CHAPTER THIRTY-FOUR: Part 1
{Connor's POV}
My life was gone. An empty void had been ripped from my heart as I stared down at Eryn's body. Cold and warm all at once. Her heart beat had faded away and the blood still flowed through her shirt. My tears still ran like a river and my heart was broken. Anger now erupted from me as I lifted my head to stare at the one man who unleashed the devil that arose in my inner mind and I gently lay Eryn down and stood up from where I was knelted. The silence of both my pack and the rogues was deep and dead. A sly smile spread across Dantes lip as he pointed the gun my way,
"Angry?" he asked and as fast as my thought was processed I was running at him in my human form, not caring that the sound of the gun went off and the smell of gun powder was strong but I didn't feel the pain, there was no pain as I tackled Dante to the gravel ground and in moments, I watched as Andrus tried to run to where Dante and I were now wrestling but just as fast as Andrus was running at me, Drayden had transformed into his wolf, tackling Andrus before he met me and Dante. That's when my pack reacted as some of them ran at Angel and Maria, who quickly transformed into their wolf forms and fought off those who were still in human form. While fighting Dante, I ordered Troy to take the pack away from the area and Kenny and Greg to stay and fight. Troy did just that and ordered everyone who I didn't say stay to follow him to the North area of the town. They did as I said as Maria and Angel took on Kenny and Greg. Dante finally threw me off of him and I flipped over to land on my knees as he smiled at me,
"How does it feel to kill the one you love." he asked and he quickly transformed into his midnight black wolf who stood a good 2 feet taller then my wolf. I didn't hesitate to transform into my forest black wolf and we glared at eachother.
"This is the first time I've seen you so grown up brother. Looks like the silver bullet will slow you down!" he said and that's when my mind realized that I had been shot in the right arm. I quickly looked at my arm and seen the wound pouring out blood. The pain was invisible as I didn't set my mind on it. I was going to kill my brother, I kept saying instead. He didn't care that I was now running at him, feeling my arm start to numb but that wasn't my worry. I wanted to see his head detached from his body. As I got closer to him, he jumped high enough to dodge my body and then landed in the back of me but spun around quickly and grabbed me by the arm he shot me at, squeezing so as to feel the pain through my shoulders.
"So much anger and no thoughts to process my moves little brother." I growled and tried to elbow him but he gave space between my body and his as he squeezed even harder. The pain was there alright and I howled in pain. I watched Drayden and Andrus taking eachother on and Andrus threw him off of himself as he ran at Drayden. Then my attention and smell caught the odd hypnotizing smell of vanilla. The smell was strong and I recognized it but I didn't believe who it belonged to, it couldn't belong to her.

Darkness had taken over but the smell of vanilla was strong as I quickly woke up and in the front of me was me or what I would call my sorceress. Her elegance and demeanor was flawless as she stared at me as if I was nothing but a piece of wood. She looked just like me only her demon dark eyes filled her eye sockets. Her hair was a shade lighter then mine but her body was in comaprison with mine. I didn't speak as a sly smile spread across her perfect red lips,
"Pathetic!" she said and I tried to say something. I tried to ask if I was dead but she sighed,
"Can't control me. But I can't die either. So what I'm going to do is bring you back to life but I'm taking over. That wolf boy is irritating but he's handsome. You can watch while I show you how real power is." the sorceress said as I tried to object but in seconds I was in a dark room. At first I couldn't feel where I was going but then a light flashed before me and I was now staring up into the dawning sky and the noise of fighting made me look to the other side of where I lay and that's when I seen Andrus fighting Drayden and Maria was fighting Kenny. Greg and Angel were going at it but where was Dante and Connor? I felt myself get up but I didn't pick myself up.
[Watch and see how I can easily control this situation] my sorceress said. I knew then I had no control of my body.
{Connor's POV}
The smell was so strong that I had to force my head to turn to where I seen Eryn standing and looking at Drayden and Andrus. Dante had loosen his grip on me as he backed up. Seeing Eryn alive, he was shocked but so was I. Then I knew it was her sorceress because when she looked our way, complete blackness of the eyes. A smile spread across her lips as she started to walk to where we were and I could feel Dantes presence start to back up away from me and then her voice was hypnotizing,
"Dante! We finally meet." she said and as I looked at everyone else they all heard her. She didn't move her lips. She communicated with whoever was near her. Then I watched as she turned to face Maria and Maria's gray wolf whimpered but didn't move.
