Chapter hundred and forty : Truth 2

"You are a beast mistress. Ask the right question?" 

"Is my mother alive?" Jamie asked again.

"No but she is still in this world. She is closer than you think. Ask the right question?"

"I don't know the right question!" Jamie yelled at her.

****

Alexander and his crew rode for a long time. With the speed they were going, Alexander thought they would have reached her but Jamie was nowhere in sight. 

Even as they got to the river leading to the isle of the blessed and got down from the horse. 

Deep down Alexander knew something was wrong. He felt it but he couldn't prove it.

If Janessa made it to the river then where was her horse. 

"Something is wrong!" Alexander said out loud. 

He turned around and walked away from the river to look for her in the bush surrounding them.

"Janessa!" He whispered under his breath like she was close by and he was scolding her.

His nostrils flared like a curious antelope and with his jaw thrust forward like it was now, he was ready for battle.

"She may have crossed the river" Walters suggested but the people he was with disagreed with him.

"She didn't. Her scent is not here" Semeen told him.

"Luna never made it here" Blake explained further.

"Luna?" Walters asked, confused.

"Just like she is Queen to you, she is Luna to us. She is the Alpha's mate" Semeen explained further.

Walters cleared his throat, it seems like whenever he came close to understanding another thing pops up and he starts afresh.

"Alpha?"

"Our leader....a leader of a pack of werewolves is called Alpha. King Alexander is also Alpha..."

"Stop explaining my secrets to him, Semeen!" Alexander roared from where he stood "You don't even know whether Walters has a big mouth or not and there you go welcoming him into the pack!" 

Alexander was transferring his anger to something he could control and away from Janessa's disappearance.

Semeen was confused. What was there to hide? The knight knows about everything.

"Do you not trust him?" Blake asked him.

"Of course, I do. He is my shadow! But you don't know that now, do you?" 

Alexander exploded on Blake too. He was on the edge of razorsharp panic over his wife's whereabouts.

"We will find her your highness" Walters said and joined in the search.

A feeling Alexander couldn't shake made him search deeper into the bush. A feeling he couldn't shake. Like someone or something was deliberately calling out to him to come find them.

Alexander wandered away from the rest of the crew until he came across a horse and by the side of the horse was the woman he loved. She was unconscious.

Color drained from his already pale face as he raced to pick her up. He almost succeeded but just like wildfire he could help but listen to the voice of the woman in red as she lures her into the same place as Jamie.

Alexander fell asleep next to his Queen.

Alexander found himself in a barren land and the only tree within distance was the oak tree. Then he heard Jamie's voice and took off on a run.

"Janessa! Janessa!" He called out to her as he tried to get to her.

Jamie turned around when she heard his voice.

"What Is he doing here?" Jamie asked the woman in red angrily.

Jamie knew how much the woman loved to play games, she must have a hand with Alexander being here.

"Did you invade his head like you did mine?"

Jamie asked in quick succession.

The woman looked frightened and surprised.

"You are taking over my creation. But it's not possible!" The woman whispered to herself and then she turned to Jamie

"I don't have that kind of power to bring a werewolf into my mind but you do, Jamie. You drew him here, your connection to him must be stronger than I imagined. Stop it! Stop taking over my creation. You are in my head, Jamie!"

The woman in red was panicked.

Alexander was close now. He grabbed her and without thinking, he shook her in anger.

"Why are you always trying to get yourself killed? Why are you always running from me, not towards me?" Alexander yelled at her.

"Alex..."

"We had one little argument and I come back and you were gone. What shall I do with you?" Alexander was planning on calming down anything soon.

"Alexander, stop" Jamie whispered 

And suddenly Alexander stopped. He took his hands off of her. It was like he was under a spell. He couldn't control his actions.

"Why did I stop shaking you?" Alexander asked her 

"Because you were hurting me?" Jamie reminded him.

"No. I didn't make myself stop" Alexander looked confused.

"He can't disobey you here, mistress. Seems like you have all the power over both of us" The woman in red said in defeat.

"What the bloody hell is a beast mistress?" Jamie asked her.

"A rare breed of white witches capable of bending the will of the most terrifying beasts of earth. They are basically monster controllers...very rare. Beth was one. She was rumoured to be the last of her kind" Red answered.

"I don't understand! What is she saying?" Alexander asked her.

Jamie was confused herself. "I think she basically just called me a witch"

Alexander wondered whether the woman was telling the truth. "Are you sure? Maybe you are mistaken"

The woman in red moved closer to Alexander and walked around him in a circle. Alexander moved her movement with his eyes.

"It's getting more difficult right?"

"I don't know what you are talking about" Alexander feigned ignorance.

"There is only so much your will power and the power of love can do, your highness…. only so little. Sooner or later, you will run…"

Alexander grabbed her shoulder tightly "Stop. Talking!" He said between his clenched jaw.

"Do you think you can hide it from the mistress forever? Sooner than you think everyone will know, everyone will see" Red kept taunting him.

Alexander looked guilty like he was caught with his hands in a cookie jar.

Jamie was confused. She was still trying to wrap her head around the fact that she was, how did red phrase it again? A beast mistress...a white witch.

Every story she read or was read to her told her that witches were bad. Does it mean she was bad?

She was still trying to wrap her head around it and now red was taunting her husband and he was about to lose it.

"What are you talking about?" Jamie asked both of them.

Red smiled while Alexander kept quiet and looked away.

"Alexander?" Jamie whispered and touched his hand. "Talk to me, please" 

Red moved closer and whispered into Jamie's ear.

"It's getting…"

Alexander decided that Jamie should hear the truth from him.

"The voices are getting louder and Max is getting more restless. He is becoming more aware" Alexander told her.

Jamie was confused."I don't understand" 

"He is going mad!" Red declared and Alexander flashed an angry look at her.

Mad? Jamie turned and stared at him in horror.

Alexander decided to explain further.

"Because the curse separated my wolf and I, it's only a matter of time before I go completely mad and embark on a murder spree across Derkal. I will conquer nations and wreak havoc on everyone or everything standing between me and more power. I will be completely gone...dead. and without me, Max is just a wolf with the taste for power" Alexander refused to look Jamie in the eyes.

"And voices?" Jamie asked him.

"Voice is the first symptom that I am losing control. I mostly hear them at night and I do my best to keep my wolf calm when it starts. If I am right, soon I will start losing chunks of time followed by excessive need to hunt. Then I slowly slip away until oblivion and Max takes over. When that happens, it will only be a matter of time before he regresses in to murderous beast"

Jamie stared at him with wide horrified eyes.

"You must be in a lot of pain, king Alexander and your ability to carry it seemed extraordinary" Red shrugged and said.

Jamie shook her head. She won't give up on him. She will find a way to save him.

"Can I stop him from going mad?"

"Yes" Red answered "you can completely raise his curse and permanently merge the two or separate them permanently if you choose too" 

"Can she separate Max and I?" Alexander asked and looked at the woman in Red.

"Not by choice...if she is accepting of both of you when she fixes you then she will remove the curse but if not, she separates the beast from the man permanently. Your wolf go mad like intended and eventually dies but you will be alright, your highness"

Alexander took a step back.

"I am not losing Max. I won't abandon my Wolf to carry the curse"
