Chapter 221: The fight

Elias felt his entire body lock up as Alaric set his sights on Alyssa. He didn't want Alaric to look at Alyssa or even have her as a thought in his mind.

His eyes gradually narrowed as he took a step forward too, capturing Alaric's attention again.

"She's not your concern," he replied with a bite to his tone. "Trying to take over the entire world isn't your concern either. We've all lived a balance life for years. You can't just mess that up."

"I can do whatever I want to. Right, Helena?" Alaric replied as he glanced at the blonde witch. "This is Helena. She's been helping me keep tabs on you."

Melina grimaced as she shook her head subtly.

"You shouldn't support him," she told Helena as she stepped out from behind Tyler to join Elias' side.

"You'd be a fool not to," Helena replied as the corner of her mouth curled up slightly. She was set in her ways, brainwashed by Alaric. So many of them were.
