Sortie, Angel of Death Chapter 20

Alpha King Vandor

For more than 70 years I have known that my son existed, I searched every country until I found who stole him. That lowly wrench that gave birth to him cursed me in her dying breath that I took. My mate wanted a child to raise, and I scoured the earth to make that happen. Finding the nymph was that of pure luck. I took more then one failed attempt to bring my son to life but I managed to do so. When that witch forced her magic to subside so I could join in fatherhood was the happiest day. When the trolls that kept guard of that useless vessel for my son to be born I was thrilled. Trolls always try to bid with the high power but that thing had fire magic. I burnt my flesh more then once trying to conceive.

To think she brain washed those idiot to make them think that my son would kill everyone under my care. Ha, it still makes my skin crawl. Why the hell did she curse the father of her flesh to not know his face? I refused to believe that he will not come to me. How awful of a woman (if a nymph could be called one,) do you have to be to take a child from their own fleshy father. The trolls hid well, but I found them. Every last one. I can still taste their disgusting flesh in my mouth. Why would they think they could get away? I missed him through my search. The lead from other alpha showed up but none of them could give a correct picture.

The dying breath of those troll said they removed the powers from my child. My prince! Yet I felt it release on my journey to him. Anderson found him, I am sure of it. However, the idiot lost him and is life. I can taste how close I am to him now. He awaken from the nap and feed this full moon. My body shakes just thinking of laying eyes on my boy again. His magic pulls me fast to the remote local he feast but I wonder how happy he will be to see me?

“Honey, do you think our son will be happy to see us?” my mate whimpers as she muzzles my neck.

“I am sure he will be happy, my love;” replying with a sigh.

“How wonderful will it be to have our family together again…”Her day dream voice so full of longer makes me want to hold her near. Yet, we still of several miles to go before we meet my scouts.

“I do wish to know why he stays with a vampire.”

“May be he feels indebted to it?” my sweet mate says tilting her head like a pup.

“We will know soon. The trail is said to be faint, so be on the out look for the scouts. When we find them we will set up a surprise for the duo tonight.”

“Oh, how delightful. I love surprises.”

The journey has been long but time means nothing when some thing has been stole from you. This country is pitiful but he stayed here, may be when I find him I will give him this country. I am sure my mate will not approve, she so wishes he would come back to our home.

“My love, how many years have we been gone from our home now?”

“Oh, silly; about 70 years. Soon, we will all get to go home though, right?”

“If that is what my love wants.”

When the sun begins to set my troops, scouts, and I stand at the edge of the woods surrounding the south entrance. My plan is simple, we ambush then together. The prince may have a guard that I am told is strong but what can bring down the king of this world’s army? Nothing, not even the old magic it self. Which is why the old magic hides from the monsters it made. “HAHAHAHA, tonight we fight my warriors and tomorrow we celebrate the return of the prince!” My mind link spreads to my men and mate all of whom cheer from the sheer joy tomorrow brings. “Warriors stealth mode, be alert and quick. If he runs he may disappear again from us. Then I will feast on you all to satisfy my sorrows. Now we move!”

Quickly we find a truck with a roaring fire in front of it cooking some kind of meat. Stepping forward I look in the cab to see no one nor in the bed. As my anger begins to boil I look at my men hiding in the shadows noting all of them just as confused. The have to be here. My men kept this spot locked in sight. I storm to the tree lines looking high and coming up empty. This place is vacant, I came to late yet again. Unable to control my growing anger a growl rips through my lips.

“My love,” my mates voice rings over the open link to us all.

“What?” I spat still trying to find the evidence I need.

“I found them.”

“WHAT! WHERE!” silence fills the space for a long moment before I realize show never was suppose to follow us. I left her with my strongest four scouts where we met before we headed out. “SHIT!” I exclaim before booking back the way we came. Flooding my body with adrenaline forcing my self to be faster. Until my feet stop on their own at the sight before me. A gray ish dog sitting in front of my mate with gold eyes shimmering. Looking past it I find a brunette vampire smiling at me with emerald eyes dancing with mischief. Yet, my son no where to be found.

“SURPRISE!” the vampire yelled with laughter strangling her voice. “Do you not love a good surprise? I hear you do!”

How in the world would she know that? My mate shaking in fear as the vampire closes the distance to her neck. My body morphs so I could show this weak little vampire who she was dealing with. Yet, her eyes just laughed as her face turn into a loon.