"Hush now! No need to be afraid. After all, I'm a weak woman and not fit to be a Luna." From the looks on everyones face, they were almost as shocked as I was but I was even more happier that she wasn't dead. She was alive but it wasn't her sorceress I wanted to see, I wanted Eryn. Seeing the sorceress meant trouble but I stared at her wound and didn't see any blood pouring from it just the dried blood on her shirt. Was her sorceress that strong to bring her back to life? I took a step forward, wanting to transform back to my human side but she stopped me,
"Not now Connor! If you were to transform back to your human form, what would be the fun of me having you destroy your brother." she said and even though I tried to transform, I couldn't. What did she mean by her having me destroy Dante?
"Eryn-" I started but she cut me off, "Not Eryn love. Sorceress! Eryn isn't in right now." she said with a smirk. It was weird to have her talking to me through mind.
"Sorceress . . . Are you keeping me from transforming?" I asked and the sorceress started to walk to me as she stood inches away from my full figure. She was small and petite compared to my wolf. She reached up and petted my fur on my chest as my wolf actually shuttered at the touch.
"I probably should have told you about a sorceress mating with an Alpha wolf." she started and looked over at Dante for a moment and I noticed no one moved or dared to move from where they were. She continued,
"Once Eryn first met you at the bar, you unleashed me, her true power but I wasn't fully prepared or fully developed. The closer you two became the more powerful I was getting. The incident with Penelope was the climax but once we mated, the process was fulfilled." she finished and I leaned in towards her,
"The process?" I asked and the smile that formed on her lips was sinister,
"Your no normal Alpha. Your moon goddess chose you for me and that only meant that you were strong enough for me to be controlled and since you were mated to me, I am able to control the minds and bodies of all wolves!" I felt my wolf twitch a bit and I couldn't believe I was hearing this. Was that even possible?
"Shall I demonstrate?" she said but it was a rhetorical question. She turned her attention to Angel and Angels wolf shuttered at The sorcerss stare.
"Angel . . . What a odd name you were given." the laugh that left the sorceress lips was evil. This was not good. Eryn started to walk towards Angel until she stood a few feet in front of her. Angels light brown wolf growled at Eryn and all Eryn did was laugh again,
"I wouldn't blame you for not liking me at the moment but your really not going to like what I do to your brother." and as she said that, a disgruntel growl came from Andrus and I looked over as I watched Andrus start to shake as if on his own. I watched his claws ball into fists and then he buckled at his knees, his howling so loud even I felt the movement of it. And then I seen in a dash as Angel growled and ran at the sorceress but before she could lay a finger on Eryn, Andrus had tackled his own sister. Maria whimpered even more at what just happened. Andrus had his sister by the throat and Dante was already running towards Andrus but before he passed me, he froze just behind me and Eryn turned our way,
"Don't worry, you'll have your turn." And he sat back on his hind legs. A mean growl exited his snout but he was forced to watch as Andrus threw Angel to the ground with as much force as he could mustard up. A small crack was heard from Angels wolf as she tried to get up and Andrus stood over her and picked her up by the neck and squeezed as Angels wolf tried clawing at the tall light brown wolf that held her at her neck. I looked over to Drayden, Kenny and Greg and they watched from afar as if not to be phased by what was happening.
"What's wrong with you guys?" I said and Eryn looked my way,
"Their under my control so the only thing they are to do is watch while I kill them." she said and then turned her attention back to Andrus as he threw his sister harder against the gravel ground and another cracking noise was heard from her. As much as I wanted them all dead, I didn't want to see them tortured this way. I didn't want to see them tortured like Penelope. Even as a wolf, I still had my human side and I surely didn't want to see Eryn doing it. This wasn't her.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
With every ounce of my musles, I wanted to stop her. I wanted to stop myself from what I was doing. Yes, they planned on killing us and the town but killing them this way was making us just like them. She was in control and I was helpless. I watched as Andrus tortured his own sister and her cries was hard to listen to by my sorceress enjoyed every moment of it. The look in Connor's eyes made me ache inside. He didn't want this for me and Maria even looked helpless. I felt sorry for them. This was going too far and I even knew this. My sorceress was ruthless but how were we going to stop her. She was in control and she was powerful now then ever.
