BETA TIM’S POV
“How were you able to do it, my lady, how did he just agree to everything you said? He didn’t even put up some resistance. I thought he was going to kill me the moment he saw me” I inquired impatiently.
This witch is really too much. Alpha Fred was just like a fool before her. She’s got him captivated in her spell and now he has made room for her in the packhouse and has also agreed for her to be in his cabinet. She is not even a member of our Pack.
“Hahaha, Tim” she laughed. “You act like a child and your thoughts are just like those of a child”
“Oh, my lady… I am sorry… forgive me” I begged.
What if she sees through me and decides to end my life? I will have to show her my loyalty, I will have to make her believe that I am by her side. I am her only support here in Diamond Cut and if not for me alpha Fred would not have wanted her. No one wanted her in the first place.
“Hmm… it is okay, Tim. Now all I want is your loyalty. I want to take Diamond Cut Pack to a greater height. You see, the Pack has been lacking in so many spheres. I want to take it to a height that no other Pack has ever attained.
I was intrigued. I can’t believe that she still considers my importance. “You need me, my lady, you need me in this great task that you are about to undertake. See I am here with you. I will always be by your side. Even if no other person believes you, I will fight and die by your side” I pledged happily.
“You are a man of your word, Tim, and I am happy to see that” she replied with a weird smile.
Why do I still feel that she is trying to play some tricks on me? She has great powers so how come my sons are still lifeless? No, of course, she is a witch, I don’t expect to see some goodness around her. She is a greedy and selfish being, she is an evil witch.
As I thought about all of these, hot sweats filled my face and I tried to wipe them out with my palms. I was so nervous, outrageously nervous.
My loyalty is to my Pack and to my people. They all come first before me. How come Mildrid does not look like the right thing?
“You see, Tim, I intend to reward you greatly. You have worked harder than anyone in this Pack” she revealed.
Reward me? My eyes shut out of their sockets. Of course, I have worked harder than any other person in the three brother Packs, and yes I do deserve some rewards. But now how does she intend to reward me?
“See, my friend, I will not only heal your sons, but I will only make you very strong and powerful more than any other mortal, more than any man that ever lives” she promised.
I was flabbergasted. I want to be strong, I want power. “My sons…” I exclaimed excitedly. “You will heal my sons for me. Please heal my sons, make them whole again and I will serve you forever” I assured.
“You know what you must do, Tim” she began.
What I must do? Do I still need to do any other thing? I have given her everything and have taken her to the alpha and now she is one of the powers in Diamond Cut. What more does this greedy witch ask for? She indeed is insatiable.
She continued. “Beta Tim, I want to make you powerful and that cannot come for free”
I kowtowed to her. “What must I do, my lady? I will be your most humble servant” I inquired.
“Hahahaha…” she let out a sinister laugh. “You will be mine, Tim, mine and only mine. Mine to pleasure, mine for fantasy, and mine to use, play, and toy with…”
Her sex toy, her sexual slave? That is no big deal. Patricia is old anyway and does not even know how to pleasure me anymore. Mildrid is fire, an aggressive tornado, a furious volcano. She takes me back to my youthful age. She allows me to explore my youthful exuberance. Of what use is Patricia at this time, who needs the strength of an old lady? Patricia can go to hell with her decayed body, I desire some young adventure.
“My… my lady. You know that your request is not bargainable. I am already yours, I am already yours for the taking, yours to pleasure, and yours to devour. I will not resist you, I now this day surrender my very existence to you, I will be at your beck and call, and no other can have me” I promised wholeheartedly.
“Hahaha… beta Tim, this is only the beginning. You have no idea what I want to make of you. You wait, I have so much lined up in stock for you. I promise that you will be intrigued by the time that I am done” she said.
“I have no desire to question my lady. I surrender to your will and I know that you will do it right by me, you will do all for my best interest” I replied.
“Bravo, Tim…” she taps her fists together. “You see that is why I want to make you very strong. Other wolves will be nothing compared to you, you will be immortal” she said.
With her words, I became a bit restless and so I said to her. “I am a beta wolf, and right now, no other wolf dares to stand in my way. I am undefeatable. But then there is the alpha wolf and I am nothing compared to him. I am only a humble servant lower than him. I am at his beck and call”
“Then you must be above him. Even the alpha wolf will be nothing before you” she replied with a grin.
“No… not so, my lady. That is not how it is meant to be. The alpha must always be above me. I will remain at his feet. That is how the moon goddess structured it” I insisted.
She paused and then said. “That is why I cherish you, Tim. Your loyalty is second to none. But imagine you already met me before the war, and you already have all these powers bestowed on you. By the time you weld the powers, of whose greater good would the victory be for?” she asked.
“Of course, it will be for the alpha and for the Pack” I replied.
It now makes a lot of sense. My strength will be for the alpha. Who says I will be up against the alpha anyway? I will be strong for the greater good of the alpha and the Pack, it will be for all of us.
“Now do you want to be strong, beta Tim? Are you prepared to be the strongest werewolf there is, are you ready to be immortal and above every other werewolf?” she asked.
Her eyes shut through my soul. All I ever wanted is a peaceful werewolf life. I desire an orderly Pack and then hand over the affairs of the Pack to the younger generation when the time is ripe for it. Every werewolf desires a stress-free retirement. We are content with our life circle.
But my soul is not within my control anymore, and even my desire feels alien to me. What do I even want?
“Answer, beta Tim, the choice is yours” she persuaded with an evil grin.
“Yes, Mildrid, make me stronger, make me as strong as I can be” I replied.
“It is your choice, Tim, and so I will make you even stronger than you can imagine. There is a sacrifice that must be completed” she said.
“A sacrifice…” I murmured helplessly.
A sacrifice again? But I never asked to be made stronger, what does this witch want?
“Yes, Tim. You must sacrifice your daughter, hand her over to me once you set your eyes on her again” she requested.
My daughter… I should have known it. I should have known that she desired Scarlet all these while she had been making inferences about her. But then what good would a frail wolf be to the witch?
