The Cursed Lycan - Chapter 49: Chapter 49

Laura's POV
I stood in front of the mirror, my eyes blazing with anger and frustration. My plan to destroy Ella had finally failed totally, with little of no hope left for me, and I was going crazy with rage.
I had spent months plotting and scheming, gathering information, and setting my trap, but in the end, Ella had managed to escape all my clutches, and just this morning, after going missing for days, she had returned with her entire power unlocked.
I had been so sure that my plan was foolproof, but I had underestimated my opponent, having so much patience instead of striking with full force.
As I paced back and forth in my room, I muttered curses under my breath, my mind racing with thoughts of revenge and what exactly to do next. I couldn't believe that I had failed, that my carefully laid out plan had crumbled to dust.
I had always been a wicked woman, full of envy and malice, and I had never cared who I hurt as long as I got what I wanted. But now, my obsession had consumed me, and I was spiraling out of control.
I threw objects around the room, smashing everything in sight, screaming at the top of my lungs. The realization that my target had won had pushed me over the edge, and I was beyond reason.
As I collapsed onto the floor, my body shaking with anger and despair, I knew that I had to come up with a new plan. I couldn't let Ella get away with this. I had to bring her dead body to the demon king as I had promised.
But for now, I was lost in my own madness, my mind clouded with thoughts of revenge and destruction. There was no way I could settle for defeat and let the alpha go scot free after all he did to me.
He was the reason I left my pack and came here to exact revenge on him. I gave my soul to the devil worshiped by the demons, and initiated myself into their kingdom, making me one of them.
Tears streamed down my eyes as I thought of my dark and horrifying past. It's a story that I never tell anyone, a chapter of my life that I try to forget. But when I think back to that night, the memory is burned into my mind, vivid and raw. It caused me nothing but deep pain and rage.
The night when Alpha Darren took my parent's life for a reason I had never known till now. I don't want to know. I don't care to know whatever reason he has until I destroy him.
My parents were spies for my pack and always put their lives at risk just for the safety of every pack members. They make those sacrifices, and I knew one day it might end up so bad. We lived in constant fear, hiding behind masks and shadows, convinced that the pack was secure enough to protect us from the enemies they had spied on.
Alpha Darren was the last person they spied on. His pack was the last before their lives were taken, and when I ran to our Alpha, crying for help, he did nothing and sent me off. He won't even take me in. No one in the entire pack accepted me to stay with them because they were scared Alpha Darren would come for me soon, so they didn't want to risk their lives, forgetting that my parents had been doing that for many years.
For this reason, I didn't care to help the demons destroy the werewolf world. They are all wicked souls who don't care about anyone but themselves. It's my turn to turn selfish and watch them perish.
That terrifying scene of my parents' deaths lingered in my head and fueled more rage in me. I can still remember it all vividly, and each time I look at the Alpha, who thought I was his mate, his face kept reminding me of the devil reincarnated, which he was. The demon created the fake Mate bond for me to get close and eliminate Ella so I can exert my revenge on Darren in the most gory way I have in mind.
That night I watched in horror as Alpha Darren, his eyes glowing with a fierce, tore my parents apart. He was a creature of the night, his movements quick and deadly, his claws ripping through flesh and bone as if they were nothing more than tissue paper.
My mother screamed as the Alpha lunged at her, his teeth sinking into her throat with a sickening crunch. Blood gushed from the wound, spilling onto the ground in a crimson pool.
My father, a strong and burly man, tried to fight back. But he was no match for the Alpha's strength and speed. In seconds, the creature had him pinned to the ground, his claws tearing through my father's chest like it was made of paper.
I watched as the life drained from their eyes, their bodies going limp and still. The Alpha, satisfied with his kill, let out a deafening howl that echoed through the night.
I wanted to run, hide, and forget what I had just seen. But I was frozen in place, unable to move or speak. My mind was consumed by the images of my parents' death, the sound of their screams ringing in my ears.
He looked around to see if anyone saw him, but he didn't find me behind the door, where I hid. Then he sped out.
I wouldn't let this monster get away with what he had done. I vowed to make him pay, no matter the cost. And with that thought, I made up my mind to seek revenge, even if it meant selling my soul to the demons.
Little did I know, the demons would take more from me than just my humanity. They would demand everything, leaving me a shell of the person I once was, consumed by darkness and pain.
But what I didn't realize was that making a deal with the demons came with a heavy price. I was forced to undergo trials, to prove myself worthy of their power and acceptance. I was thrown into a world of darkness and pain, a world that I had never known existed.
At first, I was filled with confidence. I believed that my desire for revenge was enough to carry me through anything. But as the trials went on, I began to doubt myself. The demons were cruel and unforgiving, pushing me to my limits and beyond.
I watched as others fell, unable to withstand the torment. But still, I persisted. I was determined to prove myself, to show that I was strong enough to wield the power that the demons offered.
And finally, after what felt like an eternity, I succeeded. I was accepted into the clan of demons, granted the power that I needed to exact my revenge.
But even as I stood there, surrounded by the creatures that had once terrified me, I felt a sense of emptiness. I had lost something along the way, something that I couldn't quite put my finger on.
It wasn't until later, after I had left the demon clan and was alone with my thoughts, that I realized what it was. I had lost my humanity, my sense of self. I was no longer the girl who had watched her parents die, no longer the girl who had once dreamed of a normal life.
I was something else now, something dark and twisted. And even as I prepared to carry out my revenge against the Alpha, I couldn't shake the feeling that I had made a terrible mistake. That the price I had paid for power was far too steep.
They said I couldn't use my dark powers until Ella had died. They told me she was the guardian of the pack, and if she doesn't die, nothing will work out, but at the same time, her death had to be a suicide.
This was the reason I made life hell for her and possessed her mother with my inner demon, thinking it was the easiest way to kill Ella, but the young girl already had a powerful beast in her, and that is what made her survive it.
The beast was what I feared because it almost killed my inner demon if I had vanished from her mother's body quickly.
I had done a lot to push her to suicide, but she was resilient and determined to live, and I was stupid and slow, thinking I had a lot of time left.
"We don't trust you to kill Ella anymore." I turned in shock when I heard the rough and deep voice from behind me, and the smell of demons filled my nose.
My pupils dilated as I noticed a dark figure appear in front of me, its eyes glowing with an eerie red light.
It was a demon, one of the many I had made a pact with in my quest for vengeance.
"How did you got in here?" I exclaimed, and he hissed at me, taking a few steps to and fro.
"The demon king sent me. Only you can see me and smell my scent because you're one of us. Now let me deliver his message to you." He began, his face cold as always. I could recognize this demon as the second in command.
"We lost one of our top ranked demons to Ella and her mate. We can't afford more losses, but for the loss they gave us, they have to pay. Ella recognizes you, so your stay here is coming to an end. She kept you alive so she could use you to find traces of us." He said this, leaving me frozen in fear.
"What? How?!" I cringed, jumping to my feet.
"You need to kill her father now before she returns. Let's go" He snapped, curtly.
