Allure Of The Night-Chapter 522 Embrace Of The Ghost

Vincent no longer had to hold Erasmus as he didn't have any more ability left in him.

Erasmus complained, "You are supposed to be dead! You died!"

Anchor stared at the werewolf with no pity in his eyes, and he responded, "Who said I am alive."

This took everyone by surprise, and Anchor continued to speak, "I died the day my beautiful Nerhys died. I couldn't live without her, but we all have a purpose to fulfil, don't we?" He turned to the side where Vincent and Eve stood. He said, "Like the vampire there. Even though he has the dirty blood of that King who stole many things from me, he has been protecting my daughters. My daughter had the purpose of bringing you here, so that we could finally end what your family began."

Erasmus glared at Anchor, and he picked up his dagger. Pushing himself to stand, he went to attack the sea creature, "AH!!!"

But Anchor only raised his hand to stop the werewolf from getting near him and said, "You have caused too much agony to me and my family, it is time to breathe for the last time."

Eve shouted, "Wait!"

Anchor turned to look at his daughter and said, "Surely you don't think this man is worthy to live, do you? People like him are parasites who will cling to others and try to repeat the same crimes he has already committed."

Eve left Vincent's side and made her way to where Anchor and Erasmus were. In the meantime, a wide and hopeful grin made its way to his lips. He said to Anchor,

"You seem to have missed the point that Nerissa and I have bonded."

Anchor's expression didn't change, and he rather appeared to be amused. He replied,

"Did you know that parents offer know a lot of things about their children? I knew my daughters, one in light and the other in dark, but they were never meant to stray. They are after all, mine and Nerhys's children. You say you bonded with her, but isn't it strange that your mark on her is non existent now?"

This was something Eve and Vincent had always wondered about. They had also believed that the reason for her missing wing on her hand in the water was because of Erasmus, but it seemed that they were wrong.

"Nerissa belongs to me and so does her powers!" Erasmus shouted in anger.

"Did you know that a siren can bond only that life?" Anchor stated in a matter-of-fact tone. "It was only Marina who could because of her mermaid nature. If you think about it, she came back for revenge for her sister and her mother's death."

When Eve came to stand next to Anchor, she said, "Let me complete the promise that I made to myself, father. I swore to avenge the deaths of this man."

Anchor was a siren, and he didn't care that his daughter's hands would be covered in more blood. He instead stepped aside and said, "He is yours to kill. Make sure his screams echo through not just the forest but are also heard in the sea."

Eve's slit eyes stared at Erasmus, who now had a look of fear. It was because the werewolf could feel his abilities gone and he was only a regular werewolf now.

"Nerissa, I love you! I am the only one who loves you!" Erasmus pleaded with her, adding, "You cannot do this to me!"

When Erasmus raised the dagger, it was only trampled on by Vincent's foot to keep it down.

Erasmus cried out in pain as he felt the bones in his hand being crushed. When he used his other hand to claw Vincent's leg, the pureblooded vampire used his ability of the command to push back the hand into an iron grip.

Nerissa spoke through Eve, "I told you we would see who would die this evening. You will now pay for the sins that you committed," and she raised her hand above her head before bringing it back down as it turned sharp and long.

Within a second, she bent down and her fingers pierced through Erasmus's chest.

"AHHHHH!!!" a loud scream ripped through Erasmus's mouth as he felt his chest being ripped open, while Eve looked at him with calm eyes.

Eve pushed her fingers further and said, "This is how you killed my mother, didn't you? Feel every nail and finger of mine now... that wraps around your fragile heart."

"Don't do it!" Erasmus shouted in pain and pleaded, "I will be good, I will be good! I won't harm you and promise to--"

But Eve pulled his heart out of his chest and drops of blood fell on her face and clothes, while she stared at Erasmus's eyes that started to fade and his body finally went limp. She stared at him with a slight smile, knowing she had done what she had told herself.

"You did well," Anchor praised his daughters, and placed his hand on her shoulder.

Vincent helped Eve stand up and watched the way Erasmus's body started to change once again. With Erasmus gone, the werewolf's body turned back to his initial self, and that was James Sullivan.

Suddenly a silence fell in the atmosphere along with a certain calmness. Anchor praised Eve, "My dear daughters."

Eve tore her gaze away from James and looked at Anchor, her eyes moist. She didn't remember how her father looked until now, but she was glad to have him here now. Anchor raised both his arms, spreading them wide and without hesitation, she took the steps forward before hugging him.

Eve was engulfed in Anchor's big arms that hugged her protectively. Having never known about her father until now, she didn't realise how much she needed him. How much she needed to know and remember about the importance of his existence.

Tears fell from Eve's eyes, and Anchor placed his hand on her head, "I am sorry that you had to go through this by yourself."