{Connor's POV}
I turned around to watch Dante in his wolf form look helpless and as much as I wanted him to suffer, torture wasn't what I wanted for him. Watchin Andrus beat on his sister and watching and hearing her cries was making my insides turn. I wanted it to Andrus who was being beat up because he was the one that killed Cain but even then, no one deserved this pain.
"Eryn! You have to stop this." I communicated with her. Eryn turned her dark eyes on me,
"I don't have to do anything and I'm not Eryn." she said and I answered,
"Your in Eryn's body. Your Eryn and this isn't what Eryn would want. Stop this!" I demanded this time. She stared at me and this time she turned her body towards me and that's when Andrus stoppped as Angel laid motionless on the ground. Eryn then started to walk towards me and stood a few feet away from me,
"Eryn is weak and this is why your in this predicament. They deserve every ounce of punishment they are getting. Like I said before, I'm not Eryn so I'd apperciate if you hold your tongue dog." she didn't communicate with me, she said this out loud and when I tried to communicate, nothing transfered. She then turned back around to where Andrus stilll stood next to Angel and walked over to where they were. Maria didn't dare look my way. I was helpless. My three pack memebers were statues. Dante hadn't moved at all and this was all because of Eryn's soreceress. She was this powerful to be able to control both a Beta and an Alpha werewolf. I wondered on what else she could do to even think about harming the pack. She didn't like being told what to do, that I knew for sure.
The sorceress folded her arms,
"You can continue to finish her off Andrus and I've got a little duty for Mr. Dante after. Right Mr. Dante?" she said turning her head to where Dante was. He howled once, answering her in obdience. Andrus then turned to his sister and picked her up by the throat. He threw her unmoving body against an oak tree just to the side of the town hall. He ran over and picked her up again and threw her to where Eryn stood. Eryn smiled down at her and I couldn't take it any more as I I took a few feet towards her but she turned to me and the glare in her eyes made me stop,
"I try not to remember that you hit me unconscious last time but this time I'm more prepared for you. So I ask you dear love, what will you do once I kill her?" the sorceress asked.
"Eryn-" I said and in moments a unseen force pushed me backwards to where I was farther away from Eryn. The hit was hard and I could feel it running up my back. I got back up and Eryn took a step towards me,
"I'm not going to tell you again love . . . I'm not Eryn."
"No you're not. Your something worse then these guys killing off my pack." I said through gritted teeth and getting back up. She just smiled,
"Your just as weak as they are. Why do you care so much for dogs that betray you or want to kill you? I'm here to help you get rid of them." her voice was some what sincere but I started towards her,
"Not like this. This isn't Eryn . . . If you can hear me Eryn, you have to-" another push was felt but this time towards my heart and I doubled over on my knees and clenched at my chest.
"Your weak. Your not strong enough to be with me. How the moon goddess chose was wrong. Your pathetic. I'll just have to kill you so you don't get in my way." she said and I could hear her start to walk my way. The push against my chest was hard as if an elephant was sitting on it. I clenched so hard at my chest that my claws left marks. The smell of vanillia was strong and I barely looked up to see her standing over me, a wicked stare I've never seen. Disappointment. She lifted my chin up a bit,
"We could have ruled this world together." she said and she lifted her hand as a white liquid fire ball started to form in the center of her palm. The hear from it was strong and even the power flowing from that one ball was enough to kill us all. I bowed my head so I wouldn't have to think about what was to come next. If this was meant to be, I wanted to die. I didn't want to see Eryn die.

No . . . No. What was she doing? I watched in horror as she stood in front of Connor, her hand filled with a firey substance. I could feel it but it didn't affect me. I knew what she was going to do. She was going to kill Connor!
[Percisley!] she said.
"No . . . Don't you dare! Please-"
[Are you going to stop me? Of course not. Your too weak.]
"Shut up!" I said fustrated because I knew she was right. Why was I weak? Why was I not able to take over?
[Simple. You aren't willing to fully fight for what you love. Even though you say you love him you still don't believe you can save him]
"Shut Up!"
[Not only will you watch him die but you'll be the one killing him] she said and that was all I could stand. My thought cleared and my mind focused. And my very being opened up. The feeling was hard at first and then powering as if something had been taking over me. It was strong and all I thought about was Connor.
