Chương 100: Awakening (1)

Author's note: This is from Duke's point of view

I could feel the antidote burning its way through my veins and when it settled in my abdomen, I used all that was left of my will not to scream. I didn't want Serina to worry.

I told her that I was ready.

This is what I wanted.

I can't show weakness. 

I don't think it lasted long, but it felt like centuries by the time the burning subsided and another presence stirred inside me.

It was weird. There were random thoughts, feelings, confusion, and it was not mine.

'Hello…', I called in my mind. 'Hello?'

Serina told me that my wolf will be able to hear my thoughts like I'm talking to him, and I hoped to hear a response, a bark, a growl, something… there was nothing.

But then something yanked me back, almost like a punch in the gut, but there was no pain, only dizziness.

When I came around, I was moving, but I couldn't control it. What the hell?
