Warrior Princess -
Chapter 53
Samanthas POV
“No. See that’s where you are wrong. The b***d is on yours. You are the one who has killed innocent women, and children, slaughtered entire kingdoms when they didn’t bend to your will. All for what? Power? Don’t you have enough?” I say and he chuckles darkly. You can hear the sinister side of him in his voice.
“Oh my dear, you can never have too much power. I want to be the number one. I will do whatever it takes. Those people who were killed stood in my way. The same fate will meet you should you stand in mine.” I look to Kasen.
‘He’s not going to stand down. It is useless.’ I link him and he nods. Before I can think I hear a loud bang. I flinch ever so slightly but thanks to my trust in our allies I am safe. The Witches put up a shield stopping the silver bullet in its tracks.
“Did you think it would be that easy?” I ask.
‘Keep him talking. I am going to have your uncle and his rogues flank them. We will surround them on all sides. Take out the shooters as well.’ Kasen links. I don’t respond, but he knows I heard him.
Silently the troops set out. The witches keep up the shield on us and we start marching forward slowly. We get halfway across the field to him.
“At what point are you going to say enough is enough? At what point do you regain atleast a bit of your humanity?” I need to keep him talking. Even though I know there is no humanity left in him. There is no good in him. He is a dark soul that is filled with nothing but evil, vain, and greed.
“Oh, my dear child. You are so naïve. Power is everything. I don’t care about anything else.” this guy is mental.
“So your mate, your children, you don’t care about them?” I ask him and he eyeballs Theo.
“You mean my worthless traitor of a son? The one who is too buys shagging it up with another man? He is a disgrace. I couldn’t care less about him.” I turn to look at Theo. My hear breaking for him. I hear him growl loudly. I link him.
‘Don’t he is trying to get a rise out of you? You are loved here.’ I tell him and he nods at me.
“You underestimate your son. Love is more powerful than anything. He is twice the man you will ever be.” He laughs at that. I mean full on belly laughing. Theo’s only remaining brother steps forward along with his sister. Smirks on their faces.
“That was hilarious. Love is a figment of your imagination. Love doesn’t exist. I don’t love anyone. I don’t love any of my children. They are a means to my end goal. I don’t love my mate. I don’t love anything except the power I so desire” he spits out and his children look at him with disdain. What did they expect? A father of the year award?
“I’m tired of playing games. This is your last warning Edwards.” He spits out addressing both Kasen and me together. I grip his hand.
“Surrender now.” We both shake our heads no. “Then you leave me no choice.” He raises his hand and clenches his fist. Me and Kasen smirk while his face contorts with confusion then anger.
“Oh, are you waiting on your snipers to take us out? Like the shield we had up would falter.” I roll my eyes at his stupidity.
“Your snipers are no longer an issue. Got anything else?” I ask. Taunting him. Making him mad will get him riled up. The more focused he is on anger the more likely he will make a mistake. He won’t fight controlled; he will be like a bull in a china shop. Dangerous but still as easy to take down.
His face turns redder with every passing minute. I step forward and I hear, ‘Wait don’t shift. I want him to make the first move.’ Kasen says. I nod.
“Tell me, Rupert. What happens after you gain control? You expect everyone to fall in line? To obey a false king? To adapt to the abuse and manipulation you spit out? No, even if you win today there will always be another fight. Another battle. Another person willing to stand up to you.” Kasen says. I feel the anticipation. I feel the tension. You could cut it with a dull knife. I can feel the eagerness through my bond with Jake and I feel the serenity and power flowing through Kasen.
“You will always be walking on eggshells. You will always have to wonder is today going to be the day I die.” I add in. This seems to snap his last band of control.
“You’ll see. You’ll all see that I will lead everyone. I will be the most powerful ruler this world has ever seen. The rest of the world will bow at my feet and worship me like the god that I am.” I roll my eyes.
He Shifts into a giant Grizzly and roars. This causes all of the rest of his following to step out of the woods. Polar bears, Grizleys, black bears, Kodiak bears, Every king of bear you can imagine. Our numbers seem to be pretty even. We may even have a few hundred on him.
Kasen squeezes my hand and k****s my cheek. Shifting into Atlas’ magnificent form, shredding his clothes in the process. I follow his lead and shift. The familiar feeling of bones cracking, fur sprouting, senses enhancing. What feels like minutes passes by in a matter of seconds.
