The Black Alder Series (Books 1-3)

Roland’s Pov A blinding light comes out of nowhere, and I fall back. The power that burst from the light was unlike anything I’ve ever felt before. This power burst was strong. Strong. The light seemed to shine brighter, and it burst from the top of the cave. Rocks are crashing down, but not many to hurt anyone. Everyone is on the ground and slowly standing up, myself included, once the rocks have stopped moving. The light source is dialed down. It dials back down to Elena. The moon was full tonight, and it seemed to shine only on her. Her body floated upward as the magic cuffs around her stopped spinning and snapped as if the moon itself were unlocking them, picking her up and bathing her. Her hair turned from the brown I’m used to to pure silver, with hints of white. Her clothes burned off, and a white dress was replaced. It clung to her body like a second skin. Her eyes were still closed, but when she was put back on the ground, they opened. Her eyes were blue, but they glowed. Everyone stared at her. No one moved a muscle. Elena Pov I woke up. The first thing I noticed was that I was under the night sky. How the hell? I look at my body and see the white dress. It’s the same one I wore on my walk with the moon goddess. My hair is silver. Silver white. Like the moon goddess. I feel so much power radiating from my body as I look up at the moon. I looked at Marcus’ body. I’m sad, but it’s no longer Marcus. Marcus is with the wolves in the moon goddess forest, and I will always be able to reach him, so I’m not worried anymore. I can feel Marcus watching me from the forest he is in. I can feel my father watching. I can feel the moon goddess watching. I feel strong. Strong. There were two women in front of me. Two women who have caused so much pain. And I will make them pay, but first I need to get everyone away. I wave my hand, and a clear rectangular wall shoots up from the ground. I snap my fingers, and everyone other than the two witches is on the other side of it. They can’t enter the arena I created, even though I hear them trying. Roland and his wolf are calling for me. I get in a defensive position. I’m finally back to full power. I smiled at Snow. The witches decide to attack first. Aya shoots a ball of energy and shoots it at me. I use the white energy I have to create a shield as well as a sword. I deflect her ball of energy as it bounces off my shield directly back to her. I toss my sword of energy, and she deflects it. It falls to the ground. She tries to pick it up, but it burns her hands. I dissolve my shield, channel two balls of energy, and shoot them at Aya and Diane. It misses Aya, but one catches Diane in the leg, and she falls. “Bitch,” Diane says. Good “You think you’re a powerful bitch,” Aya screams. Watch What Real Power Is’.

Aya levitates, creating a massive powerball. She shoots an energy beam at me. I don’t attempt to block it. I can hear the screams of my packs. Once she finishes shooting her balls, she stops. HOW THE HELL, she yells? I’m still standing in place. I’ve been absorbing power. I am energetic. I am light. I take the energy and let it engulf me. I take them in each of my arms and put them up over my head. I drop them down behind me quickly, letting the energy pulse from my body. The beam filled the whole area, so she couldn’t dodge it. She screams and falls out of the sky. Ahhh, she yells in pain. Diane creates a lightning ball, sends it my way, and uses my hand to deflect it back to her, but it misses. Aya creates a binding spell, and I feel vines pulling up to grab me. “Remember Your Training,” I hear Will link me. If he is here, then Hank is too. I’m happy. My family is here watching me. My family gives me strength, and my will is right. We’ve practiced binding spells before. I focus on the energy in the vines and direct it back onto the ground. The vines release me and retreat. Let me out. I separate Snow from me in spirit form. She is growling at Diane and moves to strike her. Diane throws balls of energy at her. I let Snow handle it. I focus back on Aya. Aya was caught off guard by my parting with Snow because she didn’t see me coming. I ran up to her and kicked her in the stomach. She hunched over. I elbowed her in the back, putting force behind it, and she hit the ground. I used my hand and lifted her body. I slammed my hand against my side, and she hit the ground again.

It’s time to end this. I shoot ropes of energy to hold her body in place.This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.

YOU ARE FUCKING BITCH, ILL FUCKING YOU. YOU WILL DIE, JUST LIKE MARCUS. I ran to her body and front-flipped over her body, hooking her head in my hands mid-air, and I tore it off. My robes of energy drop her lifeless body to the ground. I can see the snow has bloodied up Diane. I bring Snow’s energy back to me. I advanced towards Diane. “Please, Elena, don’t. I was only doing what Aya asked me. I promise, I’ll disappear. You won’t even hear from me again. Have mercy on me; I’m your mother,” Diane pleads.

Diane backs away as I walk towards her until her whole body is on the energy wall I created. I see Roland and my family right behind the portion of the wall Diane is backed against. I smile. MY LOVE. My family. I turned my eyes back to Diane. “I’ll show you the same mercy you showed my father,” I told her, and, as I recall, mother, I made you a promise.” Flashback to Elena Pov (14 years old in the dungeon). “Hear my words, mother. One day, no matter where I am or how many years it will take, I will find you, and I will rip your heart out as a tribute to my father, but before I do, you will know the true definition of pain and fear, and you will suffer a thousand deaths before I allow you peace. Head me, mother. Tread carefully. I made this promise to you. The last face you will ever see will be mine.” Elena POV, Present Day I use my right hand to lift her against the wall, while I channel energy into my left hand. I crush the energy beam into her heart and rip it out. She falls dead.

I take down the wall, and my vision fades. I see Roland reach out to catch me before I collapse in his arms.
