Chapitre 5 Forced Choice!

Amadora (pov)

I am relieved that my day ends it was hell. This murder, the questioning gaze of my coworkers this afternoon after seeing me talking to Alexander, this impossible idea that I would be a half werewolf in addition to being a descendant of the Thorgard as it was all too much for me today 'hui. I guess that the fact that I spent the night reading these same stories and legends cannot be coincidence. Lack of sleep must have played on my perception making me imagine stupid things. I think the best thing for me is to go to bed immediately after supper.

I arrived at the house in less than 10min, not controlling myself, I turned to the place where was hiding Alexander last night. Part of me hoped to see him come out of his hiding place to come and see me while the other didn't want to know anything more about this man. Strangely, my mother was not at the door.

- Mom? I said as I entered the house. where are you?

- Here she said to me, my mother's trembling voice seemed to come from the kitchen.

- What's going on, why are you so white? you would think you saw a ghost!

She was silent for a moment then said to me:

- Your father! Your father came here this afternoon! she said with anguish.

- What was he doing here? he abandoned you when I was a baby! I don't call that a father.

- Not him, my darling, she said shedding a tear, I'm talking about your real father, he came to tell me that he is coming to claim his due, as he had told me more than 18 years ago.

18 years earlier ...

- Beautiful, in a few years, I will come and harvest the fruit that I have sown in you today. If you refuse to give it to me on the precise day and hour that I would have given you a few months before the date, you will die as well as the people you love, that man told her that day!

- he told me that he will come to claim you on the day of your birth at the exact time you were born. So, December 9th at exactly 6:09 p.m. or else he'll kill us both.

- Mom, don't worry about that, nothing can happen to us, do you forget that I work for the police? If I ask you will be protected 24/24.

I tried not to show her the slightest concern. With a confident tone I answer her.

- Anyway we have almost 4 months left before he comes here, We have, my colleagues and I, all the time we need to prepare, he won't see it coming.

- I'm still worried sweetie.

- I know but we must not, let's eat and then take a good hot bath I'm going to take my little walk and go to bed early to be in good shape tomorrow and plan all this with my colleagues.

Without really realizing it, I found myself next to the stream where Alexander had given me an appointment. I thought about going back but a small voice inside me begged me to stay. I looked around to see if he was there, nothing. I decided to take off my shoes to sit on one of the big rocks and let my feet soak in the current. There was a perfect rock for that it was shaped like an old armchair. I used my hooded jacket as an ear and let myself be lulled by the sound of the water. All the pressure of the day was as if drained from my body by the current of water, I was soothed.

Alexander (pov)

Either you mark her tonight or otherwise I'll do it myself! these words circled in my head.

Man don't let that happen we can't lose mate let alone leave it to this hard and heartless man. Mate is way too sweet for that, everything we love about her will disappear! no this must not happen you must convince mate I beg you!

I know it but I can't force her, without her wolf she won't know that we are meant for each other.

Mate is smarter than you might think. Trust her she will understand what you say to her. she had time to digest our last conversation and I would like to try something if you will allow me.

All right, anyway we have nothing more to lose, let's go to our meeting point, if she is there, we have a chance otherwise we will have to go and convince her at her place it will not be an easy win!

My heart started racing the closer I got to the stream the more I could smell this sweet smell. Miss Amadora was to be waiting for us at the stream, she forgives me I said to myself. It didn't take more than half a second to find her she was sleeping peacefully on a rock with her feet in the water. She sleeps so soundly that she didn't even realize I was sitting behind her. I felt her head try to dig into my chest and make me shiver.

- Hmmm Mate I'm glad to know you here! she whispered in her sleep

- What? I answer her, not sure if she was really sleeping.

- She's asleep, please don't wake her up, otherwise we won't be able to discuss things together! she whispered again

- Who's talking? am I a little confused right now?

- I'm Freya, Amadora's wolf! Nice to meet you Mate.

- How can you already be there? she is not yet 18! I answer her with even more questions than answers.

- Amadora as you have surely understood is very different from other werewolves, she has blood from another world. The Thorgard are much more powerful than the Counts and legend suggests. The only problem is that for her power to serve the good she has to be with her real Mate.

