Chapter 270 Torment Me Forever

“I’m sorry, just… wait a minute. Let me get this straight because it seems absolutely f*****g

unbelievable. What you’re saying is, some poor bastard’s soul is being used to hold a magickal barrier

that stops all communications within it?” Felix asked in disbelief.

“Pretty much, yes. It prevents all communication from inside of the barrier, with the outside. It can only

be destroyed by the same signature of magic that it was constructed with, so any magick that doesn’t

match with the caster’s variant of magick, simply won’t work.” Lord Brarthroroz answered.

“So how the hell are we going to take it down?” Allen murmured. “Lexi…” Ann breathed as Lord

Brarthroroz’s eyes snapped to her.

“As much as I dislike the truth of your statement, I cannot deny that you are right.” he frowned.

“Why Lexi? Why does it have to be her and not you?” Allen interrupted fiercely, “She’s already unstable

and we’ve seen how using her … powers, abilities, magick whatever you want to call it, has affected

her! What if this happens again and none of us are close enough to help her and she gets hurt?!”

“I understand your concern Allen, and to prevent that from happening, I will be with her.” Lord

Brarthroroz answered calmly, fully aware that Alien’s protective instincts were going into overdrive with

the help of his wolf.

“Why does she even have to be involved if you’re going anyway?! He’s your brother! Why can’t you

deal with this!” Allen roared as Adam growled warningly for him not to continue.

“Because whether you like it or not, Allen, Lexi is a powerhouse who’s magickal signature matches

both the ancient line of the gods, and the dark, twisted fury of the Daemons. She is a child of both

worlds, Allen, and she stands the best chance of being able to penetrate this barrier.” Lord Brarthroroz

answered him patiently, “Perhaps she will even find a way to sever the connection and return some

part of their souls to any that are still living.”

Allen glowered fiercely, and the clenching and unclenching of his jaw was plain for everyone to see.

For all of them, this was just unfair. The casualties that the coven had left in their wake was already too

high, and none of them wanted to see any of their loved ones hurt, but the positions that they held

meant that they had to put the needs and safety of their people above their own wellbeing.

“Allen…you know that Lexi will want to help in any way that she can.” Ann said gently, knowing full well

that Greyson was in there somewhere, and that would be a driving factor in Lexi’s decision making.

“I know, okay? She’s already set on going in and sorting it out herself, I just…I was hoping there would

be another way.” Allen said finally with a sigh, “One that didn’t involve her putting herself at risk. We

both know that she needs Greyson to help temper her abilities, and if anything has happened to him…”

he trailed off, leaving it hanging in the air as each of them considered the devastating consequences

should Lexi’s abilities collide without support.

“Allen, I’ll help in any way I can too…” Ann offered but Adam stood angrily and shouted over her.

“No, you will not. You will stay where it’s safe.” He growled as Ann glowered at him.

“Seriously Adam, I know I’m confined to the damn Enclave, but that doesn’t mean I can’t be useful

here.” She snapped as Adam’s face seemed to soften a little, “I think something that you boys need to

remember is that we have our own minds and we will make decisions for ourselves whether like it or

not, and whether you agree with it or not. Lexi will do as she thinks is best, not as you tell her to do,

however unwise you think her decisions might be.”

Lord Brarthroroz chuckled at the barely repressed frustration and anger that practically rolled out of

both Adam and Allen.

“This is the only problem when you are mated to strong and influential women. You will either learn to

accept

it and support them as they face the challenges headlong throughout their lives, or you will be left angry

and frustrated at every turn. My suggestion to both of you is that you pay heed to a saying popular

among the humans; Happy wife, happy life.” He grinned, “Neither Ann nor Lexi are your average

females. Both of them are destined to rule, Ann over this kingdom as Alpha Queen, and one day, Lexi,

over my realm as the Daemon Queen. For that, they will need the support of their mates,

unconditionally. You cannot fight the threads of destiny, as much as you may want to.”

Allen looked for a moment as if he wanted to say something more, but a shout from the guards down

the corridor stopped him in his tracks.

“Beta Allen! She’s awake!”

Without another word Allen turned and bolted down the corridor to their room, rushing past the guards

and straight to her bedside.

Lexi didn’t look terrible, but she was definitely paler than normal and she seemed a little confused as

she pushed herself up into a sitting position and looked around at the bedroom furniture.

“What… why am I here? I was in the cells wasn’t I?” she murmured as her eyes slowly came to rest on

Allen’s concerned face.

“I’m right here Lexi.” He said reassuringly as she frowned at him.

“Well I can see that Allen, I’m not blind,” she answered in mild irritation, “What am I doing here?”

Alien’s shoulders seemed to sag slightly in relief. If she still had the energy to be snarky, then she

obviously wasn’t too badly affected by using her abilities.

“You passed out in the cells after… well, after you put an end to Jasper.” Allen said as gently as he

could.

Lexi snorted suddenly and smirked as she leaned back on the pillows.

“Oh good, I didn’t dream that then. I hope the bastard suffered as much as I think he did.” She spat as

her eye flashed dangerously.

“He… well I’m still not sure what exactly you did to him Lexi, but whatever it was, it saved my life. So

thank you.” Allen said quietly as he brought her hand to his l*ips and gently placed a k*iss on top of her

f*ingers.

She smiled softly at him, taking in every line of his handsome face and savoring every last detail of his

features.

She wanted to tell him how terrified she had been in that moment that she was too late to save him,

and how every part of her had screamed for the painful death and complete and utter annihilation of the

man that had brought so much pain and suffering to those she loved fiercely… but she couldn’t.

“Do you really think I would let you go that easily, hmm?” She grinned instead, even though really, she

wanted to sob with relief and fling her arms around him, to hold him tight against her and never let him

go again.

“Evidently not,” Allen smirked gently, “It looks like I’m destined to have you torment me forever.”

“And don’t you ever forget it, Beta-boy.” She whispered as her soul sang with happiness
