I had reached my breaking point and the realization that I was being a prisoner in my on body had made me drowned in sadness. Smoke being under Skylar’s control pushed me to take drastic measures. I just couldn’t continue letting Skylar take advantage of my body. I needed a plan, a way to regain control of my mind, my body, and my pack.
“Lucas, we need a fast solution if we want to be saved in this pack.” Desperation was clear in my voice as I faced Lucas, who was sitting in front of me.
“Alpha, we need to tame Smoke first, that’s the only way you can find a solution.”
“Do you have any idea of how I can do that?” I asked, hoping he had a solution for taming Smoke.
“I have no idea but Smoke is the only one that can get in the way of getting solution” his response made Smoke growl and he released his aura which made Lucas jumped a bit.
‘Buddy, you need to calm down, he is right after all.’ I tried to calm Smoke down.
After several days of research, we discovered a risky but necessary solution to tame Smoke which is the use of Wolfsbane. Wolfsbane is dangerous to wolves, it is capable of weakening a wolf’s sense and strength. Wolfbane is the only solution to keep Smoke subdued.
Without wasting time, I began injecting small doses of wolfbane into my system. I sometimes add it to my water and drink while Smoke became weak. Every dose of wolf’s bane in my system made him weaker and I have total control over my action.
After gaining control of my body, I had to play along with Sky before she started before she starts suspecting. I had to deceive her, I couldn’t stay far away from her. Lucas and I started gathering information and did more researches on the kind of spell Skylar used.
For several weeks, Lucas and I visited several witches and wizards for answers. We travelled from covens to covens, we saw seers and even contacted sorcrers who dabbled un forbidden magic but I was frustrated at the end of the day because all I got was the same result. They all said the same thing.
“The spell is bound by blood and body material so it cannot be broken by ordinary means. It can only be broken by the one who placed the spell or the spell’s catalyst.” These were the words of the last wizard we visited whichweres the exact words of the rest of them.
I decided to take the last ditch effort I had left in me when I reached my office. I closed the door behind and dialed Aunt Bella’s number and she picked up on the second ring.
“I thought you’d never call.” She echoed on the other side of the phone.
“You’ve been expecting my calls?”
“Of course, I saw all your effort. You are my family and I could see you everywhere you go.”
“Is there a solution, Aunt?”
“The spell is an ancient dark magic and it’s even worse than I thought.” She said and I panicked
“Remember I was there when it happened, if there was a solution then, I could have done it. It isn’t just any dark magic. It’s been tied to something personal to you and Skylar has hidden it somewhere.” She continued “She tied an object of yours to her blood and as long as it remains hidden, no witch or wizard can break it. You will always be under her control. Your only hope is to find the object and break it.” She finished
I was rendered speechless by this revelation. How can someone have this desperation. I became so angry that I ordered everyone to tear through the pack house. Even though I didn’t know what it looked like, I and Lucas searched every searched every possible hidden place in the pack house but couldn’t find any.
I started watching Skylar closely, I had to watch her alone. The only help I had was Lucas, she replaced all the guards and my Executives with new people I didn’t even know as soon as she became Luna. She said she didn’t trust my people so she had to bring people from her pack. Of course, I am not okay with that because this is my pack but she as the one ruling the pack.
I pushed the door open to meet Skylar siting across the mirror, her eyes locked onto me the moment I entered the room.
“Where have you been all day?” she questioned while she turned her head slightly with her face filled with suspicion look.
I decided not to respond to her cold and demanding voice. The tension in the room thickened and I could feel her suspicion grew larger. She had been on edge for days now because of how distant I have been. I only come back when she is asleep and I left way before she wakes up.
I could feel her trying to reach Smoke but it wasn’t working. I didn’t agree to us marking eachother and she was okay with it so we can’t share feelings.
“Smoke?” She finally called out when she couldn’t reach him in her mind. I knew she was expecting him to take control, a growl from him or some sort of acknowledgements but nothing.
Pain and confusion flashed across her face as she sensed nothing from Smoke and I didn’t help by saying nothing.
“What the fuck did you do to your wolf?” her trembling voice rushed at me and I could see the fear in her eyes. She grabbed my arm like she is searching my body for any sign of Smoke but her hold on me.
I gently removed her tightened grip on me and stepped back. I have had enough of playing along with her dirty games. The pain and fear in her eyes when she noticed Smoke was missing gave me a sense of satisfaction.
“I found a way to get control of my body,” I said in a low firm voice while looking straight into her frightened eyes.
“What are you talking about?” the disbelief and fear evident in her voice.
“What I am saying is,” I paused with a mocking smirk ” If you need to say something to Smoke, you can tell me and I will rely your message to him when he comes back-If he ever comes back of course” I flashed her another cold mocking smile.
Blood drained from her face. Of course, she wasn’t expecting the sudden shift in role and I am enjoying every bit of her expression. She opened her mouth to say something but her words was caught in her throat.
“There’s no way in hell you could that” the words came out of her mouth more like she was convincing herself.
“The table has turned and Your time is running out, Skylar.”
For the first time in a long time, I felt powerful and this time I plan to hold on to this power. I need to gain total control because without my wolf, I would be weak like humans.
