The End Is The Beginning

Cole's POV

I have been bested but not defeated. I don't know what kind of spell that girl did on me but all I know is that I am not healing like I was supposed to. It has been weeks and my wounds are still open, the witches have tried to help me but they too haven't been lucky in finding out what is wrong with me. I have been here lying in this bed for weeks but that doesn't mean that I didn't have plans, oh I have plans, big big plans for our Elena, I am not done with her, not by a long short.

I heard footsteps coming from the hallway, from the sound of the steps, I knew that it Agatha approaching me. After the battle with Elena, I only have but a handful of creature's around me, after most of them died, the others began to leave. You see I rule with an iron fist, my Covenant was led by fear, fear that I would kill each and every one of them without giving it a second thought, but when Elena beat me, my own men no longer feared me. They deserted me. They were no longer afraid of me or what I would do to them.

For years I have been dreaming about a day when I would actually get a chance to have someone as powerful as Elena on my side, can you imagine the power I would have? We could have ruled the world, we could have taken anything and everything from anyone and no one would dare ask questions. Elena doesn't realise just how much her powers can do for her, which is why I have big plans for her. 

I might have been in bed all these time but I have been talking with the witches, I have been asking about a lot of things, at the top of the list was the question about where Elena was hiding my son? I have asked the witches to find him for me but they can't, they said that he was covered with a cloaking spell, a very powerful one, that's because Elena made it, if there's one thing that I have learned with magic, is that there's always a loophole, I guess you can call it the universe's way of keeping balance, there's always a loophole, I need the witches to find it so that I can get my son back. 

After what happened to Jonathan, he is no longer part of the pack, he killed their Alpha so he is no longer welcomed, this means that they have shut down their connection with him. I can't say that I am not happy about that because this works in my favour. If they don't want him, he is welcomed with me, someone as strong as him should not be mixing with the likes of them anyways, he belongs here with me where he can be himself. With me he doesn't have to hide, with me he doesn't have to feed on animal blood. A knock came on my door.

"Come in Agatha..." I said and waited as she opened the door and made her way in with a tray, I hated seeing that tray because it reminded me that Elena had bested me, which only made me even more angry. It reminded me that she was much much stronger than me, stronger than I could ever be. 

"I keep on forgetting that you have super hearing abilities... Let me see that wound." She said and raised my silk pyjama top. The wound was on my heart, I can't believe that she wanted to take my heart, that little witch is going to get what's coming for her, that I am sure of. I have a new plan, one that will not fail me.

"How is it looking today?" I asked her, I was asking if I was healing. 

"Well it's certainly getting better, you will be up and about in no time. " Agatha said, but she was not giving me a straight answer, if anything she was just telling me what she thought I wanted to hear, that makes her smart, she knows that I don't like to hear bad news, especially when I am not on my best behaviour. I flinched a bit as she removed the cloth, she put on another one and I felt the pain deep down in my bones. 

"How's the search going? have you found my son?" I asked her.

"Not yet but we are hopeful that we will be able to find him when the full moon comes." She said.

"Why do you have to wait for the full moon? I want results Agatha, if you can't even do a simple thing like find my son then what good are you to me?" I asked her.

"I know Sire... I promise you that we will find him, there's going to be an eclipse on the next full moon, that will give us more power, we will be able to find him then, I promise you." She said.

"I don't have to remind you about what happens to people who can't please me. " I said. I was reminding her that she must always keep her eyes on the ball because her life means nothing to me, especially if she can't be of any help.

"No Sire... we will find him." She said.

"Good, how's our other project going? Can it be done?" I asked her.

"In theory yes but it's not going to be easy Sire, every way we have found is dangerous, messing with that kind of power and magic is not only hard but it's dangerous as well." She said.

"I don't care what it takes, just make it happen, I want her here, by any means necessary." I said.

