The Alpha's Curse The Enemy Within

Kaiser's point of view

I leaned deeper on my arm that was against the wall and my deep hazel eyes never pulled away from her. I watched her as she faded out of sight. It took me everything I had not to go after her. I hoped she was alright. That arrow wasn't meant to hurt her that badly. I just needed it to graze her so I could get her blood on it. But now I was left with nothing. She destroyed the arrow and the only chance I had to get that i***t awake.

I heaved a sigh. This was frustrating. This was the f*****g first time in weeks that I had her so close. She was almost before me, but I couldn't even approach her. Not with Vladimir's watchdogs always hovering around her. I had to get to her. I had to know exactly what was going on with her. Why on earth was she on that bastard's side? How the f**k could she suddenly be mated to him? I sighed again. And there I thought Killian was the devil himself.

The only thing I cared about was getting to Sheila. Something was wrong with her. And with the way things went on around here, I was more certain every f*****g day that that bastard, Vladimir did something to her. That was the only reason Sheila could ever be at his side, helping him do only the goddess knew what. And that was what worried me the most. If Sheila wasn't really in her right senses, I had to get to her before she did something terrible.

"Alright, lads. Keep training," I jerked out from my thoughts, hearing the barking of the imbecile I had grown to detest. Ren. He was the commanding warrior in charge of the prisoners in training and the first imbecile I was going to kill the second I got Kade, my wolf back.

I came out from where I was hiding, moving to the spot my arrow had hit her in hopes I could find even if it was a splatter of her blood on the dried-up leaves and dirt that covered the ground. I kept scanning the ground, and my gaze caught something on the dried leaves. Sheila's blood. It was very little, barely a drop. But it could work to get him awake. I hope it did.

My eyes glanced back at the route Sheila took. Right now, I could only pray to the goddess that she managed to get my message at least. I had attached a little gift to the arrow. It was the only way I could let her know she wasn't here alone. I hope it reminded her of who she was, and that we were coming for her.

I left the training field, taking the hidden path back to the camps set up for the prisoners that were in training. I exhaled deeply for a moment, glancing at the moon. There was something about this god-damned Oasis that made time move by so fast.

It has been many weeks since those imbeciles attacked Killian's pack. It was unexpected. Only the goddess knew how the Dark Circle found her. But that wasn't important anymore. The painful reality was, they did. They found the white wolf they had been searching for, and they took her.

I pulled my eyes closed. Just thinking about it infuriated me, and at the same time, hurt me. I could only imagine what could be going on outside the boundaries of the Oasis.

Sheila had lost it with Killian's death. I was shocked. I hated Killian so much, and for so long wanted him dead. But regretfully, his death didn't bring me the happiness I had imagined. Instead, it brought nothing but pain to my sister. Losing one's mate could hurt that much, and now, I could imagine how that must have felt.

Leonardo would be going crazy, but I knew I would have died if Sheila was taken and I had been left behind. It had happened once when Nell Reid took her and I was left behind. I couldn't let that happen again. Sheila's magic had lost control seeing Killian's body. I had never seen her that way before, never. Her magic created chaos and in the midst of it, that bloody bastard came through some witch's portal and pulled her in. I couldn't stay still and do nothing. Kade and I jumped in after them right before it closed. I had no idea where we were headed, but I landed in the woods in my human form. Badly wounded and staring at the face of death itself. Something must have happened to Kade during the jump. I didn't know much because I lost consciousness right away. By the time I regained consciousness, it was a week after. I was in a shack; it was a few distances away from the village. Someone had saved me, Zena. A smile found my lips. She was the one good thing in this f*****g place.

I left the camps, heading for the shack. It's been a few days since I was there. Zena helped me recover, but unfortunately, Kade hasn't. And I couldn't connect with him yet.

I walked out of the woods, from a near distance. I could see the shack. I scanned my surroundings to ensure I wasn't followed. It would put both Zena and him in danger. That was the last thing we needed right now.

I reached the small entrance, knocking on the door thrice. I could already feel her presence behind the wooden door. "It's me," I muttered, and immediately, the door pulled open. I rushed in.

