Chapter 773

Chapter 118 : A Deal With the King

My heart leaped into my throat and for a moment, my mind panicked. He could and would kill me. Then he’d go after Pomeni pack and rip them apart one by one, just because he could. Even if I laid my life on the line, it wouldn’t be the end.

He’d try to kill anyone that I was close to, anyone that I helped.

And my baby… Soren’s baby. I couldn’t make reckless decisions anymore because it wasn’t just my life I was dealing with.

The only problem was, I really didn’t know how to do the soul exchange!

If I failed, it would bring the same outcome.

Luckily, the moment I reached for the artifact in Sebastian’s hand, it started to glow and hum, like it recognized my essence or who I was—the artifact was calling out to me!

Thinking quickly, I picked up the knife. I could try to make it look like I had an idea of what should happen, but the moment the knife touched my hand, I suddenly just knew what to do. Without hesitation, I sliced open my palm, letting the blood pool into my hand.

I spilled a few drops of my blood on each part of the artifact. They all started to glow even brighter, humming louder.

The stone and the sheath rose into the air and the dagger trembled in my hand. I released it and it floated up with the other pieces. They swirled around each other and then merged together into one.

The dagger had a gorgeous blood-red gem in the hilt, the Moonlit Crystal, or according to Soren, moonstone. The sheath no longer looked dingy and drab. It was embroidered with glittering, shimmering red designs. Even the dagger looked different. The blade had the same design as the sheath etched into it.

The dagger slid into the sheath and it floated back down.

“Well done, well done!” Sebastian gushed excitedly. His hands trembled a little and I was able to step back from his grip.

He didn’t try to grab me again, so I walked over to where Dylan was strapped to the altar.

“You’re really going to listen to him!?” Dylan yelled at me.

I pulled the dagger from the sheath and hesitated.

Sebastian was cunning, manipulative, and dangerous. He’d proven that more than once. I knew the horrible things he’d done now and I didn’t doubt that they were true.

He’d hurt everyone I cared about, my friends and my pack. Doing what he wanted me to wasn’t the most pleasant thing. However, Dylan and I were not in terms either.

If I could save everyone that was important to me at the cost of Dylan’s life, it wasn’t a bad deal.

I gripped the knife tightly in my hand, the blade trembling slightly.

Sebastian stepped up behind me and grabbed my neck again, his thumb pressing against my pressure point. With one hard squeeze, I’d be dead.

“Do it, now!” he commanded. “I’m losing my patience. I’ll count to three and if you still haven’t done it, you and your baby will be dead! Along with everyone else you care about. At this point, I’m leaning towards killing you all!”

I gritted my teeth and raised the dagger higher.

“Three!” Sebastian cried.
