Behind The Unseen Stars

Chapter Twenty-Four Someone New

Rina's POV

I knew that I was losing myself and there was nothing keeping me from going into The Dark. It was slowly taking over my body and I knew that I would never be the same.

I was too far gone that even thinking about my mate and our cubs didn't help, it only had me getting more pissed. I couldn't fight it, even if I still wanted too.

They had tried to kill my cub when they were still inside of me and couldn't fight for themselves, they tried to poison me but got my mate instead, they had taken my daughter and tried to hurt her. I was going to make my father pay for all the pain and hurt that he had caused me and my Pride.

I looked up at my father who I had pinned to the wall with my knifes, I was using my magic to make sure that he didn't pass out on me. That would be too easy for him.

If I wasn't going Dark then I knew I would not be able to stand the sight of my father like this but he brought it on himself when he tried to hurt my cubs and my mate, you don't mess with a Mother lioness and her mate.

I could feel my eyes go even more blacker then they already were and if I killed my father then I would become part of The Dark and there would be no going back.

The more I thought about it the more I was becoming okay with it, I wanted my father to die but slowly, he was going to die painfully and I would make sure of that.

I could hear Marco trying to talk me out of this but there was no going back now, I felt the last of my feelings go away and the only thing that I could feel was hate and anger. As soon as I killed my father I would belong to The Dark.

I started to peel back the skin on my father's right arm, I smiled when he screamed out for me to stop. This was going to be fun, I was going to make him scream very loud and it would be music to my ears.

"Rina? My love? Look at me please." My mates voice broke through to me.

I kept on peeling back my father's skin as I turned around to look at my mate. The look on his face said it all, he was scared for me, but he didn't know that it was too late and there was no going back now.

"What are you doing here? You can't stop me." I went to turn back around to face my father but Luca's voice stopped me.

"I know I can't stop you, not by myself. If I had help, then I know that I could stop you but that doesn't mean that I want to. I don't want to hurt you mate, but I can't let you do this." There were no emotions on his face as he said this. "I won't let The Dark take you. Have you forgot that you are mine and only mine?"

"You can't hurt me. The only way that you can stop me is by killing me." I was now full on facing my mate, if he wanted a fight then a fight is what he would get. We couldn't kill each other. If one of us dies then the other does as well, but it's not like we can die anyway, so I knew that I had nothing to worry about.

"You would take the life of the Mother of our cubs? How can you just walk out on them? On us? After everything that we have been through together." He looked like he was mad. I could tell that he was trying to hold back but I didn't see it lasting long before he would snap.

"You can't kill me without killing yourself. Remember the spell that we got from my Mother? One of us can't die without the other one dying too." I know that he remembered the spell and he wouldn't kill me, he wouldn't do that to our cubs, but our immortality only went so far.

"Please don't do this my little mate." I could hear the pleading in his voice.

Before he could even try to stop me, I went to use my last knife that I had on me, the one that doesn't just kill the body but also the spirit as well. I through it right at my father's heart and I watched it go straight into its target, but what I didn't expect to happen was for it to hit something before it went all the way inside his chest.
