Mated To My Boyfriend's Dad-Chapter 268: Destiny

Isleen

~~

Everything happened so fast. I woke up and went downstairs to check the news, only to read the headlines.

There’d been another murder in the pack. Dew...

"I– I know her." I blurted out to myself.

Dew... She was the fairy girl who’d tried getting me to talk about what was bothering me when I ran out of that hotel after my first sex with Rhett. She’d been so nice and even offered to ’heal’ my mate mark, thinking I was hurt.

We’d met only once but she’d made a mark in my mind. Aceco was a perfect example of how pure the fey could be, but Dew had helped me reinforce that idea. And now she was dead...

What surprised me was how Kylo took the news when he got downstairs. It was obvious that he knew her, probably far better than I did. But how?

Were they perhaps dating?

I couldn’t get those questions answered as Kylo soon left to Moon knows where leaving me alone with Fergus.

What followed proved to be the most traumatizing thing I’ve ever gone through. Fergus chased me up to my room and almost raped me.

The bastard touched me and reminded me of how he’d been the one visiting me every night.

At that moment, my wolf finally decided to wake up, giving me enough strength to disorient him long enough to escape. That led to me running to the gasoline warehouse and lighting it up with the lighter I’d taken from the kitchen, causing the place to go up in flames with Fergus inside.

He was dead. He was finally dead, and for once, I felt free.

When Rhett made love to me after we got back home that day, it felt like the best we’d ever had... Especially now that we’d begun coming out slowly to the pack members about our relationship.

.

.

Two weeks passed and the day for the planned attack against the vampires had finally arrived. Within this period, Aceco and I had done a lot of research and exercises to heighten my special ability.

After the war plans at the Alpha’s house yesterday, we were finally off to the entrance that led into the underworld, which the nymph Queen had found deep in the Raven Wood forest, at the foot of a mountain.

The plan was simple... I’d use my power to scan the area for vampires while we went there on foot.

The allied army was far too large to pass through these woods without attracting the attention of the vampires, so for now, only a small group composed of Aceco, Rhett, me, and some pack soldiers moved toward the entrance to the underworld with a copy of the map in our hands.

"Guys, wait." I alerted them when I felt something.

Instantly, everyone came to a halt while Aceco grabbed my hand. We glanced at each other and gave each other an understanding nod.

The fairy healer proceeded to close her eyes, channeling her magic through me. I was able to sense vampires hiding around the mountain, but I needed a clearer view.

I closed my eyes as well, as Rhett and the pack soldiers stood guard around us. The only sound I could hear now was the chirping of birds and insects in the forest, and I could pick up the scent of flowers blooming under the early morning sun.

Suddenly, a surge of energy wracked my body as I opened my eyes. I couldn’t see anything at first, but I knew that right now, the color had drained in my eyes, and all that remained was white.

After a few seconds of seeing nothing but darkness, I was finally able to see again. But this time, I wasn’t seeing what was in front of me.

My eyes, amplified by my special ability which was in turn amplified by Aceco’s magic... Could now see what was happening hundreds of meters away.

I was able to get a view of the vampires, hiding inside caves around the mountain. My brows creased in disgust when I saw what was happening in these caves.

Most of the vampires were having an orgy of sorts while enjoying the blood of chained-up human victims who were inches away from death’s door.

I couldn’t hear anything but the vampires seemed to be in a celebratory mood, without a care in the world. Gosh, these creatures were darker than I thought!

Suddenly, my body jolted, causing me to lose sight of the vampires in my trance. My eyesight came back as I lost balance and tripped.

Luckily, Rhett caught me on time before using his hand to sweep some strands of my hair away from my face.

"Are you okay?" He asked with a worried expression.

I couldn’t help smiling as I placed my palm on his face. "I’m fine... What I saw was just... It was just too much." I stuttered when my mind replayed what I saw.

I turned to see Aceco standing beside us, her hand still holding mine.

"What did you see?" She asked calmly with a solemn gaze.

I explained everything I saw in detail, making sure I didn’t miss anything. When I was done, Aceco closed her eyes.

It seemed she’d established a telepathic link with the fairy Queen, allowing her to communicate with her even from a large distance.

After several seconds or so, Aceco opened her eyes and uttered. "The Queen and Elven king are leading our allied forces to this location. In the meantime, the humans will be using their air machines to launch a surprise attack on the mountain. That will be our signal to charge."

I glanced at Rhett as he helped me get on my feet. What Aceco meant by "air machines" was actually fighter jets and helicopters. The werewolves had access to those as well, but ever since the war, the humans’ technological might was brought to light.

They now protected most of Earth’s last remaining resources.

"Are you ready?" I gazed at Rhett while never letting go of his hand.

Even though he hid it well beneath his calm demeanor, I could feel the pressure he felt through the mate bond. The fate of the world rested on his shoulders.

Rhett glanced at me, his face brightening up with a warm smile as he spoke. "This is my destiny, Isleen. I’ve never been more ready."

I nodded and was about to tell him, ’I love you,’ when a deafening explosion resounded around the woods. We all glanced up, watching as smoke rose from the mountain.

The humans have begun launching their attacks already.

"There’s our signal," Aceco muttered solemnly.

I drew in a deep breath as the pack soldiers led the way.
