[Max’s POV]“Alpha, I have Elder Braden on the phone,” Beta Jason said while handing me his cell phone. “Elder Braden, we are at the front gates of Kali’s fortress, and the magical ones almost have his shields down,” I spoke while watching more troops march out of the gate.“The other elders have warriors in place in and around the cities to guard their territories as well. I have put in an order to the Governor to utilize our armed forces. Citizens are being warned now to go to shelters or in reinforced areas of their homes,” Elder Braden informed me.“How are we going to explain the supernaturals to the humans? We need to use the military as the last resort and try to allow our supernatural armies to do most of the fighting to limit human casualties and exposure,” I said.“I have the same concerns. Humans are not strong enough, even with our advancements in weaponry. It is also incredibly dangerous to use heavy weapons and explosives in the cities since they are so densely populated

[Damen’s POV]For a moment I took in the scene below me. The blood and gore were everywhere. The moans of the dying and injured mixed with the guttural grunts of many who were still left fighting were horrid, but I was not disgusted. Sulfur and ash from the fires that t rage through the city filled the night's air.As I hovered above this battlefield, several opposing demons flew at me simultaneously, each sinking their razor-sharp claws into the gaps of my armor on my legs. Their putrid stench reeks of rotten flesh.I swung my sword and managed to dismember one of the demon’s arms. The demon’s arm landed with a thump, the sound of breaking bones and the gush of blood as her arm separated from her torso. She screamed in agony, as she fell, grabbed her arm, and writhed on the ground.The other managed to fly up behind me and just as he attempted to claw at my neck, I turned quickly, dug my fist through his leathery chest, ripped his still-beating heart out, and crushed it in my hand.As

[Gia’s POV]The lava from my core went straight through my cervix and engulfed Kali’s dick with a fire so hot that it could burn hell itself. The heat is scorching, and I can feel the raw power of my bridge radiating from within me.Kali's body convulses in agony as my molten lava rips through his shriveling erection. I opened my eyes and watched as his screams of terror ripped through the air, and I revel in his fear and pain as I watch him suffer for raping me.As Kali attempts to remove his digit from me, I clench my pelvis bones to prevent him from exiting just yet. My lava-filled rage intensifies, and I scream out in pain and fury as I watch his form desperately trying to escape.I am filled with satisfaction knowing that the wrath of my bridge is burning through Kali's body and soul. I want him to feel every molecule of pain that he put me and everyone else through. My eyes remain fixed on the demon as his screams echo in the air; I can feel the heat radiating off his skin as it

[Gia’s POV]Looking in the direction of Thanatos, or as I prefer to call him, "Death" and being careful to not make eye contact again, questions dove to the forefront of my mind. What is his purpose here? Why is he following the orders of a supposed lesser being, a demon? If he knew what Kali did to me in this room, why didn’t he stop him?“Are you truly that vile, to allow someone to be sexually assaulted on your watch,” I questioned him with an angered glare. He stopped removing the chains from my wrists, looked down at me, with a stare so cold it could freeze time itself, and replied, “You were not on my watch, and I told you that I do not have my full powers anymore, angel. I am in debt to Kali, so what he does or does not do is not for me to question, he said.“Nice of you to avoid taking any responsibility, Death. I know he is not the only powerful being in all the realms, dimensions, whatever is out there” I spat.He reached down with stealth-like speed, grabbed my chin with hi

[Damen's POV] I was in the lead as we ran as quickly as possible to the fortress door. I saw the door in front of me firmly shut, the door was an unwelcoming slab of steel with a dark red fluid running through engraved crevices on it. The moment I went to reach out to grab the door and open it, the force of another ward threw me back. My nostrils flare as I inhale the smell of burning flesh, both mine and the ward. I could almost taste the scorched skin smell on my lips. “Damnit! Get Trinity, there is another ward we need to bring down,” I yelled to Max, Sam, and Jason. The ward left a scorch mark on my right hand and thankfully it is just my hand, which should heal soon. I gathered myself, stood up, and dusted my backside off. Taking a deep breath, I focused on the ward blocking the door. My mind was racing with ways to break into the fortress but none of them seemed viable. Max grew increasingly agitated as time passed, his growls of frustration echoing against the fortress walls
