Chapter 129: Make Your Choice!

Lottie POV

As I materialised in Astaroth’s demonic dimension, a chill crept through my veins, sending shiverscascading down my spine. The very essence of the realm seemed to writhe and twist, morphingand contorting in a grotesque dance around me. Panic clawed at my chest, threatening to consumeme whole, as I frantically searched for any semblance of escape.

“Charlotte!”

“Kitty!”

Amidst the chaos and the cacophony of unearthly sounds, two familiar voices pierced through thedarkness, a beacon of hope amongst the despair. Their voices were quickly joined by the SparrowBrother’s panicked cries.

“Save her!” I heard Chase scream, my heart pounding in my chest, a wild rhythm matching thechaos around me. My breaths came in ragged gasps as I spun around toward the cries to face theportal, the swirling vortex that seemed to pulse with malevolent energy. It mesmerised me with aforce I couldn’t resist, pulling at the very core of my being.

“Sage!” I whispered, wanting her to fight for our freedom, knowing I wouldn’t be able to do it myself;the hold the demon had weaved into my mind was far too strong. But it was too late; I could senseher slowly fading into a soundproof cage buried somewhere in the depths of my mind where evenour mate’s voices couldn’t reach her.

My eyes glued through the portal to where Havoc and Kane’s voices blended together in asymphony of fear and determination, their shouts mingling with the roar of the wind supporting the

portal. I could see the panic etched on their faces, their eyes wide with terror as they fought againstthe invisible barrier that kept them from reaching me.

Time seemed to slow to a crawl as I stared into the depths of the portal, my vision narrowing tofocus solely on the two figures racing towards me. Kane’s rugged features were twisted in a mask ofdesperation, his usually stoic demeanour shattered by the fear of losing me. And Havoc, ever theloyal beast, his jaw set in determination as he pushed forward, ignoring the danger that lurked justbeyond.

I wanted to reach out to them and tell them that everything would be alright, but the words caught inmy throat, choked by the overwhelming sense of dread that washed over me. The demon’s laughterreverberated in my ears, a cruel reminder of the perilous situation we found ourselves in.

“Behave, and you can go back to them.” I heard Astaroth scoff into my mind like the sick fuck hewas

“Make your choice!” Astaroth sneered brutally, as he stepped beside me holding his hand out forme to take. When I didn’t move, a sly grin slipped onto his lips as red lightning sparked from behindus and flew through the vortex and slammed into Kane. Undoubtedly Astaroth’s way of showing mehe wasn’t making an idle threat.

The soul–crushing sound of Kane’s cries filtered through to my ears as pain racked the mate bond. Iwatched him topple over Havoc’s feet ceased their sprint

“It’s ok!” I mouthed, seeing Kane register my words, his face paled, as Havoc pushed forwardtoward me, his decision made. With a surge of adrenaline, I made a split–second decision. Iwouldn’t let my mates sacrifice themselves for me, I simply couldn’t bear the thought of them facingthe same fate that awaited me on this side of the portal. With every ounce of strength I possessed, Iturned away from them, my eyes fixed on the demonic bastard before me.

“No!” I heard Chase scream from behind me as I took a hesitant step forward, my heart pounding inmy ears.

The air crackled with energy, the very fabric of reality warping and twisting in

response to the ancient magic that held sway over this place. I could feel the pull of the abyss, aprimal force that threatened to consume me whole as it closed behind

me separating me from those I loved.

“Our only hope now is that this demon scum will keep his word and return us unharmed.” Iwhispered to Sage before remembering she had been silenced by

“I never said unharmed.” He laughed bitterly, his eyes levelled on me with intent that had mystomach locked in fear.

“Whatever.” I whispered, but I refused to let him see me give in to despair as I looked back longinglyat the portal hoping to see that Havoc or Kane had made it through in time and we would facewhatever this shit was together.

My eyes widened in horror as everything changed. The portal began to shrink, collapsing in on itselfwith a deafening roar that drowned out the sounds of my friends‘ cries. Panic surged through me, aprimal instinct urging me to flee, to escape before it was too late.

Reality dawned on me as I watched my mates on the other side of the closing portal, their facesracked with anguish and heartbreak that for some reason, I could no longer feel.

“This is a mistake.” I whispered, and from somewhere deep down I felt the strength I possessedreturn as I refused to back down.

“We should be together, always!” I challenged as hope returned to my core and with one final push,I hurled myself towards the portal, my body twisting and contorting as I fought against theinexorable pull of the abyss. And then, with a burst of blinding light, that knocked me to my feet anda ferocious roar, Swallowed whole by the darkness that awaited me in

his demonic realm.

it was gone!

“No!” I sobbed, but just as sorrow threatened to overwhelm me, a new presence emerged, aglimmer of light in the abyss. I sensed the familiar aura, the reassuring warmth of another,piggybacking on the demonic magic that bound me. With a surge of hope, I turned to look at thedemon to see my steadfast ally, lunging through the darkness that had torn me from my world.
