114. Tyson
Epilogue
Tyson
I had come around the air felt different, more charged. “Hello, my human, remember me?” I remembered that deep dark voice. It was Cain, my wolf. “So, you do. I am glad. Shall we start our killing spree now?” He asked. I shuttered at the idea. I knew I was supposed to be a man at this point, but I didn’t feel like it. I felt like a child. How had my mother done this, how had she lived with this?
I knew she was only half shifter but me. No, I was full, and I had a full-sized alpha draco wolf inside me. “We are not killing anyone in this pack. It is not happening.” I snapped at my own wolf. He darkly laughed. Was this what possession was like, it seemed like it at least from the movies I watched. “Come on now, power is fun, you can make people do what you want whenever you want. We are alphas it is our right to have those below us kneel before us.” This wolf was delusional.
“No, that is not what being an alpha is about. You are supposed to help those you are in charge of. Help them not subject them.” I was just starting to feel a little better when a surge shot through me. My limps hurt. “You will shift and kill the alpha and those in competition.” Cain was trying to take control. I was fighting it. But every second pain was getting worse. “No, no, no” My leg broke and I screamed. “Tyson you are okay.” I heard my mother's voice. I opened my eyes which had clamped shut. She was standing over me. Her small pale hands running along my cheek, they were cool against my burning flesh.
“Baby you can’t fight it, just shift.” She spoke. She was not serious was she? Did she not know what Cain wanted? She nodded but I couldn’t do it, I didn’t want to kill my family for this sick wolf who lived inside me. I yelled out as my spine snapped breaking. “Fuck, I hate this.” My mom said and moved to my ribs and punched them hard breaking a few and then she did it over and again and then the pain was gone and so was my control. I could see her in front of my wolf Cain. She was standing there looking at him and I could hear him snarling.
“I am going to quite literally bite her head off. What do you think, maybe eat it? Or is cannibalism too much?” I felt sick, I couldn’t throw up when he was in control and in wolf form. My mom looked calm though. Too calm through Cain’s eyes. “Fuck” Cain yelled down our bond. I felt his sting and three more. “I am going to kill them all mark my words.” He said and through his eyes I saw my father and grandfather. The world spined only for me to crash into darkness.
I was relieved. I was sedated and I knew it. I was happier in this state than being an insane murdered. I laid there just embracing the emptiness I was surrounded by. But that emptiness plunged into a weird red terrain. It was a forest but not like the green ones that surrounded my pack. This forest was different, it looked like it had been affected by a storm. All the trees were coated in liquid, but not water. It was blood. Every inch of where I was, was covered in thick blood.
There was a massive Black Wolf walking towards me and a chill ran up my spine. The wolf’s jaws didn’t open but I heard him speak to me. “Tyson, we need to have a little chat.” I wanted to tell him to fuck off, but maybe I should speak to him. “You are my wolf Cain?” I asked. “I am, and I want to talk and since we have nowhere to be considering our family has sedated us again, now is a good time.” I gulped.
“What do you want?” I asked the black wolf. He came and sat in front of me. This was the first time I had actually seen my wolf. He was a little larger than my father’s alpha wolf Axel. His coat shinny and black like my mothers, but the most prominent thing was his red eyes. I had never seen any wolf with red eyes. “I know our history, I know our mother is in line for the Draco Pack. I found it in your head.”
I swallowed. I remember when my mom and dad sat me and my brothers down and told us all about our history. It was a lot to take in. Mom also told us about the fact she had no plans and didn’t want us to reach out to the draco pack. “Yes, you are thinking about it now.” I nodded. “I want it. I want it all, if you do what I like to do, then I will let our family live.” I didn’t know what he meant.
“Tyson, I know you have felt me coming the last several months. You know the anger the draw to violence. And you like how it feels. You like the feeling of being powerful.” I wanted to deny it, but I did like how it felt to be the most powerful being. “My mom she fights the desires, of her wolf Kali.” Cain, my wolf, laughed darkly as I looked at him. “Kali, her wolf is not near as powerful as I am. She is a hybrid with human genes and werewolf. I am pure and so are you, you can thank our father for that.” I was silent.
