Chapter 9

Lia's Pov

Benedicta brought out the white staff made from oak trees, known to be a good weapon for killing supernaturals.

“If you don't leave my side I will stab you with this thing,” she said pointing it toward me as she moved to stand behind me and Merlin, to protect us.

He smiled for a while before he burst into laughter. Laughed and laughed.

“Before you kill me, I would have snapped your neck, Benedicta.” He said, his eyes reduced to a split as he watched her keenly.

Within a split second, he snatched the white oak from her and threw it far into the woods.

He dusted his hands as he walked towards me.“ I mean no harm. Although I promised dear Lia that if she ever tried to double cross me I would kill Merlin,” he said glaring at me.

I swallowed deeply. He stared at me for a while, his eyes boring into my soul sending strange sensations to my skin.

He turned away after a while and walked back to Benedicta. “But, you see. Merlin is my cousin and the rule of the Attics Pack says you do not kill your kind,” he said with his hands on his waist.

“So I will let this slide but-” he said and within a second he was in front of me.

“Drop the child!" he ordered.

I looked at Benedicta, she nodded and took Merlin from me.

Immediately she took him, his rough hands circles around my neck.

“The next time you do this. I would make you scream so badly that you would never want to double-cross me. Do I make myself clear?” He asked he asked.

I nodded immediately. He was too close to me. His hot breath fanned my skin erupting unwavering excitement within me.

He leaned close to my ears.

“You would not want to fuck with me little wolf,” he said and moved backward.

I exhaled loudly even though I did not know I was holding my breath.

Slowly three others came out from the place. They were all out in black clothes. Two females one male.

I quickly recognized one of the females. It was Sabrina. The witch from the palace.

“Greeting my fellow witches,” Benedicta said bowing her head slightly.

I could tell that they were older than her.

They nodded. I looked at Luca begging him with my eyes for an explanation.

“ They are here to do a ritual that would unlock your wolf. We would know if you are a rogue or an omega or you have a wolf.”

I held the helm of my gown to myself, afraid of how brutal the ritual was going to go.

Luca took my hands and pressed them softly, “Everything is going to be fine,” he reassured me.

We stared at each other for a while before he left me.

Sabrina poured water on me.

“For this ritual, we will be needing the blood of an Alpha or the blood of a royal member.”

Were on earth they going to find the blood of an Alpha?

Luca stretched forth his hands, “Take my blood.”

Sabrina gave him a cold look. She took the bowl and slit Luca's wrist and watched as the blood rushed.

She slit apart from Merlin's hand spread her hands and did some spell the cut quickly healed.

They stretched forth their hands towards the bowl and began to do some incarnation.

Benedicta joined them too.

I looked at Luca to find him staring at me. Something about his eyes made me uncomfortable.

His stare made me aware of my surroundings and suddenly the gown I was wearing felt too long. I wanted to lose my hair. To show him that I am beautiful.

I snapped out of the thoughts as Sabrina walked towards me. She took a transparent mirror and aimed it at the sky.

There was a moon but it was not a full moon. She directed it towards the bowl and slowly, the bowl began to boil.

Then she handed it over to me and made me drink it.

My body began to shake, and my joints broke into shapes as I watched myself turn into a wolf.

They watched me with keen eyes. Benedicta and Sabrina smiled.

I was a wolf a full one. Not a rogue, not an omega.

I slowly turned back into myself but I was naked, only left with pants and a bra.

They watched me, no one even bothered to give me a robe.

Sabrina spoke “You must one day repay us for the kindness we have shown you. You will teach Merlin that magic is a blessing. So that one day when he is an Alpha he would allow us to come back to our land.

She said and they left. Entering into the thin air which they came from.

Luca walked up to me with a blue bathrobe. It had his scent.

He whispered in my ear “You look too sexy for a Luna” I shot him a glare and he returned it with a smile

“So you should return to your home. The Alpha might have sent someone to look for you.”

“But he rejected me.”

He smiled with pride, “And I told him, he will accept you.”

He said and walked up to me he pecked me on my cheek “Good night, Lia.” He said and left the same mysterious way he came.

I and Sabrina ran home and settled in.

In no time we heard a knock on the door. I opened it only to find Luca staring at me with a creepy smile.

“I want to tell you that you have a nice scent. One I will never forget.”

Somehow the thought of him never forgetting my scent warmed me up.
