66 Chapter 66: Lost in her own mind

"Hmmm..Then let's pick up where we left off." He said, picking her up in his arms.

Elize gasped as the sudden movement surprised her. She didn't think that it would be this easy to tame such a big animal. Although it looked like Zack at the moment, the cold creature that the body seemed to house at the moment was not him. A sudden sense of sadness came over her. Deep inside she knew that whatever happened after she had stepped out of her mansion was somehow because of her. It was her selfishness that put her mate in this situation. She looked longingly towards his perfectly chiseled jaw line and the contours of his face. He was still gorgeous, but she didn't feel a strand of emotion for the body that was holding her close.

At that moment she realized something. It was not the way that his face looked but the way that he looked in it that made her fall in love with him. She had to admit, that despite the pull of the mate bond which was completely physical, she had invested in him with her emotions. And that was the sole reason why she hated her state right now. She was in love with the person that was Zack. She knew that she'd do anything for the man that was trapped inside his own body. Tears slid down her strained cheeks, as she was lowered once again on the bed.

"Hold me." Elize said, opening her arms wide.

With a triumphant look, the wolf embraced her, this time with a much softer touch. Maybe it was because she appeared to be yielding. The animal had completely let its guard down. His hot breath fanned against her neck as their bodies locked together tightly. The touch disgusted her, but she knew that this was her only chance. If she missed it, she'd die in the hands of an angry beast. Elize hence was very careful to keep her fears in check and her intentions hidden. Weaving her hands into his hair, she pulled him down towards her till his mouth was close enough to her jugular vein. The position was best. He wouldn't know what her face looked like, even if her expressions betrayed her.

"Bite me please." She said, her voice breaking.

For a moment, his hands around her waist stayed still, making her fear for her life. Did he see through her? She had to be more convincing. What can she do? Elize thought nervously. An idea passed through her head.

"If you do, I'll let you

If it was just a mindless animal who was driven by lust, then maybe if she provoked him more, she'd get through to him. She thought sliding her hands down the sides of his torso to his behind. Suppressing her desire to cuss, she grabbed his rear cheeks and squeezed them, pushing his lower body towards the spot in between her legs. As his erect member squished against her core, the wolf moaned loudly, nuzzling his nose on the side of her neck.

"I'll make you scream in pleasure." He whispered against her skin, sending shivers down her spine.

"Aaaaaarrgh!!" She moaned, closing her eyes, losing herself to the feeling.

She could feel the blood ooze out of the wound, and his slick tongue lapping at it, cleaning every drop of it before it rolled further down. His right hand slid up her torso to the back of her neck to hold it in place, as he drank more deeply from her. His fangs dug in deeper and his one hand slammed her body tightly against him. Elize wrapped her legs around his waist as her hands found their way to his hair. She gripped it tightly, pushing his mouth further against her skin.

As he kept drinking from her, slow laziness started seeping into her limbs. Something was dragging her from inside. She refused to budge, uncomfortable at the feeling. Suddenly she felt a piercing pain in the pit of her stomach. It felt like nails dragging across her insides. She cried in pain, but no sound came out. What was happening?! Why can't she move?! Elize panicked. Suddenly a very hairy hand started choking her, it was getting difficult to breathe. She looked towards the wolf, his one hand was still against her hips and the other supporting the back of her throat. Who the hell was trying to choke her then?!

'Help!' She screamed in her mind.

Darkness was closing in on her. Her vision started blurring as her eyes slowly closed. She was lying limp in the arms of a beast, who didn't notice her body slagging. His arms were still clutching her body tight, drinking deeply from her. The last thing that caught her attention before she slipped away, was the sound of a long howl in her head. She recognized it, the same sound had haunted her sleep every day since she got bitten. It was the sound of her wolf. But why? Why was it back? Irina and Agatha had sealed it away. She thought desperately as everything went blank.

---------------------------------------

'Chosen one! Wake up! Wake up!' A feeble voice sounded in the back of her head.

Elize moaned groggily. Her head was throbbing like hell. She clutched her head in her hands to press on them but her hands grabbed nothing. Surprised, she tried grabbing her own hands, but once again, it passed through a weird cool air. It was then that she understood that she was unable to even feel her "hands" that she was sending commands to. Fear gripped her heart. What was happening?! She opened her eyes, but could only see darkness. She tried blinking, hoping that her vision would clear. But she couldn't even feel her eyelids closing and opening. Something was wrong.

'Chosen one! You need to wake up before it's too late!'

The sound was clearer now, more louder. Who was speaking to her? And where was she?

'Who is it?' She asked back.

Strange, she couldn't hear anything when she was speaking. But she knew that she had spoken. Or had she not?

'It is I- the Tohar Sehlah.' The voice answered, reassuring Elize that whoever was on the other end had heard her. But how?

'Oh, it is you. Why can't I feel anything? Why is it so dark?' She asked, recognizing the mythical stone.

'Because you are not in the driving seat of your body. Your wolf is surfacing. Hence you don't have a body right now.'

'What?! So where am I again?'

'Inside your own mind. But I don't have time to explain. You're slipping away.'

'What? To where?'

'Brace yourself.'

'For wha- aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrgh!' She screamed, as a strange force pushed her from behind.

She felt like she was a child being thrown up to the sky. Her heart dropped as a sickening feeling came over her. She hated quick motions. She wanted to puke. But she doubted she could, since she had no body. She looked up towards where she felt like she was forced onto. There was a faint light that appeared somewhere ahead. It started getting clearer as she got closer. The light was too blinding for her to keep looking at it. She wanted to shield herself from it, but she had no hands. Suddenly the speed increased, and now she felt like she was being sucked into the light. She feared that she would slam into whatever awaited her on that end.

'Fuck.' Elize cursed, as she braced herself for impact.

The light consumed her being. And all of a sudden she could see again. She blinked twice. She was staring at a white ceiling, made of a strange stone that was glowing from within. Elize was once again back in the cave. Her senses slowly started coming back to her. And that was when she felt it. Someone was breathing heavily onto her neck. Images of the wolf biting into her neck came back in flashes. A stinging pain started at the spot of his bite and pierced into her heart. It appeared that he was desperately trying to withdraw his fangs from her neck and push her body away. Elize was no more turned on by the creature who was stuck onto her body. She pushed him away in disgust, detaching him from herself.

The wolf fell down from the bed onto the floor weakly. Elize sat up, looking down on the body now rolling around the stone floor like it was in pain. She chuckled, realizing that the wolf would have probably realized his mistake by now. Angry eyes shot up at her, stilling her smile.

The wolf spat. "You bitch! What- ugh!!" He grunted, clutching his stomach tightly.

Suddenly he started coughing blood all over the floor. Elize stood up in shock.

"Shit!" She cussed.
