Hello everyone. This chapter is going to be only Lucas' POV. The next chapter will be only Alexandria's POV at the same time frame but from her point of view. I'm like 70% sure this book is almost over. The next update will be an Author's Note. Then I'll post the next chapter. Love you all. (Btw did anyone see Descendants 2 oml!!!ðð)

Punch Punch, left hook, kick, shove, push, side turn, right hook, punch, block, block, punch, lower punch, kick! "Lucas!" Janelle yells. Punch, punch, kick, sho- "Dad!! Janelle found something!" Tj yells. I stop as soon as I realize they're there and I wipe my face of the sweat with my towel. "Oh, Sorry Elle, boys. What's up?" I ask. "So I checked through the archives in the library and turns out the marsh belonged to the old owners of the castle. Turns out we are owners, technically speaking. I found the plans for the house. This is dated only one year prior to Alexandria getting the land. Here is the inside and here's the marsh. I'm thinking if we go in, in small groups and cover ourselves with the mud and water in the marsh, it'll be hard for them to catch our scent" Janelle explains, looking at me.
"That's a good idea. As well as the Demon King and the Fae Queen are going to help us hide our scents but this is also good. Alexander, have you made sure everyone is accounted for? How many are going?" I say as Alex comes over. "Yes everyone is accounted for. About all of them volunteered but only 150 are going of nearly 2,000" Alex says. "Good. We have 15 from each leader, 30 vampires, and 150 werewolves. That's 345 or so. That's enough to surround the marsh. I want those pieces of shit dead" I say. Everyone nods and I walk to my kids. "Boys, listen to me clearly"
They nod. "Whatever happens to me, I'm going to bring your mother back. I want you to promise me you'll take care of your mother and make sure she takes care of her duties as Alpha and Queen. When it's time, on your 18th birthday, you five will become Kings and rule over the Vampire kingdom and the pack" I tell them. "Nothing will happen dad. Hopefully, this goes as planned and we will all be together when the time comes" Tyler says. I nod and hug my kids. They hug back and the girls come in as well.
"I want you to stay here and to defend the pack. The elders and our warriors will be here. If anyone plans to attack we'll be ready. You five are our protectors here" I tell them. They nod and the girls take them away to go eat some lunch. "Luke! Maddox is outside!" Janelle yells. "Let him in before anyone sees him!" I yell back. I walk behind Janelle and when Maddox comes in, he arrives with his mate, his child, and his pack. He bows and I motion for him to rise. "I owe my life and my family's life to Alexandria. Please take my mate and child in and let me battle by your side. My pack is grateful to her and they will fight alongside you" Ryder Maddox says. I nod, knowing he was honest and wanted to repay her.
"June! Take Mrs. Maddox and her child to the others. Carlos, lead Alpha Maddox and his pack to the others. Inform them of our plan. The others should be here soon with their people" I command. Carlos nods and leads Maddox and his pack to the training grounds. I make sure the doors are locked and then I use my speed and run to the section that isn't covered. I hear my soldiers running and in less than a minute they arrive, their armor majorly blocking their hearts. I inform them of where they have to go and they begin walking.
They all successfully cross the barrier and they salute before running to the grounds. People begin arriving outside the gate and I make sure all the leaders are there with their people before speaking. "Welcome. Thank you all for joining me to save my Queen and the top Alpha. Everyone will go through the barrier. The barrier will turn red and not let the person in if anyone is the traitor. If you may step into line behind your leaders" I say. Everyone nods and does as I had said. First steps up Sir Tyler of Demons. He steps in and is soon followed one by one by his people.
Once they are all through he nods and follows Jane, who proceeds to lead them to the training grounds. They seem to pull darkness from nowhere as they walk. Madame Sunil flutters into the barrier successfully and her fae follows, flying all the way to the training grounds, their heavy armor not bothering them one bit. Everyone goes in with no problem until the oracles. Oracle Olga goes in and she is followed by her lady in waiting, Sahash. The barrier turns a light shaded red and she is instantly grabbed by Carlos, who bares his fangs. Others pass by quickly, almost scared. The final Oracle who is noticeably the "omega", steps into the territory and the barrier lights up but then shuts off and repeats.
