“No, I am the new Lord.”
Sebastian felt a sharp pain against his back, and what shocked him was how it affected him greatly. He wondered what kind of
weapon would give him such an excruciating pain!
When he turned to see who it was, he was mortified!
The man who stabbed him was his beloved godfather, the man whom he trusted the most, and the same man who had a hand in
raising him!
Gabriel Carnel.
“Why?” Sebastian asked, but before he could get a reply, he felt his entire body stiffened.
“What – what is in that blade?” He asked.
“Sebastian!” He heard his wife scream. “Ahh!”
“Alpha!”
“Luna!”

His warriors called, but the black and white werewolf threatened, “If you move, your alpha king and luna queen will die!”

Sebastian fell on his knees, still trying to fathom how a single blade could immobilize him this way. He looked up and was
shocked to find his wife also down on her knees, gasping for air.
He assumed whatever it was they had stabbed him with, they had pierced the same to his wife!
“What -what is happening to me?” Kate said.
Sebastian saw how Kate’s body was trembling. She fell to the ground, barely moving. He called, “Kate! Kate! What have you
done to my wife?”
He felt his hands were also shaking, as if tremors had taken over him. “What – what-”
“It’s called the golden serpent, found in the depths of Eswen’s seas,” Gabriel said. He stood before Sebastian, and his eyes
glowed in red as he revealed, “It is a secret venom unknown to all kinds, strong enough to deliver an unbearable pain, render a
winter- grey wolf weak and, eventually, unconscious.”

“If it’s strong enough to immobilize a winter-grey wolf, then certainly, strong enough to weaken the powerful alpha, Sebastian
Armstrong!” Gabriel revealed. “It was difficult, but we managed to get two snakes, enough to produce a few doses for you and
your wife.”
“Do you know how I discovered this poisonous serpent? It was documented in Queen Avery’s library,” Gabriel said triumphantly.
Sebastian’s godfather narrated what he uncovered, “One purebred, winter-grey wolf had explored the seas of Eswen with two
other warriors of his kind, only to be bitten by a golden serpent. With the venom directly punctured into his veins, he lost

consciousness underwater. The said winter-grey wolf died because his colleagues could not bring him to shore in time to find out
what happened to him.”
“I simply put the royal guard on the watch to sleep while I uncovered all the secrets held by the winter-grey wolves. They
protected this discovery with utmost secrecy to prevent any potential exploitation. Haha!” Gabriel remarked. “It seems they aren’t
as elusive as they believed!”
“Well, with the exception of Queen Avery and those who inherited her powers, Kate was fortunate not to have inherited the same
abilities. Otherwise, this plan would have been unsuccessful,” Gabriel explained.
“Why? Why! You were like a father to me!” Sebastian screamed.
“Why? Because you are the key, I will use you to attack Taplean and the other nations!” Gabriel said before another ominous
laugh escaped his lips.
With all the remaining strength in his body, Sebastian snarled, “I’m not going to let you use me!”

“Oh, but you won’t have a choice!” Gabriel laughed again, and for some reason, Sebastian thought that his voice duplicated and
was accompanied by another person’s laugh.
“What do you mean? how?” Sebastian asked. Unfortunately for him, Sebastian’s consciousness faded as his body convulsed.
He did not get the answers he wanted to
hear.

Sebastian awoke, feeling exhausted.
‘Alpha! Alpha, what do we do? Gus is dying.’ He heard noises around him, forcing him to flutter his eyes open.

He recognized an enclosure around him. It was a mobile cage shaped like an igloo. It was made of silver, only meant to hold one
person at a time. Sebastian grunted, and

that only alerted the rogues who were guarding them.
“He is awake! Quickly give him another dose!”

“F uck!” Sebastian tried to push away the blade, stained with snake venom, but his body was still too weak to fight it.
He felt a sharp pain in his leg, and it did not take long for him to lose awareness again.
The next time Sebastian woke up, he stayed quiet. He learned the hard way not to let the rogues know he was aware of his
surroundings. He linked with anyone while keeping his eyes closed.
‘Kate?’
‘Sebastian,’ Kate called. ‘Pretend to be asleep.
‘I am. How are you? Kate?’ He asked.
‘I’m fine. They did not watch us thoroughly last night. I managed to give Gus a small dose of the healing potion. I think he will
live, Kate said. ‘But I spared half of the healing potion just in case.

‘Where are you?’ Sabastian asked.
‘Across you,’ Kate said.

Sebastian looked through his eyelids and saw Kate’s lying figure. She was in another igloo-shaped silver cage. He managed to
look past his wife and noticed that the rest of his men were in a bigger prison; their arms and legs were secured with silver
chains. Only Gus was lying on the ground, but his limbs were still tied.
‘Zev, did they also give you the same snake venom?’ Sebastian asked.
‘No, Alpha, only wolfsbane. Now and then, they throw in wolfsbane flowers in our cage. We take in wolfsbane in our every
breath. When the potency of the flower runs out, they add more. You and Luna Kate got the more potent poison, Zev responded.
‘Alpha, we couldn’t do anything. They had you and Luna Kate. We could not risk attacking until they poisoned us too, Zev added.
‘Okay, try to act weak. Hopefully, they will reduce the amount of wolfsbane and venom they give us,’ Sebastian suggested.
‘When we are stronger, we can fight back. Instruct the
rest.’
‘We will do, Alpha, Zev said.
Sebastian directed Kate the same. They formulated a plan by acting as if the poison had

utterly taken over them. Unfortunately, Gabriel returned sooner than Sebastian had hoped.
Gabriel’s scent was now identifiable. Sebastian understood he no longer masked his scent. Along with Gabriel, four other people
followed behind him.
“Leave! We want to be alone,” Gabriel ordered, and another set of footsteps suggested the guards around Sebastian left the
area.
Sebastian noticed Gabriel and his companions approach him. Someone poked Sebastian’s arm, but he remained to act like he
was out of it. Then, he heard a woman speak, “This is the alpha who killed our son?”
“Yes,” Gabriel said.
“Then, it is only right that we use his body,” the woman replied.
“Yes. Many of the rogues have doubted my strength since permanently settling in this body, so getting into Sebastian’s body
would win back their confidence that our plan would succeed,” Gabriel said. “And yes, he deserves to be used because he killed
our
son.”
“But we still do not know if it will work,” the woman responded.
Gabriel replied, “It will work. His body is now weakened.”
The woman sighed and said, “It’s not about the strength; it’s the compatibility. My son was the best receiver of your soul because
you were related!”
“Well, we don’t have a choice now, do we? Sebastian killed our son, and I can’t stay in this body forever! Gabriel is old and is not
strong enough! It will have to work!” Gabriel insisted.
‘Use my body? Kill their son?’ Sebastian wondered who this woman was. ‘And why the f uck was Gabriel talking like he wasn’t
himself?’
It was all too confusing for Sebastian, and his clue arrived when the woman said, “Okay. Fine, Vlad. I hope this works. Let’s start
transferring your soul into Sebastian’s body.”

‘Vlad? Vlad. Vlad. Vlad, Sebastian dug into his brain. ‘Who the f uck is Vlad?’
Realization suddenly hit him; he said, ‘The -‘
