Nyx POV
Currently, I'm on my way to England to meet up with my king and my daughters. However, I made a stop on the way. According to the Seers' last words to me, there is a rouge who was left alive from running like a coward after attacking my first mate and killing her. This rogue paid her alpha to keep quiet and disappear, though he didn't do a good job of it. I found him, camping in the woods of North Carolina and knocked his ass out cold. I injected him with an herb that keeps him sedated until I got home. Samael will pick his brain with his powers. I will finally get the answers to questions I have been searching so long for.

She's gone. She left with...him... I should have known somehow that they would find their way back to each other. Fate is a huge bitch. I can't fail my father again. When I killed her before, he opened the earth and it swallowed me whole as his minions dragged me home. To my true home. Hell. I was chained to walls from all directions while his minions tortured me for pure pleasure for failing him. For almost 100 years, I suffered, until he found the prophecy of her being reborn. I promised him I wouldn't fail this time.
I knew I shouldn't have been with Zoe. The truth is, I needed Jasmine's wolf, Lunar, jealous. I knew Lunar hadn't accepted me yet. My powers would be in full effect if she had already. It was a funny coincidence that I happened to be re-born by Samuel's now dead aunt. She died bringing me into this new world, as no mere mortal can handle the power of a birth by my kind. A true demon birth. Jasmine should know better than to think I'm letting her go so easily. She belongs to me! I'll be damned if my old enemy, Stephan, or Samael as he is known in this life, comes in like a fucking knight and swoops her off her feet.
I've done too much planning. I've cleared every obstacle. I tore her down so much she needed me. I fucking manipulated her moon goddess into giving me a wolf and made her pair me with her this time around as her true mate. Even now, her goddess Selene is so oblivious to everything. Such a shame how easy it was to trick that bitch by hiding my demon nature and becoming the most powerful person close to Jasmine, ensuring she would bestow the mate bond on me. I feel as if she senses my true nature now though, not that it matters now, and that she plays a part in Jasmine leaving. Selene and Lunar are talking constantly. Jasmine is very simple-minded. To weak.... I will reclaim her. She already bears my mark, so whether she likes it or not, we are still linked, which is something she cannot even break. Very soon she will start transitioning. She will be coming back herself. As I watch the servants clean the blood from Zoe, a beautiful plan comes to my mind. One which I know for a fact will make her come to me instead of me coming to her.
For this plan, I'll need my father's help.
I go to our floor and take a hidden passage to my well-hidden room. A place to go as a sanctuary that holds an altar for my father. I perform the ritual, sacrificing one of the goats locked down there and cutting off their head. After I drew father's signature pentagram in the goat's blood, I cut open my own wrists. The pain is nothing for me. I've done this many times before. As I let my blood flow out of me and into the pentagram, I feel a nagging presence in my head. I know it's not fathers. This was too pure. I smirked. I know this presence all too well.
I turned around only to see a horrified Jasmine looking right at me. Her presence is almost invisible to the naked eye, though I can see her as bright as day.
"Enjoy your little vacation my little mate. I'll be seeing you really soon", I told her as I felt my eyes turn red and black mist forming around me. Her shadow vanished right after, but somehow, I knew she still heard me. I turned back to the Black Altar ahead of me.
"Father, I am close to having her power. But I need help from you. There are things I need you to do: I chant to him, sending him a mental picture of my plan. For a second, I didn't hear a reply and then....
A huge gust of red smoke fills the cave rising from the pentagram. My father's price for his help shows itself as a picture in my head. Thankfully, it's nothing I can't handle. Although, I will admit, it will hurt a bit.
"As you wish, father ", I tell him, and the red smoke dissipates.
It will be time soon to put my plan in motion, but first things first. Fathers price. I link my Cartise and Solom's to meet me in the forest.
"On the way", they all responded.
I arrive at the dungeons before them.
The forest is quiet around this time as it is almost nighttime. My Cartise and Solom showed up quickly.
" Alpha. We heard what happened to Zoey. Whispers say it's the queen. Anyone who spoke the words has been jailed but we need to know. Was it?" Raymond asks.
" I'll deal with them, but first. I need to let you know. Jasmine has left with Samael and his crew.", I told them, causing them to growl. They never liked Samael anyway.
" Then what are we still doing here? Let's get her", Lamar said, getting ready to go back to the palace.
"In a moment. Trust me, you will all help me out", I told them, walking towards them. I shifted into my wolf, letting my black fur shine in the moonlight as it was now dark.
" You have all known me for most of my life, and have stood by my side, but there are things in place that are being set up against what I need", I linked them as I walked towards them slowly. My eyes are turning red, and my mist is rising out of the ground. The fear in their eyes is evident as they back away from me slowly.
"Yo...W....what is this?" Lamar stutters.
" What the hell are you?" Lamar demands as they all continue to back away, but it’s pointless. I know they can sense what's about to happen. Not that I mind doing this, but they are still the closest things I have to calling friends ever since I was reborn. However, father hates the idea of me having any kind of happiness, so I've got to wipe that slate clean for him to help me personally.
" Say hello to your goddess", I tell them as I dash them. Both of them are fast, but neither of them is that fast, so the last thing they see before they die is my red eyes and black wolf, carrying a streak of red.
