Chapter 37: Entice

Elias

_____

I roared with laughter at what I’d seen in Mairi’s memory. “You were attacked by love at first sight with my grandfather?”

She gave me a look of detest. “That was a long time ago, Elias. Now, I’m in love with you. Don’t be jealous.” As much as her mood swings were going back and forth fast, it was the same for the expression on her face. She was now smiling charmingly at me.

That made my jaw hung. Then I snorted, saying, “You can dream, spaewife but I will never fall in love with you. I’m already imprinted on Avabella and I’m in love with her until my days will end.”

She smiled. “I know about the imprinting because I was there when it happened, and I found it interesting. I was happy to watch your subtly pursuing her while I was in your shamaness’ body and put my plans in motion.”

My mocking grin faded when I heard it. “What? You crazy spaewife witch!” I wanted to grab her by the neck, but I couldn’t hold a mere specter like her. She just glided away from me, goading me, laughing. I balled my hands into fists with anger.

“Your time with that fake witch vampire is numbered, Elias. However, if you choose me, we can be together forever! No one can ever split us up. Nothing! For that to happen, you and your wolf must separate.” She was back right in front of me, caressing my face. I felt her coldness travel down my entire being, giving me goosebumps.

“You can’t ever separate me from my wolf, Mairi!” I said confidently.

‘If I have to separate from my wolf, that means I’m dead.’

She glided in front of me again, giving us a little distance so she could stare at me fully. “I can do that, of course. First, I have to put you to sleep. Your wolf will be sleeping with your body, and your soul, I can take it easily with me, Elias. It’s that simple actually.”

Fear gripped my heart. As easily as she said those words, there was no doubt she could do that with a flick of her finger. Damn it! How could I get away from this crazy witch specter? I was never nervous in my entire life as much as at the moment. I didn’t want her to do that and take me away from Avabella. I couldn’t let her do that. But how could I fight against a crazy powerful bodach like this? Should I go along with her, pretend and do something later? But what to do later? I might not be able to escape from her once her plans were successful.

I cursed in my head again and again. I tried to reach out to Avabella but there was only silence. I wondered if she was okay. I was really worried. But I at least had to trust in her—that she was fine. After all, she had Maria Adriana’s powers. Maybe to stall the bodach was my best option here. Then it hit me.

“Before you separate me from my wolf, can you show me what happened after my grandfather left you in the cabin?”

“Why do you want to know?” she asked, suspicious. She put a hand under my chin, trying to read my eyes.

“He was my grandfather… you were in love with him… so I want to understand why you even tested me. Why did you even do that if you… love me?” I couldn’t believe I said that last phrase. But I had to do what I could just as I initially planned… to stall whatever is going to happen.

She giggled like a teenage girl. “You’re different from Andrin and Egzon, Elias.” She then embraced me by the neck. Her cold spectral body was giving me chills, and goosebumps crawled all over my body once again. “After all that I’ve been through, I believe you’re finally the one for me. You’re the one who’s going to be with me forevermore.” Her eyes gazed into mine, letting me peer into her past once more.

“Your wife’s dead, Andrin! I told you it’s going to happen if you don’t get rid of the baby!” Mairi spoke, following Andrin in the clearing. The treeline that was only a few meters away from them was the boundary of his territory in the Uetliberg mountain. He thought it was time for him to go home after having a wild run.

The naked Alpha gritted his teeth. It’d been months since Mairi predicted what was going to happen. He swore to kill her, but he couldn’t do it. Just like now, he strangled her, making her eyes water while she grabbed his powerful forearm with two hands. He raised her into the air with blazing dark eyes. Her feet dangled.

“Stop driving me crazy, you spaewife! Even though Luana’s dead, no one can ever replace her. Not even you!” He dropped her to the ground that summer afternoon. She groaned in pain as her bottom hit the hard grassy earth. The sun made her hair look fiery and showed her uncanny beauty. He was clearly trying to shake her off him, didn’t want to be seduced by the thin-gowned spaewife, whom he believed was just a weak human.

“You’ve been running around alone in your wolf form everytime you want to forget, Andrin. And that’s every day and night. You leave your own baby to grow up on his own. Does it even matter if you just leave him like that? He’d better not exist in this world anymore! He will hate you for abandoning him because you can’t let go of your past!” She fueled his already reeling thoughts what to do with his growing son. He was already six months old. “If you’ll have me for your mate, then maybe his curse will be lifted, and everyone will be saved!” She got up from the ground to stand in front of him and tried to convince him about killing his own son. “If not, he’s going to have his own family and he’ll destroy your entire pack, as well as his future offspring’s! It’ll go on and on for the entire line if you don’t get rid of him, Andrin! And if we’re together, I can give you another son. I promise!” She knew she was lying because she couldn’t ever bear him a son or daughter ever since she was already undead. However, he wouldn’t know it. It would already be too late. Maybe by that time, she had already made him fall in love with her and nothing else would matter. Just her and him. And maybe his pack. And by that, she could get her revenge, too. In time. In the future.

