was sexier than I thought. Thallon nods at me, making it clear no one else will interrupt me.
“My name is Kaitlyn Lightson, and I was once human. I led a normal life, but I saw ghosts, I saw the dead that roam the earth in search of a home. Many of you believe I am simply the mate Ren chose, but I am more than that. I know what it is to not have a home, to be forced to hide and not trust even your best friend. I was that girl before I met Ren, and even the angels could not be a home for me, because I knew in my soul I belonged somewhere else.” I pause as whispers float around in the crowd. “I became half-vampire, and in this time, I found out my ancestors were master vampires, and I held the power to be one. So when the fake god, the light above or Great Light, took my wings and angel powers from my soul, my vampire side was finally free. I am a master vampire, and so is my mate. We will make the vampire race rise from under the angels’ feet and push them off their throne.”
The chatter of the crowd is so loud now, and my nerves match their noise. “All those who treat angels like gods will fall. The vampires will rise, and I promise each of you that I will be a queen you will be proud of. Are you on my side? Are you ready to prepare for the last vampire war? A war the angels will never, ever forget?”
The cheers that follow the last word that leaves my lips must shake the walls of this dimension. As my people cheer, they each bow down on one knee, and I swear to myself I will fight for my people.
This was always my destiny.
Chapter 60
“The child should leave for this conversation,” Warren, one of Madi’s scarier mates, states as he appears in the room, next to Madi. These tales have a bad habit of just appearing in places and making me jump out of my skin. Madi says you get used to it, but I’m sure some of her mates are doing it on purpose for a laugh. The pains in the arses they are. I put down the cards I was playing with Aala, trying to cheer her up or at least distract her, as I look at Madi and see the worry in her eyes. I’m coming to know Madi quite well, and she is one of the strongest women I know, so I know for certain something is wrong.
It’s been three days since we got Ren back, and even though the vampires are on my side, we all need Ren to wake up. He will know what to do next. Myles, Thallon and Henry have been amazing, helping me with Aala, who is trying to find her place in a world she feels she is alone in once more. Hopefully, in time, she will see that we aren’t leaving her side. Aala’s eyes fix on me, and I can feel her heavy gaze even when I don’t look her way.
“Kid, why don’t we go and find out what the cooks are making for tea?” Myles gently asks Aala. I hear her say sure, and they both leave as I stand up, wishing Thallon and Henry were here. They are in the real world, in the tales city, helping with the gathering of blood for all the vampires here. Thankfully, the tales island is thick with woods and many animals that live in them, making it possible to find the blood that we need.
“The angels are making an army. Gabriel sent us word, and they will attack all the supernaturals in three days if you and Ren aren’t given to them before then,” Madi says, and I nod. I expected as much.
“I understand if you want us to leave,” I firmly state. “I’m asking you to fight a war with me.”
“Before we came here to tell you, we held a meeting with all the leaders. We have all decided to fight at your side, and in return, if we ever need it, the vampires must come to our side,” Madi offers. “I understand you want to wait for Ren to wake—”
“We accept your offer,” Ren’s voice fills the room, and I swiftly turn around to see him standing in the middle of the corridor. His large form makes the
