Big Bad Wolfie novel Chapter 76

Abaddon stared at the man he ordered to shoot me mere seconds ago that's now lying dead on the ground.

He no doubt noticed the obvious signature of the blackened skin and instant death for most.

Others weren't so lucky as to get struck somewhere near the heart or brain, and so they writhed on the ground as the poison rushed through their veins, tearing apart nearly everything it touches until it reaches those precious organs.

I could tell the moment he recognized it.

For a split second his face showed the fear that fills all of us when we think of these things.

But it hardened and shot up to meet my slightly panicked gaze.

"Hybrids," he growled.

I nodded.

This is the f*cking Blood War all over again.

The Blood War: The sequel!

. . . : The second one.

. . . : Continued.

. . . : Part two.

Okay, I'm done.

Jason's POV

I watched with a slack jaw as Abaddon's warriors completely lost interest in us or Maria and fired blindly into the woods at whoever just attacked them from behind.

"What the f*ck just happened!" Zach yelled, wide eyed.

I looked at my parents, hoping they wouldn't say what I thought they were going to.

"It's them," they said simultaneously, both glaring darkly.

So darkly, I don't think I've seen my mother with such an expression since she looked the man who killed my brother in the eye before she ended him.

No. Not man.

Monster.

Hybrid.

They're practically interchangeable at this point, though.

Abaddon hopped out of the tank and stared into the woods like the rest of us.

Clearly no one was expecting anything like this to happen. Both sides need a second to recuperate.

After a few moments, he swiftly turned toward my Maria and started marching toward her.

My muscles tightened as I had the urge to jump in front of her before he got to her.

Before I could act on any of my instincts, Abaddon abruptly stopped right in front of her, said something I couldn't make out and, stuck his hand out to her, like he was expecting her to shake it.

I frowned.

Who in their right mind would shake this guy's hand after he just stormed our territory? Does he really expect her to —

Maria grabbed it and gave it a firm shake with a crisp nod.

"What just happened?" Zach voiced my thoughts.

"History is repeating itself," My father explained cryptically with a far off look in his eye.

(A/N: There's been a lot of looking and gazing and glaring and watching in this chapter, and I apologize for that haha. It's a little weird. I'll try and fix it when I go back and edit the whole book.)1

Now's not the time to be mysterious, father!

"That doesn't explain why Maria just —"

She appeared in the doorway, effectively cutting Zach off.

Abaddon close behind her.

Well this is different.

Malaki growled at the sight of Abaddon so close to Maria. We know how he feels about our mate. He doesn't need to be anywhere near her.

"Hello friends," Maria spoke swiftly, seeming to glide into the room. "Meet our new ally," she gestured to the vermin Abaddon.

'I can't believe that not that long ago we were that guy's b*tch'
