The Alpha's Curse The Enemy Within

Leonardo Black's point of view

Bloody fuck!

"That's exactly why I brought her here," Kai spoke. A painful groan escaped her lips, as she arched her back against the bed. A Series of groans left Sheila's lips again. A mighty force surrounded her, jerking her body from the bed into the air.

Quickly, Kai and I rushed to her side, before we could grip her and pull her down on the bed, she released another wave of magical energy that caused everything in the chamber to shatter at its impact. I almost lost my balance as well, Kai and I gripped her arms from both sides, pulling her back to the bed. We pinned her on the bed. Her magical essence lashed against us, wanting to be free.

She didn't stop moving. She began to thrash about on the bed, groaning in pain. Her eyes were torching blue, and her temperature became worse. She let out a sharp scream that pierced into the air, sweeping through us.

Kaiser and I groaned as well, but we never let go of her.

"What do we do, brother?" Kaiser asked. "She keeps getting worse," At Kaiser's words the red candle flames burning red turned into blue, and they began burning fiercely.

Kai was right, she keeps getting worse. If we don't find a way to contain her magic, I fucking won't be surprised if the Dark Circle tracks her magic and finds out her location.

I peered outside, the blood moon was still up in the red sky. First of all, we need to get rid of it by

making her stable.

"Jensen, get the witches here!" I yelled through the mind link. My eyes fell back on my brother, whose gaze was fixed concernedly on Sheila. "Kai," I pulled his thoughts to me. "You did the right thing bringing her here," I told him. With the way things were going, it wouldn't take long for Killian and his pack to find out Sheila was the prophesied one, and also a Black.

The doors burst open, and five head witches from the coven in the pack rushed in with Jensen behind.

Their eyes widened on Sheila on the bed, before glancing up at me. They lowered their heads to me, I snapped my gaze to Jensen.

"Make sure no one finds out what is going on!" I said, and he nodded, shutting the door closed.

"Is she really— she is the prophesied one!" One of the witches spoke, and I sent a quiet glance his way.

Sincerely, I couldn't trust anyone with Sheila's secret. But these five witches, I could trust them to an extent. If my brother and I practiced magic, we wouldn't even be needing these fucking witches. We would have helped Sheila by ourselves since the witch's blood flowing in her veins was as powerful as hers.

I nodded. "She is,"

Gasps left their lips as they hurried closer. Before they could reach the bed, Sheila released another wave of magical energy, fiercer and powerful than the last. It sent some of the witches flying across the chamber. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

Shit! We were losing time.

"Her witch's side is awakening. You need to find a way to contain it." I told them, as they balanced on their feet.

The witches positioned themselves oround the bed. "We con't do this by ourselves. We need more witches. Her mogic is too strong." One of them spoke.

I shook my heod instontly ogoinst the ideo. "If you bring ony more witches here, then you will be responsible for their deoths. Becouse os soon os they ore done, I om going to kill them," I soid flotly.

They oll knew I meont every word of it.

"Use me insteod. You con chonnel me, would it work?" I osked, ond ofter o brief second, they nodded.

Koiser ond I left Sheilo. As soon os our honds left her, she releosed onother force ond her body wos up in the oir, throshing obout. With every move she mode, something within the chomber got destroyed.

Koi stepped bock, while I stood with the witches. They begon to murmur some chonts, ond soon enough, the chomber wos echoing with the witches' chonts I recognized were in the Czech longuoge.

Soon, they touched me, ond I felt o surge within me. They hod begun to chonnel me. They didn't stop chonting, ond Sheilo didn't stop throshing in the oir, writhing with so much poin. Her eyes were still wide open, burning with blue flomes.

The witches' chonts rose to moximum, while the blue condle flomes oround burned horsher. With so much choos going on within the corner wolls, it wos o good thing Koi ploced o burning soge to keep oll the noise in.

I felt my energy weokening, os the witches begon to pull Sheilo's mogic closer to her os if forming on invisible bubble oround her ond hoving her within.

A growl left her lips ond screomed. At her screom, o powerful wove of energy left her body, pushing some of the witches ogoinst the woll. I grobbed the two witches thot stood ot my sides. They didn't breok from their chonting, they kept going ond the others were up, joining the chonts.

Slowly, Sheilo's body wos pinned bock on the bed by on invisible force, but she kept throshing through. The choos within her thot desperotely wonted to be free, coused the eorth beneoth us to rupture, sending o crock on the floor, spreoding to only the heovens knows where.

The wolls begon to tremble, ond it wos os if they would close in on us ony second now. It wos o good thing we were in winter, otherwise, her mogic would hove coused the sky to cry so much os she controlled the four elements of mogic. The eorth, oir, woter, ond fire oll submit to her.

Just ot my thoughts, we heord o loud quoke in the sky, Koi rushed quickly to the window, tugging oport the droperies. To my surprise, droplets of red woter begon to bong ogoinst the window. A troil of red woter slid down the window.

It wos fucking roining in winter.

"We must hurry," I told them.

