****************************Zane's POVI couldn't believe that this little wolf was trying to overcome my dark magic, and the most unsettling thing about it all was that he was succeeding in whatever he was doing. I filled his mind with visions of the ones he loved fighting a battle couldn't win.The plan was to shatter his mind, not to make his resolve stronger, but the missions were making him more determined to want to free himself from the dark magic hold, but I wasn't going to allow him to do that. I couldn't allow my plan to be thwarted because of him. Angrily, I pierced into his heart, squeezing his heart tightly and making him feel excruciating pain, but I made sure to squeeze in a way he wasn't going to die. I was expecting that he would begin to beg for his life or ask me to reduce the squeeze, but he seemed to be holding on strong, laughing and telling Me that I wouldn't be able to kill him because I needed him for my plans.He was right. I wouldn't be able to kill him be
***************************Zane's POVI began to reflect on my endgame, telling myself why I needed Adrian and the greater plan I had in mind. I had to remind myself of the larger picture I wanted to paint. Thinking of the power and control I would gain once Adrian has succumbed to the darkness. One thing you didn't know is that once my dark magic successfully corrupts anyone automatically I get the strength of the person, irrespective of who the person was so I needed Adrian to be corrupted not just because I want him to be my warrior leading my pack or legion of dark magic supernatural I also wanted his wolf strength for my wolf. The truth was my wolf was not as strong as it used to dark magic was just a cover-up for me if I were to stand and fight a person with my wolf abilities alone I don't think I would survive so I need Adrian's strength as well, in his bloodline wolf's had a very unique kind of strength. Due to what I wanted I was temporarily assured, I cantvaffired to do
*********************Zane's POV I was frustrated that all my tactics seemed fruitless, but I decided that since Adrian wants to talk then I would give him what he wanted. I fling him away, removing my hands from his heart and lungs. It left an open hole in his body, but it was gradually healing; the black magic was making it heal faster. That's why I didn't think twice about doing that to him.I knew that the dark magic inside him would make him heal faster so there was no need for panic. I decided to provoke him, believing that if I could stir up his anger, the dark magic would gain more ground. My eyes glinted as I looked down at Adrian; his hands were on his heart. "You think your stubbornness will save you, little wolf" I sneered my voice laced with deep malice "No one can withstand it for long. Soon you'll break like all the others you are nothing" I said"You think so? Well, I beg to differ; how many of your slaves, or should I say captors, have stayed this long?" He asked r
*****************************Ethan's POV I leaned back slightly, watching Lena with quiet admiration, thinking back from the very first time I met her in the woods down to the day I rejected her when I went to save her when we found out about her true lineage and her struggle with the spoon and now the success with the chair. She was progressing; it was impressive and incredible. Just a few days ago, she could barely control her powers, and now here she was, lifting objects with ease. Still, I couldn't help but worry. There was something else that was weighing her down and something she wasn't saying. I kept on looking at her as she continued to concentrate on the chair in front of her; my mind raced. What if she was pushing herself too much? What if the real battle came? She was stronger now than I had ever imagined; still, the weight of the uncertainty of what lies ahead still bored down on Me.I couldn't shake off the feeling of worry from my mind, not worry about myself, but w
***********************Ethan's POV I watched as Lena lowered herself onto the ground, wiping sweat from her brow. She looked a little bit exhausted. The energy in the air was calm, but there was still an undercurrent of tension. I took a deep breath, knowing that there was no way to avoid the next conversation in our minds, which was the bigger conversation. "Lena, now that you've been able to move things with your mind, what do we do next? We need to talk about what comes next" I asked I calmly asked Lena about how she felt after the training, using the moment to open up about my concerns and to probe her about what was in her mind and what was troubling her. I didn't want to push too hard but I knew we needed to be prepared for whatever comes next, whatever lies ahead."How are you feeling?" I asked my voice was low and gentle as I didn't want to overwhelm her but I couldn't help the biting concern in my chest "I know you've been pushing yourself too hard, my dear. I can see it
****************************Ethan's POV We had just finished our previous conversation and training session. The atmosphere felt calmer now but I still sensed the need to cement our next step. The urge to do ds was so strong. I initiated the conversation to solidify our plan and make sure they aligned well once again. I stooped up to get the both of us a glass of water, then came back to sit next to her.I could tell that she needed the water from the way she gulped it all down fast enough. She probably didn't ask as she didn't remember water since her mind was just everywhere else, especially in the training and the battle to come. We both needed to catch our breath, but the truth remained that there was no time to relax completely.After like an hour of not saying a word just her hands on mine, her head was on my shoulder. She placed her head on my shoulder after age had drunk the water finish. "We've made great progress today", I started, my voice steady "but we need to decide w
************************Lena's POV Ethan's assurance gave me a kind of push and zeal; I felt comfortable after hearing his constant assurance after promising he was going to stay by me. I began to prepare mentally for another training session determined to test my limits and hone my powers.The truth is I was nervous but I was trying to keep my focus on the need to protect the one I love. I could feel and hear Lyla's assurance in my head, urging me to stay calm and controlled. I closed my eyes and took in a deep breath. O lest I forget, we had already left the living room to the battle floor; we didn't want to take chances and ended up scattering the whole living room. The battleground is where Ethan and other warrior wolves train even wolves. The tension in the air was palpable but I knew what I had to do. Lyla’s voice echoed on my mind continually urging me to calm down. "Focus, Lena. You need to control it, not let it control you." She said I could feel Ethan’s reassuring pre
***********************Lena's POV "I barely managed the chair last time," I said "But you did it, and now you've successfully lifted that heavy statue outside there,", Ethan said, hands brushing mine, his presence grounding me."You've got this," he said softly "Trust yourself"I hesitated, confronting my self-doubt and fear of failure. Lyla's strict guidance, contrasted with Ethan's gentler encouragement, created a moment of internal conflict for me. I began to question my ability to handle the pressure, but both Lyla and then kept urging me to go on For a while, I froze, thinking if I could do this or not. I looked at the items I was told to lift one by one, all made of heavy metals. 'What if I can't do it? What if I lose control of the magic?' This thought was stuck in my head for a while fear gnawed at me. Lyla's voice snapped through my thoughts, "Stop doubting yourself! You've done harder harder things than this. Focus, Lena" At the mention of harder things, I began to wond
