The She-Devil And Her Alphas-Chapter 337 - Three Hundred And Thirty-seven: Ruler Of Hell

"Fiat lux, docebit Vos," Sabrina mumbled, inscribing something on Ashton's forehead while everyone else watched.

"This would guide you so you don't lose your motive. Hell can be pretty distracting and keep your focus. You know we're sacrificing you for a valid reason and for that, it would bind your demon side from making an unnecessary decision," She described.

Since there was no other choice but to sacrifice her son, Lia had gone over what had happened to her twelve years with Sabrina. They can't help Ashton over there but they could prepare him and keep him updated on what to expect for a smooth trip.

"Also, the mark would lead you directly to?Daniel and there you can solicit for his release. We'd have the replacement ready on our side," Ashton was briefed by the witch.

For this event, they have moved very far away from Little Town and Kinney village; from human habitations to be precise. They weren't sure how far the portal to hell would stretch to this time and they didn't want to take any chances with human life.

"Are you ready?" Sabrina asked him.

"I am," Ashton said without a trace of fear in his gaze. This was something he had to do. Even with his father, Ashton around, he had seen how much his mother suffered and mourned - she blamed herself for everything - and now he was going to change it.

"It's time too, Lia," Sabrina reminded her of her role, handing the holy relics over to her. ƒ𝓇e𝙚𝔀𝐞𝚋𝓃𝐨𝘷e𝙡.𝒄𝗼m

Lia took a deep breath and received the blade from her - the same sword that had brought up all these problems.

"You should let me do it if you can't," Asher offered to be the one to stab Ashton. After all, what mother would have the heart to murder their own child?

"No," Sabrina refused, " She has to be the one. There's a sexual bond that exists between mother and son, it would help keep him in check down there instead of bringing back an army of demons to avenge his death,"

"It's alright, I can do this," Lia assured him.

There weren't many people who had come to witness this significant moment. Though Lia wanted the twins to be as far away from here as possible in case things went wrong but the girls had been incessant and here they are. They wanted to be here for their brother and welcome their father home.

"You do know I love you," Lia grasped his face in her palm, caressing his cheeks, "And would never harm you unnecessarily?"

Ashton answered and said,

"I know that mother," 𝒇𝘳ℯℯ𝚠𝙚𝑏𝗻𝑜ѵ𝑒𝙡.co𝑚

"Close your eyes, Ashton," Lia told him and when he had obeyed, quickly drove the knife into his chest.

Immediately, all breath left Ashton's lungs, but it didn't hurt like it was supposed to. Was it because he was leaving with love? At once, he fell but his mother was there to catch him and she lowered him gently to the ground.

"Be safe, my child," Lia wished him well, a tear falling off her face to drop on his face as he gave up the ghost.

Hazel couldn't watch and hid her face in her sister, Hailey's chest, who threaded her hand through her hair comfortingly.

Asher had his fist clenched by his side, he of all people knew the risk they just took but he had promised her nor could he live with his mate mourning her loss every day.

Immediately, the ground began to shake as if an earthquake was occurring.

"Step back everyone!" Asher warned as the ground beside Ashton where his blood had flowed began to crack open.

"It has begun," Hazel's eyes rolled back to the back of her head exposing the white only. Knowing her sister was the most vulnerable when having a vision, Hailey had to pull her away. They already had problems bringing back their father, added burden wasn't needed.

"What do you see?" Lia walked over to her daughter.

"He's searching,"

"I need more details," Lia pressed

"He's searching,"

"Come on, give me something! I need to know! Has he found Daniel?! Is he safe?!"

"Lia!" Asher pulled his mate away, "Cut the girl some slack,"

"I need to know, I'm so scared. What if I like both Daniel and Ashton?" Lia panicked.

"We are not going to lose anyone, we come a long way and we will achieve what we came here to do," Asher told him, then hugged her. Her mate and son were on the line here, Lia needed all the support she could get.

"He's found him," Hazel revealed, "But where to go?"

Everyone held their breath and was smart enough not to disturb the girl so she didn't come out of her trance.

"They've found him,"

Their breath hung, this was the point where everyone was waiting for and that was exactly the point where Hazel returned to herself.

No one blamed her to be honest, because they had a faint idea of what was happening thanks to her.

The next minutes were nerve-wracking for everyone. It could be said that Hazel had left them at the climax of everything. But suddenly, a hand appeared out of the crack that glowed darkly.

Heart pounding in their throat, everyone took a deep breath and a step back. Could it be a demon? That had been the exact way they had crawled out twelve years ago.

"Hailey takes flight and leaves with your sister," Asher was about to issue the order when another hand crept out of the crack.

However, to everyone's shock, Lia took a bold step by walking over to the hole and gave a hand to the creature that was obviously trying to crawl out.

With a grunt, Lia pulled out a man who collapsed on her with his entire weight. Daniel? Everyone was curious as hell.

Then he lifted his face and they all gasped, it was as they thought. A smile broke across Ryan's face, the alpha was back.

Daniel's return dazed everyone that they forgot the next step until the ground quaked.

"The replacement!" Asher reminded them.

At once, Ryan and Gideon tossed the captive werewolf into the crack, and immediately, it closed up. Everything had an order in life and they had disturbed that balance by removing Daniel and had to be restored.?That werewolf they had tossed in there was a criminal who wouldn't be missed. In fact, hell would be glad to have him.

Lia stared bewitched at the figure on top of her and tears collected in her eyes. Not minding that his weight was crushing her, she wrapped her hands around him and wept.

No one dared to interrupt them, not even Asher, this was her moment; twelve years wasn't as little as it seems.

"Why are you crying, Beauty?" Asked Daniel, who now braced himself on the ground, holding his weight from crushing him. He couldn't understand why this beautiful woman was crying when he should be the one thanking her for saving his life.

"Thank you, thank you for surviving," Lia refused to let go of him and would have cried further if she hadn't remembered something.

"Ashton!" She pulled away from Daniel and hurried over to where her son lay, Asher already beside him.

"Why is he not waking up? Daniel is back already, he should have resurrected already," Lia was worried.

Asher looked over to Sabrina for an answer, "I cannot really tell but there might be chances he might not want to return,"

"That's impossible, I came back," Lia reminded her

"Because you were on a mission to bring about the end of the witches," Sabrina told her, "Unlike you, Ashton didn't go down to hell for revenge but redemption and now he's done, why can't he have some rest? Back here, he's not allowed to flaunt his demonic powers since people are biased against it but there, he's free, and not to mention his grandfather is a high-tier demon. You can simply say he's found his habitat, "

Lia was outraged," You knew this and yet you didn't tell me?! "

"I didn't exactly know, call it a hunch or something. Though Demons don't possess human affection, there's still that primitive need to increase. Your father let you leave, what're the chances he would let his grandson slip past him too?"

Lia shook her head stubbornly, "No, he can't stay there. I refuse to let him stay there - damn that old demon!"

Then she faced her son's corpse, "Hey baby, I know you're in there, come on, mama needs you," she shook him, "Don't listen to your damn demonic grandfather! You're more loved here. I know the idea of ruling hell might appeal to you - I know you've always loved your dark side - but I don't think having a horn on your head would look good on you,"

Yet she got no response.

"Come on," She began to slap him in the face, "Don't do this to me! I'm your mother for God's sake!"

Still, no response

"Remember your mate, Sophia for fucking sake!"

Instantly, the boy arose with a gasp.
