From Here to Ecstasy
Chapter 141 - A Smirk of Death

Dedicated to oddball and N.Y.O.B. Thank you so much for making my day when I read your comments. I appreciate everything y’all comment.

Recap

“Hey, Maximus, are the rest of those vampyres the one’s you have been looking for?” I asked as I cocked my head to the others standing around with their mouths agape. I had never seen a vampyre as pale as these were. I knew vampyres were pale but not almost translucent.

Casper had nothing on them.

Maximus nodded and looked at Sonny, his eyebrow raised. I saw Sonny nod his head and knew these vampyres would be joining their old king and queen. It didn’t take a minute to confirm those thoughts. Their heads rolled right in front of the Bruja, a move I knew was planned.

“What have you done?” The Bruja asked as she looked at the heads and shuddered. “How am I supposed to get more skinwalkers?”

Seriously?

Sonny’s POV

My mouth hung open, my eyes wide. I quickly closed my mouth and narrowed my eyes on the Bruja. “You’re about to die and you’re worried about more skinwalkers. Seriously?” I asked her as I stalked closer.

“Well, yeah. I need someone to follow me while I’m sitting on your throne,” she told me in a ‘duh’ tone.

I let out a dark chuckle, promising her death for even thinking of having my throne. “You have a little problem with getting my throne.” I waited for a second and growled, shaking the ground. “Me.”

“You’re just a bump in the road I can go around at any time,” she told me as she smirked.

I tilted my head to the side. “You really are stupid. You need to have the Royal wolf pick you to be on my throne.”

My wolf came to the front of my mind, throwing me to the back of mine quickly. “And, I would never pick you!” My wolf released me as the Bruja’s eyes widened even more. I guess she never heard of a wolf taking control. Or, the wolves she’s been around are weaker than I am or my family is.

“That’s my wolf! Give him to me!” She ordered as stood smirking at her. I could tell she was getting mad at me for not following her orders. She was used to weak wolves who followed her every order and I wasn’t.

She screeched, expecting all of us to duck and cower, getting mad when we didn’t move or change our facial expressions. I could read her mind. She was wondering why we weren’t succumbing to her demands. Why we didn’t cower when she screeched, or why we weren’t scared of her. I could have eased her mind, but what was the fun in giving her information?

Yeah, no.

I jerked her towards me, watching her hands for any poisons. I spelled myself even more. I watched Kat walk up behind her, my dad on her right, my brother Kaiden on the left. I got right in her face, wishing I could throw a tic-tac in her mouth. Goddess, she smelt like death. Her whole body stunk of death and decay.

I could tell the smell was getting to the rest of my family, well, except for Kat. She had grabbed her mask and fastened it to her face before she walked behind the Bruja. I masked the rest of us, almost sighing out in relief.

“Sonny, can I do the honors or should I let your dad?” Kat asked me, not wanting to step on my dads’ toes. I understood where she was coming from.

I looked over at my dad, catching him nod his head towards Kat. “Go for it, Kat, but let stinky think my dad is going to kill her first, okay?”

All of us except for Kat and my dad, Blaine, stepped back. We stayed close just in case she got a wild hair and decided she could lose my mate and dad. We were going to see this through, knowing she was the last Bruja, for now. Hopefully, we wouldn’t replace any others, but you never knew.

My dad stepped closer, all of us grunting in pain for a second.

Mom

Goddess, no!

He growled loudly in her face, causing all of us to jump. It was as if his wolf was a Royal. I knew he could feel when his mate, our mom, heart stopped. I was freaking out and I could only guess what he wanted to do.

“You idiot! It’s our mom’s wolf. Justice and Athena have teamed up. Why do I get stuck with a stupid-” I cut off my wolf, rolling my eyes at him. I swear he could drive a saint to sin in church.

My dad growled again, the Bruja leaning backward. I saw my dad’s hand come up to the Brujas neck, laying a claw against her throat.

“Dad, calm down, please,” I mind-linked him, not wanting him to kill her in anger.

"I'm okay, Sonny. I just want to see if she cowers from me," he told me as he sighed through the mind-link.

“Uh-oh, you have not only messed with my dad and his wolf.” I heard Chase sigh. “But, you have messed with my mom’s wolves. Just bend over and kiss your ass goodbye now.” Chase ducked his head down, knowing our dad was going to spank his ass when this was over.

I noticed the Bruja’s eyes widened at the information, a smile following. “Now, Kat, do it now!”

I saw Kat take a step back, her sword out of her scabbard. I watched as set fire to the blade before she nodded at my dad to step back, confusing the Bruja. Kat stabbed her through her heart, incinerating it in a matter of seconds. My dad cut her head off with his sword, one he had put fire to also. It took us all a moment to realize it was over with, well, except for the cleanup.

“Go to her, dad. We’ve got this and anyone else who shows up, okay?” I asked as he nodded and disappeared.

I was worried about my mom but I knew I had a lot to do before I could go to the Black Blade pack. I knew her heart had stopped three times, well, two times and one skip. I wanted to fall to my knees and scream with the pain I felt from it. I didn't want to lose my mom. I didn't want to see her laying on the hospital bed so still. It wasn't her. My mom was always moving around.

I shook my head when I heard Chase clear his throat. “I’ll take her body to different places. I don’t want her to come back again,” Chase told me as he took her head first and disappeared.

I pulled Kat to me, kissing the daylights out of her. I was glad the war was over, but we had a lot of work to do when we got back to the castle. I was going to spend a few days with her before I had court again. It ought to be a fun few days of court.

Yeah, right

I turned around quickly and grabbed the person who was sneaking up behind me, piercing their neck with my claw.

A/N: Yep, did it again. I'm really sorry about the cliffhanger but was the only place I could stop and the next chapter make sense. Any ideas of who's behind him?

Thanks for reading. Please remember to like if you do.
