Ensnaring his Dark Moon-Chapter 164: That bitch’s son

Realization dawned on Lucian and Marcus nodded, ’’All we need to do is take her to the sea. If she is one of us, then no obstacles will come in our path. She will transform to her true form today as soon as the water touches her when the moon is at its peak. We will be able to take her where she belongs.’’

...

’Roar’

Leo turned around to look at the entrance of the prison when he sensed a familiar aura.

Aleister stepped inside the prison and he tilted his head to look at the old woman who was hanging above the lava river with her limbs tied to chains, ’’Was he here?" he asked.

Greta looked at the man in disdain, refusing to speak anything.

’’Silence. What a fun game to play,’’ Aleister raised his hand and a golden ray shot out of his index finger, turning into a knife as it approached the woman’s neck.

Greta immediately twisted her neck but the knife grazed past her skin, ’’AHHH...’’ She let out an animalistic groan as she felt her skin burning.

’’Coming at it again,’’ Aleister took another step closer, ’’Was. he. here?"

’’In the Castle, in your prison or....’’ Greta laughed, the burn in her body became intense ’’I won’t tell you,’’ she spoke through gritted teeth.

Aleister raised his hand towards the lava river and soon the fire started climbing higher. The temperature in the prison suddenly rose and the ground started shaking.

’’You... You are insane....’’ Greta struggled as she panted for air. Fire. She dreaded fire. The fire was like a nemesis to witches and she, being a witch was no exception, ’’I’ll speak..I-I will speak,’’ she shouted.

And the temperature in the prison dropped instantly.

’’Before I lose it....’’ Aleister tilted his head, ’’Speak!"

’’What are you so arrogant for?" Greta laughed, her body was filled with sweat and tears were still rolling down her cheeks, ’’You can’t kill me. If you kill me, you will die too.’’

Aleister narrowed his eyes.

’’You have divine power in your body. You know that too, don’t you?" The woman asked, ’’It will kill you if you don’t use it properly. I can see it...’’

When the man did not say anything, Greta realized that she had already gained the upper hand. After all, how could she not when she knew him more than he knew about himself?

’’I can see that you have already over-exerted your powers and your limited time will be up anytime you do it again,’’ she smirked as she lowered her head to look at him, her white hair sticking to her sweaty face, ’’You can kill humans, you can kill beasts but do you think you can kill me? I am the maid of the greatest witch’s descendant. I am a witch too. If you try to harm me, you will over-exert your powers and I will be taking you down with me. To our graves,’’ she smirked.

Aleister tilted his hand and waves started forming from the core of the lava river.

’’You...’’ A shiver crept down her spine. What is this man made of? Was he not afraid of death? Greta gritted her teeth, ’’He is two steps ahead of you. Why do you think the King died? And how do I know about it despite being here?’’

Aleister’s brows tugged together and the realization slowly started dawning on him.

’’It was a plan all along,’’ she tilted her head, ’’And you are trapped. While you are here, interrogating me, he went after whom he wanted. No matter how fast you run, you can’t catch up to him."

So, this was the reason why capturing Greta never gave him satisfaction. It was way too easy to be true.

’’You lost!’’

’’Or not,’’ Aleister closed his eyes and in the next moment, he disappeared from the spot where he was standing.

The last thing that Greta remembered was that arrogant smirk etched on his face. He can teleport. That bitch’s son can actually... teleport...? He... inherited that special power from his father.

If Cardan knew about it, he would not be happy.

But still, she needed to tell him and his mother about it. No, she can’t waste any more time here.

She closed her eyes and the chain on her right hand broke.

’ROAR’

The ground started shaking and rocks fell into the lava river. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

Greta trembled. She looked at Leo whose eyes were looking at her fiercely.

He leaped forward and pounced on the woman.

’’AHHHHH!" A bone-chilling scream resounded in the prison as Leo ripped off her head from her neck and landed on the other side of the lava river.

He glanced at the head in his paws in disgust and threw it in the lava river.

The fire fizzled for some time and a huge wave appeared in the lava river before everything turned calm.

His Master can’t kill her but it doesn’t mean he will let her go.

Suddenly, a wave of dizziness shot in his body, and his legs turned weak.

Leo slumped on the ground.

Rowan witnessed this scene when he entered the prison.

He was stopped by Duke Maverick outside but now he was being welcomed by the sight of the half-torn body of that witch and Leo...who was weakly laying on the ground.

’’Leo!’’ He crossed the lava river from the side and ran towards the beast but his eyes widened in disbelief all of a sudden.

Leo’s body started shrinking and soon the huge beast was replaced by a small furry white animal.

If Esme was here, she would have recognized him as the ’young Leo’ whom she saw in Aleister’s memories.

Even Rowan recognized him. He had seen Leo’s younger self but he was too stunned to react. What in the world happened?

It took him a moment to regain his composure. There were even witches in the Daven Castle. What else could be more shocking? Not to mention that they always knew that Leo was not some ordinary beast.

He dropped to his knees, ’’Leo, what happened to you?" As he looked at his face, he realized that Leo’s eyes were tightly shut.

Rowan frowned and looked around the prison for any signs of Aleister but the man was nowhere to be seen. What exactly transpired here in his absence?