"Kai," Her beautiful voice called, as she collapsed in my arms. I wrapped my arms around her, kissing her soft skin. Zena was not only my savior, she was my fated mate. It came to me as a shock as well. I didn't imagine I would find my mate in a place like this. Zena was a prisoner in Oasis as well, and If it wasn't for her, I might have not made it.

I kissed her sweetly, pulling away from her.

"How did it go? Were you able to see her? Did you get her blood?" She asked with her round beautiful eyes on me.

I sighed, shaking my head. "I couldn't get close to her. But I got this. Would it work?" I showed her the leaf with Sheila's blood on it.

"It should," she said, as I looked past Zena to the door behind. "Who's in there with him?" I asked, alarmed.

"It's Elliot. I called for him. We need his help to perform the spell. I've done the best I can with the potions, but that isn't enough," she said, and I couldn't help but get worried.

I didn't trust this Eliot guy. Frankly, I didn't trust anyone here except Zena. If that bastard, Vladimir ever discovers both our unexpected presence in the Oasis, things would become worse than it already was, for us and Sheila. Before that happened, I had to get to Sheila and that i***t had to wake up from whatever slumber he was in. It's been seven weeks already, and I was running out of time and patience.

"Don't worry, Kai. We can trust Elliot. This will work, and you'll see your friend will regain consciousness soon," Her hands found my neck. I breathed in deeply.

Zena was a witch and if it wasn't for the f*****g rune on her wrist, she would have been able to use her magic. She was taken by the Dark Circle a few years ago, after her coven was attacked and it was only last week she became a member of Nikolai's coven. That was a good thing.

Nikolai was the only warlock in Oasis that could undo the magic of the pyramid restricting the prisoners. Being part of the coven witches, Zena would finally be able to get rid of the pyramid on her wrist and gain access to the Fortress where my sister was. The Fortress was completely off-limits to everyone. Only members of the Dark Circle and Nikolai coven witches had access to the Fortress. I had tried several times to get in, but it was impossible without getting caught.

I rubbed my face roughly with my palm when the door opened and Elliot walked out.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.

"How's he?" I moved closer to him.

"Still the same. I tried to break past the spell keeping him in that state, but I couldn't. I've tried everything, but it's not working. Whatever witch placed that spell on him is powerful. I can feel it through the magic itself," he sighed. "I'm sorry, Zena, I can't help with this. Only the casting witch who placed the spell on him can undo it," he sounded and I groaned.

"That's not possible," I said. I haven't been able to get to Sheila, let alone bring her here.

"We have her blood, Elliot," Zena informed, showing him the leaf. "I know it's not much, but we could give it a try. Please help us."

Elliot's gaze went from Zena to the leaf. "We could try," He took the leaf and went back to the room. Zena and I followed him, stopping at the wooden bed.

My eyes fell on the still body on the bed. He was exactly as I left him a few days ago. Elliot positioned next to him, using his magic, he extracted Sheila's blood and placed it in a container.

"I'll begin now. I hope this works," he said, and I hoped too.

My hazel gaze moved to the scar that was in his chest from where Nikolai's sword had pierced his heart. His wounds had healed up, already, but he just wasn't regaining consciousness.

I placed a hand on his cold body. "You have to wake up, Killian. Sheila badly needs you," I whispered to him, moving to the door.

Whatever Elliot was about to do, I badly hoped it would work. As much as I hated to admit it, I needed Killian as well. If Vladimir had done something to my sister, Killian was the best chance I had to save her.

It was more of a shock to me when I landed abruptly in Oasis to find Killian's body next to me. I didn't know how that had happened. Maybe I had unknowingly pulled him through the portal, or the force had blown him through the portal. I didn't know. But what I did know was that Killian was one hell of a lucky bastard.

We all witnessed his death. I saw him dead in my sister's arms right before she lost control and her magic took over. I'm guessing that was what happened and I bet Sheila didn't even know what she had done, just like the night of her awakening. But Killian wasn't dead.

Whatever Sheila had done had preserved him all this time, and sent him into a deep, endless slumber instead. Killian has been unconscious for weeks, and every attempt Zena had made to break Sheila's spell on him has been futile. This was our last chance. I shut the door, leaving Zena and Elliot with Killian. I crumbled on the floor, having my back against the wooden wall. "Oh, goddess, please fix him."
