Serena

With anger and the need for revenge thrumming inside me, my wolf lowered its head and snarled at

Sofia. Deadly whites of different sizes and sharpness displayed in front of her. I was sure these babies

could break her bone easily, cutting her blood resource and sending her straight to the land of the

dead, but I had another thing in mind for her. Another way of death wherein justice could truly be

served.

Her eyes were wide as she regarded my wolf. She kicked her feet up and was just about to scram

when I leaped onto her, caging her in place with my animal form.

Again, I flashed my fangs, but this time so close to her face that my snout almost kissed her creasing

forehead.

′Be still while I rearrange your fucking face, Sofia,′ I stated through telepathy whilst one of my claws

tested its sharpness using her chest. She cried out in response as her flesh got cut open. Her legs tried

to kick my underside, but the weight of my wolf was ten times heavier than I was on human form. She

couldn’t push me off.

“This is not over yet!” she shouted, throwing me a look of rage.

Her free hand slammed against the soil and before I could stop her, an explosion from below us caused

the ground to break and create a crater.

I jumped just in time before I could fall together with her. A quick aerial view of the crater showed how

sizable it was. Clouds of dust and debris were everywhere. The once beautiful patch of glowing flowers

was defaced. A few trees nearby were uprooted. The Salviste Lake almost got swallowed up by the

crater, but I was relieved it was spared by a few feet.

On all fours, I landed some distance away from the crater. The impact made the soil underneath my

paws crack.

Sofia emerged from the rubble all recovered and ready for part two. She was holding her curved twin

swords, probably summoning them during the distraction. I expected her to come to me with those

blades again, but to my surprise, she tossed them on the ground again.

“Depending on your wolf blood now? Couldn’t take me on while being fae?” she dared.

She actually fucking dared.

Deep inside, I recalled my wolf, promising to have its spotlight later. First, I needed to teach this bitch a

lesson.

“Here you go, Sofia,” I spread my hands up once I returned to my human form, “As you wish. Now, let’s

fight!”

I ran towards her with nothing but my bare hands as a weapon. She answered this with an enthusiastic

run of her own.

We met halfway in the field seconds later. She aimed for my head, trying to land a good uppercut. I

blocked her with my right elbow and then answered with a heavy punch to her left flank.

She grunted briefly, then went back to attacking me. Unleashing a combination of punches and kicks,

she was able to land one forceful kick to the side. Air left my lungs in an instant. I doubled over and

briefly coughed up blood.

Seeing this, she chuckled. I saw just how much this one successful hit made her overconfident.

She tried to target my chest and torso again with another string of combinations. I answered her with

blocks and a series of counterattacks of my own, ending it with a sharp headbutt when I was able to

grab her head.

This brought her wobbling to the ground. Blood trickled from her nose not a second later. I grinned,

finding this satisfying.

Frustrated, she spat out saliva in front of me, wiped her nose, and stood up, positioning into another

fighting stance.

I must admit, I admired her tenacity and strength. It was no question she was well taught by the elders

too. As the next priestess in line, I expected no less. She was a well-deserved opponent, but still, our

skills vary greatly. It was a shame she couldn’t see this fact.

“A human, a half-wolf, or a half-fae, nothing changes, Sofia. I still outrank you,” I stated.

“I beg to differ!” she grounded and then moved towards me.

Timing her as she came forward, I simultaneously stepped back and threw in a knife-hand to her throat.

With direct contact, she staggered backward again, choking on the blow, but this didn’t stop her. She

swayed her hand from right to left and before I knew it, an invisible force threw me across the field.

Damn cheating bitch. NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.

She might have realized hand-to-hand combat couldn’t help her so she resorted to using her powers

again. Fuck.

I stretched my arms, checking for any sign of bone fracture, and fortunately, there was none.

“You never play fair, huh?” I asked her, the rage in my eyes heightening.

She scoffed and flipped a hand in the air. “I wasn’t taught to do that.”

I clenched my teeth. Now, my wolf really did want to come out, and certainly, I obliged its request. I

shifted to my beast form, this time really aching to have her fucked up face mutilated.

Seeing this change, Sofia stepped backward and shifted to a familiar stance.

Varying sizes of circles then appeared on the ground around me. It contained the symbols of the faes:

Lapiza, Atizola, Masupi, Elnach, Jet’sum, Wanauie, Emdalch, Ruis’et. All of these together could

summon a higher form of power. I briefly admired her for attempting such a big task, but at the same

time found this to be idiotic.

She must really be desperate now.

“I will show you just how much I am better than you!” she bellowed, levitating in the air thereafter.

The ground shook. The waters of the lake turned to big waves. Small stones and medium-sized

boulders levitated with her.

I poised into my hunting position. My claws elongated further. My white fur stood on end.

Once she was floating five-storeys high, she released seven swords from the symbolic circles, caging

me in place as if I was a prisoner. They were gigantic and in different colors accordingly staying true to

what they represented: wind, fire, earth, forest, water, sky, time, and lastly, space.

