Chapter 48

Erik's POV.

"Mom, I can't understand Avery again." I told my mom who looked at me with an uninterested look.

"Mom...I'm talking to you."

Avery's behavior is truly odd, sometimes she acts all sweet and beautiful but other times...she has this attitude I can't even explain.

"Let me concentrate on the portion I'm making, sweetie, I'll be done soon." She answered and went back to mixing whatever she's mixing.

Being a scarlet witch, my mom is so sure of herself, she believes she can achieve anything with her magical powers. I guess that's why she's not so worried about Avery's odd behavior.

Whenever Shannon complains about it, she brushes the issue aside, she is hundred percent sure that Avery would choose me to be her mate.

I know my mom is a very powerful witch and her powers are like none I've ever seen before although such powers come with great cost.

I wouldn't classify it as anything great because the lives that were lost were worthless anyway.

They were lives of lesser creatures and their absence won't be missed.

My mom doesn't care about the lives that would be lost to acquire the powers she craves.

Growing up, my mom would use wolves from our pack but it was becoming more and more dangerous which was why I suggested going out to get them.

Her powers increased immensely and I and Shannon got our little shares too.

I possess some abilities that no werewolves possess. I feel really good to have such powers.

And the funniest yet scary thing about the whole thing is that I always crave for more powers.

"Get me that plant Erik." My mom's voice interrupted my thoughts.

I look towards the direction of her finger, there are many plants there.

"Which one exactly?"

"The one that looks like a woman's lips." She described it and I laughed.

"Hot lips plant?" I asked,just to be sure.

"Bring it here and quit playing around, I need this portion as soon as possible." She scolded me and I brought the plant to her.

"Thank you, love." She said, grabbing the plant from me.

My mother is forever strange.

I know who the portion was for.

I look at my mother, she's a unique woman.

She has her endless flaws but she loves me a lot, I'm very sure about that.

She wishes to end the late Alpha's lineage for the reason best known to her alone but I think she wants some sort of vengeance.

I asked her a few times but she warned me to stay clear of her issues for now.

I listened to her and never asked her again, I'll benefit greatly anyway... I'll get to be the alpha of this great pack.

I'll rule thousands of wolves. The scarlet witch in my blood intensifies my greed for power and domination.

Being a hybrid is like a blessing to me, I get the Alpha title and I have magical powers at my call.

My only problem and source of worry is Avery, the girl is just a chameleon who changes color at will.

I haven't figured out yet what's wrong with her but I will, I just have to get closer to her. That will do the trick.

I looked around the underground room that my mom turned into a cave, it was spooky and the smell was spookier.

My dad is under my mom's control, no matter what happened in the pack or what evil my mom did, my dad would forever support her.

That's how powerful her dark magic is. I've never seen my dad say no to her, she always has her way in most things.

She manipulates him to pressure the late Alpha about Avery choosing me as his mate.

My dad is just a puppet in my mom's hands and that's exactly how I want Avery to be in my hands.

It's so much easier than waiting for the silly bitch to fall in love with me.

But using black magic on Royal blood isn't such a piece of cake because they are more protected by the moon goddess.

They are special traits, mom had told me it wasn't easy to get my dad under her command but due to some dark ancient practice, it was done... So I had hopes, nothing is impossible with the right payment.

"Hey!" I heard my mother yell.

"Yes mom." I answered looking tired.

I'm not tired physically but I'm sexually frustrated by Avery.

"What the hell is going on in your mind that you turned deaf ears to my calling?" She asked, peering at me.

"Nothing mom, Avery just occupied my mind. She's becoming the cause of my worries." I explained and mom gave a little hiss.

"Are you in love with her?" She asked with a little chuckle.

"No! I'm not in love with her, I'm more in love with the power she possesses. I want that power mom, I have so much plan for this pack and other packs. But the bitch isn't allowing me access to her, any attempt by me is thwarted from every direction." I vent out my frustration and my mom chuckles.

She never takes me seriously, she's more of action than words.

Avery had been so sweet and down to earth to me even before that party.

Then that bloody servant came and interrupted us. I could have killed that girl but I had to control my temper.

"You should be lucky I saved your ass from the embarrassment you could have landed yourself at the party. I always told you to control your fucking drinking habit but nah, you allowed it to get in to your head." She scoffed at me and stood up to pack the portions in a bottle.

True to her words, mom had indeed saved my bloody ass, I couldn't help it.

Dancing with Avery had gotten me so hard that I couldn't help but think of a possible way to have my strong dick deep inside her wet hot cunt.

That was my mission that evening, I wanted to claim her as mine sexually. The girl's body is so tempting that the mere thought of her seductive body got me real hard.

Her flirtrous words was a double turn on and I didn't know when I began to gulp down alcohol like water.

My mom dragged me out of there heavily drunk and so fucking horny.

All I wanted was Avery had Avery alone.

No other woman entice me like her, not even Shannon.

I love Shannon deeply, but I love Avery's body all the same.

I couldn't have Avery that night but I handled Shannon in the most monstrous way possible, I had sex her so bad that I could remember her cries as I drove relentlessly into her from different directions.

It's so sad that through out the mad sexual adventure with her, all I could see wasn't her face but Avery's.

"You need to control your sexual hunger for her or she might use it against you some day, the girl isn't as dumb and naive as we termed her to be, she's pretty smart herself."

"I know mom, but she isn't beyond our reach, I've decided to take it easy with her but if she proves hard to get, I'll have to go on her the hard way." There was an evil smirk on my face and my sex hardened when I thought of how I'm gonna tie her and take her the hard way.

"Darling, you need to chill and stop being so hard on yourself and her, she'll come around. I'm sure she'll come around, we just need to take it slow. You have the support of the elders of the pack and some others, that's enough for now."

"Mom, what if she doesn't come around?" There was some hint of worry in my voice.

It's something to worry about,the girl is tormenting my dreams.

"There are many ways to catch and break some one, I'm sure she has a weakness too...we'll use it on her." She said with a crook smile.

Avery does have a weakness and that's her step sister, Shannon. She's willing to do anything for her and Shannon always takes advantage of it.

Though she's currently complaining about how hard she finds it to control her emotions but I'm sure Avery is having an aftermath of her parents demise.

She'll come around soon.

Even if she doesn't come around, there are different ways to make her.

She's just a young girl, not yet experienced In most things. Manipulation would be easy for her.

"Get your horny self out of this place. You smell of sex, go control that urge or I'll be forced to make a portion to stop that thing from standing for some time."

"No way mom, I'll do something about it. Bye."

I rush out of the room, the only two women I want to have now is Avery and her personal help.

I'm just wondering how come I never notice that girl before.
