Chapter 15

Reunion After Being Seperated

Holly appeared right in front of the doors to her father's castle. Guards yelped as she put two daggers through their neck. She knew the ones that helped with her father's torture and those that were loyal to her and Cedric. Holly pushed the doors open and stepped in as a grace of a warrior.

Soldiers ran for her while those that were loyal to her disappeared into the shadows. One swift move and Holly had her sword in her hand and winnowed as she slashed through the men. Holly walked down the hall, clutching the sword handle in her hand. Fury and rage of all the fifty years being separated from her friends and her mate. The abuse she suffered. Holly would make sure she help the High Lords in defeating her father when the war comes.

The King of Hybern stood from his throne of bones as Holly came in, dressed in leathers and a bloody sword in her hand. Cedric and Ella looked up and eyes widen as Draco charges at her. Holly knocked the sowrd out his hand and put the tip of the blade to her brother's throat. Hatred was in her eyes.

"What is the meaning of this?" The King demanded. Holly's mismatched eyes turned to her father.

"Amaratha is dead." Silence filled the room. "The human solves the riddle and Tamlin killed her." The King's lips curled in a snarl. "Your plan failed father." Draco moves forward and the sword nicks his neck. "I wouldn't move any closer, brother."

"Then you are to stay here." The King all but snarled.

"Actually no." Holly said, holding her head high.

"What did you say?" Draco snarled.

"I'm here to say bye father. I'm heading home to the Night Court. My actual home." Holly said.

"I forbidden you to go." The King said. Holly tilted her head in a feline way and a smile krept over her face.

"You made a mistake sending me to the Night Court, Father. You sent me there to get beaten to submission, but you didn't. I got stronger and became a fighter. And thanks to you. I found my mate." Holly said. The King's eyes widen. Holly's hand that was resting on her dagger. She pulled it out and threw it at her father and it hit his shoulder. Draco let out a yell, but Holly was gone as she winnowed away with a laughter on her lips.

Holly winnowed above the House of Wind, above the arena. Holly closed her eyes as she smelled the air of Velaris and the laughter of children as her body fell. She was home.

Strong arms caught her and she wrapped her arms around a neck as flapping wings came. Holly wrapped her arms around Azriel's neck as he headed for the ground.

"Azriel." Holly whispered. The mating bond was still there and strong.

"I got you." Azriel said as he landed on the ground. He set her down and she kept her arms wrapped around his neck. "Cauldron I missed you."

"I missed you too." Holly said standing up on her tiptoes and presses a kiss to his lips. Azriel kissed her back.

"Holly!" Holly and Azriel pulled apart to see Mor running for her friend with Amren and Cassian behind her.

"Mor!" Holly said, running for her best friend and Mor threw her arms around Holly and they held on.

"Where is Rhys?" Amrin asked.

"He stayed behind to make sure things go well. He told me to go home." Holly said as Mor let go and Cassian pulled her into a hug.

"We got our Warrior Princess back." Cassian said.

"Your covered in blood." Azriel said.

"It's not mine. I sent a message to my father I wasn't coming home." Holly said.

"Get the girl to your home, boy. Take as long as you want with her." Amrin ordered. Holly walked up to Azriel, who pulled her into his arms and they disappeared into the shadows to head to their home.
