Heart of Lies - Page 45

I kicked them all hard.

The sound of shattering bones filled the air.

More assassins screamed as my claws sunk into them.

Their horrific memories filled my mind.

I did not care.

I only laughed at their mortal existence.

More assassins threw daggers at my back.

The daggers bounced off.

I turned.

The assassins snarled.

I snarled louder.

I rushed over to them. Painting the stone circle with their flesh, organs, and blood.

Three assassins left.

They whipped out their pistols.

Firing them at the Queen.

I could see the bullets.

Dashing over, I caught the red-hot bullets.

I didn’t care about the heat. I was in control of the Flesheater ability.

The assassins froze.

It was over.

Snarling at them as I walked, I raised my claws and beheaded them all.

Their heads landed with a thump. Leaving a trail of dark red rich blood on the stone floor.

All the assassins were dead.

With shaking hands, I took out my dulled blade and played with it. Focusing on my mind, regaining my control. I felt Harrison’s warm body next to mine. His hand gently holding my other blood-soaked claw.

After embracing Harrison’s touch and the humanity of it, and a few deep breaths. My claws became normal nails again and my eyes returned to normal.

Immediately, I hugged Harrison and looked to Alessandria over his shoulder. She smiled and nodded her thanks to me.

CHAPTER 21

Walking slowly towards the heavy black cast iron door at the end of the stone corridor, Alessandria couldn't wait to open it and end Ares. His death sentence was long overdue.

After Daniel’s use of the Flesheater ability and their subsequent escape, it hadn't taken Alessandria and the Queen long to find Ares. Leading them to the top of the castle where he had reportedly been for a few hours.

Whilst Alessandria didn't understand why he didn't just flee so he could live for a few more days until the Inquisition caught up with him. She was more than glad this was going to be over. At least with Ares.
