The next morning Cassandra woke up feeling tired and out of sorts. She is feeling weak and unable to move as agile and flexible as she used to.
"Ahh.." She groaned holding her aching head.
She stood up and finished her morning routine with difficulty. When she looked at her face in the mirror after her shower, she noticed her eyes are dull and her vision is not as sharper as it used to be. There are visible wrinkles, dark circles as well. She is looking like a 70-year-old human woman.
"What is happening to me?" She thought with a concerned frown.
As the follower of Fernir, she knows she cannot inhibit any human body for more than a certain period. She has to change hosts based on her requirements. They have to kill the soul of their host to inhabit their body. So that body will begin to decay, but at a much slower rate than usual. They have to find a fresh body before their current body could decay completely, killing them in the process.<
Cassandra noticed that Leo(Logan who is pretending as his twin) and Hera are quiet. They look distracted."What happened? You both look preoccupied?" Cassandra pointed out.She is tense that Hera might have changed her mind and cancelled this wedding. Cassandra is desperate and she has only a little time left to discard her current body and inhibit another one. If it gets delayed, then she will die here in this world. They cannot live in any world without inhibiting a host who belongs to that world. So she cannot afford to cancel this wedding and extend Hera's life a little while longer. The longer Hera lives, the shorter Cassandra's life would be.Cassandra can inhabit anyone, but she has to prepare for that body before inhibition. The preparation will take around two years. But Hera is a white Lycan. She is pure and she doesn't need to be prepared like others. Cassandra can inhibit her body the moment Hera is killed.'If this wedding gets delayed
After they decided that their wedding will take place the next day, Cassandra wanted Hera to choose a dress for herself and decide on the cake flavours. They called some people to decorate the backyard of the packhouse with gold shimmer curtains and flowers. Hera agreed with everything Cassandra showed her. They wanted to keep Cassandra happy and busy so that they can slip the remaining pills into her food or water. When they were discussing the cake flavours, Logan slipped another green pill into the piece of cake that is served to Cassandra, so that she could taste it. Cassandra is so happy, that she didn't mind participating in these silly things. She tasted the cake and shared her opinion. All she wanted is for them to get married. She is not bothered about the flavours of the cake. Hera can choose whatever she likes. Logan(who is pretending to be Leo) is speaking less and is nodding when Hera asks him something. He is pretending perfectly lik
Leo and Lionel were guarding Xander in Hera's house. They buried all the guards who lost their lives because of Cassandra. "I can't believe she killed all of them" Leo muttered angrily. Lionel is not shocked though. He expected nothing less from a vicious woman like Cassandra. They would not hesitate to slaughter a hundred more people if it serves their purpose. "She is doing everything she can to open that portal and free her master from his prison. She will not leave any stone unturned" Lionel murmured. He suffered at her hands, so he knows how far she could fall. Leo nodded absently. Just then, he got a call from Claire. "Leo" she whispered. Her voice is indicating that she is trying not to talk out loud and alert others. They left her with Isaac, Hera's brother and the Alpha of the Black Moon pack. Since then he didn't get a chance to talk to her. Moreover, they have this silent understanding that it's better to be on guard u
"No, that is just the body of my dead wife. The evil being who inhabited my wife discarded her body and left" Alexander clarified. The creatures of the other world are invisible to the naked eyes. They cannot sustain the environmental changes in this world without a host carrying them. They can live for a few days at most before they slowly begin to die. If the creature that inhibited Cassandra dared to leave her host behind, then it must be desperate and must have a solid plan. "Let's go" Logan doesn't want to waste another minute. That creature is invisible and it is after Claire. They are not sure how Cassandra found out that Claire is alive, but she did. 'She must be after the Stone which Claire had in her possession' Hera said. Alexander, Logan, and Hera are running in their Lycan form towards the Black moon pack to save Claire. They are talking through their mind link. 'No, it's not just the stone. There is something else' Logan gu
Leo and Lionel growled as soon as they saw Claire lying on the forest floor with multiple injuries. Both of them surrounded Claire protectively. Their ears perked up to hear any sound from around them. As they cannot see the creature, they are depending on their other senses to identify it.'Are you alright Claire?' Leo asked her with a concerned expression.Claire groaned with pain. It is hurting everywhere and it's hard for her to even breathe properly. That creature has hurt her brutally. There is not an inch of skin left on the female Lycan's body that is not bruised or bleeding. Despite her fast healing ability, she couldn't heal fast enough. 'Peachy' Claire muttered and winced when she tried to move her limbs.Lionel and Leo looked at her with concern. They should leave this place as soon as they can. But they have to wait until Claire could heal herself a little. They cannot carry her. It would compromise their speed. So they are force
Logan, Hera, and Alexander came to a halt when they found Claire and Lionel standing there in their Lycan form. Claire is noticeably in very bad shape even under the blanket of darkness.They searched for Leo, who is nowhere to be found. They know that Leo and Lionel came together to rescue Claire. The girl he came to save is standing right in front of them, but he is nowhere to be found.They all shifted into their human forms and quickly dressed in the clothes they brought with them."Where is Leo?" Alexander asked with a concerned frown.He is having a very bad feeling about this, but still, he tried to be optimistic and thinks that he might have gone somewhere.When they are taking too much time to tell where his twin is, he tried to initiate a mind link with his brother, which failed. He began to scan their surroundings for Leo. But he found nothing."Lionel, Where is Leo?" Hera asked anxiously.Claire choked on a sob and began t
'What is Leo Harris doing here?' Isaac thought with confusion.He doesn't seem to be hurt, but he is unconscious.'Is he in trouble?' Isaac frowned at that possibility.He took a step in Leo's direction to help him, but the sound of something jumping on the branch over him stopped him abruptly in his tracks. The tree under which he is standing is huge with thick branches and closely places leaves. Whoever it is, they cannot see him standing under the tree. He slowly moved closer to the tree and made sure not to make any sound. He let his back touch the bark and stayed there.He understood the person on the tree is the one responsible for Leo's condition. He tried to take a closer look at the person responsible for Leo's condition. He leaned over a little and peeked through the gaps in between the branches. He couldn't find anyone. He frowned with confusion.'There is definitely someone up there. But why can't I see anyone?' he wondered.
"As long as the connection is intact, you will be trapped here," the creature said with a laugh.Leo is shocked to hear this. They fed the creature nine green pills, so he guessed why the creature needs to feed on his energy. The green pills made the creature weak. If he could severe and stop it from feeding on him, they could escape. But he is feeling weak. He is finding it hard to even move his arms an inch.That's when his eyes caught the sight of Isaac creeping towards them with his claws extended. Leo didn't let his gaze stay more than a second on Isaac. He is worried that the creature might notice Isaac. Then it would be game over for them. The creature would kill Isaac and use Leo to blackmail the others for the key.As the creature cannot maintain any shape for more than a few minutes, it began to flicker between being visible and invisible. Leo began to get worried. If the creature disappears completely, then it would be difficult for Isaac to hur