Andrin glared at her with so much loathing. “I can tear you into pieces for saying that, you wicked woman! I’m not abandoning my own son just because of your prediction! I can’t just bring myself to be next to Egzon because I don’t want him to see me weak when he grew up. Everytime I see him, my heart is torn into a million pieces because I can’t love him the way I dreamed it to be. To be the best father there could ever be. How can I when I am broken inside for Luana’s passing? I can’t ever go over that. Not ever! And no one can make me forget her. Not you or anyone else! If you don’t want to die in my hands, I’m warning you this one last time, Mairi, stop chasing me! Your stoking me to kill Egzon, my own son, is enough to make me hate you so much!”

She burst into tears, looking at his handsome face. “But I-I love you so much, Andrin! I’ve been keeping you in my heart since that day I saw you in the cabin!” Her voice was broken. So was her heart. She did tell him the truth and she did have her own agenda. But overall, she wanted to be with him. Without Egzon.

‘That baby must die and Andrin will be mine!’ she thought. ‘That’s for sure.’

She suddenly tore her dress away from her body, making Andrin stare at her exquisite nakedness. His dark eyes roved all over her entire being—admiring her beautiful breasts that had pinkish tips, as well as her flat stomach and the V of her sex. She moved to close the gap between them and put her arms around his neck. She tiptoed and began to kiss him on the lips.

“I love you, Andrin. Please love me back!” she whispered in his lips as she kissed him. He tasted like wild fruit, with spicy and saccharine aroma. When he didn’t move, she smiled and let her tongue delve into his mouth.

“I missed Luana!” he whispered, crying and kissing her back. His arms went around her soft body.

“I don’t care if you missed her as long as you’re with me. Just love me like you loved her, Andrin. Please… please let me in to your life!” she begged, kissing him passionately. Her lips moved aggressively against his, and her tongue explored his mouth.

Andrin was lost in her witchy beauty and lust for his dead wife. He let himself be drowned in this desire that his flesh demanded. His arousal made Mairi smile in victory. She moaned when he laid her down on the grass, parting her soft limbs. His lips suckled her breasts one at a time while the other kneaded the womanly globe.

“Yes, Andrin! Love me, too!” she said in a whisper, moaning his name over and over again as she moved her hips to grind his.

“Luana…” He kept on whispering, but Mairi didn’t care even though it was his wife’s name his lips spouted as long as he was going to be hers. If they would always be together like this, she thought he’d eventually love her. Maybe even a little. It would be enough for her. It must be.

Mairi moaned louder when she felt his arousal enter her slick peach. Then he moved his hips, jerking as he drove in and out of her body. It was rough and hard. She smiled as it was just the way she liked so much. Her nails dug into the flesh of his back. His mouth assaulted hers again and again as he rammed inside her body.

“Ohh… Andrin! Yes! I love it hard and rough!” she whispered into his mouth, tongue dueling with his.

“Oh… Luana! I love you so much!” he whispered and groaned. He continued to pump her body rough and hard, but she didn’t care how the blades of the grasses grazed her skin. Her legs were wrapped around his waist, urging him to move faster and harder and deeper.

“Yes, Andrin! Ohh… Ahh…” She thought this Alpha wolf was far better than the Vampire King and all the others. She must have been insane for being in Ozymandias’ castle of priestesses, trying to get his attention, when there was far more better out here. And that was Andrin. This shifter who was beautiful and incomparable to anyone.

There was only one flaw though. Egzon. And she had to get rid of him if Andrin couldn’t get rid of his cursed child.

She screamed when she climaxed, bathing his hard length with her womanly fluid. And yet, he persistently slammed his manhood inside her, without pause. She couldn’t stop screaming with pleasure and victory, enjoying his hard body in hers.

“Oh, yes! Yes!” she moaned until he growled, expelling his own juice inside her and panting.

He looked down at her with open mouth, still breathing hard. She looked back at him, smiling. “Now you’re mine, Andrin.”

He got off her like he just realized what he did. His hard length was jerking from the aftermath, wrapped in their sexual fluid. He ran his fingers through his short dark hair then transformed into his wolf form and ran away.

Mairi smiled at that. She knew he’d be back for her. The certainty that he couldn’t get away from her from now on, whenever his desires flared up, that was enough for her. He was hers from that moment on.

She touched her soaking sex and licked her wet hand, tasting their juices. She closed her eyes, imagining Andrin’s hard body on top of hers. She wanted him again. She couldn’t get enough of him.

And she’d wait right here for him to come for her.

An hour later, she heard his howl. It was already dusk, and darkness would soon cover the surroundings. Then, he was right there, a meter away from her.
