“Look at them.” Her father gestured to the shackled vampires. “They still haven’t recovered from her screams. It seems her voice can twist their insides into nothing.”
Fatou shook her head. “Part of me. . .hoped that one day I could. . .get your forgiveness and even your love, but. . .”
He scowled at her.
“Now, I don’t need it.” She looked at Jade and then me. “I have all thereallove I will ever need. Bye, Father.”
She turned around and walked away.
I followed.
“You can go,” her father called back. “But, Jade will not leave this castle.”
Fury bubbled in me. I stopped and turned around. “What did you say?”
“You should have stayed away, Fatou. I prayed that you would die on your mission.”
Tears left Fatou’s eyes.
“Perhaps, God doesn’t listen to my prayers. When your mother was pregnant, I wanted a son.” He shook his head. “I didn’t complain when I got you. I should have. Instead, I did my best to raise you to rule, and you threw it all away for lustful creatures.”
Fatou returned to me and tapped my arm. “Let’s go, Azar.”
“No.” I growled. “All problems must be solved today. I am ready for our happy ending.”
“Yes.” Her father clapped. “Please, go for that happy ending, but the child stays. I need an heir and she will rule. Jade has power.”
Fatou bared those fangs. “I will not leave without her!”
“Fangs?” Her father’s face twisted in disgust. “You’ve turned into one of those blood-sucking monsters.”
Fatou pursed her lips, covering the fangs.
A dark laugh left him. “You wanted my forgiveness? My love? You will never get it. . .monster.”
Growling, I rushed for him.
Fatou yelled, “Azar, don’t!”
But, it was too late. His men couldn’t stop me. Each time they charged my way, I slapped them back. In seconds, I had my hands wrapped around his neck.
Monster?
His crown fell to the ground.
You will die today.
He struggled against my grip.
I tightened my hold, doing my best to choke all the life out of him.
Leave. Die.
“Azar, stop!” Fatou cried. “Please!”
All of our enemies die today. No more.
Then, a glowing bright light filled the space.
