CHAPTER 54

Analise's POV

The whole clearing was quiet despite the number of people present there. The wind whistled, the dust particles around us flying and creating swirls around. It was as if we were in some kind of movie where we were the main characters and the trees, stars and moon were the audience, waiting to know the ending of the story.

On one side of the clearing stood our group consisting of demons, dragons, witches, dark angels, light angels and some werewolves. I stood in the middle and front of the group along with Alexander who was holding my hands. On our sides, stood the other leaders all ready to fight. Behind us, stood our army, well half of them since a lot of them are currently hiding in the forest, waiting to join the war.

On the other side, right opposite to us stood the other group consisting of vampires, werewolves, griffins, giants and even centaurs. From where did centaurs come?

In front stood the one only vampire king, the staff in his hand. Behind him stood the people who I called family along with King Leon and other alphas, all of their eyes glowing.

"Well, well the day had finally come, hasn't it?" King Knox's voice carried through the clearing, a mocking tone in his voice.

"We cannot wait to kill you King Knox and put an end to this madness of yours." King Tarsal said in an equally authoritative voice and King Knox.

"I cannot wait to see you try." He laughed like a maniac, his red eyes glowing. "The odds are clearly in my favour here. Did your friend Elijah not tell you how I fooled him Tarsal?" King Tarsal's eyes narrowed at the disrespect shown by King Knox as he dropped all formalities.

"Your army seems fairly small compared to mine." He mocked and I rolled my eyes which he apparently caught as his attention fell on me.

"If it is not the black she wolf. Pleased to finally meet you Princess." His mocking tone remained as he addressed me.

"You will regret meeting me by the end of this war." I simply said.

"Well, let this war begin so that we can see whether that is true or not." He smirked at me. With a hand motion, all hell broke loose.

As they headed towards us, we all got into our fighting stances, eyes glowing and ready to attack. My eyes changed colour as I felt Crescent's presence surrounding me. We all charged towards them as one.

'Be careful little wolf.' Alexander said through the link, throwing a glance at me. 'And give him hell.'

'I will teddy bear.' I replied. 'Take care of yourself.'

As I saw the first group of vampires come towards me, I used my magic and lifted them off the floor and snapped their neck throwing them on the next group of vampires that were coming my way. I used my speed and dashed in between the vampires and werewolves, punching and kicking them in the way until I bumped into a giant.

"You've got to be kidding me." I said to myself. I rolled to the side as he attempted to stomp on me. Directing my hands towards him, I focused my mind on the soil and a second later, it opened before enclosing over his feet. He lost his balance, falling down and reverting back to his human form.

I jumped on my feet as I felt someone behind me. I used my foot and kicked them in the guts. Turning around, I smirked.

"Still trying to put back that ego of yours that I shattered?" I mocked as Derek's eyes shone. As he shifted and charged at me, I moved my hands, causing a strong wind current to hit him before turning into a tornado. With my hands, I directed the tornado around, trapping more people before releasing it, causing them to go flying away.

As I fought some other werewolves, I spotted my grandmother amongst the crowd of bodies as she fought my mother.

'Family drama' Crescent commented, making me let out a laugh despite the situation.

"Fuck." I hissed out as someone kicked me in the stomach while I was fighting off a griffin. I got on my feet, grunting as the pain faded away. I nearly let out another groan at the sight of Ivory and Rayna standing in front of me.

"Look who it is." Rayna said as she twirled a silver dagger in her hand.

"Stop with the boring talk." I simply said as my eyes changed colour.

"I will kill you!" Rayna said in a murderous tone as she shifted, charging at me. Just as she was about to hit me, another wolf attacked her- Evelyne.

Well, good for Evelyne since she had an enmity to settle with Rayna.

"Now that she is gone, let's take care of you." I said in a cold voice, glaring at Ivory. "Future queen." I smirked.

"You are dying." She said as she dashed towards me with her speed, stabbing me with s similar silver dagger that Rayna had in the stomach. "See?" She smiled as if she just won.

I pushed her away, making her stumble as I let out a dark chuckle, laughing to myself. She looked at me, confused.

I pulled the dagger out of me, a sadistic smile on my face at the sight of it coated with my blood. "Tsk tsk. If only you had done your research properly." She was still processing my words. "I am not affected by silver." I mocked and her eyes widened slightly.

