My Vampire Harem Will Dominate Everything

Ezra was jolted out of his sleep by the shock. He clutched his chest, gasping unconsciously as he felt the bond snap.

A rope in the rectangle of the soul bond disappeared and the ropes knitted each other back into a triangle.

Pain overwhelmed him, the fire starting in his heart and spreading all through his body. He sat up, stumbling out of bed and falling to the floor.

It felt like he had died. Like a part of him was forever gone.

It had always been there just out of reach but now, it was gone. Gen's abilities. Her axe, her web, her mirror, gone.

The truth was undeniable. Gen was dead.

He roared his sadness into the air as the pain within him grew stronger. The severance of a link in the soul bond had aggravated the burn and in that split second, it was like a door opened and he could see the other side.

He could briefly see the object holding him back. It wasn't a complete view but all he could see was circles. Circles on a dark surface.

The view disappeared just before he could see it all but he didn't care. Gen was gone.

The pain slowly faded away until it was a dull throb. It was as if Gen's death had lifted the pressure and strain that his soul was under.

He sat up as the door to his room banged open and his wives rushed in, tears in their eyes.

"Tell me I didn't just feel that." Red said. "Till me it's all a lie."

Ezra stood with a sigh. What was he going to tell them?

"It can't be." Olivia covered her mouth as if it would stop the tears from flowing. "Gen can't be dead."

"I'm sorry." He whispered, pulling them into a hug.

They sobbed into his chest, mourning the loss of their fellow wife, friend and sister.

This wasn't the way things should be. This wasn't the way it should end.

Hadn't Connell said he would be the one to kill her? Hadn't she said he should trust her?

Rage roared in his chest and he spat out a single word. "Connell."

His wives could feel the rage within him and they pulled away, allowing him to walk out of the room.

He went down the hall to Connell's room and yanked the door open. The room was empty.

He cursed, turning around to go to the living room. "CONNELL!" He roared. "COME OUT! WHERE ARE YOU?!"

There was no response.

He deployed his Aura, sending it ransacking the whole apartment. Nothing. Connell was gone.

"That bitch!" He cursed. "She'll pay for this. Wherever she is, I'll find her. I'll tear the whole world apart and find her. And I'll make her pay."

He teleported away, appearing in the peacekeeper HQ. Olivia and Red were just a second behind him.

"You." He snapped to the officer on duty at the front desk. "Activate the red alarm."

"Sir?!" The officer stammered in shock.

"DO IT!" Ezra roared.

A few seconds later, klaxons began to blare throughout the HQ and in another minute, all active peacekeepers were gathered in front of him.

"Officer Connell has gone rogue and is in possession of information important to an investigation. I want you all to ransack the city and find her for me. Find her and report to me. I'll take care of her myself. Understood?!"

"YES SIR!" The peacekeepers dispersed, knowing how important this was.

Ezra didn't wait around, teleporting out to the city in search of Connell. He went through all the places he could think of and even paid a visit to the vampire who turned her but she was nowhere to be found.

Hours later, he returned to HQ.

"Any luck?" Red asked as he walked to his office.

"None." Ezra answered. "You?"

Olivia shook her head. "It's like she disappeared into thin air."

"Will we be able to find her?" Red asked just as they entered the office.

As Olivia opened her mouth to answer, the phone on Ezra's desk rang.

Ezra was there in an instant. "Hello?"

"Hello, Ezra." Connell's voice rang out.

**********

"Where are you? Where the fuck are you?!" Ezra snarled.

Connell sighed. "There's no need for me to answer that, Ezra. You'll soon track my phone and get to where I am."

"You told me to trust you. You fucking promised!"

"And I'm sorry." Connell looked up at the sky, enjoying the feeling of the sun on her skin. It would be the last of such experiences.

She could feel it getting closer. She could feel the pull of it. There was no way out. There was no getting out of this. The long cold hands of the Cutting Off were getting closer.

"This was the only way." She whispered into the phone.

"Fuck that!" Ezra snarled. "This is not the only way! You said you had a way out! Is this it? Is this the fucking way out?"

"You don't understand but very soon, you will."

"I don't want to understand! I fucking don't!"

"Whether you want it or not, Gen will always die in every iteration of this timeline. I cannot stop it. She'd already made a blood oath to ensure this would happen."

"That's a lie." Ezra said.

"Believe whatever you want but Gen's sacrifice was necessary." Connell nodded to herself. "The pain would be enough of a reminder. A reminder to not be broken by the coming burden. You'll need it, Ezra."

"I don't fucking need it! Go back in time! Stop her death! You can do it, can't you? If you don't, I'll destroy Faewall. I'll make sure the future you're working so hard to change comes true."

She knew he wouldn't. She'd been through this before and this was the only way. It was a pity she won't be there to see the end.

"It's all up to you now, Ezra Matten. Take care." She tossed the phone away.

It was time. The abyss whispered in her ears. She'd broken its laws. She'd made a mockery of it. Now, she would be wiped from existence.

Connell would be no more from this moment onward.

But she was okay with that. She'd lived a very full life. It was time she rested.

She smiled as the abyss seized her, the dark energy crawling over her body.

There was a muffled flash and Ezra appeared in front of her. The moment he laid eyes on her, his anger disappeared, replaced by shock.

She grinned at him as he stared at her in horror.

"No one breaks the laws of the abyss and gets away scot free. Not even the progenitor himself." Connell laughed as the abyss finally covered her face and pulled her into its cold embrace.

This was the end of her story.
