Chapter 125 POWER OF A SPIRIT GUIDE

"That's worse."
"Yeah."
Alpha Ethan sighed.
"But he wants Melissa so badly that he's not thinking straight. Then there's something else."
"What?"
I kept my gaze fixed on him.
"Martin Mutran has a spirit guide."
My eyes widened.
"Impossible. Lycan King Martin Mutran is the most evil Lycan I know. Spirit guides bring goodness. Overwhelming power, yeah, but goodness. And spirit guides are tied to people from the Junerian Pack. Mine is tied to Melissa. This doesn't make any sense at all."
"That's because Martin Mutran's spirit guide is an evil spirit. I think whoever that spirit guide is tied to is dead. Martin Mutran must have killed that person so that he and the spirit guide can be free of the link."
"That's freaking sick. Melissa is there with that psycho."
I massaged my temple.
"How do we get her out of there?"
Alpha Ethan patted my shoulder.
"Right now, Martin Mutran thinks I gave Melissa a spell that makes her love him for ten minutes every day. I told Melissa to pretend it's working. Martin Mutran thinks that each day Melissa is slowly and slowly forgiving him, and soon she will give him permission to use the beast. He's waiting patiently for that day, which is good."
He paused before continuing.
"We have to join our kingdoms' forces and go after Martin Mutran. We have to do it soon because Mutran—because the Lycan King—just reached out to me asking for a spell that expands the time from ten minutes to twenty minutes. I have a feeling he's planning something. Something ugly."
His expression darkened.
"We need to get Melissa out of there before then.”
“I never though that one day I would be back here to consult with this lady. Honestly I didn't. She was one of the many that made my life miserable when I was newly manifesting my power as a vessel of a spirit guide. If not for her, I wouldn't bear so much hate in my heart.”
I narrated to Alpha Ethan as we went up a long roll of stairs that climbed a hill to the temple of the moon goddess which had been built in my pack. After our conversation in the throne room I realized that fighting Martians Mutheran requires the skill of taking on his spirit guide as well. An evil spirit guide is the rarest to find in any vessel. We had to know why it appeared and why Martins Mutheran, of all people, had it.
There was no better place to find answers than with the priestess. I hated her, yes, but she had proven useful and I wasn't going to let me anger cloud my judgement.
“We are here, I suppose.” Alpha Ethan announced behind me. I looked up immediately. I had been so lost in thought that I forgot to pay attention to the way in front of me.
“Yes. Yes, of course. This is the place. We knock three times then we wait.” I described it to him before I proceeded to do it.
We waited for a bit before a hole in the gate slid open and an eye peeped at us.
“We come to see your priestess. Open the gate.”
The hole shut immediately. “Our priestess is communicating with the goddess and will not have visitors today.” The servant said and left.
My brows pulled into a frown. I couldn't help but scoff. “Alright then, since knock knock doesn't work for her. Let's try another way.”
I stepped back, crouching on all fours and building momentum on my feet. Alpha Ethan noticed immediately.
“Wait, King Enzo Davenport, tell me you are not planning to break your way into the home of a scared priestess.”
I chuckled. “I don't have time to wait for her to rigmarole and then decide to open it for me so I'm just going to let myself in.” With that, I pouched off, growing out my claws and driving it into the gate. My claws pierced it effortlessly. I climbed that gate and landed on the other side then I opened it up for Alpha Ethan.
I saw him, standing a safe distance away from the gate and staring with wide eyes.
“Oh you did not just do that.”
I chuckled. “Are you coming or what?” I left him. He hurriedly followed, leaving the gate as open as I had thrown it.
“Wow,” Alpha Ethan couldn't help but admire. The place of the priestess was bigger than you’d imagine it to be from the outside. Flowers grew in vines and crawled over the wall, wrapped around the pillars and covered the floor. You'd think her home has been deserted for years if you didn't know any better.”
“Enzo Davenport. I see you still have the habit of destroying my gate and letting yourself into my place.” A voice echoed through the empty halls of her villa. Alpha Ethan was immediately mesmerized by her voice. When he finally saw her, in her golden robes, strolling out from the prayer room: his jaw dropped.
In short, the priestess was gorgeous like a goddess of nature or something more beautiful.
“Try not to stare. She is a million years old. That freaking thousands of years older than us. Not exactly love material, if you know what I mean.”
“Age is but a number.” Ethan chimed. I rolled my eyes. I hope he is kidding.
“Hello, Amelia. I can see you haven't gotten tired of locking me out of your home whenever I need your help.”
“That's because you are a brazen, unrepentant fool. I don't need your energy around here. It's corrupt enough as it is.” She bluntly replied.
“Sheesh,” Alpha Ethan thought he looked cool by adding sound effects to my mockery.
“I don't have time to bicker with you today. I will go straight to what brought me here. I found a lycan who has an evil spirit guide and he is not tired of anyone from the lunarian tribe.”
She stopped immediately. Her gaze shifted to me. “That's impossible. Everything you said is impossible. If you are here to play mind games with me I suggest you drop it.”
“Sorry to burst your bubble but you are not that interesting to waste my time over. I'm here for serious business. Lycan King Mutheran has an evil spirit guide and his spirit guide is not tied to anyone from the lunarian tribe.”
She raised a brow. “I know the person you speak off. I haven't been out and about for years but I still remember him. He does have a spirit guide in fact but it's not evil. It's ordinary and that spirit guide is tied to someone, a she-wolf. The she-wolf later became Martins Mutheran’s wife. I don't know what happened after that.”
I clicked my tongue and looked at Alpha Ethan. “That explains a lot. His wife is dead, remember. I think he killed her.”
“If he killed her.” The priestess said. “Then it means his spirit guide will automatically become evil.”.