"Yes Sire..." She said and opened a little bottle of medicine she had on the tray. "Drink this, it will numb the pain." Agatha said and gave me the bottle. It was a magical potion, it was supposed to make me better but all it did was put me to sleep and I was done with sleeping. I am still in pain but I know that if I don't get out of this bed, nothing will be done. My new project is going to change the course of history, it is going to take away the power that Elena thinks that she has.

"No, I don't want that, tell the werewolves to meet me in the throne room, I have a new assignment for them." I said.

"New assignment? What do you mean by that?" She asked me. I have made Agatha my right hand man or woman in this case, I have been telling a lot but not everything. This is one of the things I didn't tell her about, the new plan. 

"I suppose you are going to find out soon, I need the werewolves because I want them to go and make someone an offer they can't refuse, I need allies, strong and powerful allies, I need an army, folks that will be fighting for me." I said.

"But Sire, we have our own army, they are strong and they are ready to die for you." She said.

"We barely made it out of there alive, had you not activated my son's curse we would be dead, we can't beat them, especially now that we have lost so many..." I said.

"So this new ally of yours? What makes you think that he will be able to help us? Sire every creature is scared of Elena, no one wants to even come close to her let alone fight her." Agatha was right, Elena was strong and everyone is indeed afraid of her but if things go according to plan then we could win this time.

"Because we will have someone much more stronger than Elena, someone with more power than you can imagine, that person will lead us to victory, I will avenge myself." I said.

"I don't know Sire, this just seems to dangerous, I as your advicer would advice you to find another plan but we both know that you won't." Agatha said.

"Yes, I won't. Get everyone to the throne room, I will be there shortly." I said.

"As you wish Sire..." Agatha said and left.

I suppose I should be like everyone and be scared of Elena right? But the truth is that I can't allow myself to feel like that, she is just a child, a child with power she doesn't know. Her fighting skills were Impressive, she has certainly learned a lot about her magic but I know better. I know that she still doesn't know her own strength. Right now she is vulnerable because she is heartbroken.

Anyone would he heartbroken if the man they loved got killed infront of her. I saw how my son couldn't stop himself. That was our escape plan, there was no other way. It's not that I had planned for failure but I knew that I had to have another plan in case things didn't go well with my plan. I should have known that she was going to try and separate us. I should have known that she would do everything she could to protect her village, the village and the pack that she was born to lead. I managed to escape but even I know that this is far from over. She is coming for me, this is why I have to be ready.

I slowly got out of bed, feeling pain everytime I moved, I put my feet down and I put on my robe. There was a cane on my beside. I hated feeling like this, I am not a human being, I am not supposed to feel this kind of pain, Elena's spell is powerful, my witches have to find a way to free me of it. 

I used the cane and I walked to my throne room, I had to move into another place, a place where they would not find me, I didn't want any of the people who left to know where I was because I didn't want uninvited guests at my house. I hope that when my son is found, he will see that the only place he belongs to is with me. That he needs to be with his family and together, we can do anything. His bite is dangerous and lethal to some but to me, this could be a game changer, I could be a hybrid like him, I could have more power.

I slowly sat on my chair, everyone was there like I had requested, everyone of them was standing there waiting for me to tell them why I had summoned them. I know that what I am doing is for the good of the Covenant, when we have the allies that we need then we will be able to have some much needed man power. Agatha stood next to me. 

"Firstly I would like to personally inform you that I am better and that I am ready to get back to where we were, which is why I called this meeting. I want the werewolves to deliver a message for me. " I said. 

I looked and saw how much anticipation they had to hear what I had to say to them. The truth is that I don't want lie in bed anymore, I spent weeks there and I am not going to sit around anymore. I have things that I have to do.

"Why the werewolves you would ask me? Because they are going to talk to someone, a man that only understands one language, that language is violence and revenge, this ally will help us to get what we need the most, an army." I said.

"I need three volunteers to go there..." I said and a few people wanted to go, I was happy that my men were still willing to anything I asked of them. I am coming for Elena and this time, I am coming twice as strong. She won't know what hit her when I am through with her.
