Celia Vargas pov
I was walking into the deep forest, it was super dark, I could hear owl hooting. How come I always come to the same forest? Wait, I am in a nightmare. I cannot be in a forest because Ethan captured me, which means I am dreaming. I never dreamt knowing that I am dreaming, if that makes any sense. But how? Maybe my wolf is trying to say something. Any plan to get out of here? Or maybe I just lost my mind. Oh no, it's possible that it's a trap. My guess is that it's not a dream.
"You are right, you are not dreaming Celia" I heard a deep raspy voice. I turn around and saw the silhouette of a man, standing in the dark behind the trees. His eyes were glowing red. Alpha? It was not Theodore, it's someone else. I stepped back, should I be scared? The man slowly step forward. I could now see his face. The man looked in his forties, he was very peculiar, the man had three eyes. A shiver ran down my spine. The man was very muscular and he was dressed like a normal person. But to my surprise, he had a tail. The tail didn't look like Wolf's tail it was more of a devil's tail. What is this creature? He also had a real snake wrapped around his neck. The man walked closer to me, I stepped back. Now I could see a tattoo on his arm. It was a red dagger with an eye in between. If this is not a dream then where the hell am I?
"You are not dreaming but you are not awake either. Είναι ένα φανταστικό μέρος που δημιουργήθηκε από το μυαλό σας" said the man. I am not awake? Wait, I know the language!
"You said, it's an imaginary place created by your mind" I said to the man, he had a serious expression. It's Greek language, But how did I know Greek? I have never learnt Greek.
"But I am not imaginary, it hurts to see you in pain, you are not weak you just don't know the right path but I can help you" said the man. What? I don't even know him. If I have created this place then why can't I just leave it? I want to be awake.
"I don't need your help" I said. The man laughed.
"You know they are going to kill you and whoever you think, is going to save you, will share the same fate with you, I am talking about your mate" said the man. How did he know about Theodore? Who is he? But he is right. The hunters are going to kill me, including Theo. I don't want anyone to die because of me.
"Save your friends and yourself. Help me and I'll help you to get out of here" said the man. What should I do? He extended his hand forward. I cannot make a deal without knowing what he wants. I need to know my part.
"What I have to do?" I asked. I was actually scared but I acted to be tough. The man doesn't have any expression, it's like he is made of stone or something.
"It's simple, just let me out of here" said the man. I was confused.
"How? By doing some magic?" I asked, raising an eyebrow.
"By doing a ritual and for that you need to find a book but you cannot tell about this to anyone not even your mate" said the man. Okay, a ritual? Seriously! It's not easy or simple and I am very bad at keeping secrets.
"What book? And by the way, Theodore, my mate can read my thoughts" I said. I don't even know how to block Theo from my mind and nobody wants to teach me that trick.
"If you want to block him from your mind, you just have to concentrate on the hatred part, just think how much you hate him" said the man. But I don't hate him, I love him. That's not gonna work, I am sure.
"I don't hate him, I cannot do that" I said. Why me? Is it because I am cursed? I don't even know this man.
"Everyone hate something or someone, even the purest and kindest heart has the evil desires. Love doesn't last forever, the fire always burns out" said the man. Suddenly his hand was on fire and he extinguish it, just by blowing at it with his mouth. Fascinating! I would love to learn that.
"Okay then how would I get the book?" I said. Is it some kind of ancient book? Maybe it's a magical book.
"Find Kate Donovan, but don't trust her, she can lead you in the wrong direction. If you want to save your friends don't listen to anyone except me. When you see the book you'll know" said the man. Wait, I know Kate. She is my mother's friend but we don't talk to her anymore. It's been long time since we last met. At that time, I was a ten year old kid. I don't even remember her face. But what does she have to do with any of this? I guess I have to find out myself.
"Why should I trust you?" I asked. The man chuckled. I am not going to trust anyone just because we have mutuals.
"What if I told you, that I can cure your lycanthropy? Would you still not trust me?" Said the man whispering to my ears. He can cure me? I can be a normal teenager again.
"But why are you helping me?" I asked with a serious look.
"Because you are helpless and you remind me of someone, moreover you are helping me in return, to find the book" said the man with a smirk. I am helpless but if he surely can cure my lycanthropy, I guess it worth it to find a stupid book.
"After finding the book?" I asked. I cannot do any ritual myself.
"Take help of your trusty witch Zakira, you know what you have to do, don't act to be foolish" said the man. How did he know them? He knows everything. The man laughed and walked away from me.
"Wait! you said you'll help me" I said, loudly. His laugh echoed through my ear.
"I already did, you just have to wake yourself up, sweetheart" said the man and then fades away. What? But how? Okay, wake up Celia, wake up! You have to wake up. I slap myself, come on. For god sake, I cannot be in here forever. Wake up Celia!
I quickly open my eyes. Everything looked distorted and hazy. I felt every bone in my body, started to break. Pain flow through my body. What is happening? I tried to control the wolf from coming out and prevent the shift. But I failed to stop the unstoppable rage, it's like I have to transform. First the spine break and change its structure, followed by the arms and legs twisting in inverse ways and then the furs appeared on my body. I felt fangs and claws protruding out. Am I transforming? I could feel my eye colour changed, I was going through immense pain. The chains wrapped around me, were slowly started to break. The wolf is taking over me, it's out of my control now. I stare at the confused looking Ethan, for the first time I saw fear in his eyes.
"How did you trigger your wolf?" That was his last question before I felt his flesh between my sharp teeth.