- I know my father told me about it a few hours ago.

- I'm going to ask you to do a few things for us without Amadora knowing. You have to call the whole pack here; they'll have to stay quiet for my plan to work. I will pronounce the words in her place, then you will have to mark us without waiting.

- But Miss Amadora? how is she going to deal with this marked fact without knowing what is going on? I could lose her for good I can't do that.

- Mate, she said with a whimper, you have to do it if you don't want to lose us. Do not worry about her once marked I could communicate with her; I will explain everything to her and she will feel our connection.

'' I ORDER ALL THE MEUTE TO COME TO THE STREAM WITHOUT EXCEPTION!!! YOU HAVE 10 MIN '' '' Beta Sacha find my father please and tell him to follow you I am with my Luna and she is ready for the ritual ''

Freya slowly took control of Amadora's body, once her eyes turned bluish white like freshly fallen snow. She stood up slowly and addressed the entire pack, promising them to be loyal to the pack, to always be there to protect them from all danger and making their Alpha stronger. She then turned to me, instantly my eyes turned dark black. The contrast between our eyes was even more visible as she moved to my side. She took my hand with firm gentleness while swearing loyalty and love to me for eternity she will whisper to me to be sure that no one hears '' Once I have reached my maturity you can also have full control over this body''

- It's time Alexander called out his father. The moon is full which will further strengthen your unique bond.

I turned to Freya with a worried look.

- Are you sure Amadora will understand why we had to act this way and not reject us?

- I promise you now go ahead when my eyes have returned to their original color you will know that our eternal bond has been created. Once taken back a few steps it may be in a state of shock and be aggressive, it will not be against you, such a forced bond is very painful for a pure werewolf so on a body half wolf imagined.

- Okay!

I kissed her neck where my mark will be in a few seconds. Then suddenly I sank my teeth deep and held that hold until her eyes returned to their normal color.

His body began to convulse as I pulled back.

- Miss Amadora! are you okay? please answer me!

Amadora (pov)

Everything passed before me as if I was living a waking dream, I heard my voice swearing loyalty to a wolf pack and to Alexander.

What is going on why I can't wake up?

When Alexander bit me, I felt an almost intolerable pain as well as the feeling of being burnt alive. I wanted to scream however the pain disappeared as quickly as it had appeared.

At first, I heard a very weak voice then growing louder and louder inside me. I tried asking who was speaking but no sound came out of my mouth I was silent. When suddenly this voice said to me:

Hello Amadora, I am Freya, don't be afraid, I know that you are no longer in control of your body at the moment, this is normal it is evolving. In a few moments everything will be back. I know that everything that is going on right now seems a lot to accept, but I am your inner wolf I am a part of your true self. You are a werewolf, but you are not like the others you are powerful and you can use magic. Everything Alexander told you earlier today is correct. You are the direct daughter of Lycaon and your mother is the last descendant of the Thorgards if you never have children that would mean that this line endowed with magic and exceptional strength will disappear the day of your death. You will have to assimilate a lot of things but I will be with you every step of the way. The moment you can open your eyes, I want you to be 100% open, you are going to feel things that you will not be able to understand right away because you were not born in a pack. You are going to have to accept and let go of all the feelings that you will have otherwise they will destroy you over time. You should know that werewolves have predestined soul mates that they only discover when they are mature and that their wolf surface only knows who that person is. He will call you his Mate, this man you already know him, you know it, you felt it without even knowing it. Your life is changing today but that doesn't mean you have to give up the old one. You won't be forced into anything else. I never would have done what I did if I didn't believe beyond a doubt that it was the best thing to do. We couldn't let Lycaon mark us because he would have destroyed all the good in us and deprived us of the real boundless happiness of being with our real Mate. Now Amadora opens your eyes slowly I'm going to step back and let you have your control again but if you feel like you need me say my name and I'll be there right second.

I had to take at least 5 deep breaths to have the courage to open my eyes. When I did, I looked around, there was about fifty people in front of me some in their human form and others in wolf form, all staring at me waiting for me to say something but what?

When my eyes met Alexander's, my heart pounded. Freya was right I already know who my Mate is, it's him.

- Mate! I said to him, placing a soft kiss on his cheek.
