chapter 215
Orion POV
I chased after Mara, trying to get to her before she got to him. But just when I thought I would get a
hold of her she would disappear between my fingers. “Mara No” I scream at her as I see her body start
to ripple when she makes her way to hole in the ground. I could Thaddeus across the otherside. But
Mara didn’t understand he is not her father while he is like that. Evie grabbed a hold of me as we fought
from being tossed into the fiery hole of hell. I just make out Mara appearing next to her father.
Fear coursing through me when he doesn’t recognise her, instead I watch as he conjures more
and I feel Evie’s grip loosen as she is pulled toward the hole. Before being ripped away from. Her
scream sends my blood cold as I see her clawing at the ground trying to stop the invisible force
dragging her. I let go of the tree. I had a hold of the wind blowing me and smashing me into her. I grab
her before she slides in my hand clutching a piece of rebar jutting out of the road.
“Thaddeus!” I call to him, the fire burning my feet, Evie screams as fire burns her legs and I turn
trying to see Mara and see if she is okay but she was still tugging on his pants trying to get his
attention. The wind carried her little voice to me as I clutched onto Evie, trying to pull her higher. Mara
asks him to hold her. Her broken cries pulled at me.
“Wrap your arms around my neck” I tell her and she does as I lift her pulling herself up higher.
“Mara” She cries looking over my shoulder.
“Climb up” I tell her using a free arm to push her up, she tries to reach the edge but falls back to
me. I shove her up again pushing on her ass just the rebar bends from the heat, my hand slipping
down as my grip loosens. Evie grabbing the edge just in time.
“The wind is too strong” She screams over the wind.
“Thaddeus!” I scream trying to get his attention.
Mara looks over at me, her little eyes going wide before her eyes dart to her mother then back to
Thaddeus. Her eyes glowing before her hands do and she touches his leg. Only nothing happens at
first. I look at Evie before reaching up and pushing on her feet as she pushes off my hand shoving me
further down the rebar but she was able to swing her leg, remaining close to the ground as she forced
herself over. I feel relieved that she wasn’t about to fall to her death when I feel the metal melting
beneath my fingers. “Get Mara” I scream to her before it gives, the bar sliding out and I lose my grip.
Evelyn POV
I haul myself up before turning around on my stomach and digging my claws into the melting road.
My fingers burned fiercely as I fought the urge to dislodge them. An avalanche of debris heading
straight toward us as Thaddeus magic was consuming and swallowing the entire city slowly. I looked
down at Orion before reaching one hand down to him but he was too far from my reach.
“Get Mara” He screams up to me. A shriek leaving my lips when I see the bar slide out of the
melting road and he drops. My scream rang loudly when I felt hands grip my waist, yanking me back
and Orion was suddenly suspended in the air. Looking at who grabbed me, I find it is Ryland.
“Hey love” He says and I notice Imogen standing beside him. Her Hand on his arm. Her eyes
blazing and the air suddenly stills. Dying out around us before starting again as her magic fought
against his. Her other hand palm down holding it above Orion and I realise she is holding him in place
so he doesn’t plunge into the lava below.
“Get to Thaddeus, I can’t hold this long” She gasps out and I could see the sweat beading on her
skin, her eyes flickering as she fought against her son's magic.
“Mara” I yelled to her. Her little head whips to me.
“Bring mummy to daddy” I told her hoping she could. I would never make it over there. Her eyes
glow before she is suddenly hanging onto my jeans.
“Hey baby, take me to daddy” I tell her and I feel the suction of her magic warp around me, her
magic was weaker but she still managed it and I find myself standing next to Thaddeus. I gasped at Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
what she did, looking down at her as she clutched my pants. I shake Thaddeus, nothing. I even
slapped him. Calling his name but his eyes were pitch black and he laughed sadistically. The sound
sends chills up my spine when he raises his hands. It was like he didn’t even know we were next to
him, not even registering anything. I look at Imogen hoping she could tell me what to do when I see
Ryland grab Orion's arm, yanking him up and clutching him to him.
Imogen is staring at her son before her eyes fall on Mara in panic. I grab her, pulling her up to me.
He was destroying everything and I watched Imogen grab them before misting out, taking them
somewhere.
“Daddy wont stop, make him stop” Mara cried tears slipping down her face, I reached up running
my hand over his chest and stopping above his heart, sparks rushing over my hand yet he didn’t feel
them . I look up at his black eyes, black veins snaking around his body before he looks down at us, his
eyes flickering for a second before he shakes his head and looks straight ahead again not recognising
us.
Mara cries louder, the wind picking up speed and I grab him, sandwiching her between us and
protecting her from the wind and stopping us blowing away as I wrap my arms around his waist. The
noise becomes louder as the wind picks up in intensity, the heat in the air growing hotter.
“Mara baby, you need to mist out of here,” I tell her.
“I can’t” She cries, her arms clutching around my neck.
“Feed on me” I tell her but she shakes her head.
“No, me stay with daddy,” She screams at me. I shake my head.
“You need to leave daddy, he is being bad” I tell her not knowing how to tell her, her father was
going to kill us. She shakes her head.
“No daddy good, he my daddy” She cries, turning and clutching him. I feel him falter, the wind
stopping for a second before restarting and I realise he was fighting it.
“Tell daddy,” I tell her. Pushing her higher so she could reach his neck. My heart was hammering in
my chest that she was so close to his face and he could literally rip her apart and feed on her but I
didn’t know what else to do. She grabs his face before hugging him. Her little arms going around his
neck and I hang on tighter. Listening to her talk to him and listening to her cry. The sound is breaking
my heart.
“I love you daddy” I hear her tell him, making me look up at her, her head on his shoulder as she
kisses his chin. I was going to have to drag her away. The wind is picking up speed, and I look around
for a way to get out of here. I knew Mara wouldn’t mist us out when suddenly everything fell silent. The
wind stopped abruptly and I felt a hand in my hair pulling me closer.
“Daddy?” I hear Mara say, making me look up.
“My girls” Thaddeus says and I feel relief choke me.
Thaddeus leans down kissing my head and I clutch him tighter. He presses his lips to Mara’s
cheek before inhaling her scent. The sky clears and I see the fire smother itself. Sending plumes of
smoke into the air.
“Let's go home” Mara says, her hand patting his cheek.
