Chapter 34- Amara

“I need to talk to the kids that will be shifting.” I said firmly as I stood outside the cabin.

"Who all are shifting?” Leo asked timidly.

“If it's up to me only three of them will be shifting. As there is no other choice but to let Zeno shift,

it will be him, Francis and Fabian. I am not sure about Ben, Ethan, Lucas, Hudson and Archer. There

is no need for them to shift but the three boys would want to fight and as they don't have the

Alpha, Ben would have to lead them. As for Ben, he doesn't do anything without his twin. We have

more chances of a good battle with them together than separate. If Lucas, Archer and Hudson

complies with not shifting, only three people will be shifting.” I explained.

“Well that sounds complicated. How are you going to merge all these wolves in so less time? It will

take a toll on you. We do have a battle to fight.” Carter voiced.

"We don't have a choice, do we? I can say that we have at most of a week to prepare. Those two

guys dying will alert them. Aria told me they seemed to be scouting in private. We need to hurry

up.”

He nodded. I was about to talk when I heard movement in the woods. Everyone went into defense

mode. Are the demons attacking us now? We are not even slightly ready. We waited for the intruder

to show themselves in a tense silence.

I sighed in relief as the first person broke out of the tree line into the clearing. She was followed by

another and five more people joined them.

“Cass you scared the shit out of us.” I complained.

The evil witch cackled at our state and plastered a smirk on her face when she was done laughing at

our expense. Grayson shook his head at his wife with an amused smile. Sometimes I pity him.

"Well we couldn't miss the fun. We made our way here as soon as I saw what was to come. I picked

up this vampire family on the way. I thought they would be useful. We can use as many hands as we

can get on the battle field.” Cassidy's smirk went wide as she pointed towards the Knight family.

The Knights looked like they would rather be anywhere else than here. Especially Alexander. His face

had turned into hauntingly void of any emotions.

I rubbed my forehead to get my bearings together. With everything going on, I don't think it's a

right time for the Knights to reenter Arias life. My baby is already going through so much.

“I had a premonition.” Cassidy started, this time with a serious expression. Ahh! She means business.

“The demons are planning very carefully for the attack. They are ready in every aspect. The leader is

powerful but nothing Amara can't handle. We need to forge a sword to kill that asshat of a demon

but that won't be hard. I will do it but Amara will be the one killing him.”

I looked at her with my jaw hanging open. She was talking about killing a high level demon like she

was arranging a tea party.

"What the heck are you on about? What sword? How the heck am I supposed to kill him?” I asked.

I heard Steven chocking with laughter beside me. I am in a dire need of a normal person in my life.

“Well demons are creatures of darkness. Though weak but they dwell in the darkness.” Cassidy

started like she was talking to a two year old. “A spirit walker is a part of the light side but a

powerful one. I will forge a sword which you will have to plunge into the demon’s heart with

transporting your spirit energy through the sword into the demon’s heart. It will kill him. But the

energy needs to be very powerful. We might need to take some...uh... drastic steps.”

I looked at her confused.

“What do you mean by drastic steps?” I asked.

“We will talk about that later.” Cassidy said hastily. What is she hiding? “First we need to focus on

the shifting and hiding of our children and non-shifters.”

"Yeah we were just discussing that part.” Leo said.

“I have already talked to Austin about the possible hiding conditions. He is in for it. In a way they are

in danger as well. At least we will be able to protect each other together.” Cassidy said sighing.

This woman is always ahead of everyone. I couldn't help myself but laugh at the bouncing witch. In

a way, I relieved that she is here. I was starting to lose my mind with the situation. I think everything

will go smoothly now.
