Author’s pov
Dark power filled the air as Belinda suddenly appeared in front of Cecilia.
Black shadows swirled around Xenia’s small body like smoke.
The witch’s eyes burned with crazy desire as she reached toward Cecilia.
“This child belongs to me!” Belinda snarled, her voice full of evil.
Alpha Sebastian moved lightning fast. His huge wolf form jumped between his mate and the witch.
His fur stood up with protective anger as he took the full hit of Belinda’s dark magic.
Black energy crashed into his body, cutting his flesh and breaking his bones.
Blood splashed across the deck as three ribs cracked loudly.
Even in pain, Soren kept growling.
“You will never touch them,” Alpha Sebastian’s voice came from the wolf’s throat, rough but clear. “Not while I’m alive.”
Cecilia bent over in pain, holding her stomach.
The baby kicked harder than ever before, like it could sense the danger.
Each kick felt like her child was fighting back, refusing to accept the witch’s claim.
“The ritual has already begun,” Belinda laughed, pointing toward the center of the yacht’s ballroom.
The fancy floor cracked open.
An old stone altar slowly rose up from below.
It was covered in glowing symbols that pulsed with sick green light.
Evil energy radiated from it.
“Three centuries of preparation,” the witch said, starting to chant in a language that made people’s ears bleed just from hearing it. “The sacred binding will not be stopped.”
As the chanting got louder, Alpha Sebastian fell to his knees. His wolf form fought against an invisible force trying to control his mind.
Cecilia watched in horror as his golden eyes flickered between normal and completely black.
“Help him!” she screamed.
Alpha Xavier and Alpha Gavin rushed to Alpha Sebastian’s sides. They each put a hand on his massive shoulders.
Beta Sawyer and Tang completed the formation, loyal to his Alpha no matter what.
They helped him fight the mind control trying to take over.
Golden light began to glow around them, pushing back against Belinda’s darkness.
In the middle of this power struggle, something unexpected happened.
Xenia’s body shook violently.
For a brief moment, her real self broke through.
“Mom… help me…” the real Xenia’s voice emerged, scared and childlike. “She’s… inside me… the ruby… her weakness is the ruby…”
Maggie had just run into the ballroom after hearing the noise.
She froze when she heard her daughter’s true voice.
Her face changed from confusion to shocked understanding.
“Xenia! My baby!” Maggie screamed, pushing through everyone to reach her daughter.
“The ruby!” Cecilia pointed to the blood-red gem hanging from Xenia’s neck. “Xavier, Gavin—destroy it!”
The two Alphas moved together perfectly, attacking from different sides.