“Oh ho, now I see. You see, I have been wondering for a while how C. J. could exist now it makes sense.” Looking to my mates eyes she asks, “and you were fine with him cheating? That goes against the law in bedded in your very genes. You know the code right? That the old magic used?” Waiting a moment for an answer before sighing, “the code how lycanthropes used their powers before to lure too many innocent into indecent act of the sexual nature so they were curse to be with their wife from before and only their wife. What was the last part?” Placing a finger on her lip she looked around before looking at the dog in front of her. “Will, do you remember?” Silence filled the air as she stared at the beast that kept it’s eyes on me. “Oh, your right. If one of you fail to comply you will never be able to leave the other side for more then an hour before death rakes it claws into your heart. One who cheats leaves the other a mind less fool to chase. HAHAHAHA! So tell me ‘ALPHA’ what would happen if I drained her blood?”

“I would be carrying a dead body around the rest of my life.”

“I do not believe that could happen for I would have her essence, her body would not.”

“Then I would be force to shackle you and her to me for life.”

“Awe that sounds annoying. I think, mind you this is just my thought, but I think if I killed her you would have an hour to live, an hour before her essence that I took becomes mine. Then you would die.”

“Do you wish to continue to live?”

“Why are you going to try and kill me?” Nodding my head as my men had already began approaching her from behind. “HAHAHAHA, how silly of you to think I came to a fight unprepared. My little, wittle, Will, Will here as cast a itty bitty little spell. This bubble I am in is invisible but it is impossible to break through. She can sit here for days, months, years, so on and so on if she so chooses and I will forever be protected. Oh, and one more thing I have food right here.” She says pointing to my mate.

“GRRRRRRRRRRRRRROWL!”

“Awe, is the big bad wolf mad? How long can you go with out touching? With out eating? With out being able to breath?” The mad woman’s eyes turned sinister as her words came out softly. How could they have missed her coming here!

“What do you want blood sucker?”

“Easy, I want you all to die. You see I have no problem with destroying each and every one of you abominations but I want to know why you been following me? I want to know what I can do. For. You.”

“I just came to retrieve my son, who has lost his way.”

“Oh?” her high pitches fain innocence with the tilt of her head but the eyes told me she already knew. “Do you have a picture I could see? May be I have seen him.”

“You have traveled with him.”

“Oh? What does he look like? Then I can tell you what travel partner he is.”

“Stop toying with me vampire. Do you not know who I am? Do you think you will be able to walk out of here alive?”

“NEWS FLASH: I am not alive nor do I much care if I die.”

“What of the mutt?” I say pointing to the beast who snarled at me.

“Will, Will will not die. To kill my little Will, Will you would need fire magic. Your flesh tells me you have none. Zip, Zero, None.”

“Oh? I could get one with that magic then.”

“HA! Wolfy’s little magic will not affect her nor will any one that would acknowledge your cause.”

“YOU SMUG LITTLE BITCH!”

“Hey, that’s so unfair. What did your mate do to you to cause such bad language?”

“GRRRRRROWLLLL! HOOOOOOOWWWWWWL!”

“Awe you are singing. You know your son liked to sing too when he was upset.”

“WHERE IS MY BOY!”

“Well, some is in my tummy and some in Will, Will’s and some I gave to some nice wolves that smelt the fire from my camp out.”

“What?”

“Oh you must be dense, I killed him at the first of the full moons. He tasted delicious.”

“HAHAHAHAAHAHA, you are insane if you think I would believe that story.”

“Oh, why would you refuse the truth?”

“Because vampires can not hunt well on full moons and I felt my son’s power he is strong. Vampires can not feed on a Lycanthrope or werewolf on the full moons.”

“Oh? Really? Hmmmmm, I guess it can not be helped then.”

“You finally going to tell me the truth?”

“Yes.”

“Good little sucker, and the truth is?”

“My name is Sortie,” her calm voice sent chills down my spine. That is not a name you say. The vampire is the grim reaper for the grim reapers. No one has been alive to tell what Sortie looks like, less what gender it is. Sortie is only known for killing mass numbers of supernaturals in short times. There is no way that one would joke about being Sortie. For her to say that name so calmly only means the old magic sent it’s right hand to eliminate me. My son was murder by the harbinger of death itself, and I will be following close behind.

Old magic can not bring it’s self to kill a creation that it formed with magic. So the story goes it created a being able to eliminate all those who it made before. Sortie is suppose to be able to even have the strength to be able to remove the old magic if it so saw fit. Sortie is death in human form. My pack, my kingdom, my life will all come to an end. I have no choice but to try and obliterate Sortie.