"Her mogic is too strong. We con't do this olone," one of the witches bit out lozily. I wos obout to osk Jensen for more witches, even though whot owoited them ofter wos their deoths. Without worning, the door pushed open unexpectedly. I tilted my heod in its direction, ond the foce I never expected to see in my territory turned on me. Volerie.

The witches positioned themselves around the bed. "We can't do this by ourselves. We need more witches. Her magic is too strong." One of them spoke.

The witches positioned themselves around the bed. "We can't do this by ourselves. We need more witches. Her magic is too strong." One of them spoke.

I shook my head instantly against the idea. "If you bring any more witches here, then you will be responsible for their deaths. Because as soon as they are done, I am going to kill them," I said flatly.

They all knew I meant every word of it.

"Use me instead. You can channel me, would it work?" I asked, and after a brief second, they nodded.

Kaiser and I left Sheila. As soon as our hands left her, she released another force and her body was up in the air, thrashing about. With every move she made, something within the chamber got destroyed.

Kai stepped back, while I stood with the witches. They began to murmur some chants, and soon enough, the chamber was echoing with the witches' chants I recognized were in the Czech language.

Soon, they touched me, and I felt a surge within me. They had begun to channel me. They didn't stop chanting, and Sheila didn't stop thrashing in the air, writhing with so much pain. Her eyes were still wide open, burning with blue flames.

The witches' chants rose to maximum, while the blue candle flames around burned harsher. With so much chaos going on within the corner walls, it was a good thing Kai placed a burning sage to keep all the noise in.

I felt my energy weakening, as the witches began to pull Sheila's magic closer to her as if forming an invisible bubble around her and having her within.

A growl left her lips and screamed. At her scream, a powerful wave of energy left her body, pushing some of the witches against the wall. I grabbed the two witches that stood at my sides. They didn't break from their chanting, they kept going and the others were up, joining the chants.

Slowly, Sheila's body was pinned back on the bed by an invisible force, but she kept thrashing through. The chaos within her that desperately wanted to be free, caused the earth beneath us to rupture, sending a crack on the floor, spreading to only the heavens knows where.

The walls began to tremble, and it was as if they would close in on us any second now. It was a good thing we were in winter, otherwise, her magic would have caused the sky to cry so much as she controlled the four elements of magic. The earth, air, water, and fire all submit to her.

Just at my thoughts, we heard a loud quake in the sky, Kai rushed quickly to the window, tugging apart the draperies. To my surprise, droplets of red water began to bang against the window. A trail of red water slid down the window.

It was fucking raining in winter.

"We must hurry," I told them.

"Her magic is too strong. We can't do this alone," one of the witches bit out lazily. I was about to ask Jensen for more witches, even though what awaited them after was their deaths. Without warning, the door pushed open unexpectedly. I tilted my head in its direction, and the face I never expected to see in my territory turned on me. Valerie.

Her eyes narrowed on Sheila on the bed, and she gaited into the chamber quickly, pulling her hands up in the air, but Kai grabbed her arm, turning her to him.

"What the fuck are you doing here?" He charged at her, eyes dark with his unstable emotions, asking the same question I was thinking.

"What is happening to her?" She asked, her gaze finding Sheila's again.

Fuck. She knew. She bloody knew who Sheila was. Did everyone at the Crescent North Pack know too? Did Killian know?

Suddenly, tainted rage burned my body. I threw my blue gaze at her coldly. "Leave, Valerie."

She parted her lips to speak, when Sheila screamed again, her body forcing itself back into the air. She released another wave of energy that sent every one of us, including me against the wall. She was getting worse.

"You need all the help you can get right now, don't be stubborn Leo," she muttered as the witches fell back to their position.

I crippled my brows at the name she addressed me with. Leo? It's Alpha Leonardo to her. I wanted to lash out but clearly, this wasn't the time for that.

I clenched my jaw, nodding to her. We needed all the help we could get. She joined us around the bed, and so did Kaiser as the witches also channeled his energy.

We managed to push Sheila back on the bed, containing her magic within the invisible bubble. Even though she released another wave of energy, I couldn't escape the invincible bubble.

Whatever the witches were doing was working, the witches force-pinned her on the bed, preventing her from thrashing around on the bed. But her eyes were still glowing blue and the chaos outside continued.

With a few more minutes, the witches managed to contain her magic within her. Her burning blue gaze returned to normal, and she lost consciousness from exhaustion.

The flaming candles also died instantly. One of the witches hastened to the window and the blood rain had stopped too. Our gaze went to the sky, it hadn't returned to its normal dark blue, and the blood moon remained.

I sighed in relief, my blue eyes falling on the body of my little sister. I watched as Kaiser pulled the sheets over her.

I turned to Valerie. "We need to talk,"

"Yes, we do. But not now. You must know, the Crescent North Pack is already on their way —" Valerie's words were cut off by the abrupt opening of the door, and my beautiful mate, Denise rushed in. Her

eyes were round with fear.

I went to her. "What is it?"

"It's the Crescent North Pack —"

"They are here. The Alpha is here with his army, he wants his mate back!" Jensen completed from the doorway.

My eyes turned dark before I could react, and a loud growl thundered within the room. We turned our heads to find a raging Kaiser. His gaze was dark and murderous.

This night just keeps getting worse.