"But you are." I smirked at her.

Before you could react, the dagger was already in her stomach. I let her body fall to the ground, taking the dagger out of her.

"Get her!" I heard King Knox's voice from behind me. He was pointing towards me and several of his people turned in my direction. Before they could reach me, several demons stepped in front of me.

"We got your back Ana." Diana called back as they clashed with the vampires.

"Thank you." I turned around, ducking just in time and narrowly escaping getting hit by a centaur.

"Cresent are you in the mood to play?"

'Is that even a question?' She asked enthusiastically.

I closed my eyes and shifted in my black wolf as my eyes glowed silver. I snarled at them and ran towards them, my paws digging the dry soil under me. I pounced on the first one, biting it along the neck and he fell to the ground, shifting back to its original form. I bit the other one in his leg and we toppled to the floor, letting out a cry. The next one hit me in the stomach. I let out a powerful howl before lunging at him and burying my jaws in his stomach. The one left was already being taken care by the werewolves on our side. I howled at them as thank you before taking the dagger in jaws. I shifted back and said a spell so that I would have my clothes back on me.

Holding the dagger in my hands, I made my way towards the Vampire king, stabbing the werewolves in the process. I stood just a few feet away from them but between us, was a human wall of vampires. "Okay you can attack me but you will regret it later." I shrugged

It only seemed to anger them as I saw their glowing red eyes and they attacked me. I grabbed on by the neck and snapped it. Another one came from the side but I pushed him away using my magic. I lifted some of them from the floor and threw them away where the other witches took care of them. I grabbed the last one by the neck and ripped his heart out of him with my bare hands.

"Did you really think they could keep me away from killing you?" I asked King Knox as he glared at me.

"Oh no. I know exactly what you are capable." As he spoke, I heard a loud noise, signalling the rest of our army was joining the war. It could only mean that we were losing many of our people. "I want you for a reason. I just wanted to see if you actually live up to what they say about black she wolves."

Letting his words fall on deaf ears, I moved on with our plan as three witches, including Queen Elena, stood behind him. They did their spells, throwing fire balls at him which he skilfully dodged but his focus from me did not waver.

Sensing their next move, he directed the staff towards two of the witches, petrifying them. Queen Elena looked at the two in horror as their skin turned into stone slowly, each new piece taking them closer to their last breath.

"Not so confident now huh?" He mocked as he took in my expression.

"You wish." I spat as I focused my attention on the ground underneath him. It shook violently as it started crumbling before spikes emerged from under it. He jumped away from it and at the same time, the wind picked up by my command, sending him flying to the side.

As he got back on his feet, he used the staff on me. I missed it narrowly, falling on the ground. Grunting, I got up, running towards him and shifting into Cresent mid air. I landed on him with my paws on his shoulders.

I snarled at him btu was kicked off. I got back on my paws, baring my teeth at my attacker- King Leon. I pounced on him as we rolled on the ground. He was in his human form, making it easier for me.

"You have one chance and I won't kill you." I said as I shifted in my human form as he pinned me down.

"You all need to die." He said between gritted teeth.

"You just lost your chance." Before he could say anything, I reached between us, ripping his heart out. Several painful cries were let out by the griffins for the loss of their leader but we all knew people would die today.

Griffins flew over us as they retreated, one of them coming to pick up the body of their fallen leader. I bowed my head in respect and the warrior mirrored my action.

"Now before it leads to more death, I will kill you." I said with venom dripping from my words. "Just give up. You won't win."

As I neared him, it got harder to doge his attacks since his view of me got clearer. He motioned to someone in the crowd to tackle me and by the time I realised who it was, it was too late.

A huge body collided with me, the force sending me rolling. I fell on the ground, feeling another dagger in my stomach as I laid there. I let out a grunt, pushing myself up, my breathing heavy.

I removed the dagger, letting out a sigh. As my eyes fell on King Knox, my eyes widened as my heart skipped a beat. The staff was aimed at me as I saw the light from the crystal ball on top of it moving in my direction.

As I was about to get on my feet to dodge theattack, someone else wrapped their hands around me, shielding me from the blowas they took in on temself.
