The White Wolf's Lover

Chapter 63

Beam was still unconscious so was Tee, Irin was trying to find something in the bag they had left in the cave earlier to warp the babies around while Jihyo and Jisoo just sat in silence.

Posh and Forth were at the cave entrance, it was unclear if they were waiting or guarding.

Max was trying his best to keep Tul's midriff frozen, while he held their baby secured in his arms.

"Here" Irin extended a small t-shirt and tried to make a conversation, divert herself "She is so cute", but Phana was only focusing on strengthening his mate bond.

Irin sighed as she took the baby in her hands and wrapped her in the t-shirt, trying to ignore the sense of impending doom. They had no way out at this point.

"We need to return to Old castle" Forth said out loud, not turning, "Nila said, Pha will be able to guide us out"

Max looked up, "can you open a portal?" at this point all he could think was saving his partner, he glanced at his baby boy, who had fluttering silver wings just like Tul's. Never in his existence had he learned about a Fairy prince delivering child like Tul had, but then this was all madness.

"We still have our connection with outside world, I should be but not here" Jihyo answered, "it is not possible on scared grounds"

"Do you feel it?" Jisoo asked, "they both have such strong and pure energy"

She got up suddenly and walked to Max, "Give him to me" she extended her hands, "or, better yet, place him next to Tul". She turned to Irin, "and let her nestle up to Beam"

"Do you think they will heal them?" Max looked up, to which Jisoo answered "I mean, if their soul can power the gods, can't they heal their parents?"

Irin sighed "let's hope so", her eyes fixed on her brother who seemed to be whirlwind of emotions  - especially guilt and rage.

Phana, finally broke his silence and looked up, "I need to return to Kit"

He turned to Posh, "I need you to take charge, your blood will also enable you to guide them"

"No" Posh rushed back, "it was clear instruction from Nila, you need to ..." but he was cut by Phana's "Not now, you are a bloody royal too..."

He turned to Jihyo "Can you go with them, while Jisoo joins me?"

Jihyo sighed, but without an argument she agreed. Her sister's connection to that place seemed to be lot stronger than hers.

"Not sure, if you are under any oath... but you are joining me" Phana said, knowing his command will circumvent any promise Forth might have made.

"Yes , Sire" Forth replied formally, but a hint of relief filled his eyes.

------

"You still fight?" Maeve laughed at Kit who was now same as Nila, their thoughts and actions no longer separate, "your mate over there is dying, your pack will be dead shortly", she sneered "beg, and I might give you chance"

Kit ignored her words his decision made already, as he jumped towards her only to change direction at last minute and bite into the invisible hands that were choking his mate.

Vulcan for a second loosened his grip around Ming's throat, and Ming with all his energy pushed back by resting his legs against the energy mass that was the fire god.

Maeve who was expecting Kit to attack her, rushed from his back and dragged Kit by grabbing on to the fur at his back and tossed his aside.

Kit flew past the cave, his back crashing into the wall. A whine escaped him despite his control, immediately followed by snarl when Maeve casually walked towards him with a smirk "you dare think you have chance against me?!"

But Kit pushed himself on his paws and still managed to stand tall, his core warm and bursting with all his packs strength, he just let out a bark in defiance. He had to separate her from Vulcan... that would give Ming a chance.

He focused on Ming, but his eyes alert and fixed on Maeve.

Ming pulled out the Mordor's knife that Forth had tied at the end of their anchor, and tried to feel Vulcan's presence but it proved more of a challenge since he had no corporal form, that also enabled him to dissipate his energy.

Meave had his back to Ming, concentrating on Kit. She had assumed that Vulcan would handle the Guardian. Her vengeance blinded her now to everything except white wolf that still seemed to be having an upper hand.

She materialized right next to Kit, as soon as she vanished from her spot sinking in her fangs onto his shoulders. In that very instant, Ming pounced on her and drove the knife into her back, right where her heart was.

Both Kit and Ming, where thrown off their feet as she burst into flames. Her screams filled everywhere, being ripped of what was left of her divinity. Kit finally managed to stand, as he tried to close the bleeding from where she attacked him.

He quickly looked around but only found thick mass of now black cloud, there seemed to be an portal that was shimmering right next to it. Damm, He tried to get there and close the gate to underworld that Vulcan was trying to open. He realized that his blood was part of the spell yet again.

By the time, he reached Vulcan the spell was complete he lunged in his wolf form, but he saw that Ming had the same idea only he carried the Mordor's knife and was quicker.

Ming fell hard on the ground, as Vulcan fully vanished forever.

"Portal" Ming said looking at Kit, but they had to focus on Maeve for now.

Kit dragged Ming away from the portal that was slowly growing in size, towards the monster that Maeve truly was. She was physically vulnerable, but wont be for long once the underworld gates are opened.

Ming phased as well, and both wolves now attacked Maeve with renewed energy. Ming's claws ripped her to pieces and Kit gathered what was left of her and threw it into the shimmering portal.

A loud shriek filled the cave, when Ming finally managed to sink his fangs into her heart, ripped it out and crushed it under his claws before tossing it into the portal as well.

They looked around, finally peace filling them. Maeve is gone forever. Their purpose finally done.

Not yet, Kit said We are yet to close the gates of underworld. He used my blood again.

They looked at each other, looks they were late and had one last choice to make. Kimmon walked towards his mate and licked her bleeding shoulder.

A small whine escaped Nila, but she nuzzled into her mate. Their mind connected as one, started the spell to close the portal forever.

-------

"Hurry" Phana rushed Jisoo, as they waited for her to open the portal. They felt the shimmer in air, and after few minutes it seemed a lot lighter.

Forth looked at them with concern, not knowing if the change was good or bad, but Phana was too gone to care. He focused only on opening the portal as he channeled his energy onto Jisoo.

After, what seemed like an eternity they finally stepped into the large cave where they were once imprisoned, but this time it was filled with an eerie silence.

"How long where we gone?" Jisoo looked around, while Phana walked towards the deeper end.

"May be a day" Forth said, they had to rush back to that spot for them to be able to get back here. He could not sense either the guardian or the white wolf, If only they could have gotten back a bit early.

Phana's heart almost stopped when he saw blood, ran towards it screaming, It can't be ... .he thought, please god.... Don't let it be.

And he froze when he saw the pale faces of Kit and Ming, in their human forms lying limp.