"You are the Oracle that called. Am I wrong?" I ask. She shakes her head and sighs. "GÃo, take her to the cells. You, Sahash, why has this light turned red? What traitorous act have you committed?" I ask. She admits to having told Kyle about some sort of Prophecy. Olga gasps and slaps her. Within moments, her guards take the traitor to the prisons in her palace. Everyone goes to the field and they begin some simple training while Alexander and Janelle begin planning where everything will happen.

"Now if everyone will look at the screen, here is a visual of the marsh from a satellite. Here is the design of the building and we suspect it wasn't renovated. From someone who was there, we know the Alpha is being held in the basement with her hands tied by silver cuffs. She has also injected wolfsbane daily and every four hours due to the body a werewolf possesses. Our target is mostly in his bedroom here or at the back, with a throne.
"No one but King Lucas will kill Kyle. That is the agreement. Everyone else, you may kill. By what our informant said, Alpha's father has been taking care of her by Kyle's orders. Our Alpha may be strong but we don't know if she could have succumbed to her father's will. Just in case, the Alpha wants to condemn him, he must remain alive. We know from the council, all the children were taken. So there will be no child killings. On the paper you got is a letter. That letter is for the team your in. Listen to the team leaders and follow them" June instructs.
June begins saying leaders and I catch my name a little bit later. I walk forward and different types of Supernatural creatures follow me. Once everyone is ready, instructions are told. We begin to move. Since witches/wizards were able to use charms, they helped those who weren't as quick. We arrive at the marsh by sunset as planned.
I smell nothing until the necklace mom had given me begins to shine and I smell Alexa's scent. I nod and we watch them for a bit. We each take turns covering up in mud and the charms. I smile. Soon, I'll get her back. Just as the sun is going down and the moon and darkness come, we know it's time to attack. The Night makes us vampires stronger, the Moon helps werewolves, except some rouges, and wizards/witches. The wilderness helps the fae. Combined, all help us make this a more likely success. With a silent call from me in confirmation, and then from every other leader, indicating they're ready, we attack.
*********
We run into the field and some of us jump over the marsh while others go around. We attack the guards who manage to scream before they're killed. We go in and many werewolves of the other side shift into their wolves. We all attack and well, it is a big number. I hear more rouges approaching from outside and I scream for some to go. The people on the other side are soon dead and I ignore them. I run down the stairs, closer to her scent. I run and when I try to open the door it doesn't open.
I hiss in frustration and I will my vampire side to come out. My fangs grow even bigger and I begin kicking the door. When it still doesn't open up, I yell for Lord Drakon. He chants a quick spell and the door opens. I run in to see Kyle holding Alexandria, who is obviously weak right now, with her father standing there. "Ah, what a pleasure. So you decided to join the party? It doesn't matter that you crashed. It's fine. Right, my love?" Kyle says. "Fuck yourself, Kyle," my beloved says. "What language. Don't worry, when we're out of here, I'll teach you how to properly talk to your mate. Don't let him get past me Richard" Kyle orders. He nods and as Kyle turns, trusting her father, he moves aside and I run at Kyle.
I attack him from the back, making him yelp in pain, he let's go of Alexandria. I bite him harshly around the jugular. He tries to push me away but I keep a tight grip. Once he's subdued, I make sure to crack his neck, leaving him. I go to where Alexandria was dropped but she's gone. I hiss and run out the door. I smell for her and her father. I run to a small room where upon arrival, he is with Alexa holding some pictures and placing them into a bag. Alexa turns and spots me. I run to her and she hugs me back. "Hello," She says.
