The Black Alder Series (Books 1-3)

Kayla Pov I transported my friends and Alvarez to the Firelands. The land underneath me seems different somehow. It’s like I can connect with every particle here. I can feel the energy through them. My friends had celestial energy around them that protected them from the sun’s energy in this land.

“How do we find him?” Ethan asked.

“This place is huge,” Aiden said after

I crouched down and touched the earth. A path of lava started to form into a line.

“We follow the path,” I told them. They looked at me in shock.

“Your powers are manifesting faster than I thought,” Alverez said as we walked down the path.

“Yes, I met my celestial spirit. It turns out she is a twin sister to the moon goddess,” I told the twins.

“Does she look like a mom?” they both asked.

“No, she looks just like me; it was strange,” I told them.

“I’m just glad she brought you back to us and that you were able to chain up our dark lycans again,” Ethan said, holding me by the waist.

“I agree; I felt so powerful, but it was dark and twisted. I’m scared we even have that inside of us. I’ve never felt pain of that magnitude,” Aiden said.

“You lost me; I’m your mate, and we lost each other. It’s understandable,” I told them. Then I paused, making everyone stop walking.

“I don’t know what is waiting for us at the end of this path, but promise me you will not let them go again until you learn to control them,” I told them.

“Kayla, if you die again, we don’t think… Ethan started, and I flared up into my celestial form.

YOU WILL PROMISE ME NOW, I commanded, and I heard their Lycans whimper.

“We promise,” they said together.

“Good,” I said, reverting to my normal form and kissing them on both cheeks.

We followed the lava stream to the castle when I first arrived.

“He is in here,” I told them.

“It could be a trap,” Alverez said.

“Only one way to find out,” I told them, and we all walked inside. At first, there was nothing. It was silent. Way too silent. The twins must have noticed because they got into an attack stance quickly.

Suddenly, these demon-like creatures started pouring into the castle. They seemed to be made up of lava and rocks, with four stone arms and a pitchfork ahead. They surrounded us quickly.

“You didn’t think I was going to make this easy now, did you, Katiana?” Solem taunts.

“You always seem to hide behind your pets. First my old pack, now this lot. Aren’t you supposed to be this all-powerful fighter or something?” I taunted. I needed his attention. The guys could take out the demons.

“Bitch”. He spat, and my twins growled. “KILL THEM,” he commanded.

The demons instantly charge at us.

Alverez uses his power and strikes lightning from the skies, which takes out some of the demons. The explosion blew the entire roof from the side of the castle they were in. My twins are conjuring energy around their signature weapons, causing the room to smoke as the demons disintegrate once they get hit. I caught Solems smirking through the smoke before he took out his black fire wings and flew out of the area.

“I’m going after him,” I told the twins.

“No,” I heard them say, but I had already changed to my celestial form. My wings seemed to flame just as hot, and they felt stronger than before. I flew after Solem. Somehow, I could see a trail of ash that looked like he left behind with his wings. He landed in a clearing, and I landed too.

“Do you think you’re ready to fight me, little sister? I taught you everything you know; you will lose, and I’ll enjoy killing you and taking your power,” he says, pulling a sword from his belt.

“We will see,” I told him. I touch the earth and use my essence to create a flaming sword of my own.

“Cool trick. Begin,” he says, running to me, and our swords clash. He is attacking hard, and I’m in defensive mode, blocking every hit. I kicked him a few meters away from me. He drops his sword in the process.

He then turns to his black magic and creates a ball of energy, shooting it towards me, which I deflect with a shield made from energy. It disintegrates.

He did not like that one, but.

“I have the full power of the phoenix. I channel black magic. I channel the sun. Give up now, and your death will be much smoother. I may even spare your runts,” he sneered.

Threatening my friends is a big mistake. I shot up into the sky, my wings flapping violently. They formed immensely powerful winds, and they generated a massive ball of energy.

Solem created a shield, but he wasn’t able to block the entire blast.

