: Takeover Astridâs POV Ashaâs terrified screams pierced my ears as I blacked out for a moment. I couldnât see anything, nor did I know what was happening.
I have lost control of myself, like I was trapped inside my own body.
âAstrid STOP!!! You are going to kill her!â Nova yelled at me, but I had no idea why she was shouting for me to stop.
Panic started to set in as I struggled to get out of myself. I clawed desperately at the boundaries of my consciousness, fighting for control over my body.
My wolf had never done something like this before, blocking me from full control over my human body, including my other senses. All that was left of me was my sense of hearing.
Usually, in werewolves, the human side should always have higher human control over the human form, just like how the wolf side has higher control over their wolf form.
I donât know how my wolf managed to take full control over my human body, trapping me and keeping me from taking over.
âLyra⦠Lyra stop. What are you doing?â I spoke to my wolf.
Lyra hadnât appeared to me for months, and now she just suddenly appeared and took over my body.
âStop blocking me! Thatâs my form. You cannot do this until I shift into my wolf form.â I tried to make her listen to me.
Fear gripped me when I felt something bad from my wolf. That dark desire of shedding blood, that strong killing intent.
âLyra! Lyra, stop!â I yelled at her as I hurriedly tried my best to claw out of the place where she had trapped me, blocking me from everything.
Her emotions and her dark desires werenât something she wanted me to see. However, it was too strong at it leaked into the little space of connection that I still have with her.
Even though she had blocked me of all control and of most of my senses, she couldnât fully block me from everything because I was technically still a part of her.
I froze when a magnificent silver wolf appeared in front of me. My wolf, Lyra, is just a small wolf with a coat of dirty brown fur, but the wolf that stood in front of me is a magnificent creature that Iâve never encountered before.
âWhereâs Lyra?â I asked as I wondered who this silver was and why she was inside my body.
The silver wolf didnât answer. She just stared at me with that piercing golden gaze of hers that seemed to bore into my very soul Many questions filled my head as the silver wolf just stood there staring at me. âWhere did you come from?â I breathed, scarcely daring to move a muscle since I believe it wasnât Lyra who took full control of my body. It was this wolf in front of me.
The silver wolf regarded me silently for a long moment, its powerful muscles rippling beneath its thick, lustrous coat.
Then, without warning, it just turned around to leave.
âWhere are you going? Wait! What did you do to Lyra?â I tried to shout after her, hoping that she would at least talk to me until she disappeared, leaving me alone and utterly captivated.
Suddenly, the invisible confines that restrained me were lifted. As I swam back to my consciousness, I finally gained back full control and sense of my body.
My eyes widened when I opened my eyes and saw Asha with blood dripping out of her mouth.
I was straddling on top of her hips, pressing her to the ground with one arm raised to attack her.
Ashaâs head was turned to the side. Sheâs holding her breath, and her eyes are closed as she waits for me to hit her.
âAstrid! Please, donât kill her!â Nova shouted, making me turn my attention to her.
She is standing by my side with fear in her eyes. As I turned to look at her, I noticed that my raised hand was actually holding a huge and heavy rock.
I gasped in fear, making me drop the rock I was holding to the ground. I jumped back and crawled backward when I realized what I was doing.
That rock! If I wasnât able to stop myself, I would have bashed that rock on Ashaâs head and killed her Asha hurriedly stood back up and distanced herself from me. With fear and anger in her eyes, she yelled at me. âYou tried to kill me!â
I shook my head as I held myself with trembling hands. I didnât try to kill her. I donât even know what happened.
Ashaâs hair was disheveled, and it looked like I had attacked her so badly because of her bruises and the blood coming out of her cut lip.
âYouâre a murderer!â she shouted at the top of her lungs.
With werewolves living in this Pack, they would have surely heard her with their special hearing.
âLady Asha, is everything all right?â A Pack guard came in a hurry to check on us âShe!â Lady Asha immediately pointed at me. âShe tried to kill me.
Nova instantly ran to my side. âAstrid,â she whispered her name with her brows wrinkled together. âAstrid, what happened to you,â she asked me softly.
I couldnât speak. Iâm still overridden with fear.
That silver wolf that appeared to me earlier was the one who took over my body. I couldnât forget how much she wanted to kill Asha earlier and how it was so easy for him to block me out of my body.
At that moment, I was truly afraid I was afraid that something like this would happen again, and I might not be able to go back to my body on time.
