You Kissed My Soul
Chapter 56

Dylan Pov

“You are running too fast!” I told Black as he leaped over the thin stream of the river, passing therocks he jumped and sprinted back into woods.

“I am no mood to talk human!” he said in his animal beasty tone.

I sighed and tried once more “Slow down already! It's been an hour since you are running. Slowdown a little!” I told. My wolf seemed agitated due to the loss of his mate and some wolves fromour kind.

“Look I understand what you are feeling right now but you need to understand that we can't loseour mind at this time. You are exhausting yourself and at the same time, you are exhausting me too.Listen to me! I miss Aderyn too! Hell! I want to die right now but that's not the solution. She wouldhave been so angry seeing our condition. Try to understand. If we want her safe we must control ouremotions. So, calm down! Running and exhausting yourself won't help the situation. We needenergy. We need it for our love, mate Aderyn” I tried to make him understand.

“It all happened because of me! I am weak!" he growled with his ears down.

“Stop blaming yourself!” I argued.

“Shut up! You won't understand human!” he growled in annoyance.

“Don't talk to me like that Black! You are testing my limits now!” I charged at him.

“Me? Actually, it was you. Everything happened because of you!” he stopped in the middle of thewoods barring his teeth and bobbing his head.

“What did you just say? How dare you to talk to me like that Black? Are you forgetting yourposition?” I retorted back.

"Oh shut up! If you weren't so weak as a human then my mate would have been here! She wastaken right before your eyes. What did you do? Nothing!” his remark angered me.

“My eyes are your eyes too! You are within me! What could you do? Nothing! And what did youmean by “my mate’? She is our mate!" I growled at him when he barred his teeth hunching his backat me.

“Fine! I lost to this conversation. I am sorry!” he sat on the ground and put his head down on thegrassy ground.

I sighed inwardly. “Why am I even fighting with him?” I thought and heard Black whined and closedhis eyes.

“I am sorry too! Black try to understand! We will replace her. Have faith in me. On us” I said but hedidn't reply.

"Black?"

"Black?"

"BLACK!"

"What?" he growled in annoyance.

"When did you start to talk so much? I want that old quite Dylan back. You are giving me aheadache!” he complained.

“Umm does wolves have headaches too?” I questioned even more to annoy him.

“I understood it today!” he said all of a sudden

"What?" I questioned confused by his sudden statement.

"Why they used to say that “mate changes you’ you have changed! You show emotions a lot nowafter Aderyn has come into our life. But most annoyingly you talk too much now!” he complained."What? Oh well, it is good right?” I questioned amused by him.

"Oh Please! I beg you! Please shut up!” he cried as he got on his four legs and walked towards thehouse.

"Hey Black!" I continued to annoy him while he walked back towards the house.

“What now?" he asked irritated.

“Do you trust me?” I asked. I knew I was asking absurd questions but it was my only tactics. Hewould completely destroy himself thinking about Aderyn if I didn't divert his mind somewhere else."What type of question is this? How did your brain get infected so badly? Is this how you humanturn up when you are in love?” he questioned.

“Nope! Answer my question! Don't try to change the subject! Do you trust me or not?” I questionedwhile he rolled his eyes on me.

“No!” he said and sprinted back towards the house.

I stood there in the middle while the witches surrounded me and stood few feets away from me asthe chanted their mantras. They made me stand in the middle of a ritual circle to provide me energyand protection. They told me that lately after Aderyn has been taken I have not been in control ofmy own body. As my wolf remains anxious all the time he takes over my body whenever he wants.The human side of me seems weak for which the witches are going to perform magic over my bodywhich would give strength to my human side so that I could have Black in control. He knows aboutall this and he isn't even protesting against all this because he himself knows what destruction hecan cause when he has the control over my body.

The witches came out with this to replace Aderyn. They told me that after giving energy to my body,they will use the mate bond to replace Aderyn. If I had the strength and energy, my mate bond willgrow stronger for which they will use their magic to locate Aderyn. They said that they wentthrough their ancestor's book of magic to replace out about this and this was the first time ever theywere going to do this. I stood shirtless in the middle of the circle of candles, with my eyes closed as Iwaited patiently for them to perform their magic. It was little disturbing to my sensitive earsbecause each one of them was chanting their own different mantras loudly. And then, it beganwhen I opened my eyes.