The swords around me created a stronger gravity. I wasn’t able to leap out but this didn’t worry me.

Sofia started chanting and then, the swords began to glow even brighter.

“Now, you will die!” she cried out just as the light of the swords converged in the center and exploded

directly towards me.

I didn’t move an inch. I welcomed this explosion head-on.

Bathed in radiant light, I thought I was already in heaven. My body felt weightless. I examined my skin

and it was illuminating in rainbow colors. This was a first for me to actually be in such a place, but then

again, I had never ever been subjected and attacked using ancient fae magic.

’My Little Flower,’ I heard someone say. It was from a woman’s and immediately, my eyes watered after

recognizing it.

“Mother!” I turned around and without hesitation, leaped to give her a very big, spine-crushing hug.

’Oh Serena…’ she muttered, her voice in echoing waves.

I was highly aware I wasn’t dead, but that this wasn’t an illusion either. This was real.

“You’re here. You’re actually here.” I withdrew and cupped her beautiful face. Even in death, beauty

favored her.

’Only for a brief moment, Serena,’ she caressed my cheeks and wiped a few streams of tears leaving

my eyes. ’The light of the symbols will soon fade and with it, me too,’ she explained. ‘I just wanted to

see you again. You’ve really grown, my darling.’

“I missed you mom,” I hugged her tighter, “I really do.”

’You met your father now?’ she asked.

I nodded enthusiastically. “He is really handsome and brave, and I could feel our strong bond and his

feelings for you. He really loves you.”

’I know…’ she answered, her eyes sharing emotions of deep longing and sadness. ’You take care of

each other okay?’

I nodded again, my eyes now blurring with more of the salty fluid.

‘In time, your father and I will reunite. True mates are promised that by the Universe, but also, I

promised it personally to your father. The golden glow of the Salviste Lake is proof.’

“I’m happy I’ll have something to tell father after this stupid war is over,” I stated, giving her a small

smile.

’I give my blessing to you and King Aero,’ she stated now slowly turning see-through, ’Love each other

and give your father lots of grandchildren.’

“Oh, mom…” I chuckled and bit my lip. “Good…bye.”

’Goodbye, My Little Flower. Serena. I love you,’ she answered enough and left me a flying kiss just as

she disappeared in front of me.

Returning to reality, I found myself in the same area I was in, still surrounded by the towering swords

and still in my wolf form. Before the light could fully fade, I blew out air, recollecting myself, and

gathering my anger back.

Above me, Sofia was still floating. I silently sent her my thanks for without this form of energy attack, I

wouldn’t have met my mother again. I could be lenient towards her because of this, but still, she

deserved to pay for her sins.

“What’s this?” she stated, her eyes quickly turning to surprise as she saw me still intact, unscathed,

and alive. “You were supposed to disintegrate!”

I chuckled darkly, which on wolf language consisted of a couple of puffs of air.

’Bitch, that’s where you’re wrong. Hasn’t anyone told you that that spell only works if done correctly? Its

powers were only meant to be held by a true priestess: me to be exact,’ I told her telepathically.

Her face soon blanched upon realization.

’I will show you what that spell truly looks like.’

Despite in my wolf form, I could still call out my fae powers.

I howled loudly, then the same circular symbols appeared around Sofia. Since she was floating, so

were the symbols too, but as soon as the swords emerged from the ground, she was pulled down by

gravity.

Her body hit the earth with a loud crushing sound.

The building-sized swords emitted their light just like before. I started chanting the spell mentally whilst

my wolf eyes honed in on the screaming Sofia.

The light of the swords converged in the center again, but this time, an even monstrous sword

appeared from it. The ancient fae magic textbooks called it, Ellerion. Or the universe in human jargon.

This was what Sofia didn’t know.

Only a true High Priestess could pass this secret down to her rightful successor. My mother had

planted this in my head in the form of a bedtime song.

Ellerion, acting as a judgment weapon, fell down on Sofia, breaking every bit of her bone, taking out

eighty percent of her life essence, and sucking out all her powers.

Her cries were deafening to the ears. Wolves were very sensitive to sounds so I had to summon a

barrier around me to block her voice out.

Once Ellerion disappeared, I lifted my spell and the other swords vanished. What was left was Sofia,

frail-looking, and almost dead.

I neared her and grunted at the sickly smell of her scent.

“Fin—ish me n—ow…!” Even in near-death, she had the gall to demand.

’I want to, oh yes, but I have no right to kill you, Sofia,’ I told her in her mind. ’The witches own this

right. They want you and so they shall have you.’

After my telepathic call, Lady Yllana appeared opposite me and smiled. “What do we have here?”

’She’s yours, Milady,’ I stated.

Lady Shea and Lady Rosella appeared too, their eyes filled with excitement.

My wolf blew out a long huff before turning around and leaving them. I didn’t need to see what they

wanted to do with Sofia, but I was certain as hell they’d be using fire in one of their tortures.
