The Wolf In Me Chapter 41: Part 2 Frustrated

Luka's POV



My eyes felt heavy, but I needed to show them that I am awake and listening to the conversations that
were said. I couldn't feel my body at all, yet I finally managed to turn my head slowly towards Mei. Her
sweet, gentle voice wanted me to try my best to move at least a little. The look in her eyes when I
turned was of pure love and affection and I couldn't wait to get better, both for her, the baby and for the
pack. I tried to speak, but I couldn't manage to form a word which got me frustrated as there was so
much I wanted to say.



"Shh, that's ok. One step at a time," she said, stroking my forehead gently.



I could hear my wolf whimper at her touch but it couldn't release itself from within. Despite trying hard
to move my legs, my arms, shoulders....nothing was responding. I couldn't speak, eat or drink and I
had tubes stuck into my arms. Shit! I felt frustrated. Tears rolled down my face as I turned to look
straight up, staring at the ceiling. I felt Mei's fingers wipe my cheeks and squeezed her hand against
mine.



"I'm sorry Mei," I said through telepathy.





"Oh, don't be. It's not your fault, and you know that! Now rest and get better!" She whispered into my
ear.



I started to feel drowsy and my eyes closed shut as I drifted back into the dream world.



The witches must have returned as I could hear a lot of chatting around me. I opened my eyes and
tilted my head towards the voices. Mei had her back facing me and noticed that she was looking down
at something. Jake was sitting down at the edge of the bed trying to peep between everyone else. I
groaned, trying to draw attention and they all suddenly stopped talking and turned their heads towards
me. Mei rushed to my side smiling.



"You are up! Just on time. Look, the witches retrieved this book. This is going to help take the demons
back to where they belong."



My eyes rested on the book cover and read demon destruction. I frowned and looked back at Mei,
confused since I didn't know what they were planning to do.



"It took us a few days to reach the witches' library and half a day searching for this book. When we
found it, it took three of us to manage to retrieve it as it was bound with a fixed spell since it is a very
dangerous book. But this is the one we need to fight the demons away," Lylah explained, now sitting on
the chair next to my bed.





"And, regarding your...well.. matter we want to help in getting you better. We have figured that you
looked into the mirror and saw....him. With just one look at their true selves, a demon can freeze your
muscles. Normally those who end up in such state they get attacked by the same demon again and
again until he takes every inch of you, including your soul. In your case, he will not dare to try again as
he is threatened by our presence. One of us will stay here day and night and make sure you will not get
attacked again. In time your body will start improving and you will be up and running," she explained,
smiling at me.





"Yeah, I'm already feeling a bit better," Jake said turning to my direction. "I couldn't move my legs at all,
but now I can... Just a little. Can't stand up yet but look."



I shifted my eyes towards his legs as he wriggled his toes grinning at them.



"You see? Better," he continued goofily.



"I'll stay," Melody offered, looking at me, nodding. If I could I would have smiled but my body was tense,
including my face.





"He said thanks," Mei offered, nodding at me. "He can at least talk telepathically, you see," she
continued.



Nelly's pov



I was outside, sitting down on a bench whilst absorbing the great sensation of the sun hitting my skin,
smoking one of my favourite thin cigars with the spellbook on my lap. Whilst turning the pages I started
to read aloud like there was a large audience waiting for a story.



"Durakan demon, known for thriving through fear and pain. Reimbursing spell, demilatorum spell,
silvulum protection spell. Ahh. So many options."



I turned the next page and the next until I found the right spell for the right demon.



"Huh, gotcha. This will do temporarily," I said exhaling the fumes out of my lungs, enjoying the moment
of accomplishment.



I turned off the cigar and strolled back into the hall where Lylah was, talking to one of the wolves.





"Mind I interrupt? It's urgent," I said looking at the other old lady.



She observed me for a second, then nodded, forming a friendly smile. I pulled Lylah to walk with me
back outside.



"Look. I found it! This must be the one. Look at this drawing. Horns, hooves, goaty looking ugly
creature. No wonder he can't bear to look at himself in the mirror. I wouldn't want to see me like that
either."



I watched her observe the page whilst softly passing her delicate finger over the writing and drawing.



"Yes. I think this guy is the one. This is no gentle beast. He will give us a good fight until he gives in,"
she said, turning her attention on me.



I smirked, willing to be in such action.



"Still, this is not the demolishing spell, so we must look further into this book. The mirror mirror spell
can only last so much," Lylah said handing me back the heavy book.





"Well, let the games begin," I retorted.



Luka's POV



I can't stay like this forever, I kept thinking to myself. I am the alpha and the king. I can't let the wolves
without their master. Slowly I tried to move a muscle... Something... Anything.



"Move," I finally said aloud.



To my surprise, I heard myself talk for the very first time in days. I wanted to smile to myself for my first
achievement.



"You spoke," Jake said excitedly. "Say something else! Come on!" He encouraged, looking at me with
wide eyes still sitting on his bed.



Melody stood up from her chair and walked towards me smiling and nodded in encouragement.



"Mei," I said in a throaty voice.





I looked at Melody hoping she would understand my need for my mate and bring her next to me.



I heard Jake chuckle, "yes! He is coming back! The King is returning!" he said with his voice
penetrating in my ears.



I wanted to let out some joy I was feeling within me, but other than managing one word at a time, I had
no movement still.



"I'll find her and let her know you have asked for her," Melody said, making her way towards the door.



What were minutes of wait, felt like hours. Jake couldn't stop talking and he was giving me a headache,
but I didn't want to stop him, knowing what we have all gone through these past months. I knew that he
was relieving himself off of his anxiety. What laid ahead of us was even far worse than what was to
come. I was trying to motivate myself, I concentrated to move my fingers. As hard as I tried, it was to
no avail. Jake stopped talking and I felt him staring at me for a while after hearing a strong exhale
coming from me.



"I'm sorry you have to go through this."





His eyes hovered over my still body in a pitty manner.



"No," I managed to say with my choky voice. "No Alpha, we have you as our alpha. You will heal and
return to your rightful position. Mei was making sure that everything was still going the usual way
around the packhouse, including daily training."



I turned my head weakly to look at him and smiled for the very first time in a while. At least my facial
muscle movements were returning. Jake returned a smile. I could feel my wolf move within me like he
was restless and unable to emerge.



"Don't worry Simba. I'm trying my best to get us back," I mind linked my wolf, trying to calm him down,
which seemed to have worked.



Mei's POV



Malakai seems to be doing his job pretty well for our pack, making sure we don't lose our

Stamina whilst Luka was in the process of healing. It felt good to let everyone know what has
happened to their alpha during the meeting I had with the pack this morning. A heavy weight was
slightly lifted from my shoulders. They had to know as they needed to be aware of the present



circumstance. I was starting at the pack, watching them train from a few meters away, wishing I could
join them. But my belly was getting heavier and I felt less keen on training for the time being.



"Mei," Melody's voice said quietly from behind me.



I turned, startled as I hadn't sensed her or scented her, being so close.



"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to disturb you."



Her eyes looked like she had something exciting to say.



"Luka spoke your name. I think he wants you," she explained.



"Spoke?" I asked surprised. Melody nodded and smiled.
