Love Potion II

Astrid's Point of View

Next day, Margaux heard that they have a dinner celebration at the Alpha Gregory’s mansion together with Atasha. This confirms that they truly intended this plan all along. They wanted to put Alpha Gregory in a far distance and I’m sure that it was all fabricated. Especially what Veronica did by telling Alpha that there are rogues attacking the East Land. It was nonsense. Alpha Gregory trusted her daughter so much that he lost his sanity.

“So what would be our next move since we got the love potion? Do I go ahead and reached out to Elijah then gave him a drink?”

“No not yet, we would like to see the effect first to Joshua for the first week. Let’s wait and see if he would still in love with me. As long as I kept receiving these love poems from him then it means it’s working. I would like you also to get information about Joshua.”

“Yes, I heard that he was acting normal ever since that he got that potion drink from you. However, he kept asking me if how you’ve been and if he always give this letters to you.”

“That’s great Margaux. Now, since they’re busy celebrating of Alpha Gregory disappearance, what are they exactly up to?”

“They would train Atasha to be a Luna that’s what I heard from Zach last time we met.”

“I see, so they use this time and opportunity to train Atasha so the next time that Alpha’s back in the territory. Atasha could answer the exam and she’s ready to be the luna. Pathetic.”

I threw the bag of letters that Joshua sent to me to the ground with frustration.

“Astrid, calm down! This was all part of the plan right? We also benefit on this.”

I came back to my senses. Margaux was right, now that Atasha the cursed wolf had contact to the Montreals. It looks like the prophecy started. Alpha Gregory was now far away to the Crimson Moon Pack. It potentially the start of their crisis that they no longer have an Alpha here. I can now began to sneak in and work my way up to this pack.

So I was wrong at the beginning that Atasha should marry Elijah or Zach Montreal. I could easily have Margaux marry Elijah for her to be happy and while me I could have Zach and assign him as a pack leader.

But something feels not right and I don’t know why.

“Astrid, you’re okay now?”

“I guess, I need to go back to my room. I want to sleep.”

I didn’t want to sleep and I just lied.  There’s something that was off that I couldn’t explain. When I read the book from the witches. The prophecy was saying that the cursed wolf would end up the Montreal’s bloodline if she got contact with them. It wasn’t clear what kind of contact with the Montreal if it was by touch or by being together. But I remember that there was one passage that there was an interpretation of me that it should be the cursed werewolf that would marry the montreal.

I carry this throughout my journey that Atasha should marry a Montreal. I don’t know where it came from but it was my interpretation for some moments that I read that book. Because for me it would kill the bloodline it means if they bear pups the pups are cursed.

I sighed deeply as of this moment thinking that my plans are shifted without me even realizing it. Now that I met Margaux and Zach. It changed. Margaux has now become also important to me that I would like her to marry Elijah then now I met Zach, I want him for me. I like him and I wanted to be his wife.

Though no one can replace Alex, I know he wanted me to be happy. Besides, Zach is only my tool for me to be the Luna of this pack.

My headache and my eyes starting to blur and a vision of my the dark lord starting to shows up.

“Stop, please stop!”

Various laughter and whispers was heard in my ears. I covered in my sheets of blanket tying to stop hearing them. These hallucinations I have was being more strange especially when I’m alone. That’s why I now preferred having Margaux to my side. It was bearable at first but now it became worst and worst.

Margaux then opened the door of my room and began to embraced me tightly.

“Astrid, why are you trying to kill yourself?”

“What? I didn’t…”

I then saw my hand holding the scissors full of blood. I felt my throat was heating up in pain and also my wrist.

The bed sheets was full of blood and I saw Margaux calling the pack doctor. She was crying and holding me tight.

“Astrid, I know it’s a difficult journey for the both of us, but please hang on. Don’t kill yourself. I don’t want to lose another important person on my life.”

“I don’t want to kill myself Margaux. I truly don’t want to. I was just hallucinating and the next thing I know you went inside to this room.”

“You’re screaming in pain so I rushed to your room.”

“I didn’t felt any pain earlier.”

The pack doctor went inside then began to treat my wounds. I glanced at the scissor and I also remember that I didn’t bring that here inside of this room. My heart was pounding fast and my chest was in pain.“Margaux, ready yourself because you’re facing now a terrible fate with me,”

She glanced at me even more worried on what I said. She then told the pack doctor to ensure that my wounds are treated properly.

I became to realize with all of this in happening around me by having these hallucinations and me trying to kill myself just like what Melanie did to herself. I came to realize that I perhaps the cursed werewolf that would end up marrying a Montreal and end their bloodline.
