The night was dark, the moon obscured by heavy clouds as we approached the hideout where Amara and the twins were being held.
Months of searching, fighting, and planning had led to this moment.
The tension in the air was palpable, every man in my crew on edge, their fingers twitching near their triggers.
We were ready to end this nightmare. We launched the attack just before dawn, catching them off guard.
Bullets flew across the rooms, and the screams of our enemies echoed through the decrepit walls.
I moved through the chaos with a singular focus: find Amara and my children. Nothing else mattered.
As I passed by the carnage, taking down anyone who dared cross my path, I heard a sound that made my heart stop-a soft whimper, barely audible over the gunfire.
My head snapped up, and I followed the sound, my heart pounding in my chest. It was Amara. She was close.
I charged up the stairs, my breath coming in ragged gasps as I reached the door to a dark room.
I kicked it open, my eyes scanning the room until they landed on her.
Amara was lying on the cold floor, her body covered in blood, holding our twins close to her chest.
They were bruised, their tiny faces tear-streaked and terrified. My heart shattered at the sight.
"Amara!" I rushed to her side, dropping to my knees beside her. "I'm here. I've got you."
Her eyes, dull and lifeless, flickered with recognition as she looked up at me. "Donte..." she whispered, her voice weak.
"Take these off. Please." I saw the chains and the devices that had been cruelly attached to her, suppressing her abilities, her very essence.
Without hesitation, I ripped them off, the clattering of the metal against the floor like a death knell for whoever had done this to her. As soon as the chains were removed,
I watched in awe as her wounds began to heal, her strength returning in an instant.
She held the twins close, her gaze darkening, a deadly resolve settling over her.
"Marcel!" I called out, and within seconds, he was at the door, breathless and blood-splattered. "More are coming." he warned, his voice urgent.
I turned back to Amara, but she was already on her feet.
The twins were safe in my arms, but something had changed in her.
Her eyes turned a deep, menacing crimson, black veins crawling down her face as her fangs elongated.
She was no longer just the woman I loved-she was a force of nature, a vengeful storm ready to unleash hell.
Without a word, she sped out of the room, leaving me no choice but to follow as fast as I could, the twins crying in my arms.
I barely kept up with her as she tore through the hideout, her wrath unleashed on those who had dared to harm her family.
I watched, both in awe and horror, as she sank her teeth into the throats of our enemies, draining them of life with a ferocity that was both terrifying and mesmerizing.
Each time she dropped a lifeless body to the ground, her smirk grew darker, more dangerous.
There was no mercy, no hesitation. Amara was a predator, and they were her prey.
"Amara!" I called out, trying to reach her, but she was lost in her bloodlust, her thirst for revenge driving her to destroy every last one of them.
I held our twins tighter, their cries piercing through the madness, and I knew that this wasn't just about vengeance-it was about survival.
She was ensuring that no one would ever threaten our family again.
As the last body fell, Amara stood in the centre of the room, her chest heaving, her eyes slowly returning to their normal colour.
The black veins receded, and for a moment, she just stood there, surrounded by the carnage she had wrought.
I approached her cautiously, the twins' cries beginning to subside as they sensed the danger had passed.
"It's over," I murmured, reaching out to touch her arm.
"We're safe." She turned to face me, her expression softening as she looked at our children.
Her eyes filled with tears, and she reached out to gently stroke their tiny heads.
"I had to do it," she whispered, her voice trembling. "I had to protect them."
"I know," I said, my voice thick with emotion. "You did what you had to do."
We stood there in the aftermath, surrounded by the bodies of those who had dared to cross us, knowing that nothing would ever be the same. But we were together, and that was all that mattered.
