Chapter Eighty
I woke up feeling dizzy.
A glass of water was passed to me, and I accepted it not bothering to look at the person who gave me the water, I took a big gulp before realizing something–it wasn’t water; it had this strange after- taste to it.
“Thane?” I called, everything seemed a bit blurry
“I am right here; you need to rest.”
“No. What is this?” I asked, referring to the glass of water that left a bitter taste in the back of my throat.
“You blacked out earlier; it must be due to your now heightened senses. It would take you some time to adjust to it all. The liquid would help clear the dizziness,” Thane says. The liquid worked faster than I expected and I felt very much better immediately.
“Where am I?” 1
“In our room,” Thane said, and though I wasn’t looking at him, I knew there was still that annoying smirk on his lips.
“I’m naked, Thane.”
“Your dress was utterly ruined by your shift. Too bad, it was really a beautiful piece.”
“So I did transform… into a wolf?” I questioned; it felt like it had all been in my imaginations; I couldn’t believe it.
“Yes, you did.”
“How?… I was pretty sure I had lost my wolf.”
“I don’t think our mating was just a physical thing; usually mates take strength from their partner, elevating their status.”
“What does that mean?”
“It means you wouldn’t be seen as an ornega anymore.”
“That doesn’t make sense; I was born an omega.
“From the size of your wolf, I can tell that you aren’t exactly that.”
“My wolf… what was the colour?” I asked, faintly remembering him telling me how beautiful I was in my
wolf form. T
“White and grey, with those blue eyes of yours…. haven’t seen any more beautiful,” he said.
“I didn’t think it was possible, but you knew… how did you know what to do?”

“I didn’t, but I might have used my Alpha aura on you.”
“And what is that? I don’t really speak ‘wolves‘,” I said, before realizing how stupid I sounded. I was a werewolf, I should know these terms.
Thane brushed that aside. “Alphas have this aura, a commanding kind of presence, and I don’t use it most of the time. I didn’t intend on using it on you either, but you didn’t believe you could do it, and so I made you believe you could.
I was about to ask ‘how‘ again, but he spared me that by explaining. “With this aura I could command anyone lesser than me, in rank – I mean, so I just had to make you know what pleases me and you would do it, even if it leads to your danger or worse.”
“Alpha’s have that?” I asked in surprise.
“Yes, but most don’t use theirs because it isn’t easy to control and things could end up going very ‘bad‘.”

“Yet you tried that on me?”
“I can control it, Riley; I would never have tried it if I didn’t know how to control it.”
“I felt like I was hypnotized.
“That’s the feeling from what I’ve heard–you’ll be willing to do anything, and I had commanded you to catch up with me as fast as you can. Of course you couldn’t do that in your human form, so you had to find the wolf in you and transform, just to catch up.”
“Do
you
think you can do it again?, like use the Alpha thingy on me to help me transform?”
“You should be worried, I could command you to do far more dangerous things,” he says, a wicked glint in his eyes.
“I want to believe you won’t do that,” I said, staring at him. “You won’t, right?”
“Right, not unless it is necessary.”
“Necessary, what does that mean?”
“Who knows, if you deny me of what is mine long enough, then I might have to command you to please me in any way you can.”
I gasped. “You won’t”
He laughed right at my face, and the sound was… beautiful.
“I was just kidding” he says, but I didn’t really believe that.
“So you can literally make me do anything, just by what?, staring at me?”
“You could see it that way, but it isn’t just staring, still I would never force you against your
will.

You won’t need the Alpha ‘thingy‘,” he imitated me, “to transform next time. I can actually feel your wolf.”
“You can?”
“Yes”
“Before now, you couldn’t sense her.”
“That’s literally what I said, but no, I couldn’t sense her, and now I do.”
“Thane… Thank you; I can’t thank you enough; I don’t know how to repay you.”
“There is a way,” he says.
“Usually, when someone says he or she ‘doesn’t know how to repay you‘, you just keep silent and don’t spoil the moment.” I said, but the relief in my voice didn’t give the right impact I had wanted to pass on.
“Well, you said you didn’t know, and I know, so…?”
“Okay, what do you want?” I questioned
“What can you offer?” he shot back, that wicked smirk still on his face.
I really would love to wipe off that smirk from his face one day, and from the look he gave me, he seemed to have read that off my mind, like the opened book I was.
Now back to the question: what did I have to offer? I had nothing; he had everything. “I have nothing to offer,” I say to him.
“Wrong answer, you have a lot to offer, but for now, your voice is enough.”
“My voice? Well, you can have that,” I said with a snort. I could keep talking to him if that’s all he wanted in exchange; actually, it was a very generous offer.
“Thanks,” he says, picking up the book from the drawer beside the bed, the one I had been avoiding looking at for some good amount of time now. Barbara’s fantasies. “Could you read to me?”
Well, that’s the plot twist.
