Carnivals: Claimed By The Deranged Alpha Prince [BL]-Chapter 272: Trap

Blaze’s pov

Kai’s death completely caught me off guard. Probably because that was the last thing I expected my father to do after I threatened him that I was gonna shoot Kai.

"How could you?" I asked as I slowly rose to my feet and he shrugged while pocketing his gun.

"He was always disposable anyway." He drawled as he began to walk towards me and I held my ground firmly. I was taller than my father but what he lacked in height, he made up for it from the sheer aura rolling off his body in waves.

He stopped before me and reached for my shoulder but u shook his hand off, watching as he rolled his eyes before leaning forward.

"Is the deal still on?? I help you leave the mess alive and you’d willingly let me have your mate in return, hm?" He demanded and up close like this, I didn’t stop to think as I grasped his throat before he could move. He clearly didn’t see that coming and he tensed up but didn’t make any sound that could indicate fear.

"No, it’s not. It never fucking was." I spat through a scowl and he snorted while rolling his eyes.

"You’re a bastard. A monster. How could you kill him like that?" I demanded and he coughed a little but made no move to break out of my hold.

"Oh quit whining about him already, especially when you’ve always hated him."

I shoved him off, chest heaving and he rolled his eyes before making a show of dusting his suit.

"I guess the deal is off then. Don’t look out for me to come rescue you tomorrow during the full moon and keep in mind that at the end of all this, I’ll still get to have him." His eyes darted to my mate as he spoke and rage filled up every inch of my body, propelling me forward towards him, but before I could get to him, he was sliding into a car which sped off in the next moment. I chased after him until I couldn’t, while wishing I had strangled him when I had the chance.

I let out a ragged breath and pulled on my hair, and then my phone rang. I pulled it out and frowned at the caller id.

Xander?

What the fuck does he wants?

"You think we’re besties now? Why the hell are you calling me?" I growled angrily into the phone and I heard a loud sigh on the other side of the phone.

"Yo, chill the fuck out, who wants to be your friend anyway."

"You fucking..." I was still speaking when he hurriedly cut me off.

"I think I know where Kim is at."

~~~

"He’s in your house this whole time and you didn’t know?" I demanded, feeling beyond flabbergasted after we all pulled up at the address he sent and it turned out to be his house.

He sighed with pursed lips. "Look, I’m just as confused, okay?"

"I tracked his phone and it ended up being in my house, so I’m certain he’s being held here."

I leveled Xander with a glare before shouldering past him into his bedroom.

"So, where the fuck is he then? Here in your bedroom?" Roy demanded as he glanced around.

"How do you know Kim?" Xander demanded, referring to Roy who rolled his eyes.

"Are you dumb? This is what you can think about right now?" Roy snapped back at him and Xander sighed again.

"Let’s go find him then." He gruffed out, heading for the doorway of his bedroom which screamed so much of him. Although it smelt a little of sex.

"Where are we going now?" Labyrinth, who had been quiet since asked and Xander stared at him for a few moments, and then he pointed at the ground.

"He’s under."

"The grave?" I demanded with an eyeroll and Roy shot me a frown.

"In the basement." Xander clarified.m

There were guards everywhere in Xander’s father’s house and it reminded me of my father’s house which I haven’t been to in years. Because of the guards, we had to sneak our way into the basement.

Once in there, we followed a particular tracker which led up to the far corner of the basement where a rug was thrown over a lumped shape. I watched as Xander flattened, unsure. But then Roy shoved him away and pulled the grey rug, revealing a tied up and gagged Kim to use.

Roy instantly knelt beside him and began to loosen his binds, while Xander carefully tried getting the gag out. Kim was crying and clearly happy to see us.

However, labyrinth remained standing in the same spot, his eyes pinned on Kim and I noticed they were glowing a little.

"That’s not Kim." He finally spoke, eyes still trained on Kim.

Roy and Xander paused, exchanging confused looks.

"What are you talking about?" Xander asked just as Roy caressed Kim’s cheek. "It’s Kim. Look at him."

Labyrinth stepped forward and then he crouched in front of Kim who I then noticed grew stiff. He inched backwards but his back soon collided with the wall. The expressions on Roy’s and Xander’s face perfectly mirrored mine.

Labyrinth held a hand up, waving it in front of Kim and as soon as a burst of sunlight emerged from Labyrinth’s palm, Kim began to scream just as his body began to burn. Roy staggered backwards and my mouth fell open in shock as I watched the person who I believed was Kim, morph into some kind of inky monster with melting skin and jagged teeth. He roared at Labyrinth who slowly rose to his feet.

"W- what’s that?!" Xander cried out while labyrinth tracked the creature with his eyes. ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com

"It’s a monster used to take on the appearance of people." Labyrinth explained before striking the creature down with a bolt of magic when it attempted to attack it.

I was beyond shocked when labyrinth turned around to us, a grimace on his face.

"How do you know what that was?" I asked and he shrugged.

"It’s because of my magic, I can tell a lot of things apart by just listening to my magic. And also, we all walked right into a trap."

Before I could ask any questions, gunshots began to go off and I cursed as I pulled Labyrinth down, trying to cover him with my body but he shoved me off and tried rising to his feet, but I pulled him down once again.

"I know you’re all here along with my bastard son. Show your fucking selves." Xander’s father thundered and behind him were about twenty men with guns.

"Where the fuck are you, Xander? How stupid you are! I knew you were gonna fall for this weak ass bait, but I didn’t expect you to summon Blaze and his friends, you dimwit! Have you forgotten that even though I act like I’m working for his father, I’m actually working against him? Huh?"

"And to you Blaze, you should have known better than to come here. Your mere existence infuriates me because you’re clearly way better than my son. But that ends today because I’m ending the both of us today. I heard you can’t use your powers anymore for the sake of your life, which means you’re practically powerless now, so fucking come out!" He thundered angrily and I scoffed underneath my breath while anger brewed within me.

Xander was on his feet next. "Enough, father! I’ve had enough of you forcing me into your hate for Blaze’s father. Because I wanted to show you how great a son I can be, I forced myself to hate Blaze and always get on his nerves when in reality, I couldn’t care less to hate him because he’s actually cool." Xander thundered and his dad ended up laughing.

"Can you listen to yourself right now?! This is exactly why you’d always be useless. You’d never be worthy to be my son no matter what, your mere existence is a mistake."

"Fucking kill me then, because I’m done. I’m tired and I won’t be trying to please you any longer." Xander demanded angrily and his father snarled.

"You fucking ingrate." He seethed, aiming his gun at his son. I didn’t think he’d pull the trigger but he actually did. I didn’t stop to think when I zapped towards Xander with inhumane speec and tugged him sideways so the bullet ended up grazing his arm.

Since I was no longer holding labyrinth down, I cursed on noticing him on his feet but before I could get to him, he was stretching his hands out and to my complete disbelief, the men started choking while gripping their throats and chest.

"What are you doing?" I asked in awe and he grinned.

"Killing them from the inside since they don’t have protective spells on. I didn’t even know I could do this, I just tried and it worked." He informed me and as I watched him take down armed men twice his size and over 20 in numbers, I was consumed and floored with so much admiration.

He really is as the prophecy said. A powerful being the world isn’t ready for.
