The following few days were the most beautiful days of Jason’s life. Ariella was now his woman. They were all lovey-dovey, oppressing people around them.
That particular morning, Ariella woke up feeling uneasy. It was a premonition that something bad was going to happen.
She tried to shake off the feelings, maybe she was just over thinking things, but it didn’t work.
“Baby,” Jason stepped out from the bathroom and pecked her cheek, instantly Jason noticed her mood was off.
“Babe, are you okay? What’s wrong?” Jason asked, gently taking her hand into his.
“I feel so uneasy like something bad is going to happen today. Are you going out today?”
“Yes Babe, I have an important meeting with my pack that I have to attend,” Jason answered truthfully.
“Jason?” Ariella called softly.
“Can you please not go? You can reschedule the meeting, you are the Alpha, right? No one is going to question your orders. Please!”
Jason stared at Ariella for some seconds, this meeting was an essential meeting, but he loved her that much to cancel it.
Immediately, Jason mind linked to his pack members and told them that something came up, and the meeting had been rescheduled and as expected, no one challenged his authority.
“Alright babe,” Jason pulled her closer for a hug.
Meanwhile, somewhere in the kingdom, Jacinta, and her mother entered into an apartment without making a sound.
The house they entered belonged to someone from Jason’s pack, they were here to use him as a bait to trap Jason.
The owner of the house who initially went into the kitchen came out and the plate of food he held went crashing to the floor.
He was surprised to see them seated in his living room, it wasn’t even up to five minutes that he left for the kitchen.
How did these people enter without making a noise?
Seeing Susan and her daughter visit him, he sensed trouble and mischief.
As a wolf that was strong and belonged to the most powerful pack, he composed himself and acted tough as though he weren’t surprised to see them.
Susan, who was quick to see his concealed expression, smiled internally, she immediately believed he was easily going to comply with their request. He seemed like a weakling, although belonging to the strongest pack.
“Why are you people here?” He asked straightforwardly.
Susan was impressed at how straightforward he was.
“We just need a request from you boy,” Susan spoke.
“What is the request?” The person asked curious inside but very composed outside.
“I want you to summon your Alpha here, tell him that you have something important and urgent to tell him.”
“Over my dead body! I will do no such thing, you are asking me to lie and betray my Alpha. I’d rather die than do that.”
“You both have over stayed your welcome, it’s time to leave, and next time don’t ever sneak into my house like that again,” The person warned.
Susan and her daughter remained seated like they didn’t hear him order them out.
“Have you both suddenly gone deaf? I said leave!” He roared.
It was then Susan realized he wasn’t a weakling, but wasn’t as strong as Jason.
“I really never wanted to do it the other way, but you leave me no choice, my darling,” Susan said, smiling mischievously.
The person stood for some seconds wondering what she meant, when suddenly, his mind went blank.
He lost control of his consciousness and mind.
He has been hypnotized.
“Sit down,” Susan commanded, and he sat down.
“Excellent,” She smiled with satisfaction.
Jacinta never said a word since they came in here, she was just watching how her mother got what she wanted to be done and learning from her.
There was nothing much for her to say.
“Now mind link Jason, tell him that something urgent came up, and you need to see him urgently. It can’t wait,” Susan instructed, and the person immediately did as he was instructed.
******
Jason was staring softly at his woman who was sleeping beside him. It was already afternoon time and she was observing her siesta.
He caressed her hair lovingly, taking in her scent. He couldn’t wait for the day he’ll mark her as his.
He couldn’t wait to consummate their love.
She said she wasn’t ready to have sex as a virgin, so he was going to marry her first, then mark her on their wedding night.
Jason never knew he had that much patience to wait. He got everything he wanted when he wanted, but for Ariella, he was ready to wait until she consented.
“Alpha, I just found something terrible, and it’s in relation to you. It’s urgent, I need to talk to you please,” Jason heard a voice speak through the mind link. It was the voice of one of his pack members.
Jason knew he needed to go.
He looked at Ariella who he had promised to stay and pecked her forehead, but not without saying,
“I’m sorry Angel, but I really have to go.”
Jason drove at a high speed like he was going mad.
What has the wolf found that was in relation to him?
From the way the person sounded, it seemed like something really terrible, and Jason wanted badly to know what it was.
In no time, Jason got to the venue and without wasting time he got out of his car and headed to the house.
“Come in,” Jason heard after he knocked and he walked in.
“What have you found, Leonard? Tell me,” Jason asked impatiently.
“My Alpha, this isn’t something we can discuss hastily, please sit down first,” Leonard pleaded and Jason obliged.
“Let me quickly get you a glass of wine, I’ll be back in a jiffy,” Leonard said and left for the kitchen.
Jason felt something off with how Leonard was acting, but immediately waved it away, concluding it was his mind playing tricks on him.
Meanwhile, in the kitchen, Susan poured the wine into a glass cup and added a large amount of grated silver into it before handing it over to Leonard to present it to Jason.
“Here you go,” The wine was offered to Jason, he took it and had a sip.
” I have many important things to do but rushed down here to listen to you. Tell me what it is already,” Jason said, but not without taking another sip from the wine.
Jason began to feel this burning sensational from him mouth down to his throat and his whole body.
Jason looked at Leonard for an explanation, but Leonardo just sat still looking at him.
The burning Sensational increased and Jason coughed out blood from his mouth. Never in his entire existence has he felt this kind of pain.
“What did you put in the damn drink?” Jason roared at Leonard amidst pains.
“It’s silver!” A voice spoke and Jason turned to look in the direction of where the voice came from.
Jacinta and her mother emerged from where they hid, smiling triumphantly.
Jacinta was the most pleased. It was satisfying to see the look of pain on Jason’s face for the first time.
“Leo…nard?” Jason called out.
“Oh dear, he’s hypnotized. He can’t hear you. Everything he did was what I instructed him to do. He’s no more in his right mind.”
For some reason, Jason felt relieved that he wasn’t betrayed by Leonard. That Leonard only acted out of hypnotism, so it wasn’t his fault.
Jason tried to shift his wolf, but it seemed as though his wolf was even the weakest at the moment.
“I’m sure you never knew you could be in pain, honey. You think you are some god that cannot be killed?”
“You are just a wolf like everyone else, the only difference is that you are blessed with superior powers, not immortality,” Jacinta said with disdain.
“For showing me hell, you’ll experience a greater hell.”
Having said that, Jacinta and her mother walked out from the house, leaving Jason to die.
The burning sensational tripled and Jason felt tremendous pains, his inner body burned like acid was poured on him.
Thick layers of blood began to gush out from both his nose and mouth.
Jason blacked out.
At the same moment, Leonard came back to his senses and saw his Alpha on the floor, lying lifeless.
When did his Alpha come here?
Where was Susan and her daughter?
What happened to him?
Why was the Alpha in a pool of blood?
“No! This can’t be.”
