it. Gods, I hate myself right now. Wiping away my tears, I narrow my eyes on the double doors and the fake god behind it. This is all his fault. He did this to me and Riley. I run to the doors, gripping the chains tightly, and pull them apart like paper in my anger. I wrench the doors open, the blasting light flashing into me as I step into the room. The pressure of his power instantly tries to make me submit, but it doesn’t work like it did before.

I’m not an angel anymore.

“You can’t control me. That’s why you hate the vampires, isn’t it?” I chuckle, pulling out the dagger he made for me. “The child of your own creation can kill you. Funny how fate works like that.”

The three ghosts hover in the room, and I look directly at them. I don’t know how much of them is left, how much they remember, or if they are empty souls of goddesses that once held so much power.

“Help me stop him, and then we will be free,” I plead with them. The goddesses all turn to me, and each one nods their heads. They walk into the light, and it flickers before going still, giving me the time I need to kill it.

Yes!

“I am a god, you cannot kill me!” he roars as I run right towards him, dagger held in the air. “You are nothing compared to me! Compared to the time I have lived! You are—”

He halts as I throw the dagger at the light, and I watch as it disappears into him. For a moment, fear cripples me that it didn’t work, but then the spot where I threw the dagger starts to turn black, bleeding light onto the floor and making a giant hole in the ground.

“I am Kaitlyn Lightson, Queen of the Vampires, and you will be forgotten, fake god,” I shout as the floor starts to violently shake, almost knocking me over, but I manage to hold onto the wall to hold me up. The light above screams, the noise so unholy and painful that I wonder if my ears will bleed. I cover them as I run out of the room, turning to the clearing for Ayda when I see she isn’t there, and instead, the floor is covered in fallen pillars. Rushing, I grab my whistle just as another shake sends me flying across the floor towards the edge of the castle. I grab hold of a rock, cutting my hand and arm as I struggle to hold onto the castle. The screaming of the light above comes to a sudden stop, and I look up as white light explodes from the room he was in, and the blast pushes me far into the air with no one to catch my fall.

Chapter 68

Erendriel Raloxisys

Smothered in angel blood, I swing my sword through another angel before tossing him aside and tugging my sword out of his chest. The battlefield is nothing more than bodies and blood, lining the grass and rocks like ribbons on a painting. Wolves run through the crowd, leaping into the air and catching angels’ wings, dragging them to the ground for vampires or demons to finish off the kill. Everyone is working together, keeping each other alive even as so many more angels flood the battlefield, and our numbers are struggling, that much is clear. I run across a small clearing, just as Henry runs angels through with his spear and steps back, meeting my eyes.

We both think the same thing. Where the hell is Kaitlyn?

I sense her, and she is fine, but she isn’t near. A noise like no other rattles in all our ears, and we all come to a stop, looking up at the sky where the noise is coming from. I just about resist falling to my knees at the noise, but everyone else other than the angels, doesn’t. The angels float in the air, many hovering above the large sea in front of us, looking up at the sky.

“The Great Light is dead,” Henry gasps, holding his chest just before he falls into the mud and blood. Angels everywhere suddenly pass out, falling to the ground or into the sea in front of our eyes.

Suddenly I know exactly where my mate is. And who she just killed.

“Catch the angels! Don’t let them drown!” I shout across the field. I may hate their existence for what they have done, but this is not
