Malakai's Possession

Chapter Nine

For the next few days, or weeks, I knew it was going to be harder to do daily things, like write, cook, draw. Silver took twice as long to heal, even if you're a werewolf such as myself. It was going to be a hell of a time trying to do the simplest of things and I knew that. Of course I knew that. I had never been burned by silver until yesterday, but in my opinion, it hurt more the second day.

As surprising as it is, my seething burns were now inflamed and pulsing, as if they were set on fire which I guess, they could have been. If a wolf touches silver for long enough, it can ignite, due to some of the weird chemicals and genes in our bodies.

So for the time being, I withheld from trying to go train again, and I haven't stepped foot anywhere near the 'basement' again. I didn't exactly plan to unless the Alpha was true to his words. There wasn't honestly much for me to do right now, so I came up to a decision, I was going to take a nice, long bubble bath. It had been far too long since I actually, fully relaxed. Grabbing an extra set of clothes- them being a pair of black nike shorts, and a PINK hoodie, I went into the bathroom closing the door behind me.

A satisfying click echoed through the bathroom as I locked the door, before I went over to the shower-tub and twisted the faucet. Hot, steamy water started to swiftly pour into the porcelain tub below. As the tub filled, I scoured the bathroom until I was pleased to find a vanilla scented bubble bath. Pouring two capfuls of the delightfully scented white goop, I waited a few more minutes until the bath was both filled with bubbles and filled enough.

Shortly after that, I removed my previous clothes, and hesitantly began to peel off the gauze on my wounds. I knew that if I went into the bath with the gauze, it would eventually begin to stick, and become twenty times more painful to remove. Heading over to the steaming tub, I slowly lowered myself in, letting out a yelp as the hot water made my wounds burn eleven times more. Taking in a few deep breaths, my burns soon began to numb which began to make the pain dissipate.

Thankful for that, I let off a soft sigh.

As I was soaking, my whole body began to seize as a scene fell upon my eyes.

Fire. Fire was absolutely everywhere. Looking from a distance, I saw many wolves on a battleground, although I couldn't identify a single one. Scents were missing and the wolves themselves were blurred. Fire set upon houses, women and children wailing, babies crying and men grunting either in pain or anger.

I was amidst a battleground between two packs, and it seemed the one my inner soul was cheering for was in the midst of a win or a lose. Carcasses were lining the ground, and I couldn't find a single patch of clear snow beneath the blood shed. How ironic a huge fire in the late winter nights. That was another thing I noticed. The wails of the moon above the battle.

As if it was watching with distress.

This scene in front of me disgusted and terrified me. Looking down, I was wearing a white, loose dress. My burns were white scars, so this must be sometime in the future.

Was this a dream? A sign? I couldn't tell at this point.

My eyes darted everywhere and it wasn't till it happened that I noticed. A dark, large wolf stampeding towards me in a bloodthirsty rage.

And it was at that moment that I screamed.

Not only did I scream in whatever I saw, I screamed in the world of reality too. Nothing like this had ever happened to me before. I couldn't even tell what it was, or if I should alert anybody. Taking a look at my surrounding, I noticed that the bath water was a tone or two colder, and half the bubbles had already disappeared. How long was I out for?

With a pounding heart, I swiftly stepped out of my tub, not even bothering to drain it. The inner Luna in myself practically forced me to go to the alpha. Putting on my panties, sports bra and shorts, I hadn't even bothered to put on my hoodie- instead slipping on a loose t shirt. Completely forgetting the bandage my inflamed arm and hands, I ignored the pain it took the do these tasks before opening my door and heading to the place I knew my mate would be.

His office.

Hurrying through the halls, I left faint trail of water as I went before I managed to reach his office. My heart was still racing as I winced- turning the handle and stepping in.

Dark eyes met mine as I entered and his constantly grumpy face turned even moodier. "Do you not know how to knock, Erika?" He asked as if he were talking to a child. Rolling my eyes, he then noticed that I was wet, and my right hand was bleeding slightly.

"Those are supposed to be wrapped, Erika!" He tsk'ed, standing up to walk over to me. "I know they are but something happened.." I trailed off, diverting my eyes from the tall male standing a few feet away.

"What could have been so important that you risked infection?" He asked in a monotone voice.

"I don't know, I was bathing, relaxing and then suddenly I just- I don't even know. It was a scene displayed in my eyes. Two packs at war, but I couldn't tell who. The only thing I know was that the territory was familiar. It was a late winter night, and fire was set to houses. There was screaming, and-," I swallowed, "there was a lot of blood, carcasses. Just a full out war. I was standing from a distance and on the instance I was hoping for a pack to win, I don't know which or who. And then before I knew it, this huge wolf came to kill me and it was gone. I'm worried that somebody might attack either this pack, or mine.." I trailed off, taking in a deep breath as I finished speaking.

The look on the Alphas face was one of perplex. "Have you ever had one of these visions before?" He asked, his dark eyes boring into mine.

"Not that I can think of. Honestly this has never once happened the me before and it scared me so terrible that I screamed, both in the vision and in real life. I don't know how long I was in that vision for, but by the time I finally snapped out of it, the bath water was slightly chillier and the bubbles were half gone." I trailed off once more, confused with the whole thing, although I assumed he was just as confused as I was.

"I've heard of it once or twice before. One male and one female. They had visions of either the past or future. We're there any indications, Erika?" He asked seriously, and I pondered for a moment.

Oh wait- The scars!

"Yeah, but only a single one. My burns, were then pale scars. It had to have been the future." I whispered, glancing out the window.

Alpha shrugged before giving me a final reply.

"Marley and Kayden both had visions and neither of them happened. Not in our lifetime anyway. I'm sure it was just a hallucination, now please leave. I'm busy." He stated, before turning and heading back to his work.

Attitude swarmed into me but I barely convinced myself that he wasn't worth it myself, before turning and walking out as well.
