Becca's POV
"Alpha Lady Becca."
I woke up when I heard Beta Harsh calling me. The sun was already high, and I realized I had overslept. It was unusual for me to wake up this late. The clock on the wall showed 9 a.m. This was crazy. I was a spoiled child who often woke up before 6 a.m., but this was beyond that. Cheva didn't wake me up! Usually, my wolf would be the natural alarm to bring me back from my dreams.
I quickly got up from my bed and opened the door. Beta Harsh bowed his head in respect as he addressed me, "Alpha Lady Becca, Alpha Andrew wants to see you. He's waiting in the backyard."
I immediately felt refreshed at the news brought by Beta Harsh. I didn't waste any time, closing the door and preparing to use my powers to arrive at the backyard in an instant. However, to my surprise, I couldn't use my powers! Normally, all I needed was focus, and I could arrive within a split second. But now, I was still standing in front of my room, and what was even stranger, I felt incredibly weak.
"Alpha Lady Becca!"
Beta Harsh approached me again when my legs suddenly felt weak, and I almost fell to the floor.
"It's okay, just leave me. I lost control because I'm still drowsy." I stretched out my hand, signaling Beta Harsh not to come any closer.
After Beta Harsh left, I took a deep breath and calmed my mind. I tried to call Cheva for communication. But again, I encountered a peculiarity; I couldn't establish a link with my wolf. Everything seemed dark, and I didn't feel Cheva's presence at all.
What was actually happening?
"Becca."
I quickly turned when I heard Andrew's voice; he appeared from the side of the stairs, his expression full of regret. Yes, I knew, I knew very well that he regretted what had happened between us.
I didn't waste any time; I put aside the strangeness in my body and powers and ran to hug Andrew.
"Don't say anything, Andrew. Forget everything that happened; I don't want to discuss it anymore. I want us to be okay and stay together as before."
Our breaths were both heavy, as if we were fighting against every sense of guilt and longing we faced at the moment.
Andrew held my face tightly, kissed my forehead, and said, "I did something terrible. Selena tempted me, she's a member of the Butterfly Grace pack, she befriended one of my pack members, and I didn't know... while I was in the healing process, Selena just appeared and always took the opportunity to get close to me. I'm just a foolish man who couldn't control himself; please forgive me, Becca. I love you so much."
I nodded. I placed my index finger on Andrew's lips and said, "I don't want to hear any more explanations. Everything is done; that problem is behind us now. Now, I want us to focus on our relationship. I've missed you so much, Andrew. I can't bear--."
The intense passion between us made Andrew immediately silence me by devouring my lips with wild abandon.
One thing for sure, this brutal play was one I always eagerly awaited whenever I met Andrew. I never felt bored; there was always a new sensation every time he brought my body into the warmth that occurred when our skins touched.
Every touch that sent me floating was the most enjoyable addiction in my life. Like now, as his hands began to dance on the sensitive parts of my body. The scent of Andrew's body became even more intoxicating as he discarded his clothes.
Unfortunately, the pleasure had to come to a halt when I began to feel intense pain and discomfort as something entered my body. Instantly, I screamed and kicked Andrew's stomach.
"What's wrong, Becca? What did you do? Why did you kick me and scream like a mad person?"
I swallowed my saliva and shook my head slightly. This pain clearly arose due to my powers disappearing; it was as if I were a regular human engaging with a werewolf. Obviously, it could cause such intense pain, especially considering Andrew's immense strength.
But, even so, I still didn't want to be honest with Andrew. After all, I wasn't entirely convinced that my powers had completely vanished; it sounded absurd and impossible.
"Forgive me, I don't know. Maybe it's because we haven't been intimate for a while, so it feels a bit painful. Forgive me, come here, Honey."
I pulled Andrew's hand and kissed his lips. I repeated all the foreplay we had done to reignite the passion between us that had surely been disrupted by my earlier screams.
Several minutes passed, and everything heated up again. I was ready to continue, but then I screamed again when 'that thing' entered my body.
"No! Stop it!" This time, Andrew's face became my target. I slapped him; I endured the pain, but it was too much. My body felt like it was being crushed by a giant; it was terrifying.
"Okay, enough, Becca. I won't do it again. I don't want to hear your screams. I'm done." Andrew moved away from me and put on his clothes.
He was about to leave the room, but I immediately grabbed his hand and said, "No, Honey. You don't need to go, please, don't go."
Andrew pulled his hand out of my grasp. "I don't want us to argue again, Becca. We just made up, and if you keep acting strange, maybe I should go. We can meet when you're ready; maybe I'll be gone for a week, and you can find satisfaction with someone else by then."
I shook my head quickly and said, "That will never happen, Andrew. I won't cheat on you!"
Andrew's gray eyes rolled upward, and then he gave a sardonic smile. "Then why did you scream when I touched you? Can you explain this?"
I swallowed my saliva, I was cornered now. I didn't know what to answer; I couldn't possibly tell him about my vanished powers. Where would my pride as a great Alpha Female be? I didn't want to disappoint Andrew; an alpha like him couldn't possibly have a weak mate without powers.
"Okay, you can't explain it. I guess my suspicion is correct."
Andrew turned his body and was already at the door when I yelled loudly, "I lost my powers, Andrew!"
Andrew's steps halted, and he turned to me, furrowing his brow. "What do you mean?"
Tears came, and they started streaming down my cheeks. I was so scared, but I had to explain what I felt this morning. I nodded and gathered the strength to speak again. "Yes, I lost my powers. I can't communicate with my wolf; I can't use my powers. My body feels like that of a regular human, Andrew, and I don't know why all of this is happening."
