Ansari's pov.True, the wounds on some people were still healing and the town was in ruin. That should be action enough but I could feel the call of war in my soul. It was beckoning to me. It called me, it pulled at my spirit and all I wanted was to leap at a monster's throat and tear it to shreds.I turned to him and placed a hand on his shoulder. “You should go to your wife. Tell her the truth, I can't have her hoping for something that is not true.” I said sadly. It had been the case with me. Waiting on my father in front of our cabin, waiting and pleading for him to come home. But he did not.I had hoped those robbers would spare my family but they had not either.Hope was nothing but a facade. A stupid little blue scam.He looked at me with Sad eyes and nodded. “She's pregnant.”His words echoed in my head and I felt for him even more. But he was a man, and a man was a warrior, a man was a hero, and a man is always a living sacrifice for his family.I hugged him tightly and he b
Daruis's povThe smell of sulfur was almost intoxicating to me. The army marched ahead of us, monsters of every shape and size marching with weapons through the woods of Iceland.A sharp pain jolted me for a split second.Saltos looked down at me momentarily.“Do not fall weak now. I still need you. Control the boy's soul.” He ordered in his cool but demonic voice.I nodded. I could feel the sound of Daruis clawing and fighting to gain control of his body but I could not allow that. His soul will die, just like Magnus and his entire race.We came to a stop on a hill that looked down at a lonely cabin in the middle of nowhere. The grass that led up to the cabin had been scorched and it was evident a great battle had been fought there.“They killed him,” I muttered in shock.“It matters not,” Saltos replied. “They die today.”The logins marched in front with the succubuses right behind them. They were our front line. They would march ahead of us into battle and weaken the ones inside. S
Magnus's povSelene had done her part and now was the time for us to do ours. The lightning bolt had rocked me off my senses and the world was a fucking rollercoaster. “Saltos!!” I heard Selene's voice.“Come at me!!” The evil voice replied.I looked around for Gabriel and found him writhing in pain amid several monsters. I touched my pocket, the potion was still intact.“Gabriel!!” I called. He was too weak to give a reply and turned his head to me weakly.I ran to him and grabbed him and Olivia.“Gabriel!” He was motionless. The bottle was a one-day trip, a one-day trip and this was the only one we had. I looked up to the sky and watched Selene throw a monstrous bolt of blue energy at the monster king who swatted it away like it was nothing.“You cannot stop me.” He bellowed. Selene answered with another thunderbolt.“Magnus the potion.” Olivia's voice came to me weakly. I nodded and uncapped the bottle but my eyes remained on the monster and Selene.“Come on.”I urged silently.
Ansari's povI struggled to my feet and turned to Jasper.“You should have seen this coming. It was pretty obvious.” He said.My head spun but I knew what had to be done. Jasper is to be put down soon. “The town, the pack, if your people are all corrupted…” the thought of it was sickening.“Yes, your people will be killed before the dawn of tomorrow. You might try your best to go save them but you've already got a lot on your hands as it is.” He said with a smile. My daughter, Mira, was back home surrounded by enemies she thought were friends. Jasper was enjoying this… I could not believe this was Jasper.“Jasper you have to fight this, you have to fight Saltos. This isn't you.” I pleaded.“Ohh but it is. We wolves have a part of us that craves death, that craves the hunt. Aren't you tired of hiding, of being forced to keep away from humanity?”“Please Jasper,” I begged. “You have a mate.”“I know that. Too bad Saltos left them uncorrupted. But I'll change them myself when the time c

Ansari's pov"What the hell is that thing?" One of the cops asked in complete fear.They were afraid of me, and I knew the nature of man. Kill anything that frightens you.I had to do something to please them, to at least make me not look like a threat. I turned to them and let go of the piece of Jasper's flask I had in my hand. It fell to the ground with a heavy splat.They all shook in fear and pointed their guns at me."Do not move!!""Good God, look at all that blood on it." Someone whimpered.This wasn't working. I had to find a way to the truck. But they were going to follow me back to the pack. I could not resist that.I sighed. I knew what had to be done.But …if I did this, how different would I be from Daruis and Saltos? All those lives were lost because of him."Captain, what should we do?" a cop asked, fear shaking his voice like an earthquake."I don't know."But I did. I pounced on them, and in the blink of an eye, I was in their midst.I reached out, tearing the Captain
Darius's pov.As the dust settled on the battlefield, it became apparent that we had failed. Santos would be furious. I could already imagine the star he would be in when he found out."DARIUS!!" His voice boomed through the Icelandic plain.Oh no. I was fucked now.I looked around for him, but he called to me again, and I saw him hovering over me."Sir!!" I cried out and fell to my knees."Gather the troops; we match before dusk." He said and turned to walk away. I was surprised at this. He had just lost thousands of his troops to a girl and three others, and he chose just to turn and walk away like it was nothing."Sir?" I began, but his voice boomed over mine. "The Goddess's avatar was nothing more than a distraction. She was a road stop on our journey to the treasure I seek." And with that, he turned away and floated towards the hills.What was he talking about? What treasure was more important than his mission of death and destruction? I would never understand this God. It was fu
Darius's pov"Darius." Saltos's voice echoed in my head. I stood to attention and braced for his orders. "Come to me now. We have much to discuss about your weaning loyalty." And just like that, his voice was cut off, and I knew he had left my mind. I was weaning loyalty. I was not disloyal; where did he get that idea from? I was not disloyal. But I could not argue with him. I could not dare to. The fact that he taught me disloyal meant he had plans for me.I found him quickly enough. Saltos was never found, even in a crowd like this. In an army this vast, he was still easy to identify.He stood over a group of monsters, and the moment I walked into their midst, his eyes identified me."Leave us!!!" His voice boomed through. It was not even a command, but the tempo of his voice was so fierce that it reverberated through my bones.The other generals left one by one, and soon, I stood alone in the presence of the king of demons, commander of the legions of hell. Saltos has business wit
