Chapter 67
*****Dani's POV*****
Approaching my fathers limp body as it lay on the dirty wood flooring was far too surreal for me.
"We all need to be touching for this to work, come closer." Lupin yanks me softly towards him, as I gasp in fright from now being only a metre or so away from my father.
"Trust me he won’t be waking up any time soon... close your eyes." Lupin nods, as I inhale a shaky breath before grabbing Mrs Lorence with my other hand.
"Don't worry... you'll see Lily soon!" I encourage her, as her eyes water from my statement however she remains silent.
"Ok do it." I close my eyes, allowing the darkness to engulf me as it did once before.

******Axels POV******
"Alpha don't! He's cursed… it’s a trap!" Draco yells, as I freeze instantly.
"What the fuck do you mean cursed?!" I haul my brother to his feet in an instant, maintaining a vice grip on his neck - allowing only a tiny gap for air to keep him alive.
"He made me place a curse on him... that would rebound and poison whoever kills him..." Draco explains, as I turn to see Nolan and Grey pinning a struggling Halliday to the wall.
"What's the catch? There must be a way to lift it?!" I rage, as my patience runs low from the whole ordeal.
"It's a strong curse... I'm afraid I don't think there is a way to reverse it... someone would have to kill him and suffer the consequences..." Draco sighs, seeming defeated by his own magic.
"Hmm..." Is all I manage to muster, as I glare at Cassio hanging almost lifeless in my hand.
Better let him breathe before I accidentally choke him to death... and on that note I drop him with a thud to the floor.
"Stupid bastard!" He coughs out in gasps, as I roll my eyes.
I still can't believe such a pathetic being has caused so much drama for me and my family...
"Dad will be even more ashamed when I tell him how weak you are." I laugh mockingly, angering him as he makes a swipe for my leg with his claws.
"Scratching? Seriously? Don't be such a fucking pussy!" I laugh, dodging the attack effortlessly.
"I mean... if I can't kill him... and none of my men can kill him... I suppose there's only one other option boys." I shrug smugly, finally pulling together a plan, as I glance over to Nolan and Grey who have successfully restrained Halliday to the floor.
"Is there a curse on him too?" I question Draco, staring deeply into his eyes to ensure that he is in fact telling the truth.
"No. The spell on Cassio fully drained me of my powers for months so they decided Halliday would be fine without since they needed my powers." Draco explains, as the other two roar for him to shut up in a fury.
"Perfect." I state simply, before nodding over to Grey and Nolan who understand my motion.
"No! No stop! I want to challenge your father! Let him be the one to decide my fate! He killed my father so it’s only fair! The bastard killed my god damn father does that not matter to any of you?!" Halliday begins to panic, thrashing wildly on the floor like a squealing pig.
"He's bringing on a migraine... just finish him." I grumble.
I was comfortable with the fact that my father had already killed the true Halliday and that this was no more than a brainwashed petty criminal that my brother had recruited for his stupid plan.
With that, a crack was heard, before Halliday lay lifeless on the floor.
"Now would you look at that?! Just how quiet has the room gotten now?!" I clap heavily, as the boys laugh.
"Can we bring Ivanna up here?" I request, as Grey nods and leaves the room, leaving myself, Nolan, Draco and Cassio.
"Let's tie you up for now shall we?" I grip Cassio, as he attempts to fight me off weakly.
Nolan scrapes a wooden chair across the room, as I waste no time on shoving him down onto it. He continues to spit and fight me off, but soon struggle as Nolan wraps a thick wire around him to tie him to the chair.
"Wait til Dad hears about this... it's like fighting a damn kid!" I mock, as he spits at me.
"Dad is nothing more than a waste of fucking oxygen!" He roars, as I roll my eyes.
"I'm sure he will be real upset when he hears that!" I state sarcastically, enjoying far too much how easily I can annoy him.
"You were always the damn favourite! Even my own fucking mate wanted you instead of me!" He grits, his eyes almost black now from fury.
"Sophie only wanted a NORMAL MATE! Not some dumb abusive runt who took his anger out on her all the time because he was too weak to fight like a real man!" I roar in his face now, the comment about Sophie tipping me over the edge.
The girl suffered months of abuse from him and not to mention after all this time he comes back and kidnaps his own daughter from her! She's been through enough!
"She is a whore!" He spits, earning a heavy punch to the face from me this time causing him to yell in pain.
"Shut!" - PUNCH
"The!" - PUNCH
"Fuck!" - PUNCH
"Up!!" - PUNCH
I step back from him, breathing heavily as I take in the sight of his blood covered face.
I wanted to kill him, I needed him gone. He is and never will be a brother of mine!
"Sir?" I turn at the presence of Ivanna.
Finally.
"Human puppets... could it be done?" I question, wasting no time.
"I’m sorry…what?" She looks at me baffled, before turning to catch a glimpse of Draco who had remained in his original spot.
"I want this dead man strung up like a puppet." I repeat, as we all turn to glance at the lifeless Halliday.
I stare at Ivanna, as she watches me back - calculating what I meant with the request.
"For what purpose?" She finally asks, seeming to grasp my idea.
"I want him dead... but none of us can do it ourselves as he is cursed..." I explain, ignoring the painful groans and insults from Cassio beside me.
"We can try." She nods, turning to Draco.
"Will you help me? I can sense you have powers.” Ivanna questions warily, before earning a soft nod from Draco.
"Only if you help me later... I wish to find my son.” He tests, as she nods, not wanting to waste anymore time.
“It’s a deal.” Ivanna concludes, before Draco moves to gather what they need.
This better fucking work!
