Chapter 4 – For She Was the Most Beautiful Thing

               

*Devins POV*

I stomped through the dungeon with only one goal in mind, to kill the faerie that dared to kill one of my men. Alphonso was one of my most loyal men; hard headed for sure, but strong and trustworthy. He was one of the few that rallied for me when I took over the as General of our military. One of our most brave soldiers, he was undefeated in battle, and was known to crush opponents in a matter of seconds. Only to be dragged to his death by some faerie whore. I saw his body when they brought it back to the castle, and immediately lost my dinner. His body was twisted and deformed in every direction possible, and the skin pulled taunt against his muscles. Deep red and purple wounds were everywhere branching across his body; almost like he had been struck by a hundred lightning bolts at once. Alphonso was so badly disfigured it was almost impossible to tell who he was. The only thing left untouched was his face, frozen in a painful and terrified scream. My blood boiled at the thought, and I could feel the heat coming into my face, flushing my skin. I rounded the corner and ran straight into one of the prison guards, his forehead connecting with my chest. He looked up at me ready to throw some fists, and his eyes rounded like the moon. I could feel the air as it left his body in a shaky breath, as he backed up into a small bow.

                “I need to be taken to the faerie.” I stated bluntly, ignoring his courtesy. I had no time for games today, but the guard shook his head slowly and moved in front of my path. I snorted at the feeble attempt to block me. Nothing was keeping me from my prize today.

                “Sincerest apologies sir, but I do not know who you speak of.” The guard squeaked, his voice betraying his lies. I leaned in towards him, and he shrank away from me like a little rabbit.

“WHERE IS SHE!” I raised my voice, and his face crumpled, almost defeated but loyal to his King none the less.

                ““Master your father said-Ooof!” I elbowed him in the stomach before he could finish the sentence, and he crumpled to the ground clutching his abdomen. I was tired of these games, I only hit him hard enough to knock him down, not that he was strong enough to keep me away anyway. There was only on Faerie cell on this side of the castle, so it was more than obvious where it was being kept. I walked quickly down the hall, and luckily did not come upon any more of my men. I could hear quiet voices coming from the chamber as I neared it, and at the sound of a women’s voice I knew it was the correct cell. My anger boiled over again, remembering Alphonso’s face. I’m going to make this bitch pay for what she did. I could smell blood as I approached the iron bars, and small smile twisted across my face. Alphonso may have been killed, but it seems like she didn’t get out all in one piece either. I stopped in front of the cell, and could hear a breath hitch. I peered into the cell, and could see two figures sitting in the darkness. A male about forty who was staring at me with wide eyes, with shaggy blond hair, and a thin build. The male was gently holding a woman who was chained to the wall, her head resting carefully on his shoulder. The girl had her back to me, her long mess of knotted black hair travelling down her back to pool onto the dirty floor of the cell. Thick curls hiding the shape of her body from my view, and thin pale arms stretched above her head locked into the iron shackles. I could see dried blood coming down from her wrists as the iron did what it did best, and tortured the faerie kind into submission. This was probably some old hag faerie that had been beaten after stealing something, and killed my guard in spite. I felt the anger and bile rise up in my chest again at the thought, as I spit out my words with as much venom as I could muster.

                “YOU!” My voice echoed around the small cell, bouncing around the walls. “YOU ARE THE ONE WHO KILLED ALPHONSO?!” I could see the man just barely start to shake, either in fear for himself or the women I was not sure of.  I paused for a response, but the women did not even flinch at my words, and she didn’t so much as attempt to turn to look at me. I could see the man getting more and more nervous as I stood there watching her, at this point trying my best not to gawk at her for her insolence. This girl had to be deaf, or an idiot, or possibly both. My uncontrollable temper got the best of me.  “TURN AND LOOK AT ME YOU EVIL BITCH!” Reeling from the disrespect I screeched, my voice slightly cracking and making me inwardly flinch at the sound. The embarrassment was short lived though at the women did the one thing I was not expecting, and giggled at my words. Blind red rage filled my vision as I slammed my hands against the bars of the cell. Vile, evil, and disgusting thing, I’ll get my hands around her throat and finish the job my men started. I slammed my fists into the bar again, trying to find anyway to access this monster when a small but firm voice rang out from the cell.

                “I apologize,” The male stated. “She hit her head a few hours ago, and has not completely recovered.” Clear, calm, and well spoken, but I could see the fear glinting off of his green shaded eyes. He was no longer shaking though, his face set in a mask of stone. Whoever this woman was to him, she was important. Important enough to talk back to a Prince. I rolled my eyes, this still sounded like an excuse to spare her life, and unlike my father, I was not one do so. An eye for an eye as the saying goes.

                “I don’t care if she is hurt or not,” I huffed, already tired of this conversation. She would be executed as soon as I walked away from the cell. “She has taken my most loyal soldier from me, and the debt will be paid.”

                “Most loyal solider?” A small voice rang out through the cell, so soft I almost missed it. My eyes slid to the women, and I watched her stiffen at the words. Slowly she turned her head to look at me. A small, pale, and flawless face was framed by her long black and curly hair. Her skin looked almost porcelain in the grimy lighting of the dark and damp cell. Thick pink lips that had a gash straight down the middle, taking nothing away from the permanent pouty frown. Bruising was splattered across her right cheek in every shade of purple and yellow, and crept up towards her eyes. Eyes like emeralds.  I was staring into the center of a dragons most prized gemstone, a deep pool of swirling green and silver. Eyes that were looking back into my own, and filled with such a rage and disgust it would have sent a chill down any normal human’s spine. Unfortunately for her, I was not just any normal man. I was Prince Devin Ben Avon, and born of the royal blood of the Kingdom Vura. Making me not only her master, but one of only two humans that cannot be affected by faery magic. She was the most beautiful thing I had ever laid my eyes on, and the deadliest. Despite what my father says about his newest pet, I will kill her before the end of tomorrow evening. A faery that powerful can never be allowed back into the living world, as it would bring the death and destruction to the entirety of the human race.