I dropped back down on the ground, throwing more balls of fire at him, but he deflected each ball with one of his own.

KAYLA, I heard behind me, and I turned around quickly, but that was my big mistake. Solem rushed up to me, stabbing me with his sword through my lower stomach, and I fell.

“Look at your pathetic mutt’s little sister, unable to save you once again,” he taunted. The twins were running fast, but they wouldn’t have made it in time. Just as he was about to behead me, my inner spirit blasted full power out of me, and I could see it blast for miles. It sent Solem falling back. I was still injured, and my boys took over the fight as I tried to heal myself. 3rd Person POV Aiden and Ethan saw their mate fall. Just as Solem was about to strike the killing blow, her essence spread from her. They made a shield to block them from the coming blast. Alverez was transported back to the packhouse due to the injuries he sustained. Kayla would be pissed if they allowed the only real family she had left to be killed.

“Ah boys, come to meet your maker,” Solem taunts.

“Just shut the fuck up,” Ethan says. Ethan creates a blue stream of power and blasts it into a straight line towards Solem, who deflects it with the sun’s rays. Aiden runs to Kayla.

“Mi amor, are you okay? Amor, could you be so reckless?” Aiden says she is trying to stop the bleeding.

“I’ve been hitting him with everything I have; he can’t be killed,” Kayla breathed.Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.

“Stay down, my love.” Aiden kisses her head and joins his brother, who is blocking Solem’s attacks.

Aiden and Ethan changed to their supreme form and attacked Solem, who now has two swords. Both of their lycans were almost 8 feet tall and had smooth, silky fur and muscle. In their supreme form, they were bipedal wolves, meaning they stood on two legs and had two long arms with razor claws attached.

Kayla gasped when Solem managed to tear one of his swords into Ethan’s shoulder, but Ethan seemed to retaliate instantly and managed to get a claw into Solem’s abdomen while Aiden clawed through his leg. Solem staggered a bit, but he regenerated instantly and blasted them both with sun energy balls that went through their arms. They both fell.

Watching her friends get injured while she couldn’t heal herself to fight with them was causing Kayla even more pain. She channeled her inner spirit. What should I do? She asked for it. Your memory of this place holds the key. Remember.

REMEMBER The spirit yelled, and Kayla felt herself being pulled into a dream-like state and saw herself with Solem the first time she came here in spirit. She saw herself inside the castle, learning about him. “You’re my brother,” she saw herself say, her eyes wide. Solem chuckles.

“Well, half-brother, but yes, I am. We share the same mother, and I have the same power as her. I can be brought back to life every time I die. Only a direct blast of the full power of the full sun can kill me, and no one in our family could ever survive taking on that much power, so it would probably end up killing them in the process. Your father granted me a little celestial power instead. Only descendants of the Sun Spirit have the ability to harness the Sun for an exceptionally long time.” Solem said.

Of course, she said

Kayla was brought out of her dream-like state and brought back to the present. She created a small ball of sun energy and cauterized her wound. The wound started to heal up, and she felt her energy come back. The twins ended up tearing into his stomach as he fell to the ground.

“DIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIE,” Solem spat out as the boys walked towards Kayla, turning back into their human forms. I walked to them, and Solem wobbled as he tried to stand up. He created a huge ball of energy that would kill the twins if they got hit. Kayla ran up to her twins as the ball of energy came rushing towards them.

NOOOO, she yelled, and she took her wings back out, flipped behind them, wrapping them instantly in her wings, and took the blast in her back. The blast didn’t have the effect Solem wanted, as he fell from generating power that wasn’t his. Kayla’s wings seemed to have absorbed the blast as she pushed her twins out of her wings and turned around.

She rushed over and punched through Solem’s throat, grabbing his spirit. His phoenix spirit flew into the sky. She then used her sun energy along with the twins’ moon energy, and they all hit the flying phoenix, causing it to shriek and explode.

It was done-that is, until Kayla collapsed and wouldn’t wake up.
