Chapter 109 — His plan

I don’t know how long I slept but when I woke up, I was glad to find Gina still nestled in my arms. There was a knock on the door, and she jolted awake immediately, looking at me and back to the door.

“Come in,” she mumbled and the door opened, as two teenage girls walked in holding trays. When I saw the food, my stomach rumbled and I realized just how hungry I was.

When they saw the position Gina and I were in, they blushed as they cast a knowing look at each other. They were going to have something to talk about when they left.

After they served the food, I thanked them and they hurriedly scurried away in a way that reminded me of rats. As soon as they left and closed the door behind them, I spoke.

“Why did they dash off like that?”

“Probably because there’s a hot man in their coven,” Gina’s gaze shifted to the fabric hanging loosely around my waist, “A half-naked one at that.”

My eyebrows furrowed in confusion, “And?

I wasn't getting the big deal about it.

“You're like the only man in the entire castle,” she must have noticed the confused expression on my face as she explained further, “I mean it. I’m not even joking.”

My forehead creased. “So, where did they disappear to?”

“Nowhere. There weren't any men here to begin with.”

I understood why the teenage girls acted that way. The witches were strong, and a male witch had never been heard of, so it wasn’t surprising.

My stomach grumbled. I was starving, “Well, good for them. We need to eat and regain our strength.”

After we were done eating, and I felt stronger, I did what I'd been waiting to do.

I grabbed Gina and pinned her beneath me. The flustered, surprising look on her face as the fabric slipped off, revealing my hard cock, was priceless.

After being away from her for too long (less than a day), I craved her more than anything.

Leaning in, I kissed her hard and passionately, savoring the sweet taste of her lips. As my hands moved to yank her clothes off, I was already on the verge of shredding apart, them when she stopped me by placing her hands on my chest.

Her amber eyes were filled with desire, causing a surge of desire to rush to my cock. As she spoke, her voice was like a honeyed melody, sending the good kind of shivers through my body.

“What are you doing?”

“Punishing you for leaving the cave when I warned you not to,” her eyes widened and I smirked, “You thought I’d overlook it?”

She shook her head, “What did expect me to do? Leave you to die?”

“To fucking listen. That’s what I expected you to do,” I growled as I grabbed the hem of her shirt in my teeth, tearing it off like an animal. Her breasts popped out, bare and swollen.

“You just healed! You’re supposed to be resting!” she exclaimed, worry etched on her face, but her desire betrayed her.

“I’m as strong as I can be. No need to worry.”

She eyed the door, “What if someone walks in?”

A dark escaped my mouth, “Do I seem like the kind of man that cares?”

Something dark flickered through her eyes, and I could tell she liked the thrill of getting caught.

Pulling off her clothes till she was completely naked, I bent her over and fucked her from behind till my body weakened.

I loved that as much as she tried to stifle her moans, she couldn’t help it. Everyone within a radius would hear her.

We cuddled on the bed, as I trailed her back with my fingers.

Knock, knock, knock.

Gina had already freed herself from my grasp before I could comprehend what was happening.

“Don’t come in yet,” she yelled as she slipped on what was left of her clothes.

I wrapped the fabric around my waist and sat upright as I watched her panic.

She wore the front of her shirt to the back because of the part I had ripped. Her back was exposed but her chest remained covered.

“You can come in now,” she called out as she sat on a chair, trying to look as calm as possible. Like I didn't just fuck her brains out.

The door came open and the blond woman I recognized earlier walked in, along with a petite red-haired woman.

Their gaze fell on both Gina and me, and a smile crept on the blond’s face.

Her gaze redirected back to me, her brows raised, “I see you’ve most of your strength back.”

‘She definitely heard us,’ Gina’s voice echoed in my mind, and when I looked at her, the embarrassed expression on her face made me chuckle.

I turned to look at the blond woman, “Thank you for the treatment, and thank you for watching over my wife when I couldn't.”

She nodded her head, “You’re welcome. We’ll get you some clothes, and whatever else you need.”

“The car? Where is it?” I asked, suddenly remembering we had one. It's not the car I was concerned about, but my wallet with our pictures in it.

“It’s here, but you won’t be needing it anymore,” the red-haired replied, “Tonight after Gina meets Elara, and the ritual is performed successfully, we’ll get you to your pack immediately.”

I nodded my head, understanding. Because there wasn’t time anymore.

We had barely up to two days left till the blue moon rose, if anyone was counting.

That was less than forty-eight hours.

I looked out of the window and could see it was already morning. How long had I been unconscious?

“If there’s anything else you need, you can tell us now,’ the red-haired added.

There were a lot of things I needed, and that was answers to the questions I had. They were witches known for their vast knowledge, they should have the answers.

“Those wolves that attacked us, do you have any idea what they really are? Do you know who sent them?” If their claws or teeth could poison when they scarred flesh, what were they really?

“They are wolves just like you, but they're still entirely different. Their powers were gotten from a dark stronger force,” I listened as the blond woman ratted on, “It because of this dark force, that they are given powers like being able to regenerate quickly, and the poison they carried within them; the one that almost killed you.”

My heart was thumping as I remembered the feeling of the poison taking over my body. Then I remembered the incident that happened back in our pack.

“A child was killed in my pack by the same poison but I didn’t understand what was the cause then.”

Gina gave me a questioning look and I realized I never told her about it.

“When did that happen?”

“A while ago. Couldn’t tell you yet because I didn’t want you worrying.”

A series of emotions swirled in her eyes.

Suddenly, she gripped her pants and pulled it above her knee. Her legs came into view and we all looked at her confused.

She trailed a finger on her left leg, then met our gazes, “One of them hurt me while he was trying to pull me out of the cave. His claws impaled my skin and I bled, but I wasn't poisoned.”

The injury on her leg had healed already.

The blond spoke, “It's no surprise you're immune to the poison. You're the sacred wolf.”

Relief flooded through me and then I felt rage building up within me as I remembered the child. An innocent child was killed by that same poison, and for what cause? I couldn’t begin to imagine how painful his death had been, and he had been all alone. He must've wished for the pain to go away, for death to take him quickly and mercifully.

A growl reverberated in my chest. “Who sent them?”

The red-haired spoke, “History is repeating itself. That person made a deal with the devil, and has gotten immense power in return. Whoever he bites gets a share of that power. But that’s not all, he’s after something,” her eyes darted to Gina, and I could feel the chills running down her spine, “He’s after you, and no one knows what his plan is.”

“Get to the point. Who the hell was it?” I roared, feeling my impatience slipping, but I felt like I already knew the answer.

A grim expression etched on the blond’s face and as she spoke, her eyes were trained on Gina.

“It’s Damien who made a deal with the devil. Whatever his plan is, Don't let him go ahead with it, Gina. You must kill him.”
