Ban And Jericho Novels & Stories

Caiden shouted. Jarus stopped and glanced back through his shoulder. “I will gather my men and rally them to Elijah and Lady Sophia. They must know that the Bane of the Dragons had been awakened.” Sophia didn't understand. Turn him back to what? She wracked her brain trying to figure out what exactly he meant when it dawned on her. A smile cracked her face, and she sprinted toward the battle, pushing magic into her feet to increase her pace to an ungodly speed. She barely heard Caiden’s voice calling out to her.

she tried to touch me, but I shoved her hands off. "I'm not here for you." I walked past her before I even had time to take notice of the reaction on her face. I went straight to the fighting arena. Two men were beating each other bloody inside the ring, while cheers erupted around them. Jericho sat there like a king, enjoying the violence. "Jericho," I said. He turned to me, and the smile on his face quickly disappeared. "Bloodbath," he said slowly. "What a surprise." He leaned back. "Didn't think I’d see you here again after killing someone in my club."

Jericho stood outside, engrossed in his task of inspecting various items within the palace. As he meticulously examined each object, his thoughts wandered to Xena, the concubine he couldn't get out of his mind. A mischievous smile danced upon his lips, fueled by an irresistible urge to be with her again. Jericho couldn't help but ponder when he would have her fully, without the need for clandestine encounters. At that moment, he regretted not claiming Xena as his concubine before his brother, Alpha Malik.

The light surrounding them intensified, casting away the shadows of despair that threatened to creep in. Finally, after what felt like an eternity, the explosions ceased. The last bomb detonated with a deafening roar, but the barrier held firm. Marissa opened her eyes, breathing heavily as she surveyed the scene. The clearing was a mess of debris and smoke, but the pack was safe, encased in the shimmering light of her magic. They erupted into cheers, their relief palpable.

Not only had they disobeyed and put themselves in danger, but they had also brought back a stranger, and this wasn’t any stranger—this was their half-sister, Willow Kai Everest. I clenched my eyes shut, feeling a headache began to form. The reality of the situation hit me like a blow to the stomach, leaving me at a loss for words.

Never in my life had I been confused mid-action. Just as I turned toward Jessica, I heard a clicking sound behind me. I looked back. Jericho stood a few feet away, holding a remote control in one hand and a pistol in the other. “This,” he said, smiling like he’d achieved his life-long goal, “this is the perfect scenario for vengeance.” He laughed. I watched him, my chest heaving. What the fuck was this bastard up to?! “There’s a timer on the rope mechanism. In sixty seconds, both ropes will snap. But you have a choice.” He grinned at me. “Cut one early, and you might save one. If you don’t... they both die.”

“Alpha.” Kael nodded toward the chair. “What is it?” General Thorne stayed standing. “A recruit. Younger, but promising. He might be ready for the Shadows.” That caught Kael’s attention. “Name?” “Jarek,” General Thorne replied. “He’s been training hard since the last ambush. Smart, fast, and shows no fear in the ring. If you agree, I’ll prepare him for the initiation.” Kael thought it over for a moment, then nodded. “Do it. And give the Shadows the day off from drills. Let them prepare properly.”

“You liar!” Everyone turned to me and Draven stepped closer and his face was hard and unreadable, like I meant nothing now. “Please,” I whispered. “Please, don’t do this.” No one answered and then Draven said the words that ripped the ground from under me. “Nyra Veylin is hereby banished from Shadowfang Pack.” I froze and the world around me went silent. “No…” My voice came out broken. “No, please.” I then grabbed the bars and pushed my face between them as far as I could.

“A vurhan and the dark bender working together. I never thought I would see the day. One thing I know is that the keepers of the covenant and the Vurhans are sole enemies, and no matter the situation, one would never be willing to work with the other. I am guessing you are not fighting me willingly, are you… dark bender?” Tyndale asked, walking slowly towards the duo. With each step, the mud below his soles boiled. Daito twitched his eyebrows a little. The words seemed to be getting through to him “Ah yes, I get it now. They have you under a slave emblem! No wonder you are this weak, needing the help of that vile creature to fight me!” Jericho shrieked back, it seemed to understand Tyndale's

he replied as we shook hands. I opened my mouth to reply but didn't get a chance as multiple growls tore through the air. Suddenly, Griffin was by my side. Skol was pushing Mom behind him and Cedric had Jasmine in his arms. Nik and Ember were on either side of Iris and I looked back to see Penny behind Dolph and Theo with Lance. Evan, Alyssa and Chance hurried to get in between us and Jericho. "Jericho is one of our allies. Remember, Lilly? You met him when he came to sign the treaty." Chance explained.
