Bonds at War: The Virgin is Mine Novel

Chapter 278 Spells TESSA +5 Free Coins After saying those words , guards materialized from the shadows of the estate , pouring into every doorway , every hallway , every crack in the stone walls . Their boots thundered against the marble floor , shields raised , armor gleaming beneath the torchlight . In the blink of an eye , we were surrounded . Row after row of soldiers pressed in , a steel circle locking us in place . There were too many of them to count , and though we weren't outnumbered , their presence was still overwhelming .

It didn't feel like they were mere wizards but instead , fortresses . Zaria reveled in the moment . She let out a sharp laugh that captured my attention . " This is fun ," she sang . Her smile widened when I glared at her , and I realized she had been waiting for that reaction all along . " Enough of this ! " Cade exclaimed . He stepped forward , his entire presence blazing with the authority of the Praetor . " You will not get away with what you are doing , " he declared . His words struck something in me , a reminder of why he had risen so far and so quickly .

His power wasn't just in his fists or his wolf - it was in his voice , in the conviction he carried that made others believe , even in the face of impossible odds . Azalea , however , only leaned back on her throne . " Such a great aura , " she mused . " You're right . I can't control you yet , little Praetor . But I will soon . " She lifted her hand , twirling her fingers around everyone in the room . " In fact , all of you ... have such a great aura . " Her gaze drifted across the room - over Rowan , Elias , Abel , and Cade - lingering on each one with predatory interest .

" True Alphas , are you not ? " The words slithered across my skin . I clenched my fists at my side , resisting the urge to move closer to Rowan and shield him from her eyes . " Ahh ... " she exhaled , her eyes glimmering with hunger . " I can feel the power coursing through you . So strong . So pure . So ripe ." " I'll let you succumb to my strength ." Then , she stood , raising her arms . The air itself seemed to bow toward her . She spoke , her voice layered with echoes that did not belong to this realm . Words poured from her mouth in a tongue so ancient it burned my ears to hear it .

" Fac eos surgere Fac eos meos Mea potestas ibi est , tantum quantum mea est Ad tenebras afferendas . 1/3 11:27 Mon , 29 Sept Chapter 278 Spells Ego sum summus .

The runes on the guards ' armors lit up , burning crimson . The soldiers roared in unison . Their bodies stiffened , and then moved like puppets pulled by strings .

Azalea's laughter cut through the chaos . I stumbled back a step , but she held onto my hand . The power radiating from her was suffocating . Her eyes gleamed with victory as she raised both hands higher . " This , " she whispered , " is only the beginning ." Her nails dug into my skin , and her eyes bore into mine . " Now , " she whispered , low enough for only me to hear . " Detoxify me . I need it . Give me more . " I wanted to pull away , to spit in her face , but the darkness pressing against my chest left me no choice . She forced my hand to hers , and a pulse ran between us .

I gasped as her corruption poured into me , black tar winding through my veins , draining my strength while she brightened , her body glowing with vitality . It was like pouring poison into myself , and yet I couldn't stop . My knees trembled , sweat slicked down my temple . Around us , the world exploded into chaos . Cade roared , shifting partially , his claws gleaming with his Alpha strength as he tore through armored soldiers . Rowan , his face bloodied but unyielding , fought like a beast unleashed , blades flashing in his hands .

Abel's aura blazed , his voice commanding even as shadows battered against him . Every strike of theirs met unnatural resistance , every blow countered with doubled ferocity by soldiers who were monsters wrapped in Azalea's power . It wasn't a fight . It was a massacre . I wanted to join them . I was already planning my escape . I knew that I was feeding this dark energy by detoxifying it . If I moved away right now , then she will cease to- I suddenly felt cold steel graze my throat . My eyes widened as I felt his presence . Kyle .

His arm wrapped tight around my body , his blade pressing against my skin , the edge close enough that one wrong breath would spill my blood . " You're not going anywhere ." " Kyle ," I choked , twisting in his hold , but he only pressed tighter . " Let me go . You don't have to do this ! " Zaria's laugh cut through the sound of steel clashing and spells erupting like firecrackers . She leaned against the chaos as though it were a festival meant for her amusement . " Ah , this is my dream come true , " she crooned , her grin widening as she savored every scream .

Look at you , little lamb , so desperate , so trapped . Isn't it beautiful ? " I glared at her , heart hammering , fury fighting against fear . " You're insane " But she only tilted her head , her smirk deepening . " Maybe . Or maybe I'm the only one who can see what's real . This is the world we were promised .

Chaos , power , and your suffering as the crown ." I jerked against Kyle's hold , fighting for even a scrap of freedom , but the blade bit against my skin , and I froze , feeling the sting of blood bead along my neck . The battle around us grew worse . Abel was knocked to one knee . Rowan staggered , a dozen blackened soldiers swarming him like wolves . Cade roared , his claws tearing through armor , but for every soldier he brought down , two more surged forward , empowered by Azalea's endless well . Rowan's planning had gone down the drain because there was nowhere else to exit from .

Therefore , he proceeded with protecting Arden .. However , even with all of them fighting with all of their might , there was an obvious thought in the room . We were losing. Light and shadow clashed so violently that it blinded me , and through it all , Azalea laughed , drunk on her power and my unwilling sacrifice . Was this how it was going to end ? Did we come here just to be massacred - all of us ? Just then , through the roar of chaos , the screams of the wounded , and the triumphant shriek of Azalea came a voice . A small and innocent voice .

Despite its light timbre , it cut through everything like the first drop of rain in a desert . "... Mommy ? " The word echoed , rippling across the estate , and the world stilled . My heart stopped . Azalea froze , causing the soldiers to freeze , too , their heads twitching toward the sound . Rowan's blade halted inches from an enemy's throat . Cade's claws stilled in the chest of a soldier who suddenly looked lost . I turned my head slowly , my eyes widening . There , at the far end of the estate's shattered hall , stood a child . Not just any child , but Calla - my daughter .