[What are you doing?] my sorceress yelled. I ignored her and then let the unknown powers just take me and in moments I was inches from Connor's face, my hands outstretched and inches away from his neck. His wolf form was knelt down awaiting his death. Was I staring at him or was it my sorceress. I then combed my fingers through his mane and I knew I had control over myself again.
"Connor." I said and the midnight black wolf quickly looked up to me as he stood to his full height.
"Eryn?" he asked with a quizzical look. I nodded once and he picked me up into a hug. He was ten times bigger then I was but he felt warm and good.
"Kill her!" I heard the voice of Andrus ringing through my head and in moments, I turned around to see Andrus running at me. His claws were outstretched towards me but in moments he stopped dead in his run and then went to his knees. A gaping hole replaced where his heart should have been and I watched as Drayden had ripped his heart out of his chest and threw it to the side of him. Andrus quickly turned back to his human form and his body turned blue. A small whimper came from Angel as she hesistantly came to her full wolf height and she tried to walk to where Andrus was but quickly fell, obviously feeling the full affect of what Andrus did to her. She couldn't even move well. Maria had turned back to her human self and was in tears the whole time. She knew if she would have taken off she would have been killed in seconds.
Dante was gone. When did he take off? We didn't know. We were back to ourselves when the spell over us was gone. Connor quickly looked towards Dantes smell and tried to go after him but I grabbed his oversized arm and stopped him,
"Don't!" I commanded.
"Eryn-" He try to argue but I shook my head,
"No more. He's gone so let him be gone. We've got others to worry about right now." I said starring at Maria and Angel. Connor understood and looked over to Maria and Angel then to Kenny and Greg, who seemed to be back to themselves.
"Take those two out of my face. Well deal with them later." he commnaded and they nodded as they walked the naked Maria and hurt Angel out of the town.
"I'll head over to grab us some clothes." Drayden said, taking off. Connor then contacted Troy to let him know that Dante was gone and on the loose. He had to make sure his pack was okay. They were and safe in another pack territory. Connor looked around and then at Andrus dead body. In moments Drayden arrived in his human form dressed and then handed Connor some clothes. Connor let Drayden know to take care of Andrus body. Drayden nodded and did as he was told. Connor was fully dressed and then it was just he and I in the town. Empty.
"Are you okay?" he asked, walking to me and examining me. He then looked at where the stab wound would have been if it didn't heal. He ran his fingers over the smooth skin and then looked at me in confusion. I shrugged my shoulders,
"I don't know what happened? I don't know how I even came back to life. The pain was real but after that I can't remember." I said and he sighed then he hugged me,
"I don't ever want you to do that again." he said, hugging me tight as if I was going somewhere. I held him back and my tears started to form,
"I thought I was going to kill you." I sobbed as I dugged my face into his shoulder and he kissed the top of my head. Everything was just too fast for me. Even after the spell being worn off by the others I didn't know that I could still hear their thoughts. Connor gently stroked the back of my back and shooshed me because I was now crying. Everything that just happened was fast. Too quick. I was lucky enough to take my body back from my sorceress but I felt as if I had myself under control. There was still some kind of powerful thing just itching to be released. I don't know how but I had a pretty tight cap on it. Connor pulled me away at arms length,
"Lets get things settled in the town." he said wiping the tears from my eyes.
"But Dante-" I started but he just smiled,
"He's gone for now. I don't think he dares to return after seeing your full power."
"I don't know how but I don't think that was my full powers. For some reason I don't think my sorceress is done with this." I said and Connor sighed, "Well just have to figure a way to find your adoptive family but right now lets get our pack situated. Their with the Rocky Mountain pack, just a few miles down the way."
"What are you going to do with Maria and Angel?" I asked.
"That's something we can worry about later. I'm just glad things turned out the way they did. I don't know how I would have lived without you. Please don't ever do that again . . . Promise me!" he said as he gave me a serious look.
"I can't promise-"
"Eryn! PROMISE ME" he said again with more command to his voice. I stared into his eyes, those eyes I almost lost. The eyes that had fallen in love with me and not my sorceress. Of course I couldn't denie his request. I nodded once,
"I promise." I finally said and he let a sigh of relief out as he pulled me into another hug.
