Part two- Chapter 35 continuation

“It is possible” Adio said looking me in the eye and my heart started thudding in my chest. Why do I get the feeling that I am not going to like what he is going to say?

“How?” my voice was barely audible.

“My spirit enters a werewolf’s body” Adio said and I inhaled sharply and so did the others.

“Your spirit?”

“A werewolf’s body”

Rett and I whispered at the same time.

“Oh dear Goddess!” I gulped. I never could have guessed that this is what Adio wanted.

“But you are not dead” Jan pointed. All the mystics present in the room tensed after they heard her, but Adio laughed. I frowned not comprehending what was so funny about it.

“So I am not” Adio said with a smile.

“Then? How can that happen?” Terence questioned.

“B-but what about the werewolf whose body you choose?” I stuttered at the same time.

“The vessel you mean” Dalila said and we nodded.

“Who is going to be the vessel?” I asked Adio. My heart pounded in my chest and my wolf stood up, curious as well as afraid to hear who the werewolf chosen by Adio is.

“The one who had asked for my help” Adio replied calmly. I sucked in a stark breath of despair as my wolf craned her neck and howled in anguish.

No! Not Everett.

“Me” Everett stated looking at Adio.

My eyes welled up with tears and swallowing audibly, I looked at Rett, whose pacific blue eyes were focused on Adio.

“I want you to be my vessel Mr. Green. This is my fee for helping your mate get back her wolf” Adio specified without taking his eyes off Rett.

“No” I shouted shaking my head. “Don’t do this” I told Rett. I felt a cold tremor run down my marrow as I held Rett’s arm and shook my head. Rett smiled softly at me and wrapped his arms around my waist.

“You have given me your word Mr. Green” Adio reminded Rett. I growled not appreciating what he was asking for, with my mate. Adio narrowed his eyes when I did that.

“So I have” Rett said and I shook my head repeatedly.

“Why do you want him as your vessel?” Terence asked with a frown.

“He was the one who came to ask my help. If it had been you, I would have picked you” Adio replied flatly.

“A promise is a promise” Rett told me and I whined softly.

“Is there anything more you have to say?” Jan asked Adio. I spun to look at him.

Adio nodded and clenching my fists, I growled murderously at him. “When Nassor fights with Everett, he will be injured” Adio said and I paled. “If Everett’s body isn’t ready to take more, then I will be forced to remove myself” Adio continued in a deathly calm voice.

“You mean, if I am almost on the verge of dying?” Rett asked amused and I gasped audibly. Catching a fistful of Rett’s dark green shirt, I gritted my teeth.

“I will assure that you do not get hurt Everett” Adio swore.

“But it is still dangerous” I shouted in fury. “Your brother is a mystic and we are werewolves. Our strengths are different” I growled. My wolf scratched inside me, wanting to be let out.

“Lower your voice Templar” Adio said lethally glaring at me. I growled louder than the last time and his golden eyes turned a shade darker.

“I am not going to let you hurt my mate” I snapped in rage. “He is not some sacrificial lamb” I bellowed.

“The first sacrificial lamb will be Adio himself” Dalila said in a soft, painful voice and as I looked at her, I found her crying. I stiffened when I saw it.

“How so?” Jan demanded.

“His spirit is willfully letting go of his own body and entering someone else’s. If your mate loses in the fight, then Adio might split himself from Rett’s body, but he will not be able to enter his own body” I frowned in bewilderment.

“What are you saying?” Rett asked shocked.

“He has to slit his wrists” Dalila sobbed and lowered her head. Sabah wrapped an arm around her mother’s shoulder, but she too was crying.

My wolf slowly started to retreat after hearing Dalila’s words.

Adio sighed and stepped closer to his wife, who immediately wrapped her arms around his neck and cried her heart out.

I took a step back as I remembered Drew whose spirit had entered my body. He had consumed poison and killed himself. Only then he was able to enter my body.

Adio has to do the same. Kill himself. Cut his nerves… Holy Goddess!

“He has to die for this” I whispered.

“No” Adio said and I looked up startled.

“There are a few differences between me and the other mystics, just like there is a difference between a white wolf and the other wolves” Adio began and I blinked. “As a son of our deity means that I can communicate with the beings of all the three worlds. Heaven, Earth and Hell.”

“What about others?” Rett asked looking at Tarik.

“Just the earth and hell. We send the evil spirits to hell but we cannot bring those spirits that have attained peace back to earth” Tarik replied.

“Like Patricia” Rett said and Adio nodded. “Only you were capable of bringing Patricia’s spirit to help us” Adio nodded again.

My head hurt due to jumbled information overload. Shaking my head, I looked at Adio, “Explain from the start”

“I have to slit my nerves at first. When I will be on the verge of dying, my spirit willfully steps out of my body. But it will go to hell because committing suicide is a sin. That is when; I as well as my family will use our powers” he spoke as if he was talking about the weather.

“We do not let Baba’s spirit go to hell” Tarik said determinedly.

“My spirit does not go to heaven either. So I choose Everett as my vessel and I enter his body. I fight with Nassor”

“So we have only ten minutes to fight with Nassor before you die” Rett said.

“Yes. Just ten minutes before my body gives up on me” Adio smiled but I stood frozen in my place. How can he be so calm about this?

“If in those ten minutes Nassor isn’t defeated, your soul will depart to hell and he will be able to kill me” Rett concluded and Adio nodded.

Blood rushed to my ears with a roar of its own and my heart sank to the pit of my stomach as I heard what they were talking. My wolf whined repeatedly and unable to hear anymore, I dashed towards the door and shifting into my wolf, I took off.

After running for a whole minute, I finally found the woods and once there, I stopped in my tracks, craned my neck, looked up at the dark sky and let out a loud, painful howl.

Why does this happen to me? I thought everything was finally fine in our lives and now this… Tears leaked from my eyes as I thought about it. Howling once more, I ran away.

I kept running while also trying to forget what Adio had said. But it was not possible. How could I forget something as big as this? My mate’s life will be in danger. At first, I blamed Adio, but then his own life is in danger. Can I really blame him?

Stopping in my tracks, I closed my eyes and whimpered softly.

I heard footsteps behind me but I did not turn to look at Everett. His black wolf stopped next to me and slowly sniffed my neck. Whining loudly, I nestled closer to him.

He sat down on the ground and I sat next to him, resting my head on his paws.

‘It’s going to be okay’ He said through the link.

‘No. It’s not’ I cried.

‘You don’t trust me?’ he demanded and I looked up, through teary eyes.

‘I do’

‘Then also trust me when I say that