"I, Cynthia Ryle shall guide you to begin your magic. We shall perform one by one with each ofchanting our names twelve times to process the magic” she said and the other witches raised theirhands towards me and closed their eyes. A halogen light formed on their hands and I watched themall performing the magic on me.

"I, Pearsyvia Wings shall give you the power to boost your senses,” she said and a wave of light hitme hard on my face which made me scream in pain as I threw my head back and screamed out as Ifelt my eyes watering and my claws digging out of my skin painfully. Then I felt something wrappingaround both of my hands and I hard to look to see what it was to replace out what looked like theroots of a tree penetrating from the ground and circling around my hands as if to hold me in theplace. It was so tight and whenever I moved it tightens its hold on me.

"I, Cyreanna Nox shall give you my power to see a vision of the moments that will happen just afterfive minutes” ray of light penetrated through me and I knelt down due to the pain I felt. My bodyheated up and my canine teeth barring out of my mouth. I felt blood on my cheeks as my eyesglowed up with a red light and I could no longer see anything. I was blind. The roots tightened evenfurther on my hands holding me in place.

"I, Estelle Helliot shall give you the power to move as fast as the wind and vanish into thin air.”

“I, Amber Sueffer and my twin” she stopped and her twin sister spoke “Venus Sueffer” and then theyboth chanted in unison “shall give you the power to control your abilities.”

“I, Phoenix Hunter is privileged to give you the power to control the element of fire,” she said andeven though I already had the power to control the element beforehand I felt the enormousamount of energy building up inside me when the light hit my body. I was pleased when sheshowed up saying that she will join the war and help me against her daughter. She had proved herloyalty two times and I was pleased as well as saddened that she had to stand once again againsther daughter.

“I, Hilda Razor shall give you the power to our King, Black Bishop to have the power to build up ashield for the war companions against the enemies.”

“l, Medusa Vex and my sister” she paused for her sister “I, Clarissa Vex" then both of them continuedin unison “shall give you the power to use your werewolf claws against silver to protect yourcompanions against your enemies.”

“I, Annika Laire shall give you the energy to withstand pain and loss in the war.”

“I, Cynthia Nox shall give you the energy to fight against the evil and search for your mate in thewar.” with that rays after rays of light hit me on my body. I felt my muscles flexing, and my bodyshapeshifting. Black was taking over my body but I didn't allow it because the human side of mewas stronger than him now. Both of us fought with each other to take over the body. Black furpopped out of my skin all over my body, my canine teeth barred out even further elongating morethan its original size, claws tore my skin apart before digging out forcibly elongated more than itsoriginal side. The power in my body was enormous. I had never so alive beforehand. My jeans toreapart as the muscles in my thigh flexed further. My power increased so much that I even tore theroots that were holding me in my place apart.

I opened my eyes slowly when everything was over. My vision was incredible. It looked as if I wasstanding much taller to everyone as if my height increased. I could even see a needle like a dent orhole in the world. My vision had incredibly increased. As I panted and huffed out air because of thepower and the force my body has to go through during the rites, I looked down to be amazed bymy body.

I was half human and half werewolf now. I looked like a Lycan possibly, I was a Lycan now. I hadwolves hind legs and I stood on two legs with a wolf and half human like hand with sharp razor-likeelongated claws. My hearing senses had increased. I felt my ears twitching in all distance and I couldhear heart beats inside the room. It should be twelve including mine so why was I hearing thirteenthone?

I looked over and followed the sound and my eyes fell on a frog in the corner of the room just atthe side of the door.

“Black?” I called my wolf in my mind.

“Yes, I am over here!” he replied.

"Feel the energy?” I asked overwhelmed by the power.

“Love the energy!” he replied in enthusiastic.

“What are we waiting for? Let's get our mate back! Shall we?” I asked and he howled in response. Iflexed my body and throwing my head backward I howled like a wolf, our voice penetrating past thewalls of the room. The pitch was so high that I bet that even a mere insect miles away from mykingdom could hear my howl.

It was time for the war.