“Also, your mother makes deals with Kali, you know it.” I did know that she told me of a few times the last several months leading up to my shift. “I am willing to do what Kali did for Lilith.” Okay, so he would make a deal with me. “What do you want exactly and what will I get?” I asked. I felt so stupid bartering with my wolf. My wolf, I should be the one calling the shots, but it seemed I couldn’t. “You will embrace me and let me be as beastly as I want.” “And in return what do I get?”
“No harm will come to Grey Crest Pack. I will never fight anyone in that pack, I will leave them in peace, and they will all be safe from me forever.” I looked around at the forest. “Does that mean we will kill?” I asked “Of course, I said beastly.” “What about rape? I will not sign on for that, my mother told me what her father did to her mom, I am not going to rape a woman.” Cain responded, “What if we want kids, most of the time our kind can’t have litters with other female shifters.”
“No deal if you want to rape, I am fucking out, I will let them sedate me every fucking day if I have to. They can chain us up or kill us I don’t care. Rape is the worst thing to do someone, murder is better than that.” “Fine, you may change your mind though, when you are older.”
I knew I wouldn’t. “So do we have a deal?” I thought. If this was what I would have to do then so be it but there was more to discuss. “No, I also don’t want forced shifts. I want to shift when I want to, you will not have that control, and I call the shots.” The Wolf snarled at me. “I want my thrill.” I smirked. “Cain I will let you bathe in blood, but I will choose when, who, and how often. And when I do pick someone to kill you can be as brutal as you want, you can do it slowly or fast. But I want to be in control, I don’t want to lose my sanity to you.” If a wolf could smirk, he would be doing it now.
“So, you plan to use me and build an empire but not drown in the blood lust?” He asked me. “Not exactly but I do have plans and to protect my family and pack.” Again, the dark laugh of Cain surrounded me. “This won’t be your pack for long, you do realize you will have to leave?” I nodded. I understood that, with what Cain needed, I knew I couldn’t be anywhere around here. I would need to go to some other place. I would need to make it clear to my family that they should never come looking for me and I wanted to be alone. “If you can keep me happy being in control you can have it,” “It is a deal”
It was done I was splashed back into darkness. When I opened my eyes, I was in my room. My arms where strapped down. Issac, my oldest brother, had his head resting on the wall as he sat in my lounge chair. “Issac.” I called out and my brothers eyes flew open. “Untie me.” I told him. “Tyson are you nuts; you may shift again and kill mom. You already tried to several times, or I don’t know me. But then again, I doubt you could.” I could feel Cain under my skin, and he shifted. But he was not forcing me to shift, but I could feel his agitation.
“Look where is mom and dad?” I asked. “Mom went with Dad to go get more sedatives, apparently Gramps only had a few for our first shift, just in case but they have already used all of them on you.” I nodded. “Great, untie me and help me get a pack together.” I said. “What?” He snapped. “Look you know mom makes deals with her wolf Kali, well I did the same with Cain. No one in the pack will be hurt by Cain, but I have to let him have his fun.” Issac mouth fell open. “So you will become an insane murderer who is lost to their wolf.” I shook my head. “No there is more than that to it, just untie me and help me.”
He went to untie me. “I don’t think you are making the right call.” He spoke. “It is how it has to be.” Issac pulled me into a tight hug. “You sure you want to leave?” He asked and I nodded. “Fine, let me get Darwin and we will help you, but again Tyson, I don’t like it.” I nodded. I got where he was coming from. Darwin appeared and the three of us rushed around, we all knew mom and dad would be back soon. We loaded into the truck and Issac took off down the road.
We drove for hours well off pack lands Darwin and Issac both trying to convince me otherwise. “We are far enough away Issac.” I said and he pulled over. “Can you at least call or something, so we know you are okay?” Darwin asked. I nodded, but didn’t know if I would. It felt weird getting out of the truck by the side of the road. Issac and Darwin got out as well hugging me tight. Telling me they would miss me and loved me. Begging me to come back when I saw reason or got control. I somehow knew that wouldn’t happen but nodded to them and tried to reassure them. Then I was alone on the side of the road. “What first partner?” Cain asked and a dark smirk filled my face. I knew exactly what we were going to do. “Want to take out a whole pack?” I asked.
