Chapter 22 - The barrier has been broken

~Celestial Realm: Imperial palace

A black haired young man walked through gigantic and intricately carved wooden doors yelling,

"Alistair!"

The silver haired guy that Gamo Diana encountered emerged from inside the room calling,

"Dad"

"Oh you still know that I am your father... Why did you go down to the lower realms when I forbade it?"

"I couldn't stand by and do nothing... They are our subjects and if we do not control the vampires they'll destroy the human world the same way they destroyed the fairies... Speaking of I still do not understand why you let that happen... The vampires are mere mortals"

"I am bounded by rules Alistair!!" The man yelled

"You are the King of Heaven... You are the rules" Alistair replied

"This.. this position as the King of Heaven is not all what it seems... You won't understand"

"Make me! Make me understand..."

"You... You and your sister may think you're bounded by rules but I have it tough... You Alistair, you may think of me as incompetent but I know that I'm trying my best... You think I want to be King? A mere paper tiger with no real power whatsoever?"

The black haired man turned around and walked away.

Alistair slid down onto a couch. Burying his face in his hands he cried,

"Why then ?... Why did you send her there?"

~Lower Realms: the human world

Alpha Damian swung his claws at a nearby vampire turning her to ash. The other werewolves joined the battle while the witches cast spells of healing and attack from the side.

Meanwhile Layna who was at her parents house with Tiana, May and Liam felt uneasy.

"Are you alright dear?" Her mother asked

"I'm fine... I just feel kinda weird" she replied

Tiana on the other hand shot up from her seat.

"You feel weird?" She asked Layna anxiously

"Yeah" Layna said with her eyebrows raised

"Is it like a good weird or a bad one?" Tiana asked again

Liam approached Layna with a glass of water while looking at Tiana, "what's with the questions?" He asked

"As the supreme alpha she has the ability to sense when something bad is about to happen or is already happening "

May looked at them nervously as she heard this.

Just then a faint green glow surrounded Tiana and her eyes turned amber.

"My powers... My powers are back" she stuttered though she didn't look happy about the occurrence.

"So?" Layna asked feeling like the blade of a guillotine was hanging above her heart.

"The barrier has been broken... We're not safe here"

'oh fuck! The blade has fallen' Layna thought

"Mom, dad.. get up we need to leave this place" Layna said

"Where do we go from here?" May asked

Before Layna could reply the door burst open. Layna's eyes turned blue as she and Liam protected her parents and May while Tiana attacked. Tiana suddenly stopped and bowed towards the people at the door.

"Luna... Gamo you're here"

"Thank you for your hard work child" Luna Amalia told Tiana. She then turned to Layna with teary eyes,

"My daughter"

Needless to say, Layna looked exactly like her mother.

Layna clenched her fists looking at the people in front of her.

Her mum tugged at her,

"Layna dear..."

"No mum... I'll handle this"

The Luna felt disheartened seeing her child call someone else mum. She looked at Tiana for help.

"Layna this is..."

"My birth mother,I know" Layna interrupted.

"Layna please I'm sorry... I know you're mad at me and your father bit we really had no other choice"

Layna looked at her mum who was tugging at her sleeve and sighed,

"It's fine"

Luna Amalia looked gratefully at Mr Damien and his wife.

"Thank you for taking care of Layna... Thank you"

"Luna we need to get going" Gamo Diana reminded

"Ah yes... Please pack up we'll be taking you guys to a safehouse... The vampires have entered the human world" Luna Amalia said

"We're ready" said Layna

Gamo Diana uttered a spell and they appeared in front of a huge facility.
