Control

---Drake---

I found her sleeping in the corner of the room on the floor. I sighed and walk to her. She is fully dressed and looked so tired. I carried her to the bed and I went downstairs for lunch.

Minerva the Enchantress is with Ludwig. They are talking about something. I nod at her and she nods back.

'The Queen and the King will arrive this evening together with Prince Timothy.' Minerva said.

'That's good.' I just said.

Prince Timothy is their firstborn and might be the next King.

'May I see your mate?' she asked. I stopped for a while and glanced at Ludwig. 'I won't bite her.' I nod.

I lead her to our room while Ludwig went to the kitchen. She's still sleeping.

'Yeah, she got a small amount of black magic around.' She said. She gently pulled my mate's hand. 'I can feel my Epi's spell on her. That's why she can still control herself from killing you because my daughter had put a spell on her for her to recognize you.'

'Is it the girl name Eponine?' I asked her. She looked at me and stopped.

'That's my daughter. What do you know?' she asked.

'I mark her and saw her memories. The girl is crying and keep—apologizing that she is not able to help my mate while—while Damon is raping her.' I suddenly clench my fist and it is flashing back in my mind. 'She said that Damon is her mate.'

'He's not her mate!' Minerva burst. I stopped on her sudden burst. 'I now understand why they kidnapped my daughter. He made her believe that she is his mate through the hypnotism of black magic. Someone had bounded her soul to Damon for them to get her.'

'It means we are really in great danger?' I asked her. Then the story of Ludwig pops into my head.

'Yes. I will try contacting my daughter again. She said that she will find a way to escape. But if only your mate can help us. Erin becomes unstable when we are asking about the Red Moon Pack.'

'I think we need a psychologist to help them. It might also help her.'

'You are right.' She said and looks very worried.

We went downstairs and talk a lot about the girls in the laboratory. I had also told her about the next visit of Red Moon Pack just to get their Alpha. She smirked about it and told me that she already had a plan for it. She is something. How can she come up with plans so quickly? Or she had already predicted what other things will happen.

I cook lunch for my mate. Alpha Jake told me that he needed to go back to his town. I told him that he can't take his daughter back to the pack in her condition. She needs to be treated here with her mate and with the enchantresses and enchanters which he agreed with. Ludwig had gone back to his Kingdom which is somewhere located in the Blue Moon Kingdom. He has his own Kingdom too, somewhere in the forest trees.

'How's my sister?' Laurence asked eyeing the lunch that I am serving in the tray.

'So far so good.' I told him. 'She's getting better... and...' wild hot. I was about to say those two words.

'And?' he asked intrigued. I cock my head. 'Her scent is all over you. You have sex with her?!' he scowled at me. I closed my eyes hard. 'How dare you, Dude!' he grabbed my collar. 'She's not stable!'

'Why are you so furious? Our mating makes her better.' I told him to calm him. He pulls his hand from my collar and folds his arm over his chest. 'She's better than yesterday. And if I was the reason behind it, I won't let any chance to escape for her to be cured.'

'Okay, if that's what it makes. But I swear to you dude, if something really bad happens to my sister, I will never talk to you ever again. You are now responsible for her. So don't break her heart!' then he walks out. Wow, that was a little intimidating. I never expect it from him.

When I got to the bedroom I saw her standing, facing the whole mirror. She was staring at herself for a while until she had noticed my presence. I settled the diner cart beside the round table and then I started settling the table.

'How's your sleep?' I asked her.

'Better now.' She said softly. I smiled at her and I walk towards her.

'Don't ever sleep on the floor.' I whispered to her and kissed her lips.

We ate lunch together. It was very unusual that she's too quiet. I always do the talking. I will ask her something and she will just answer it in a very simple way and a monotonous way. I wanted to know what she's thinking so we can be open to each other. I had marked her yet our mind link didn't work. Someone or something is blocking our mind link.

I finish my food while she is still eating. I stare at her, studying every part of her face, neck, hair... there are lots of changes in her. Instead of being a grown-up woman, she looked intelligent and beautiful. Her eyes are the same that I always admire. Those lips get bigger and more attractive.

'What do you want to do today?' I asked her. She gazed at me.

'What are the options?' she asked. I cock my head on the left and smile playfully.

'What do you suggest?' I asked back.

'Killing you.' she said it bluntly and her eyes changed into red. That was fast. She gripped the fork that she's holding. It started shaking like she is controlling it. 'I want you to get out in front of me as fast as you can.' She murmurs.

I stood in a cool manner. I walk closer to her and the fork that she is holding automatically stabbed me, but I had caught her wrist quickly because I had been predicted it. I quickly grabbed her other hand. She fights me and tried to resist my grip.

'Lavi, calm down.' I said it softly. 'Lavi, look at me.' I whispered. She looked into my eyes and her eyes started turning to blue. 'I love you.' I said it with all my heart and from the bottom of my hypothalamus.

Her hand relaxed and she had dropped the fork. I took her both hands to my lips and locked my eyes on her. She gapes then I gave her a genuine smile. I put one of her palms to my cheek and tilt my head to the left. I have to do this for her to recognize me as her mate. I have to show her and make her feel that I was hers and she was mine.

'How is it?' I asked her. 'Does that make you feel better?' She held both of my cheek and tears started forming in her eyes.

'Why do I keep forgetting about you?' she asked me. I wiped the tears that rolled down to her cheeks. 'I suddenly forget who you are and what you are to me. But I have to stop myself from killing you because my half will die too.' I wiped another tear.

Grief is all I feel by just seeing her suffer and stopping herself from killing me. I feel the torture that she felt, but she is suffering that I am. How can I stop it? I wanted to wish to stop it now but that can't do. What should I do to help my mate? I wanted to kill the bastard who did this to her. I wanted to find the cure or to know what the cure is.

'You are my soul mate that the Goddess gave to me. I am your half and you are mine. Laura, please don't give up so easily because I am not going to give up on you no matter what happens. You had been parted from me for a very long time and now, I can't bear of losing you, again.'

'I was apart from you in a very long time?' she asked.

'Yes, my Lavi.' I kissed her head. 'You are my precious.' I brush my knuckles on her cheek.

I bring my mate to the garden so we could talk and have a picnic. But as I am expecting, she's not talking. I removed my shirt and pants then I shifted into my wolf form. This might help. Our wolves understand each other. She knelt in front of me and caressed my face. I move my nose closer to hers. I saw a glimpse of a smile on her lips.

I love you... I said it through the mind link. I just try if maybe it will work.

I love you too... it was her response. She stood and pulls her dress and dropped it on the ground. She shifted into her wolf form.
