Lilian has by far been the hardest to deal with since the war. She was so keen on marrying Alpha Orion, but ever since the war she has only seen him once or twice. Her 15th birthday was the last time she saw him. He brought her a beautiful necklace and a single red rose with a note tied to it before he disappeared again. Everytime he leaves she shuts down for weeks.
For weeks she will sit in her room and cry. Then she starts painting. After a couple weeks she gets over it. It’s like it doesn’t bother her anymore. That or she just doesn’t show it.
I knew why he was distancing himself. It can’t be hard being around your mate and not having her. So, I bet he is biding his time like he said he would till she turns 18. But she can find her mate at 16.
I figured he would come to her 16th birthday ball. I thought I smelt him but never saw him. She cried that night in my lap and swore she didn’t want anything to do with him anymore. That once she found her mate, she won’t have to worry about him anymore.
Elijah has become an excellent King. Standing by his side and watching him rule over thousands of wolves has been a site. His old pack is now run by Alex, who is an exceptional Alpha.
Peace through all creatures on the earth has been made. Shapeshifters, wolves, and witches live amongst each other in peace. This Kingdom has prospered because of it.
I never would’ve thought I would be this happy with how my life turned out. But truly I have nothing to complain about.
THE END
