18 CIRCE STRIKES

AXEL'S POV..........

'(DON'T TELL ME A CRAZY BITCH IS IN THIS HOUSE,WHO IS CLEARLY YOUR ENEMY AND YOU ARE COMFORTABLE WITH IT)?'.

'And what makes you think that am comfortable with it Sabastien?, am thinking of a way to get rid of her without hurting Jude in the process".

Sabastien chuckled '(THINKING?....WE ARE BOTH AWARE OF THE FACT THAT YOU ARE INCAPABLE OF THINKING)'.

I frowned 'Ha...Ha....Ha, very funny'.

'(WELL IT IS, YOU ACT WITHOUT THINKING AXEL, IT'S NOT THAT YOU CAN'T THINK, YOU JUST FOOLISHLY CHOOSE NOT TO)'.

'You know what Sabastien..... I think from now on, I'll ignore whatever you say to me'.

'(YOU WOULDN'T DARE)'.

'Yes I would, you have never said anything nice to me since the day I met you'.

'(THAT'S BECAUSE YOU HAVE NEVER DONE ANYTHING TO MERIT IT, YOU ARE TOO STUPID FOR MY LIKING)'.

'There you go again Sabastien'.

'(LOOK AXEL, I DON'T FIND PLEASURE IN RAINING ABUSES ON YOU, I ONLY DO THAT TO MAKE YOU REALIZE THE MISTAKES YOU ARE TOO PROUD TO ADMIT)'.

'I don't make mistakes Sabastien'.

'(THAT...IS EXACTLY WHAT AM TALKING ABOUT....SO TELL ME, WHY I WON'T INSULT YOU?. YOU KNOW, SOMETIMES I CAN'T HELP BUT WONDER WHY OUT OF ALL THE ALPHA'S IN THIS SUPERNATURAL WORLD, YOU HAD TO BE THE ONE I WAS ASSIGNED TO)'.

'And I also don't know why out of all the millions of spirit wolf, I had to be stuck with you'.

'(THAT'S BECAUSE...AM AWESOME)'

'No...., you are the direct opposite of that'.

'(YOU ARE OF YOUR OWN OPINION, BECAUSE I CAN'T BE ARGUING WITH SOMEONE LIKE YOU)'.

"And it's pointless arguing with you Sabastien'.

I headed downstairs only to see the others there. Cary and Jude were playing chess and Circe's head was rested on Jude's shoulder.

'(THAT WITCH,JUST LOOK AT THE WAY SHE'S ACTING LIKE SHE BELONGS HERE)'.

Sue and Sia were discussing and having a drink in the bar section while Hunter and Alia were sitted on the couch arguing over something I was sure was irrelevant. I walked up to them and sat on the couch beside them.

Hunter stopped arguing with Alia and faced me "Hear me out Axel, I said THE CONJURING is the scariest movie but Alia said A QUIET PLACE is worse,so what do you think?".

"The Conjuring is far more scarier" I said without even needing to ponder over it.

Alia pouted "Of course you would support him".

"No Alia........he genuinely meant it, Axel and I happen to like almost the same thing".

She rolled her eyes "Yeah right" and they started bickering again. Just then Julia walked downstairs to meet us "I need to talk to the three of you".

I nodded "Okay" but then I noticed she was still standing there "Wait...now?".

"Yes now, come with me".

She took us to the training room far from the ears of others then she frowned and folded her arms "Seems like am the only one bothered with the fact that Circe is still in this house".

Alia shook her head "We are all bothered Julia".

"Okay then, why haven't you guys come up with a solution?".

"Because there is no solution" Hunter quickly answered "We can't hurt her because we will only be hurting Jude and we can't throw her out of the house cause it will also hurt Jude,so tell me Julia....do you have a better plan?".

"No... but that's why the why the four of us are here,to think of a plan".

I signed "Look Julia,we are all bothered about Jude but I don't think we should do anything.....I mean she has not tried to hurt any of us but if we try something and our plan fails and she finds out, then she will definitely hurt one of us".

'(YOU ARE SUCH A COWARD)'

'Am not a coward Sabastien, am only looking out for my pack mates'.

Jude frowned "You don't understand anything Axel............

"SUE.....!" We heard Sia suddenly scream from the main room. We there only to see everyone hovering around Sue whose head was on the bar table.

"What happened?".

Tears gathered in Sia's eyes as she faced me and shook her head "I....I...I don't know....we...we were just discussing when she suddenly fell face to the table".

Julia suddenly slumped but I caught her before she hit the ground "Julia....Julia what's wrong" I panicked cupping her face in my hands but she did not reply,her eyes were still shut tightly. I carried her to lay on the couch and Cary did the same with Sue.

'(WHAT'S UP WITH THEM?)'.

'If I knew,then would I be so worried?' I snapped.

'(HEY...HEY....,DON'T POUR YOUR FRUSTRATION ON ME GRUMPY)'.

Alia knelt in front of them "Maybe I can figure out what is wrong with them and help them".

She put her arms on them but then she collapsed. Hunter rushed to her and placed her on the couch while Sia rushed to get a glass of water, it was sprinkled on her face but she didn't even blink.

"What's happening to them?" Hunter asked,holding Alia's hands in his.

I shook my head "I....I don't know".

Cary rubbed his temples "All this is giving me a headache".

"Dude....your nose is bleeding" Jude pointed out to Cary.

Cary touched his nose and stared at the reddish liquid on his fingers "Holy shit!,I'll go get a tissue".

He started going but then his eyes rolled up his head and he collapsed.

Jude and Hunter rushed to help him to lay on the couch.

"I'll go get the supernatural doctor" Jude said and left.

'(THAT EVIL WITCH,AM HUNDRED PERCENT SURE THAT SHE IS RESPONSIBLE FOR WHAT IS HAPPENING TO THEM)'.

"What did you do to them?" Hunter glared at Circe.

Circe smirked "I don't know what you are talking about".

I rolled my eyes "Ohh please.....we know you did this to them and you're gonna fix it now okay?".

She frowned "Look, you guys have no prove that am the one responsible for all that...so stop accusing me".

I faced Hunter "There is no need to argue with her,go get Selena, she can fix this".

Circe smirked "Ohh I wouldn't bother to do that if I were you, the moon goddess is unfortunately out of commission".

And that was it,I lost all my cool and in less than a second,I had her pinned to the wall,my hands on her neck "What did you do to her?".

She grinned "Nothing much.....she's just in the same condition as your lovely nightcrawler".

Sia raised her brows "What do you mean by that?".

"You see.... Julia,Sue and Alia's cases are like that of sleeping beauty but Cary and the Queen have less than an hour to live".

I tightened my grip on her neck "Rubbish........you are going to release them now".

"But I can't you see".

"What do you mean by you can't?" Hunter asked.

"The only way to release the spell is by killing me but.........if you kill me then Jude will die too. So tell me Alpha, what are you gonna do?..... Do you plan on choking me to death....cause if you are,then get ready to also lose your late mate's brother".

I released my grip on her neck and she smiled rubbing her neck "That's better".
