Chapter Two Hundred and Fifty

EARLIER

Bailey was still in here somewhere. | walked cautiously down the passage ways and | spotted yet another room. | pushed open the door and walked in.

The room was similar to the one I had been kept in earlier, but she wasn't in here either.

I needed a weapon; the sword alone wouldn't do to kill an elder as powerful as she was so | searched through the room. I pulled open a cabinet, and there

1 found more syringes filled with black serum, the very sones used on Thane. | was almost certain of it. | would have to take a gamble with this. From

what Bailey told me, this was created by the elders as a bane for Lycans, | could only hope it had seffect on her too, if it didn’t work on her, then |

was doomed.

1 strode out of the room, and there she was, standing at the very end of the passageway.

“So you've cto kill me.” Bailey said with a smile on her face. “You know, Nyaos has been killed by your mate” She said to me.

| couldn't exactly say | felt bad for that.

| chose to remain silent, even as she walked towards me. “You are a fool for toming all alone. Drop the sword, Riley.”

1 held onto the sword, fighting the urge. She watched me, amusement in her eyes, and then she drew nearer, close enough

“I said drop it.”

I finally let go of the sword, but in the smoment, I stabbed the syringe into her neck. She groaned, pulling it out, but the serum had already mixed

with her blood.

It didn’t work.

That's what | thought till she fell to the floor, letting out a cry of pain. | picked up my sword, aiming to decapitate her head, but she caught the sword

midway; the sharp blades tore into her palm, but she held on. Slowly she rose to her feét.

There was a gunshot, and we both stood still

I hadn't been the one shot.

Bailey opened her mouth to say something, but only blood poured out of her mouth. Axel shot at her again, and she fell to her knees.

“What? No more smiles and quirky comments?” questioned. A single tear dropped down her

eyes.

Axel finally met up with us; he dropped to Baileys level to hold her firm.

“Riley now.” He whispered, and with the sword severed her head from her body. Blood sprayed on my clothes and my face.

“She's dead.” | said to him,

“Yes... she is.” Axel said with sdifficulty.

“Axel, are you alright?”

“Yes, | am,” he answered, tossing her severed head away. Only then did | notice that he was bleeding.

“Axel...

“I will be fine.” He said cuttingoff. “We need to go now.”

“What about Thane...”

My words were cut off by an explosion; the force of the impact slammedagainst the hard wall and | blacked

out,

There was a loud ringing in my head. | felt the warm liquid dripping down my face. Blood. | must have hit my

head really hard.

Axel

“Axel!” | called, but there was no response. “Axel!” | called louder.

“I'm here,” he says, and | let out a breath of relief.

But the moment | saw him, the relief | felt slipped away. An iron rod poked out of his leg, and a chunk of fallen

wall crushed his arm.

“Axel.” | gasped.

“Riley, please don’t cry. | want you to find Thane and leave.”

“No! | am not leaving you.”

“Go Riley, the fire is only going to spread; the longer you stay, the more you put your life at stake.”

“I am the reason you are here.” | said, trying to pull the large slab of concrete off his arm. | groaned from the

weight, but | managed to pull it off. His arm hung in the wrong direction, and | held back a sob. | pulled at the rod

in his thigh, and he groaned. “I'm sorry.” | pulled again, and slowly it coff.