                “Until tomorrow,” I said quietly before turning on my heel and leaving without another word. I had plans, and they needed to be executed before I fell into the green abyss of her eyes forever.

    Chapter 56“Witches have been gone for over a hundred years Fern.” Terran spoke first, breaking the tension in the silent room. “They were killed in the wars so many years ago.”“How did they obtain their magic Terran?” My mother challenged, “I know you have some history books in this den of yours.” Terran let out an annoyed growl at her, and shook his head like a dog shaking water out of his fur. The action almost funny if it wasn’t for the seriousness of the situation.“They were normal humans that were gifted magic by the moon. From what I understand, there was no rhyme or reason to it, and sometimes it wasn’t even passed through bloodlines if the child was deemed unworthy.” Callum said, cocking his head to the side in thought.“This is nonsense.” I added, looking between the three of them. “I’ve never done a damn witchy thing in my life. What do witches even do anyway, cast curses at people who glare at them?” I waggled my fingers at Callum, and he jumped back as if I was throwing

    Chapter 55 I let out a war cry as I lunged for the women standing in the entryway of the Alpha’s office. Throwing my earth magic out in a quick blast around me, I formed deep trenches between everyone else in the room and the devil I set my sites on. No one was going to get in my way. I heard someone yelling my name, but let it skitter through my brain as I closed in on the brunette. Fingers flying out and wrapping tightly around her thin neck, before slamming her against the wall. She was taller than I was, but I pressed into her just the same, forcing her into the plaster hard enough to send pieces scattering in our wake. It was almost surprising that I didn’t push both of us through the wall with the sheer force I hit her with. I tightened my hand in a bruising grip around her soft skin, snarling like a beast close to her face. Sparks were flying around my fingertips, dancing against the milky color of her neck and I held back the urge to fry her completely. “How dare you.” The

    Chapter 54 The Alpha called an emergency meeting with all of us, as well as his closest and most trusted wolves. We met in the safe conference room as the day before, and I tried my best not to think about how Simon and I had defiled was seemed like almost every inch of this room. The thoughts still circling my mind even as the Alpha, and his two men pinned us with fierce glares from across the table. “Do they have any weaknesses? Did they give you a timeline to when they would be here? How many are there?” Terran shot in rapid fire at me, and I tried to answer to the best of my ability, but to be honest, I knew little about the Children except for the short time in their cave, and the couple of visits they so graciously paid me. “Iron is a weakness, just like all Faerie.” I started, and thought about the chilling time Moira had just barely saved my life from the herd of them in the cave. “I was able to kill one with my magic, but I had used ev

    Chapter 53 I woke wrapped in Simons body, so entwined that I didn’t know where he started and I ended. We had ended our little encounter in the office three orgasms later, and only after Keagan had awkwardly knocked on the door and told us to find a different room. We had ended up in Simon’s room shortly after, where he tucked me tightly into his body, and we both fell asleep in an exhausted and naked heap. His breath was even and warm against the skin of my neck, as he continued to sleep. He had chosen to leave the following week to meet Marcus at the gate with the two wolves of the Gold Moon Pack, and he needed as much peace as he could get before they began tracking down Moira in the absolute pits of hell. My heart squeezed uncomfortably at the thought of him going into danger without me, the thought of losing another person in my life scratching at the back of my mind. If he failed, I not only lost him, but Marcus and Moira as well. Everything about this was absolutely fucked,

    Chapter 52 “We cannot send my pack into a vampire den with absolutely no information, or even knowing if your friend is still alive at this point. I understand that she is your family Keagan, but my hands are tied right now. My top priority is protecting this pack from Ben Avon, and that has proven to be much harder than any of us anticipated.” Terran said firmly, but not without sympathy. We had been at the Gold Moon pack for a week now; gathering strength and speaking to the Alpha about our plans for rescuing our sweet Moira from Alaric and his Night Walker clan. It had been a whirlwind of meetings, greeting the pack members, and finding time to curl up in one of the very large beds that Terran had offered to each of us in his personal home. Everything had come to a head when Marcus was able to get past Devin and Ben Avons’ defenses to send word that he had located the den of the vampires, and was going to begin preparations to move that way. Knowing that he would be going alone

    Chapter 51 “Aspen.” His voice was rough, husky. The deep tones scraping against my head like a metal rake. Goosebumps chasing the magic that was wrapping and warping itself around my arms; rearing its head in protection against the monster in front of me. My fight or flight kicked in, and I began to struggle furiously against his arms that were holding me tight to his chest. I could hear my name being screamed repeatedly from behind me, but it was a dull noise as I struggled to get away. “Aspen Stop!” Devin’s voice came out in a strangled order, as I slammed my foot into the ground, forcing my magic down my leg and into the ground. Dust flew out from under my foot, and a booming crack sounded from underneath us. Then we were falling. My entire body pitched forward, and Devin’s arms loosening from around my waist. I pushed his chest away from me, putting distance between us before landing to the ground with a hard thump. My shoulder taking the brunt of the impact, as I landed on my
