THE ALPHA’S ADDICTION

6:30am, Blue Moon’s Pack.

Derek stirred on his bed, as he felt his body undergoing some changes which made him uncomfortable even in his dream.

Yes, he was dreaming again.

He was talking with a woman.

He was sure that he hadn’t seen her before.

“We will commence our operations today. You remember what you ought to do eh?” The woman clothed in black apparel all over asked him.

He found himself nodding.

And then he knew that the woman wasn’t actually talking with him, but to the beast within him.

“And don’t play around like you did some hours ago. I didn’t ask you to kill the little girl. As a matter of fact, I have some plans for her. So, don’t touch her. Don’t touch anyone of them, until I ask you to do so.” She stated, and he shrugged.

“I was hungry.” He said, or rather the beast said through him.

” You know that human meal does nothing for me. You know how blood is essential to our kind. I am weak without it.” He pointed out.

” Well, if you were, you should’ve gone out to hunt for some animal. We can’t fail at this plan. We can’t be at at war with Legardo. He wants the Alpha and his whole family alive. And if you cannot tame your appetite, then I would have no choice to send you back to where I had brought you from.” She stated.

“There’s no need for that, my queen. I would not try to kill any one member of the household.” He said, not adding that she was bluffing about sending him back. He knew that she needed him in Derek so that the latter who was too strong-headed for his own good, won’t foil their plans, and won’t be able to ascend the throne.

“Good then. Any findings or interesting news for me?” The woman asked him, even as she scraped her wrist to let out blood.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.

“Yes Yes.” He chanted, licking his lips as he anticipated and longed for the feel of her strong mage blood within him.

“Tell me then.” The woman said, smirking a little bit at his reaction to her blood.

“There was a boy, Anthony. He possesed the ability to wield the blue flame.” He intoned, as if awe.

“Hmm, that is an interesting one. He was the one that subdued you then eh?” She asked.

” Yes.” He muttered, obviously still displeased about the happening of the previous night.

“Kill him then, or rather bring him to me before departing to the forest. You can also point him out to the others I will send. They could help you. I don’t think his blue flame can do anything to them.” She advised, before stretching her hand towards him.

“Don’t bite. Just suck some. I will tap you on the head when I want you out.” She said.

Derek watched all this happen as if he was a third person.

He was caged within his own body, unable to say anything of his own accord, except that which the beast wanted.

He had to fight out of this haze. He had to speak to the woman, at least know her name. She might be the one in possession of his little witch.

He groaned and grunted, aware that the beast was beginning to fight him down. But he refused to back away. He needed to find Emma.

“What’s the problem?” He heard the woman ask, and scoffed.

“The problem is that you are to dark for your own good.” He stated, wiping off perspiration from his forehead, happy that he had stopped the beast from energizing himself with the blood of the witch.

The woman was shocked, but she managed to mask it by laughing robotically.

“I see that you had managed to tame the beast yourself. You must be too strong. Your wolf is rather. He is trying to subdue the beast. But that my dear, is impossible.” She said, noting that today being his birthday, his wolf would be at its greatest strength. Today would be the day it would try the hardest to get rid of the beast.

But that was impossible. She just had to get the Anthony boy to herself. He posted a threat already to her well laid plans.

“I believe it is. My brother would subdue the beast whenever it wants blood. I know now that it needs blood to survive.” He stated with a scowl.

“That’s a fine plan, my dear. But you see, you won’t be able to remember anything from this dream.” She said, cackling in laughter again, obviously pleased with the look of shock and anger on the lad’s face.

“I will kill you. Just wait.” He promised, gritting his teeth.

“Where is she?” He asked, thereon, referring to Emma.

“Why bother about that, if you won’t remember anything I would say.” She taunted, laughing again as she watched him advance towards her.

“Go back to sleep!” She ordered, with a snap of her finger.

And immediately, he woke up.

Derek sank his fingers into his hair, as he tried to rid himself of the disorientation associated with being drowsy.

He discovered that he was angry for no reason.

He could feel himself fuming. But for what?

He didn’t know.

He sighed as he discovered that he had also forgotten the dream he had had, again.

“You idiot, you stopped me drinking a sweet powerful mage blood.” He heard the beast say, but chose to ignore it, even as he felt another stirring within him.

Maru!

“Maru!” He called out loudly through the mind path, happiness furnishing his facial features, his bones and his marrows.

There was hope!

And when he got no reply, except the snort of the beast, his hope wavered.

“Don’t bother hoping. I will kill him off soon after today.” The beast opined, and Derek shook his head.

He couldn’t let that happen.

“You have no choice. Anthony boy can’t subdue me forever.” The beast said, imploring a psychological tactic that worked, thereby cancelling out Derek’s hope of Anthony’s prowess.

But if only Derek knew the extent of the latter’s powers, and the damage it could cause to the beast.

If only he could remember the dream, at least.