"Alexa, what you did was dumb and stupid, but courageous. I love you so much and don't ever do that again. Let's go, Kyle's dead" I smile, ready to be over with this. We can be happy now. "No, he isn't. The prophecy is still in course. He won't die until killed by his mate. He may have rejected Alexa and her him but... his wolf is too attached. Now that he knows of how strong she really is and of my grandchildren, he won't stop. You have scents that are similar yet different. Why are they close?" Her dad says and then asks me.
I'm confused. "The kids. I thought I told you not to bring them!! Or you!" Alexa yells. "I didn't. I told them to stay at home! I even made sure they were!" I protest. She hits me. "Well, apparently you didn't! How long until this thing wears off?" Alexa yells. "Due to my calculations, I assume ten to twenty minutes tops," Her dad says softly. "Twenty minutes!? What are you waiting for then? Go make sure Kyle doesn't escape! Find those rascals and bring them to me!" Alexa yells, unable to move. I nod and run. I make sure to lock the door and post two people. Then I look around until I find the kids. Tyler is on the floor shaking, while Stephanie tries to help him.
"Kids! What're you doing here?!" I yell. I grab them all and take them to the room. Once confirmed that everyone was killed, I instruct everyone to retreat back to the forest and wait for further orders. I walk in to see Alexa telling the kids they're in trouble. "Well, we aren't sorry mom! You were in trouble and we had to come help! Plus, Tyler says Kyle is going through the second stage of this thing. So you have to kill him quickly before he becomes half immortal and powerful-" Tj begins. Tyler screams while hitting his head.
"Too late!! Mom! You must kill him, you must reject him once more and...ugh! You must.. you must forgive him. Make him understand he must leave and die! You must kill him once he understands. His wolf is no longer cooperating with him. He just wants a mate. You must get to Kyle, not his wolf. Kill him. Only this will kill him" Tyler yells. Tyler hands Alexa the silver dagger making sure not to touch the silver part, her dagger that she'd said belonged to her mom and her dad gave her. She holds it tightly.
"I still don't have my strength, but I'll manage. I want you all to leave and wait outside. Don't come in for any reason" Alexa demands. They all nod and a roar are heard. Her dad quickly blesses her before taking the kids and nodding at me. I kiss her as soon as they're out of the room. She kisses me back with as much passion. When we pull away for her to breath, I kiss her forehead. "Please, I don't want to lose you" I beg. "And you won't. This'll be the last time I face Kyle. I have to or he'll torment us for the rest of our lives. Now you go and don't come back until I go out. Got that?" She tells me. I nod slowly. I grab her hand and I look at her. She smiles.
I let my fangs grow and I bite. I make sure to take out all the wolfsbane in her system and spit it out. I then let some of my venoms into her system. I pull away and go to her neck. I bite her and she moans. I make sure to mark her and lick her wounds so it heals. I smile lightly. I bare my neck and her canines come out. She proceeds to mark me and I smile. "You're finally bearing my mark. Don't die, or I'll be mad" I say. The last time, the mark had disappeared because of how long we were away from one another, but no more. "You got it, dude," she says, winking and I remember what she loves. (Full Houseð) "I love you," I tell her. "I love you too," she says softly.
I kiss her again before turning and walking away from my Queen.

HELLO!!! SOOOOO sorry! I have been super lazy and too excited for school to start. (Yes I like school) Anyways, I had also been procrastinating and devising how to finish the book. As well as I really had writer's block. I couldn't think. It happened a lot that I'd go from one draft to the other. On one I'd write half a chapter then become undecided so I changed to another and only did like a sentence or even a word but I'm back and I successfully (more or less) finished this chapter. Only a few more chapters left. Yes, a few more!!! Then I'll correct all my grammar errors. As much as possible. I also... have a book that I want to publish later on buuuut... for this next one, well it's all completed but I'll check for grammar errors. Ok enough of this... also 5.04k baby!!!!! AH!!!! IM SO HAPPY! THANK YOU, EVERYONE!!!!
With Love,
