Chapter 41: Part 2 Frustrated


    Luka''s POV


    My eyes felt heavy, but I needed to show them that I am awake and listening to the conversations that


    were said. I couldn''t feel my body at all, yet I finally managed to turn my head slowly towards Mei. Her


    sweet, gentle voice wanted me to try my best to move at least a little. The look in her eyes when I


    turned was of pure love and affection and I couldn''t wait to get better, both for her, the baby and for the


    pack. I tried to speak, but I couldn''t manage to form a word which got me frustrated as there was so


    much I wanted to say.


    "Shh, that''s ok. One step at a time," she said, stroking my forehead gently.


    I could hear my wolf whimper at her touch but it couldn''t release itself from within. Despite trying hard


    to move my legs, my arms, shoulders....nothing was responding. I couldn''t speak, eat or drink and I


    had tubes stuck into my arms. Shit! I felt frustrated. Tears rolled down my face as I turned to look


    straight up, staring at the ceiling. I felt Mei''s fingers wipe my cheeks and squeezed her hand against


    mine.


    "I''m sorry Mei," I said through telepathy.


    "Oh, don''t be. It''s not your fault, and you know that! Now rest and get better!" She whispered into my


    ear.


    I started to feel drowsy and my eyes closed shut as I drifted back into the dream world.


    The witches must have returned as I could hear a lot of chatting around me. I opened my eyes and


    tilted my head towards the voices. Mei had her back facing me and noticed that she was looking down


    at something. Jake was sitting down at the edge of the bed trying to peep between everyone else. I


    groaned, trying to draw attention and they all suddenly stopped talking and turned their heads towards


    me. Mei rushed to my side smiling.


    "You are up! Just on time. Look, the witches retrieved this book. This is going to help take the demons


    back to where they belong."


    My eyes rested on the book cover and read demon destruction. I frowned and looked back at Mei,


    confused since I didn''t know what they were nning to do.


    "It took us a few days to reach the witches'' library and half a day searching for this book. When we


    found it, it took three of us to manage to retrieve it as it was bound with a fixed spell since it is a very


    dangerous book. But this is the one we need to fight the demons away," Lh exined, now sitting on


    the chair next to my bed.


    "And, regarding your...well.. matter we want to help in getting you better. We have figured that you


    looked into the mirror and saw....him. With just one look at their true selves, a demon can freeze your


    muscles. Normally those who end up in such state they get attacked by the same demon again and


    again until he takes every inch of you, including your soul. In your case, he will not dare to try again as


    he is threatened by our presence. One of us will stay here day and night and make sure you will not get


    attacked again. In time your body will start improving and you will be up and running," she exined,


    smiling at me.


    "Yeah, I''m already feeling a bit better," Jake said turning to my direction. "I couldn''t move my legs at all,


    but now I can... Just a little. Can''t stand up yet but look."


    I shifted my eyes towards his legs as he wriggled his toes grinning at them.


    "You see? Better," he continued goofily.


    "I''ll stay," Melody offered, looking at me, nodding. If I could I would have smiled but my body was tense,


    including my face.


    "He said thanks," Mei offered, nodding at me. "He can at least talk telepathically, you see," she


    continued.


    Nelly''s pov


    I was outside, sitting down on a bench whilst absorbing the great sensation of the sun hitting my skin,


    smoking one of my favourite thin cigars with the spellbook on myp. Whilst turning the pages I started


    to read aloud like there was arge audience waiting for a story.


    "Durakan demon, known for thriving through fear and pain. Reimbursing spell, demtorum spell,


    silvulum protection spell. Ahh. So many options."


    I turned the next page and the next until I found the right spell for the right demon.


    "Huh, gotcha. This will do temporarily," I said exhaling the fumes out of my lungs, enjoying the moment


    of aplishment.


    I turned off the cigar and strolled back into the hall where Lh was, talking to one of the wolves.


    "Mind I interrupt? It''s urgent," I said looking at the other olddy.


    She observed me for a second, then nodded, forming a friendly smile. I pulled Lh to walk with me


    back outside.


    "Look. I found it! This must be the one. Look at this drawing. Horns, hooves, goaty looking ugly


    creature. No wonder he can''t bear to look at himself in the mirror. I wouldn''t want to see me like that


    either."


    I watched her observe the page whilst softly passing her delicate finger over the writing and drawing.


    "Yes. I think this guy is the one. This is no gentle beast. He will give us a good fight until he gives in,"


    she said, turning her attention on me.


    I smirked, willing to be in such action.


    "Still, this is not the demolishing spell, so we must look further into this book. The mirror mirror spell


    can onlyst so much," Lh said handing me back the heavy book.


    "Well, let the games begin," I retorted.


    Luka''s POV


    I can''t stay like this forever, I kept thinking to myself. I am the alpha and the king. I can''t let the wolves


    without their master. Slowly I tried to move a muscle... Something... Anything.


    "Move," I finally said aloud.


    To my surprise, I heard myself talk for the very first time in days. I wanted to smile to myself for my first


    achievement.


    "You spoke," Jake said excitedly. "Say something else! Come on!" He encouraged, looking at me with


    wide eyes still sitting on his bed.


    Melody stood up from her chair and walked towards me smiling and nodded in encouragement.


    "Mei," I said in a throaty voice.


    I looked at Melody hoping she would understand my need for my mate and bring her next to me.


    I heard Jake chuckle, "yes! He ising back! The King is returning!" he said with his voice


    prating in my ears.


    I wanted to let out some joy I was feeling within me, but other than managing one word at a time, I had


    no movement still.


    "I''ll find her and let her know you have asked for her," Melody said, making her way towards the door.


    What were minutes of wait, felt like hours. Jake couldn''t stop talking and he was giving me a headache,


    but I didn''t want to stop him, knowing what we have all gone through these past months. I knew that he


    was relieving himself off of his anxiety. Whatid ahead of us was even far worse than what was to


    come. I was trying to motivate myself, I concentrated to move my fingers. As hard as I tried, it was to


    no avail. Jake stopped talking and I felt him staring at me for a while after hearing a strong exhale


    coming from me.


    "I''m sorry you have to go through this."


    His eyes hovered over my still body in a pitty manner.


    "No," I managed to say with my choky voice. "No Alpha, we have you as our alpha. You will heal and


    return to your rightful position. Mei was making sure that everything was still going the usual way


    around the packhouse, including daily training."


    I turned my head weakly to look at him and smiled for the very first time in a while. At least my facial


    muscle movements were returning. Jake returned a smile. I could feel my wolf move within me like he


    was restless and unable to emerge.

    "Don''t worry Simba. I''m trying my best to get us back," I mind linked my wolf, trying to calm him down,


    which seemed to have worked.


    Mei''s POV


    Mkai seems to be doing his job pretty well for our pack, making sure we don''t lose our


    Stamina whilst Luka was in the process of healing. It felt good to let everyone know what has


    happened to their alpha during the meeting I had with the pack this morning. A heavy weight was


    slightly lifted from my shoulders. They had to know as they needed to be aware of the present


    circumstance. I was starting at the pack, watching them train from a few meters away, wishing I could


    join them. But my belly was getting heavier and I felt less keen on training for the time being.


    "Mei," Melody''s voice said quietly from behind me.


    I turned, startled as I hadn''t sensed her or scented her, being so close.


    "I''m sorry. I didn''t mean to disturb you."


    Her eyes looked like she had something exciting to say.


    "Luka spoke your name. I think he wants you," she exined.


    "Spoke?" I asked surprised. Melody nodded and smiled.
