P.O.V Lutrice
“We meet again Mutt.” Time to use him.
“Who are you?” All muts are stupid. “You’re not too bad on the sight, I understand why she can’t leave you.” His face seems to doubt me. “Who are you again?” I always have to tell them everything. “Last time I saw you, you had fur all over you.” His eyes widened. “You’re the witch?” Witch, witch, the bad witch. “I have a name, witch, can be anyone, I am Lutrice the Queen Witch.” He snaps at me. “You are no Queen.” Smiling, “for the ones that matter I am.” The little mutt trying to come at me. I Laugh at the attempt. “You are in my nightmare. I can do whatever I want with you.” Putting my hand at front, he starts shocking, lifting my hand up, he is up in the air in front of me. Walking a little closer. “I need some answers mutt and I need them from you.” He tries to speak. “I-I will … never… give… anything.” Smirking “That is not smart, mutt, I can kill you inside this nightmare.”
He shifts in front of me and drops all four on the floor.
“That is cheating, she taught you that. But in wolf form I can have the answers I want, shift Mutt, or I will do the hard way, and you won’t like it.” Growling at me. “May it be the hard way, this is going to hurt.”
Chant Spell: “As the light becomes dark, your mind is mine to control, in this nightmare of mine.”

After that we are back in our mind, seeing her and hearing her, but not being able to move, or break the shield. I understand that we are talking, but how if we are both in the back of the mind, we can’t hear, only her part.
‘Damn we got caught again.’ My human looks at me. ‘Glad you notice.’ He puts his hands on the invisible barrier. ‘We need to get out of this shield.’ Sitting looking at him. ‘We know what to do now.’ He looks at me and puts his hand on his hair. He always does that when he's not sure of something. ‘But we never tried that.’ Showing my teeth. ‘What better way than now.’ He smiles at me.

“Now that you are at my mercy, I need some answers. Have they found the cursed child yet?” My shadow that is creeping inside his memories gives the answer I need. “No Master.” I start pacing and picking my nails. “Do they know here she is?” They can talk to me even in the wolf form because their voices are projections. “No Master, but the Mutt and the Witch are planning to meet the Elders about the girl.” Stopping I smile. “It’s a girl. When?” Stopping and sitting on the tree root. “They just talked about it, but nothing decided.” I need to know more. “When did they talk about it?” Does the witch know? “Before they started training, the Mutt could sense the shield.” That may be a problem. “What, they are supposed to be out when you take over.” This is the way I have to connect my power to them. “This one is different, I can plant the shield, but I still feel them in the back of my mind.” Dammit “The blood in him is stronger. I have been keeping you, because I need a connection with them, you also have the same blood, so don’t fail me.”
“Yes Master.” I can still use him. “I need you to tell me when the reunion will take place, you know who you can trust back there.”
“Yes.” I see the wolf falling in pain on the ground. He transforms to be human again.
“We won’t tell you anything else you can’t control us.” I look at him, he should have never been able to break the shield. “That Old Hag still has some tricks. But you are still inside my nightmare, if you can’t give information and I can’t control you anymore, I will have to kill you.” His voice seems different, like two people are speaking at the same time. “That will not be easy, witch.” I see a light shield around him. “No light can equal my shadow, you are still too weak for me Mutt.” I cast some dark orbs at him, the shield breaks in an instant. “See Mutt, you still have a lot of training.” He seems determined. “I can take you.” He comes at me and starts attacking. I don’t even need to dodge, this is a dream, all the punches go right through me.
“Stupid Mutt, this is my dream, and can leave you here to die.” I laugh hard.
P.O.V Wolf
‘Let’s do it’
We started changing, it was complicated, and it hurt like hell, we connected to become just one. After the full transformation, we attacked the witch, but we could not land one single blow.
“Stupid Mutt, this is my dream, and can leave you here to die.”
‘How do normal people leave dreams and nightmares, we try to wake up?’ I felt light surround me again, but this time it was stronger.
“Seems I came at the right time.” A light shadow appears next to me. “Old Hag.” Lutrice hisses. “Don’t you have better things to do, besides crashing my nightmares.” The form could not tell if it was a man or woman. How did she know? “How long Lutrice? How long will you keep suffering?” That seems to stirr her up. “I am not suffering , they all are, forever.” The voice in the light was faint but easy to hear. “It was so long ago, let go, move on my child, you can still have a better future.” She stands up fuming.
“A BETTER FUTURE… A BETTER FUTURE, I am tied up to a dead tree, because of the b***h that had to mess up everything, this Mutt just will not die. A BETTER FUTURE, there is no future.” Sadness, sorrow and Anger, I could feel them in that space.
“Lutrice, my daughter.” Giving a step to the front of the tree pointing her finger. “Don’t my daughter me. I don’t have a mother since the day you betrayed me, he was my Mate, not hers, MY MATE, and you took her side, and ground me. You put a spell on me so they could kill me, like being rejected was not enough to break my heart, you had to stay on their side not mine, MINE, I needed you that time, not now. NOW I AM QUEEN WITCH OF SO MANY, and was all thanks to me. YOU are NOT my MOTHER. You lost that privilege long ago.” I try to intervene. I understand the hurt of being rejected, we all do. “Lutrice, we understand what you are going through.” She turned to me, if her face had any color it would be red in anger.
“Understand Mutt, what do you understand? You screw whoever as some power over you, you don’t even have respect for your future Mate, you are the same as every one of them that I saw, they cheat, they make suffer, the MATE BOND only causes suffering, but with the Royal Family lineage off the face of the earth, her lineage will also be over.” I was in shock. “Lutrice, you are trying to make the Moon Goddess disappear? Do you understand what will happen to all the species if he doesn't have her? She not only deals with our fate or love, but to everyone's fate or love involved.” Realization of everything the Curse could take away from us hit me. “We don’t need her. She only makes us suffer, the Mate Bond makes us attracted to that person, we can’t run away. What if that person is not the one for us? If it makes us suffer, we can’t go away, we are forever connected because of that bond.” I decided to talk once again. “That is not true, even if you are attracted to the Mate bond, you can always reject.” Also it made me fear if she will reject me.
“Do you understand the pain of rejection, even for a person that wants to break free, do you understand that she suffers also?” I could see the hurt in her, even her dark eyes had tears, then something happened.
“I HAD ENOUGH OF TALKING, YOU HAVE EVERYTHING EASY, I WILL DESTROY ALL OF YOU.” There was a strange wind, small orbs started circling around Lutrice. “YOU WILL DIE TODAY.” The orb came to me, but the light on my side made a shield in front that blinded me.
I stood up and woke up in my room, with the Old Witch next to my door, glowing all over. After a few seconds the glowing stopped, she blacked out on the floor. I got out of bed and picked her up, mind linking a guard to call the pack doctor, and my father, and put her on my bed.
“What happened?” My father appeared on the door. “I had a nightmare and she saved me, but once I woke up, she collapsed on the floor.” He looks down at her. The pack doctor came inside, he went to examine her. After some minutes.
“She is in a sort of coma, sometimes witches do this, when they lose a lot of power, especially if the body is weak and the power is too strong for a body. Is a miracle she is still alive, most witches don’t get to this age.” Father looks at me. “I will have her room ready to rest.” I continued looking at the doctor. “When will she wake up?” He was putting away the instruments. “We can’t know for sure, only when her body feels recovered.” After mindliking the maids. “Her room is ready, I will take her to it. You take a shower and meet me at my office in one hour.” Picking her up. “Yes Father.” I was left alone in my room again.
‘We need to become strong. The old witch can’t always protect us. We need someone else to train us.’ My wolf seems on edge. ‘But who?’
