REBORN UNDER THE FULL MOON
Chapter 118: Unseen forces

Antonio's

POV

I woke up despaired. Going to the supernational mirror I always took along with me while travelling, I looked at myself.

I saw grey hairs!!!

"Cielo!!! Sto invecchiando ad una velocità incredibile! Devo agire subito!!!, Kyle must be found quick!!! " I exclaimed, jamming my right fist on my left hands. "Hmm...," I exhaled, my hand rubbing my moustache, still standing before the mirror. I smiled as I hit a jackpot of an idea.

"I shall summon his spirit, yes!!!"

Moving back to my bed, I raised the pillow up, tearing it open, looking into it, searching intensely for something. Finding it, I headed back to the mirror. "Karrriiii...... bariiiii...... dariiiiiii," I growled, filled with agony, agony of ageing without being Immortal; my acclaimed Destiny.

"Karrriiii...... bariiiiiii.... darrriiii," I repeated with increased agony and despair. It was a special incantation that could only be made by a full werewolf.

Suddenly, my image in the mirror began to rotate, slowly but gradually. Simultaneously, I began transforming into a full werewolf. My hands gradually turned to claws, fingers transforming into digital pads, my clothes dropping on the floor. A tail emerged from my behind, guard hairs spuring forth my skin surface. My ears transformed, providing sharp fronts. I howled and growled, hitting my chest with my hands. I was truly disturbed.

The mirror continued to portray my original human appearance. It kept rotating my image, getting faster by the turn. Suddenly, a vast entrance was created at the center of the mirror, seemingly leading to endless infinity. Then I saw clouds forming inside the mirror, thunder bolts too. Suddenly, three witches walked out.

They had long, wild and unkept hairs with tangled locks. They were adorned with twigs all round, having tattooed skins showing different symbols connecting supernatural worlds.

They moved in circles, laughing loud and touching the mirror in a weird manner. Their fingers were ash as they clapped hands with each other, laughing louder and behaving unnatural. I was used to seeing all these, for I lived and grew up with a witch before conquering the former Alpha of my pack, conquering all the neighbouring packs and crowning myself the Supreme Alpha of the continent.

"Why do you bother us?" "Speak my boy? hahahahaha!!!" " "He's craving immortality, hahahaha!!!" they all said this simultaneously, harmonizing it with their bass voice and high pitched laughter.

"I summoned you, I need to ....." I tried to say, but I was cut short.

"You want to manipulate the mortal Kyle," "Not so?" "He's craving immortality!!! " they all said again simultaneously, filling each breath of theirs with laughter.

"Yes!!! I want to be Immortal, I don't ask for much, do I? Thousands of wolves and hybrid have been used for sacrifice, Alphas and kings not spared, but I'm still getting old!!! " I replied, angry at their natural jest of me. "Hahahahaha....." "The mortal is troubled...." "Immortality is what he craves......" they replied, still moving in a surprisingly perfect circle.

"You must summon the Great witch, she alone can perform the final sacrifice" " She alone," "Immortal mortality.... hahahaha," they added.

"I've combed through the breadth and depth of the natural world, conquering land and sea alike, yet she's not been found. I need you to help me replace her, is that too much to seek?"

"Is that too much to seek?" "Yes it is!!!" "Immortality..... hahaha!!!! " they replied, making little sense.

"I ask you to summon her, I'll give it all I've got. Thousands of heads, hybrids!!!!! whatever it takes. Summon her.... fàllò!!!" I commanded, trying hard to maintain my desperation.

"fàllò.... hahahaha," "He commands us, fàllò... hahaha, ""no, mortal, the Great Witch does not respect sacrifices or rituals, you must replace her, "

Suddenly, they stopped in front of me. They spread their hands, simultaneously moving very close to each other, then a bright light appeared from their hands, to bright that I had to use my claws to shade my eyes from it. They were transforming, in order to pass the last message.

Opening my eyes, they were already affixed at the same spot, their body turned into one but their heads still separate.

The head in the middle spoke, "Your hands we wish to see close to us,"

I stretched forth my hands to them, still agitated. They held it, dropping a tiny bottle on it.

"You are close to Kyle.... Yes you are...... A way must you replace to pour the content of this bottle on his head," "You must replace him in 3 fortnights, and you must not be caught, or you'll be to weak to fight against him," " And he shall kill the immortal mortal..... hahahaha, the immortal mortal, hahaha!!!" they talked and laughed, simultaneously.

"Finally, a little helping hand," I muttered, closing my claws on the bottle.

"Till you're dead, we shall meet again, mortal hahahaha," the lead head said as they walked back to the mirror, disintegrating at the entrance and flying in. I turned back to the mirror, gradually turning back into my human form. Slowly, the mirror got back in shape, becoming once again still, showing my human face.

I rubbed my moustache, "Hmm, not bad...not bad at all,"

I walked back to my bed, picked up my pillow and returned what I brought out of it and the bottle, zipping it.

Pacing the room, I reflected on what I was told to do by the witches.

"I must do this, personally," I concluded.

David's POV

'How could she? how could she spell bound me, making me mate her?' all these thoughts ran through my head as I stormed home.

I knocked thrice, then the door was unbolted.

"Welcome Dave," Naomi said, touching my chest seductively. I suddenly lost all the nerves and will to confront her.

"Hey, Naomi," I replied softly, her influence at work again.

"Where have you been? I was beginning to be worried," she said, her hand still on my chest.

"Not to worry about that, I'm here now," I replied. She gave way for me, dragging me inside, holding my hands. I lost total control of the situation. Then suddenly, I looked away from her kiss provoking lips. I found my voice.

Naomi, there's something I need to talk to you about," I said, still avoiding her eyes.

"David," she called seductively,

"I'm all ears," she said, tracing her hands on my nipples. I moved backwards.

"I've got to ask you this...." I couldn't muster enough courage to confront her.

"The baby moved today," she said, changing the topic.

"Wow, that's good to hear," I replied, still trying to spill out what's on my mind. "Did you cast a spell on me?" I managed to ask, bluntly.
