EPI 5 HIS WOUND

MADDOX

“Awww,” My wolf howled continuously in discomfort, as I peeled off my outer garment.

I hissed in pain, as my wrist shook tremendously because of the slash on it.

"Fuck!' I grunted as I checked my wound, it was so deep with blood dripping on my inner garment.

I check the knife and smell wolfsbane, my eyes widen in shock, how did she get her hands on wolfsbane? It's banned in the world of werewolves.

And what exactly made her hate me that much? I want to know about her.

{You must have offended her antecedent,} my wolf snorted, as my canine grew out, I couldn't control myself anymore and just let it take over.

I recalled how my wolf had muttered the word, 'mate’ the moment I stepped inside Darren's new pack.

I couldn't smell her scent but the way my wolf moved around in excitement and was very sure she was my mate made me accept it.

I never expected Darren to be able to establish a new pack, despite his sly act.

I moved swiftly finding who my wolf had said to be our mate.

Only to come face to face with ‘Hazel,’ I disapproved of her instantly.

I wanted to reject her then and there when I smelt Darren all over her, she wasn’t clean, and that made me furious.

But my wolf refused, he wanted me to take her out of the pack.

I stood for some minutes waiting for her to also acknowledge me as her mate

But she didn’t, when her eyes met with mine, all I saw was hatred and no single trait of fear or respect.

I stared intently into her eyes which weren't ready to back down so I could know what was going on in her mind, but there was none.

It felt like she was using a spell on me instead, my wolf urging for me to call her mine but I declined.

She doesn’t seem to act like she is my mate.

She told me to enjoy my feast but I smelt wolfsbane all over the food she had arranged on the table.

I wanted to kill her but the bond wasn’t making me gain the courage. I stopped her immediately but she was very fast and slashed my wrist.

I underestimated and didn’t attack her on time, but she was quick to stab my abdomen, thrice.

Zeus rushed toward her in an attempt to hurt her but I was quick to intervene.

I stopped the time and again my powers didn’t work on her, so I used my last and most powerful technique, ‘soulbound stares,’ thank goodness it caught her.

I snatched the knife off her hold making sure to clean off my blood and wiped everyone's memory.

She fell to the ground and I saw her losing her breath again. I didn't think twice before transferring some strength from me to her.

With the amount of strength given to her, she would be able to live for a while.

Everyone moved again but I still feel she knew about it.

I couldn’t let her stay here, I wanted to know more about her, I wanted to know her antecedent, she must be a powerful being.

I tried looking for someone close to her and like I wanted I felt the strange connection she had with the lady who pleaded for her life.

I was only able to get her to come with me because of her sister.

"I grunted in pain again, staring at my wrist where the knife first slashed."

“Maddox why..” Brianna stormed into my room infuriated but stopped talking when she saw the wound in my stomach.

“What is this? Why isn't it healing?” she asked now worried but I removed her hands off my body.

I had thought of making her my Luna to complete the rules of the Lycanthrope but now that I saw someone who is my mate, my body is repelling her.

“I am doing fine, it will heal with time, I got it during a fight,” I lied, I didn’t want her to hurt Hazel.

All I wanted was a way to protect her. “What do you mean it will heal with time? You don’t take long before healing,” she tried touching it but I hissed in pain.

“Stop it,” I groaned and shifted back.

Just then I heard some kind of force calling for me. Before I could control myself I saw myself in the room meant for hazel.

I was confused at first but still tried to control myself.

She was mad she didn't want to see and that caused a pang in my heart.

Knowing she would find one way or the other to run away if I was not careful.

I gave an idea of her practicing and winning me in the fight so she could kill me like she wanted.

I noticed her wolf was dead and her body had been destroyed. I can tell what had happened to her or what made her this way but I would find out.

I left her room and fell to the ground writhing in pain.

"Maddox," Brianna's voice called through as she sped up to help me up but I stopped her.

I mind linking Zeus to meet me in my office while Brianna tagged along fuming.

“Alpha, is there something wrong?” Zeu asked, I sighed and sat on my desk.

“Zeus, why the heck couldn’t you protect him when fighting?” I growled making her shift back in guilt.

“What is she talking about?”

“Just a little injury, and to the reason why I called you,” he exhaled and I snarled at him, bringing him back too balanced.

“I want you to be in charge of training Hazel, she seems too weak and needs to at least have some fighting skill,”

Brianna cut me off immediately, “Why should she have a fighting skill? She can be an omega and serve us,”

"Briaana, don’t you dare cut me off again,” she shut her mouth giving a disappointed look, and walked out.

“Do you think that is a good idea? Thank goodness you were fast getting to know she has that metal else she would have hurt you,”

“Are you also going to question my decree?” he shook his head in surrender.

"How about your coronation?”

“I am postponing it, I still haven't accepted with Alpha Davis,”

“Alpha, you already made everyone believe your coronation with her is near, why?

“Zeus, you should be in support of my heart, not what others would say,” he looked down in guilt, biting down his lip.

“Just what I want, 'silence' and get the fuck outta here, also..” I stopped him again with my whole breath.

"Not a word about her being a slave should be said around the pack or that person would lose his or her life.” he then bowed and left.

My pain hit through just as they both left.

{We need to find a cure for this, else I don't think I can hold onto it that much,} Salvatore growled out.

I shut the door with my powers and peeled off my garment completely, checking the stab wound in the mirror

My eyes were now ocean blue and were shining brightly.

I couldn't help but be more surprised at how bright red the wound is now.

I picked up the knife in my office. I need to hide this clearly so my enemy doesn’t get hold of it.

“I should find someone to heal me if I don’t want to lose my life."

{She is only still alive because she is my mate, I don’t let people go easily when they cross their limit.}

I let out in pain staring at my painful reflection.

“We will go meet that witch during the full moon, our pain should have reduced a bit by then."

It won't be easy to coerce her but now I need to bow to get better because of my little force mate.
