Chapter 100
Perseus felt his vision blur and lost consciousness. Sophie let out a great laugh full of malice and glee, savoring her triumph. Then, he walked to the door and opened it, revealing two wolves guarding the entrance.
“Come in, take him down, and put him to bed!” He commanded authoritatively.
The wolves obeyed and hurriedly untied Perseus and laid him on the bed. Once they were done, they left the room, leaving Perseus alone with Sophia.
Sophia approached Perseus and, with malicious gestures, stripped him completely naked. It was night, and she intended to wait patiently for him to wake up.
The next morning, Perseus woke up with a throbbing headache and a deep sense of confusion. Looking around, he couldn’t recognize the place he was in. His mind seemed to be blank, unable to remember anything of his life.
A honeyed voice roused him from his daze, and he turned his head to see an unfamiliar woman beside him.
“My love, you’ve woken up,” Sophie said with an affectionate smile.
“Who are you?” Perseus asked, his eyes full of distrust and bewilderment.
“I’m Sofia, your wife, your mate, your moon. Look, look at your mark,” he explained as he pointed to a mark on his neck. Sophia had cast a twisted spell. She had mated with another wolf to mark her, making him believe it was her real mate, and then killed him.
Perseus examined the mark, but he could not remember making it. Confusion gripped him, and he looked at Sophie with a vacant expression.
“I don’t remember you,” Perseus murmured, struggling with his mind to remember.
Bringing her head closer to the mark, Sofia began to cry, and between broken sobs, she tried to explain the situation.
“Look how they’ve left you. Sophia grabbed Perseus’ hands and showed him the marks he had.
“Do you really remember nothing, my love?” He inquired anxiously.
Perseus kept searching in his head, but he couldn’t find anything. I was completely empty and confused.
“I don’t know who I am,” he whispered, disorientation painted across his face.
“You are the alpha, Perseus, leader of the Vilkas pack. Two weeks ago, a witch posing as a nymph entered our pack with the help of the kings of the empire, as they are her parents. They tried to depose you and destroy you because of that witch named Eos – Sofia stared at him, looking for a reaction on his face at the mention of that name, but she found none. She’s obsessed with you and with her power she wanted you to be hers, but you only loved your mate, me, so you rejected her. Then her parents wanted you to marry their daughter and banish me from our pack. Our love got the better of us, and you decided to reject them. One night, they entered our territory, and you fought valiantly. Then, you begged me to leave while you distracted them. I ran through the woods and was rescued by some renegade wolves. They have experienced the wickedness of kings and know that they are evil. Yesterday, after a long time, we managed to rescue you.” Sofia ran her finger over the marks of the strings. They had you tied up.
Perseus took in the story Sophia was telling him, the obsessed witch’s words and the plans of the kings were running through his mind, though he still felt weak and confused. He felt that Sofia’s words helped him find his way back to reality.
“How dare they want to take my pack from me?” My people did nothing. Perseus snooped with suppressed fury.
Sofia replied with sadness in her eyes.
“Your warriors fought alongside you, but you were captured. That witch of Eos took your pack and posed as your moon, the Vilkas pack moon.
Tears began to flow from Sophia’s eyes again, and Perseus took pity on her.
“The worst thing wasn’t that they killed your father. Frederick was your father, he was charged with embezzlement of pack funds and prosecuted. Eos killed his father mercilessly.
Anger flooded Perseus as he heard of his father’s death, and his gaze became more intense.
“That can’t be, they have to pay for what they’ve done. Let’s go to other alphas and explain to them what they’ve done to us. Those kings are not worthy to lead us.
“That’s the worst, what they’ve done to us they’ve already done to other packs. If you don’t believe me, we can go to some incognito packs and ask if they’ve had an alpha stripped and killed at the hands of kings.
What Perseus didn’t know was that Sophia had everything under control, leading him to the herds she had planned to visit. The potion she had injected into him made his blank mind soak up everything she said to him, so that he would believe it as real memories.
In the Blue pack, Eros was enlisting his warriors to prepare to go to his daughter’s side. He couldn’t believe the terrible news he had received and was determined to leave with his people that very afternoon.
“My love, let me go with you. Our daughter is in danger and she needs me by her side too,” Danna said worriedly.
“No, my queen, wait here. We don’t know what we’re up against, or what state Perseus will be in. In addition, you are not in good health. Wait for our return and stay safe.
“It’s all right. I’ve already reached out to Eda and Sofia; They’re going to support us in this conflict,” he spoke with sadness on his face.
Eros hugged his wife affectionately. Ever since his daughters had left, he had felt dejected, discouraged, and powerless.
While on the border of the wolves, a couple was engaged in a heated argument.
“I told you I’m not coming back with you. My sister needs me. If it’s like my mom told me, this battle isn’t going to be easy for her,” Eda said sadly.
“Eda, I have responsibilities to my company. You’re my mate.” He walked over and positioned his head in front of hers, wrapping his right hand around her waist. From the moment you walked through the door of my office, I was captivated by your essence. I won’t be able to spend a night away from you, I can’t stand to live without your warmth in my bed to sleep. You and our son are the only thing I have, you can’t force me to separate from you.
Eda bit her lower lip, aware that when her wolf became possessive and grumpy, they would end up tangled in bed.
“I’m not moving away from you, Magnus,” he continued in a soft voice. You know I love you and at the same time I hate you because you changed my life overnight. However, you must understand that it is my sister who needs me. It’s my blood, the person I used to be inseparable with before I met you. Don’t make me choose between you and my family, because that would strip me of this intense desire I feel for you, which could turn into disappointment.
Magnus just squeezed her tighter and hugged her. He didn’t know what decision to make, whether to follow her into that battle or return to the life among humans he knew behind his desk and wait for her to return. His heart was racing, and without saying a word, he broke away from her to kiss her passionately. At that moment, all he wanted was to feel her and calm his fears.
That same night, Sophia and Perseus were standing in front of the Vilkas herd, ready to go in and claim their herd.
“Ready to take what belongs to us,” Sophie declared, boldness in her eyes.
Perseus was consumed by the desire for revenge, full of fury, he said.
“That damn which is going to pay for my father’s death and for interfering with my connection to my wolf. I will have no mercy on her,” he said with anger in his voice.Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.
