Luna Rising

TWENTY - FOUR

Leah roar trying hard to escape, but she doesn't know is that the lassos from the demon realms burn demon's skin and makes you weak. She can fight all she wants, but it will damage her.

When she doesn't have any fight in her left, Leah starts to have weak legs and falls back with a loud thud.

Now that she had lost the will to fight. All the demons she had summoned disappeared.

"No...please...I...must...get...stronger. I must...become... a...Luna..." her voice stammer and exhausted. I watch her eyes dilate.

"Leah, you've done enough damage," I tell her. She let out a weak growl. "It's time to end this."

"No! Don't you dare touch me! I'll fucking kill you!" Leah bares her fangs. "Are you going to kill me like what you did to my brother?!"

"Your brother was already dead," I clarified. "He was too far to be saved."

"Liar! You are trying to get rid of me so you can have Dominic to yourself!"

I inwardly roll my eyes. We already had this conversation, and she's not putting it in her head.

"Your head is filled with the desire to be Luna. You want it so bad, then you can have it, but if Dominic doesn't want you, then don't blame me for being stupid."

Leah tries to snap at me, but with the lasso around her neck, she can barely make it to my face.

"You can never remove the seed," Alvin chuckled menacingly.

I hadn't forgotten about it; I didn't care since I was so busy. Talima is by his side and strapped with a magic chain she probably had created.

"You remove it. She dies."

"Shit, what are we going to do?" Camila ask.

"Implanting a seed from the Wishing Tree grows from being fed of desire." Arlo starts to explain. "The more desire you want, the more it starts to consume you, becoming a demon."

"Can't we just kill her?"

"Cam, that's Alpha Dominic's job. Not ours. All we are doing is saving her." I scold her as a reminder not to casually do whatever is the best option.

She scoffed and made a face. "After everything she did. This bitch deserves to die."

"Cam, Master said no," Kaze warned her, which only made her pouty.

I change my eyes to see through her heart. The seed is now in the sprouting process; the stems act like blood veins it had to attach to the inside of the heart as it feeds itself.

"Can you save her, Lippy," the sound of Dominic's voice sent a cheery wave as I focused on the task?

"I need to remove the stems of her heart, but I need total focus." I crouch down. "I need absolute silents."

"Um...Lippy," Clayton calls out. "I know you're not a doctor or surgeon, but have you done this before, given that you dealt with this type of shit over the year."

"Actually...I don't," I admit and see the worried look on everyone's face. "But don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

I think...?

I hope I know what the hell I'm doing. This is the first for me. It's different with the yeti, and he was easy to be dealt with. But I'm dealing with a seed from a lemon tree.

I sharply intake air to my lungs and breath it out. "Okay."

I slowly lower my hand to her heart when I hear a loud wailing squeal behind me. Head towards us was Jippies. "Wait!"
