Chapter 57
From here onwards it's my Pov. I will change this at the time of editing the story.
"I see something” everyone's breath hitched when out of nowhere Cyreana enters the room where Dylan and everyone were training. Dylan was testing his new powers with the other witches. The elemental powers that he had and that he got seems to have tremendous energy one could ever imagine. Even in his human form, he defeated his own werewolves warriors, even his beta Blake and two of the witches that are the twin sisters Amber and Venus Sueffer.
“I can see Edna!” Cyreana spoke in an undertone but she forgot that the people before were her not some normal human but werewolves and witches. The werewolves easily heard what she just said and all of a sudden loud throaty growls of wolves was heard as the anger hearing the name of their enemy resurfaced the pain and loss of their family members and even their Queen.
Dylan though looked as if he was ready to kill maintained his calm and closed his eyes with his hands forming a tight fist as if he was trying to control all his emotions. Surely though, it was hard for Dylan out of all the wolves to maintain such a demeanor after losing his love of his life out of his sight. He wanted nothing but to rip the throat of the enemy who had the audacity to even touch his mate.
"What do you see?” asked Dylan in a taut voice from which one could easily tell that he was anything but calm.
Cyreana closed her eyes as she raised her hands up in the air and concentrated on her vision. “Some strange animals. Yes! animals. No! wait! It's not animals. Is it human? Oh my lord! They look horrible! I can't tell you what they are but I see Edna. She is sitting in the middle of a magic ring circle chanting something. The animals or should I say beast are circling her up as if they are guarding her. Wait! the beast is growing?” Cyreana said and jerked up from her position as she crunched down because of the energy she put on to see that vision.
“Is it not a comfortable position for you?” the wicked witch singsong and Aderyn rolled her eyes muttering colorful words under her breath
“Should I bring you a king sized bed and soft pillows for your aid, your highness?“Edna walked over to Aderyn’s tied down self and placed her head next to Aderyn’s staring into her eyes. Aderyn couldn't help but look at her bloody wounded face.
“Don't look at it!” bellowed Edna's voice as she got up and slapped hard on Aderyn’s face.
Aderyn hissed in pain and closed her eyes not because of pain but the anger she felt.The previous Aderyn who had no emotions killed people and slaughtered life mercilessly began to surface on Aderyn's face. Edna took a step back when she saw the look on Aderyn’s face. A strange coloured light emerged out of her body as a small tattoo like circular mark appeared on Aderyn’s forehead and her eyes changed into dark black as she looked monstrous scaring Edna.
"What is this?” Edna thought as she looked at Aderyn’s inhumane form. Undoubtedly, Aderyn looked vicious and the fact that she didn’t even realize it made Edna wonder what was going on. This was a new sight before her. Never had she ever saw a human looking like this or was it...
Edna looked at the mark on Aderyn’s look and then she realized that Aderyn had already been marked by the king and judging from the tattoo like mark on her forehead she has already been accepted by the werewolf kingdom. That only means, Aderyn is no longer a simple normal human. Though not mated, Aderyn has got some beastly powers from her mate which differentiates her from another human. But as she is a human, the powers are of no match if she were a werewolf. Her power would have increased the double of now if she was a werewolf. It would have been hard for Edna to keep Aderyn in place or keep her captivated for a long time.
"I see” Edna muttered to herself all of a sudden understanding that anger triggers the power within Aderyn and she must learn to control it before the beastly power controls her body. But Aderyn’s power was enough to rip the throat of Edna if she wasn't cautious around her. She made sure not to make Aderyn angry further because she knew Aderyn had no idea about the power nor did she knew how to use it. Triggering her anger would only cause Edna’s own downfall.
“Now, Now look what time it is!” Edna sang trying to change the topic.
As soon as she said that she noticed as Aderyn’s eye changed back to its normal colour and size and she blinked several times at her to adjust her eyes to the light.
“Time to celebrate!” Edna sang and with her magic brought out a flute and a bottle of wine. She gestured the flute to Aderyn but Aderyn huffed and looked the other side declining her offer. Edna shrugged her shoulder and poured an amount into the flute before she raised her flute in the air for toasting by herself “Cheers for my victory!” she sang wickedly with that wicked evil glow in that chatoyance like eyes of hers.
Edna took the flute to her mouth and gulped down the red wine which was actually the blood of some creature that she claimed gave enormous power to her. She danced happily and jumped and hopped on one foot over those candles triumphantly. Aderyn wondered what made her so happy all of a sudden that she was hopping and dancing making merry. Little did Aderyn knew that a cruel and vicious idea of Edna wanting to kill Aderyn before the sunrise had formed in her head.
Seeing those powers, Edna had set her mind that now she would no longer wait to kill Dylan when she can destroy him by killing his mate and gaining her powers making herself, even more, stronger and she had planned it to do before the sunrise. Edna was so happy and busy in merry making that she didn't even sense it coming.
Few miles away, the wild wolves ran across the meadows and streams of the river.The other wild animals watched and some even hide frightened to see not one but thousands of carnivores wolves running like a gust of the wind towards a direction. What looked like a black wolf but not exactly a wolf was leading the massive pack as they sprinted into the woods and vanished away in the dense mass of trees. Little did Edna know that her end was coming because the king himself was leading his pack to conquer the parts of the forest to reach his beloved.
