[This is not gonna work Gina, no matter how much we provoke him, he won't try to kill me. Can't you see it? we have to use another method!]
She sighs. 'I can't believe this, i never predicted that he'll try to protect you after all of that. Since things are out of hand, you just do whatever you want to make him drink your blood.'
This is one of the most dangerous plan that we came up with. It comes with the risk of getting killed if it doesn't work. The purpose of making him drink my blood is due to the fact that my blood contains my werewolf identity.
He might recognize the mate pull with this.. or not. Anyway, it was a gamble that was part of our plans. It would be helpful if it did work towards this beast, it might lessen my problems.
Right now, he only remembers the memories without recognizing me. Gina and i thought that if we do this, we might actually break his seal.
I exhaled, nodding to the agreement between us.
That is when i ripped my own abdomen forcefully, doing it in a very fast pace so he won't be able to stop me, the blood from my mouth dripped dangerously.
I grinned.
"No!" Zyrus grabs my hand. "Stop it!"
Taking that as a chance to do the deed. I forced my other hand to his mouth. Using my weight, i used strength to knock him down, making it easier for my blood to enter his throat.
"Drink it!" I shrieked when he tried to push me away.
His eyes darkened after he stopped moving. Taking that as a signal that my blood has finally reached his system, i jumped away from him.
He screams, his voice reaching in all corners of the arena, he held his head in pain. My blood was dripping from his mouth, while his eyes darkened dangerously.
I winced in pain, looking at his pained state.
He was suffering because of the seal, i don't want this but it's the only way to make him come back to me.
You have to remember me Zyrus!
Yet it looks like he wasn't able to endure the pain. Everything went silent all of a sudden, his muscles freezing in spot, He fell unconsciously on the ground, his body stopped from moving.
Seeing that he was out cold, i approached his body.
I'm sorry Zyrus, i thought while i looked at his exhausted expression on his face.
"You must remember Zyrus, you must remember me." I kneeled, kissing his forehead. "It's the only way we can stop this curse."
I stood up.
The weather darkened from the same time i felt the despair inside of me ranging out of control. The words that came out from me pained me. For i know very well what was the only way to stop the curse.
To stop the fate of you killing me in the end.
I don't want that, i don't want you to suffer because of this fate. I can't allow you to kill me yourself!
My tears started to fall.
"In this life.. we can only be enemies." I cried, gripping my chest before turning away.
I wailed, the sadness swallowed me as i kept thinking of what would happen now. The uneasiness repeatedly told me that it was futile to fight the fate i was walking upon on. But due to my determination to save him from the fate that awaits us, i continuously told myself to do whatever it takes to succeed.
I have to succeed! I've been running away from all of this, this time i'll save you! i'll fight this accursed world! even if i have to do it on my own!
I stopped crying, forcing myself to harden the walls inside my mind.
As i was about to leave, a voice alerts me from behind. Just by sensing the individual, i could immediately tell who it was.
"Charles," I growled lowly before turning towards him.
"Your brother really out outdid himself, he actually planned things so perfectly." Charles strides towards me.
Jason?
"What exactly are you getting to? my brother is dead."
He chuckles. "I've only met your brother once. It was the time of the 3rd great pack wars. You know why?"
My eyes widened in shock.
He met my brother? and just what is he saying that Jason planned something so perfectly?
Just what is he saying?
I glared at him. "Don't you ever use my brother against me Charles, i swear i'll-"
He raises his hand in surrender. "I don't tell lies, your brother knew everything that was gonna happen till this day. That's why he approached me in the past."
I frowned, seeing that he was being honest just by his eyes. "What is this plan you're talking about? just how did my brother planned all of this?"
"I'm only saying it's perfect since he even fooled me in the end. Who knew that the potion i gave him would be recklessly used to that alpha king?"
"What?" I tilted my head in confusion, still not getting what he was trying to say.
"The calli potion."
"What calli potion?"
He frowns, his face plastered with annoyance. "It's one of the reasons why my seal broke that i placed inside that dog. I gave that potion to your brother since it has another effect other than breaking a mind seal, which is to heal any sickness. It's a very precious item that i have to give out since he convinced me that you were heavily sick back then."
I couldn't believe it.
So he's saying that Jason took part why Zyrus's seal broke in half? Why? Why would even Jason do that?
"Are you kidding me?" I laughed bitterly. "My brother hates my mate's guts, so why the hell would he help him!"
"You still don't get it, Christal? He didn't do it for him, he did it for you."
I flinched.
"I don't know how you're brother knew i would put a mind seal on that dog, or what was his intention in dying in the hands of that dog so pitifully. The only thing i'm sure of is that he's definitely helping you-"
"Help me?! That potion has another side effect! it gave an illusion of a mate! so how would it exactly help me!" I growled in anger, realizing that it didn't make sense that the potion helped- it only made things worse!
"Another side effect you say? There's no such thing as like an illusional mate. If there is, then it must be your brother's plots again. Don't blame me for it." He says in a low voice, worried at how i looked at him.
"Shut up," I mumbled, my head down. "What's the use of telling me now? my brother died because he was a fool. He's no genius, he just killed himself and even his sister never shed a single tear when it happened."
My heart clenched in pain, remembering the moment when Jason's neck snapped by my mate's hands.
I closed my eyes.
"Anyways, I'm here to fetch you." He says bluntly. "Come with me, since you're planning to rebel against that dog, i would gladly lend you my resources."
I opened my eyes, giving him a confused look. "What? how can you even be sure that i'm rebelling right now?"
He laughs, pointing his finger towards me- no rather towards my back. It was Zyrus's who was lying unconscious on the floor, not just that. He could probably tell just by looking at the hundreds of werewolves on the ground inside the arena.
"I've watched everything till now. That dog has already chosen his mate, he abandoned you so i know your anger. You wouldn't be even pleased if you kill him right now, you want him to suffer slowly right?"
I flinched, the tone of his voice sending a shiver on my spine. It was one of the moments that i actually saw a devil from his shadow, his frightening aura surrounding him.
Even though it was just part of the plan to fool Zyrus enemies, i never thought that even Charles would also fall into the trap we laid.
He saw everything that i did so he must be convinced that i hate Zyrus right now.
Lowering my head, i clenched my jaw while acting that i was furious. "That's Right! I hate his guts!"
My canines started to show.
"i don't even have to feel sorry for hurting him right now because the mate pull is gone! there's no reason for me to cling to him any further. I just want him to suffer!" I acted willingly, my eyes turning vengeful in effect.
He smiles, satisfied that i was feeling anger enough to turn away from my mate.
I knew i was just acting, but even i myself would believe that i would turn vengeful after Zyrus tried to abandon me for an impostor. Truly, it was enough to shake my faith in him. I wasn't an angelic white wolf after all, i could also turn vengeful if my heart sways in a dangerous direction.
Yet it was because Gina was there to guide me that i stood firmly even if Zyrus tried to kill me.
Seeing that i have lost everything till now, then i could only resort to the most dangerous plan that we could think of.
Charles reaches out his hand, a grin on his face. "Come, i'll help you achieve your goal. We will completely destroy the whole werewolf society."
I trembled.
I've really started to become my mate's enemy.
With that one last thought, i placed my hand on his.
