THE CURE FOR MY DISEASE CELINE I thought my time hade to die I honestly never imagined it would end like this .


    An agonizing pain tore through my wolfs back , forcing me to shift immediately into my hybrid form , with some vampire traits , hissing menacingly from a corner , surrounded by cruel enemies .


    1 pressed my hand against the deep wound that pierced me from my back to my stomach , enduring as best I could , but I wouldnt survive if they attacked again .


    Suddenly , a blood chilling roar echoed , reverberating through the ancient walls .


    Just like me , everyone turned in unison to witness something unbelievable ..


    Valeria was rising from her dark corner , the rigid body of that child lying lifeless on the ground as she advanced , step by step , hissing like a predatory beast about to strike .


    S Sir ..


    what is that ? Its just a mangy bitch trying to intimidate us ! Stop ying hero , or Ill kill this woman worse than I did the brat ! the vampire in charge shouted , but I could feel the fear thickening the air .


    Aaaahhh ! The first of them screamed as Valeria emerged from the shadows , tearing his head clean off with sharp , ck ws that had grown from her nails .


    In an instant , pandemonium broke out inside the sanctuary of the Goddess .


    I cowered against the wall , watching her with fear .


    What exactly was this woman ? Her aura hadpletely changed it was oppressive , suffocating , making you tremble with pure terror .


    Just looking into her crimson eyes , like two drops of blood , ethereal and filled with hatred and darkness , sent .


    shivers down my spine .


    Bulging ck veins circled her eyes , trailing down her unnaturally pale skin to her neck .


    Valeria moved like the shadows themselves , a dark mist cloaking her entire body like a ck shroud , bing her ally .


    The screams of those vampires filled the chamber as blood sttered the walls and floor .


    They had been impossible for me to defeat , yet she was slicing through them like butter , ripping out their hearts and crushing them in her fists .


    She moved so fast that sometimes I couldnt even follow her with my eyes , and soon , almost no one was left standing .


    My gaze shifted for a moment to the vampire in charge , who was hiding behind his men and now running toward the childs body .


    What was he nning ? A sh of silver caught my eye as I saw him from across the room , pulling the relic from Edwards shoulder where it was still lodged .


    He was trying to escape with it ! I straightened up to shout at Valeria , but I froze as she appeared behind him like a messenger of death .


    He felt her presence too , spinning around quickly to attack with that dark energy de he had summoned the  THE CURE FOR MY DISEASE same one he had used to wound me … Valeria stopped it with her bare hand .


    Her long ck ws sparked against the vampires energy .


    He tried to threaten her , shouting nervous insults as his arms shook with the effort , but Valeria seemedpletely unaffected .


    She just stared at him then , suddenly , her lips curled into a sinister sinlle , sharp fangs emerging from her gums .


    The deadly de began to dissolve between her fingers , vanishing as though its darkness was being absorbed by Valeria herself .


    The vampires face , like mine , contorted with shock and disbelief .


    It cant be … you … you cant be her … her daughter … he stammered , terror flooding his eyes .


    Dont kill me ! Ill serve you ! Ill help you take the throne ! ll be your ve ! he screamed , shifting into a submissive stance , even starting to kneel .


    But Valeria seized his throat at lightning speed , mming him against the wall and strangling him .


    The vampires feet kicked wildly , his hands wing desperately at hers , trying to pry off the deadly grip sinking into his neck A high pitched , bone chilling shriek escaped Valerias lips making me shiver as every hair on my body stood on end .


    From the shadows swirling around her back , two massive wings unfurled crow feathers as ck as the void , each tipped with sharp , talon like barbs .


    I curse you so the Goddess will never wee you into her embrace .


    May you wander as a lost soul through the wastnds of darkness , she dered , her voice unearthly , guttural , almost inhuman .


    АААААННННН ! The massive wings beat once , scattering dark feathers into the air , and the sharp barbsshed down again and again , piercing the vampires chest as his agonized screams echoed , his blood sttering across Valerias face and body.


    I could feel the strength of that man he was overwhelmingly powerful , capable of rivaling my brother , an elite Lytan .


    How was she making his death look so easy ? It was over in a minute .


    Silence fell once more in the underground chamber , broken only by my ragged breathing and the pounding of my heart .


    Valeria , I called softly as she stood there , seemingly confused .


    She finally reacted , releasing the vampires broken corpse Her fury had been so intense that shed torn him apart .


    She leaned down , taking the relic from his lifeless hand , then turned toward me .


    I was scared I admit it .


    Of this woman I had once thought of as a weak omega .


    Her aura was suffocating , overwhelming , and I had only known one other who could paralyze you with such sheer  THE CURE FOR MY DISEASE power Aldric , the Lycan King .


    I remained trembling in the corner , head bowed , unable to theet her eyes , just hoping I wouldnt be next .


    Suddenly , the relic was tossed at my feet , and a strong gust of wind swept through the chamber , forcing me to shut my eyes against the dark energy swirling violently agah .


    A dull thud made me open them .


    Valeria ! I screamed when I saw her copsed on the floor .


    I finally approached , fearing she was dead , but she was breathing slowly , yet alive .


    However , that strange transformation was fading far too slowly .


    Celine , hold on ! Both of you , resist ! Im almost there , but the King sensed Valeria was in danger and got ahead of me ! My brothers voice echoed in my mind , making me flinch in fear .


    No , no , no .


    The King cant see Valeria like this .


    If he does , hell kill her on the spot .


    I dont know what she is , but something in my blood screams that I have to save her that shes too important … and maybe even the cure for my affliction .


    I nced around in desperation and spotted a dark passage hadnt noticed before .


    It could be another way out of this ce .


    Wasting no time , I clenched my teeth and lifted her .


    My wound , still bleeding and healing far too slowly , would have to endure somehow .


    Come on , Valeria .


    Help me again .


    Please , help me save you I nearly begged , clutching her as I draped her arm over my shoulders , holding her firmly around the waist .


    I dragged her along , and as we passed the vampires remains , I spat on him in disgust .


    The life of an innocent child had been lost because of his selfish ns .


    I kept moving , silently praying to the Goddess in my heart .


    I could already feel the Kings presence closing in , so summoning every ounce of strength I had left , I pulled Valeria through the dark corridor leading to the unknown .


    The smell of dampness grew stronger , and a faint light appeared when I turned a corner in the tunnel .


    It seemed to be a drainage outlet leading to a waterfall ..


    Indeed , when I finally reached the end , sweating and breathless , I was faced with a point of no return a drop into the deep waters of a nearby waterfall .


    What do I do ? If I jump , we could both fall to certain death Valeria was unconscious , and I was injured .


    I looked at her pale face some of those dark veins still visible , though slowly fading back to normal .


    A lycan roar echoed from the Altar room , making me nce back into the dark tunnel with dread .


    I trembled , paralyzed by indecision .


    The icy breeze and freezing water sprayed against our bodies , making our hair whip wildly at the edge of the abyss .


    Aldric was closing in .


    Suddenly , a raven cawed sharply in front of us , its wings pping , wildly , suspended over the waterfall.


    BE THE CURE FOR MY DISEASE It was the sign I needed to make my decision .


    I hurled myself over the edge , clutching Valeria tightly in my arms as we plunged into the void .


    The dark waters swallowed us whole , roaring in my cars .


    The current pulled us relentlessly , but I refused to let go , clinging desperately to the hope of survival .