‘I love you, Kasen.’ I link him and he nods his head.
Turning his attention back to the fight he growls, baring his teeth. Razor sharp pearly white teeth. His hackles raise up and he lifts his snout high in the air and howls. I step infront of him using my body to protect his neck while he is vulnerable. I look and see our forces shifting. My dad and Andrew looking at us in awe of our display of protection before shifting. What they don’t realize is I will always stand with my mate. I will always protect him when he is vulnerable just as he would do the same for me.
I hear snarling coming from all of our allies and our own soldiers. Wolves of all sizes and colors step forward. Bears roar in the distance, both allied and foe. We break apart and sprint towards the battle. Jake running at my right Kasen at my left and Josh at his side. Marcus, dad, Andrew, Duke and Theo trail behind. After we take off the rest of us follow suit.
The fight has begun.
Jakes POV
Listening to my sister and Kasen up there made me feel pride for them.
‘They are our King and Queen. We must protect them.’ Nanuk growled out.
After shifting and hearing Kasens howl to advance and fight, we charged forward. Sam stays by Kasen’s side and I try to stay close to her. We fight better together. We are stronger together. Fighting the first bear, I get to they seem to be less strong than Theo and the Royals but equally as strong as our warriors. They are putting up a good fight. The polar bear that I’m currently fighting has gotten me a few times. I feel the stinging from the wounds on my body.
His face turns redder with every passing minute. I step forward and I hear, ‘Wait don’t shift. I want him to make the first move.’ Kasen says. I nod.
‘Stop toying with him. Take him out now!’ Nanuk urged me. He’s right I could have taken him out 10 moves ago, but I don’t think all of these bears here want to fight. I think a lot of them are being forced to. They pulling their hits. Well, some of them are. This one however is not.
I sink my teeth into his neck and lock my jaws. The b***d filling my mouth giving Nanuk the b***d l**t that he craves. The bear slumps and stops fighting. Dead. I am so tired of killing.
I look at the battlefield. I spot Sam fighting with Theo’s sister. A light brown bear. She is holding her own, but I still run to her and jump on her back. Sinking my claws and teeth in. She bucks, but I hold on like a cowboy riding a bull in a rodeo.
Sam takes the opportunity to go for her exposed neck. Her silver fur coated in b***d that isn’t hers gives her the appearance of a seasoned warrior. Theos Sister submitted whimpering. We released her and she stayed down. No doubt tired of the fighting. She eyes us and bows her head and stalks off looking back at her father with squinted eyes. She turns her head and looks at Theo fighting with their last living brother.
Theo is like a rabid animal fighting with everything he has. I hear Sam yelp and look to see she was knocked down by a bear twice her size. He radiates power but not as much as their king. Seems to be a Beta of some sort. She rolled a bit and stood up on shaky legs, growling.
This bear charges us and we split and each go for a side of him. I get a good swipe going down his h*p while Sam bites at his stomach. I hear this bear growl and he turns his head getting Sam on her scruff. He takes her and throws her like she weighed nothing. She hits a tree and lands on her side whimpering.
Josh runs to her and stands guard over her while she gathers her bearings and I see red. I latch onto this sleeze balls back and pull like a dog playing tug-o-war. Ripping fur and skin with every tug. I stay in his blind spot where he can’t reach me. He stands up on his hind legs and throws his body weight down shaking me off of him. He stalks towards me and growls. But is tackled by a ball of grey fur. My dad wrestles with this enormous bear and easily rips out his throat. Radiating his full power my dad stands with his chest puffed out.
“Thank you.” I say to him and he pumps his head with mine. We walk over to josh who is helping Sam stand.
‘Can you fight?’ I link her and she narrows her eyes and me and nods her head. We survey the field We seem to be winning. I hear a loud growl and see Kasen and the King circling each other. Kasen’s black fur is glistening red with b***d. So is King Ruperts. King Rupert has a giant gash on the side of his face and scratches litter his body. The only injury I can see on Kasen is a deep gash on his front shoulder.
Sam growls and stalks forward towards her mate. We don’t stop her either. The prophecy said the mated pair was the key. I and she were important towards the fight, but they would be the key to win. A group of bears approach us to keep us from following for extra protection. Time to get on with our own fights.
