[P.O.V. Zyston Woods]
Flying towards the Dark King and attacking him. Digging my claws into his wings and shredding them, making it to where he can't fly. He bites down between my shoulder and neck hard. Digging his claws deep into my back. Dragging me down with him to the ground. Hitting the ground hard, it made a nice dent in the ground.
From not having much strength left, I shifted back from being a dragon to being a man. Crawling out of the huge hole in the ground and lying on the grass, I felt the rain on my face. Trying to catch my breath and regain back some strength. Hoping that finished off the Dark King just when I hope luck was on my side, it wasn't. The Dark King crawled out the hole as well, shifting back into his human form. He didn't even look like anything really hurt him.
"Does nothing kill or hurt this guy?" Stryker growls out. Getting to my feet quickly as I could. Taking a pair of pants off a dead warrior and putting them on.
"I told you, Alpha King, that I have grown stronger over the years. Nothing can defeat me! And soon, very soon. I will finally get my revenge on the Goddess that cast me out all those centuries ago." The Dark King says with pride. "All I have to do now is to finish you off! and take over your body!"
Using his magic, the Fallen King sword came straight to his hand. Attacking me and trying hard to finish me off. With every swing, I kept dodging the best that I could. Stumbling backward onto the ground. The Dark King uses both hands and raises the sword above his head. Grabbing a very thick log off the ground to protect me. He brings the sword down hard, getting it stuck in the piece of the wood. Giving me the advantage to attack him. Pushing back hard and kicking him in the stomach. He stumbles backward, getting up quickly and punching him hard, sending him flying a few feet.
Grabbing the Fallen King sword, the wind blew hard for a few secs. Following the wind, the sound of wolves howling could be heard. The gems on the sword glowed brightly. I could feel the power of the sword hum with knowing its true king. I could feel my eyes shift to my hybrid eyes. Looking at the Dark King, he actually looked a little frightened. Walking towards him, he tries to get up quickly. Before he could, my knee met his stomach, knocking him onto the ground. Drop kicking him in the side; he rolled over.
"The sword won't stop me." His venomously.
"Maybe it will, and maybe it won't, but I'm about to find out." Telling him back. Stabbing him through the heart.
This bright glow and powerful force of energy were around us. Holding onto the sword as tight as I could from being blown away. Watching the Dark King decay away from his flesh, falling off his body. From his body becoming only a skeleton to his Skeleton to only become a smoke-like body. Blue, like blood, bled out of his smoke body. Different small white and dark red orbs floated out of his body. It was all the souls he had soul sucked over the centuries after the last orb was out of his body—the powerful force of energy burst to send me flying into a huge boulder.
Using my elbows to support me on the ground. Glancing around, there was a huge mark where the Dark King had died. There was no more storm; the clouds have separated. The purple moon shined brightly down on the forest. Looking around just a little more, there stood the other four Kings. With an expression, I couldn't tell. Was it amazement? Surprise? Maybe shock? With my adrenaline gone, I could feel everything: all the broken bones and the wounds. With losing so much blood, my body finally collapses, and my mind blacks out.
[P.O.V. Adriana Braxton ]
After Tyler and I enter the stone castle walls. Women from different species were running around trying to help their men. The medical tent was so full that some had to be helped outside the tent. For this reason, Tyler took me to Zyston tent. It didn't take long for Katrina and Scarlet to find me. I cried the whole time we hugged and reunited with each other.
Raina was very right about going into labor; I was having contractions like crazy. I'm more than glad Katrina and Scarlet were here. They are doing everything they could to help me get ready to have this baby. While waiting to have this baby, I kept hoping to see Zyston. Walkthrough the tent door like my knight in shining armor that he is. When I think about it, I also doubt that he won't be able to make it for war reasons.
I haven't been able to feel anything from his side of our mating bond. He has completely shut me out, and I have an idea why he has. He doesn't want me to feel anything while this war is going on. He's probably thinking he's protecting me by doing so. Even if so, it drove me with the anxiety of not knowing if he's okay.
After hours of being in labor, my water finally broke. The pain only got worst, and the need for my Mate got needier. When the time came to have the baby, the moon came out. From behind the clouds and shined brightly. I didn't just have one baby but two twins, to be exact. The moment I heard the cry's, my heart swelled with joy. I had two baby boys; they are beautiful. They both looked a lot like Zyston and me. They both had the most beautiful eyes—Sapphire blue with a hint of purple.
A couple of hours have gone past, and finally, the announcement of the war was over. That we had the victory and the Higher King has been chosen. Tyler came into the tent, giving me a sad look. My heart was pounding so hard it felt like it could burst. The feeling of something is wrong didn't want to settle.
"Wheres Zyston?" My voice almost coming out squeaky.
"I'll take you to him," Tyler says sadly.
"I will watch the twins," Scarlet says. Picking me off the bed, he carries me into the Stone Castle. Some people were surrounding the room.
Everyone bowed their heads to me; even the Dwarf King and Queen did. I couldn't understand why everyone was bowing their heads to me. Taking me into the room, my heart dropped completely. There laid my Mate on a small bed looking like he was all but dead. Sitting me down on a cushioned chair next to his bed. A doctor tried to explain to me why his wolf and dragon weren't healing him. All the jibber-jabber I could hear coming from his mouth as he didn't really understand. After he would speak, the Dwarf King would try to explain what happened.
Looking at Zyston body, it was bruised, broken, bloody, and dirty. 'They couldn't even clean him up after they brought him in? or attend to his wounds?' thinking to myself. Feeling angry and also heartbroken, I couldn't stand them being around me anymore.
"Everybody leaves." Telling them nicely.
"My Queen, I really don't think you should be alone right now with..." The Doctor starts to talk. Holding my hand up, he stops talking.
"I said I want everybody to leave," I said more sternly.
"But my Queen, I.." Feeling my eyes shifted to Raina's for we have had enough.
"I SAID, EVERYBODY LEAVE!" Yelling at everybody, they shut their mouths and looked surprised.
One by one, they all left me alone with my Mate. Closing the room door behind them and the moment they closed it. That's when I broke completely down. Hugging Zyston to me tightly as I could. While I cried on his chest, begging Mother Moon to let him live. Also, begging him not to leave me all alone.
