Chapter 709  Content

Ileus glared at Ur'ham who was still pinned to the floor by his magic. His left hand went to his baldric from where he took out the jāmbia.

Ur'ham's eyes flew wide open. "What are you doing?" he asked, his voice laced with fear. On the outside, he could hear screams and blood curdling cries of his band of men who were getting torched by the Mozias. His gaze went to Haldir who was staring at him with cold eyes and then to the huge brown wolf who was standing right beside Ileus.

In one swift motion, Ileus hurled his dagger to the demon's stomach where it lodged itself deep. Ur'ham cried loudly. Hearing him, one of his mates came inside, his wings flapping powerfully. Ileus turned to the demon. Magic crackled on his upper arm and sizzled like red tendrils that coiled around his arms. He hurled the fire at the demon, hitting his eyes first. The demon shrieked with pain. Another shot of fire struck his wings in zigzag patterns. The demon was slammed back some twenty feet away on the ground. He was seen running inside the thick forest, as fire engulfed him completely.

When Ileus looked back at Ur'ham, the demon's face was all scrunched up in pain. He was groaning in pain as blood flowed out of his belly from where the dagger was lodged inside him. It pooled near him and started to slowly flow out. "By now almost every damn demon in your gang of rogues must be dead," Ileus hissed. "I don't know who the fuck encouraged you to attack us, but whoever did it was a fool. Go back to him or her and give my message—I will come after them and I will crush them like ants." Saying that Ileus took his hand forward. The dagger in the demon's belly, twisted, stirred a little to dislodge itself and came back in his hand. Ileus held the hilt of the dagger and wiped it over the demon's skin. "This blood belongs to you," he said with a clenched jaw. Then he looked at Haldir and nodded.

Haldir hurled a thick stream of flame around the demon in a circle. When he returned to Ileus and Kaizan, they walked out of the battered tent or what was left of it. On the outside, the Mozias had chased and killed almost every winged demon. Most of the lay dead on the ground, scorched and charred while some were still groaning in pain. But the Mozias were relentless. They didn't leave even a single one of them. All the werewolves had secured the perimeter and if a demon tried to leave, they pushed him right back in.

No one could forget how badly these critters had killed, mauled and mutilated an entire village only because they could and they wanted to make a presence. Only because they wanted to instill fear in the locals.

It was nearing dawn when every demon was dead except the leader. Ileus had deliberately plunged his jāmbia inside it because that would do him some terrible damage. Any other sword wouldn't have stalled him. And they needed time to leave before he could do anything.

Ileus waved his hand in the air in a circle, indicating them all to wind up and leave. This time, they didn't take the horses back to Silver Vales. Ileus created a portal back to the capital and all Mozias flew through inside it, werewolves jumping behind them. However, before Ileus left, he turned to Haldir and said, "Go to Galahar. I want to meet Rolfe on an urgent basis."

Haldir gave him a tight nod. Galahar was very far from their location, and it would have taken him at least a month to reach it. But after Iona's marriage with Rolfe and after Edyrm was dethroned, travel became easier. Only three people were allowed to open a portal to enter Galahar—Ileus, Adrianna and Anastasia. And the portal opened in front of the gates of the kingdom. This was the only way Rolfe allowed it.

Before entering the portal, he had created to go to Silver Vales, he circled his hand in the air. Dried leaves, twigs and dust mingled with each other and started circling. The circle whirled larger and larger until a man could enter it. Ileus chanted the coordinates of the place Haldir had to go to. The moment those symbols appeared on the top of the portal, a whoosh of air was sucked by the circle and the portal opened. Haldir stepped inside and walked away from it. The portal collapsed on its own and Ileus entered the portal to Silver Vales followed by Kaizan.

 "Rolfe will be here by tomorrow. Be ready," he said to Kaizan.

"I will," Kaizan replied. "Won't you come for breakfast?"

"No," he shook his head. "I know Anastasia must be waiting for me impatiently."

"And so is Olivia!"

The two friends nodded in unison and while Ileus burst into shadows and smoke, Kaizan shifted and rushed to be with his wife. When he reached his room, he found that the place was quiet.

Connor and Tyler had already reached home and he could smell them.

He padded his way to the bedroom where his wife was sleeping soundlessly on their bed. A smile wormed on his lips. After dealing with those monsters, the sight of his wife sleeping and warming his bed made his chest squeeze with love. He took a deep breath and headed for the bathroom. He needed to wash away the stink of the demons. After a nice scrub with lavender and lemon soaps, Kaizan dried himself up and slipped beside his wife, naked. As if she knew that he was there, she turned and curled into his chest. Kaizan wrapped his arms around her.

"How's my little baby?" he whispered.

"She's pregnant," Olivia replied in a sleepy voice and he chuckled.

He took his hand beneath her nightgown and placed them over her belly. He caressed her skin over there as if feeling his kids. All of a sudden, he sensed something stirring inside her. He stilled his hand over there. There was a soft thud from the inside as if a small hand came and bumped his larger one. Kaizan froze. Did his children speak with him in their own way? Kaizan's eyes misted. His kids must have missed him so much. He was gone for two days. He slid lower to Olivia's belly and kissed his kids. "You both are beautiful," he whispered to them. There was another soft thud on her belly over his lips. He knew that they must have kissed him back. Kaizan wrapped his arms around Olivia's belly. This was his world—his wife and his kids. And he had ensured that they were safe from all the dangers. Content, he sighed and closed his eyes. Soon he drifted off into a deep slumber.

Paige had never been this anxious in life after her mates left. Even though Olivia had sat down with her and tried to talk her out of her anxiety, it just didn't help. Ookashi tried to calm her down, but it didn't work. She was pacing the room in the morning after a terrible nightmare. So, as soon as she saw her mates enter the room, she squealed and jumped on Tyler, wrapping her legs around him and showering kisses.
