Chapter 5) The fight/ Her endless nagging.

Elektra's pov

I charged towards Eleanor, and in a flash, I pinned her against the wall, and she groaned in pain.

Damn, it felt good being in charge of this body. I could do whatever I wanted!

My fight against Eleanor got interesting when she channeled her might and transformed into her wolf form.

I saw the way Eleanor's blue eyes glowed, and I also noticed the different aura that she was emitting, making me understand something.

'This must be Eleanor's other half. Eleanor must have given full control to her wolf, because she knows there's no way she could ever defeat me herself. Tsk, she shouldn't have given her wolf full control. Assuming she knew, she could have taken her wolf form and still have control. But now, I guess I don't have to go easy on them'. I thought to myself and was looking forward to dealing with the arrogant wolf in front of me.

"How dare you hurt Eleanor? Do you want to die?!". Eleanor's wolf, whose name I care absolutely nothing about, yelled at me before growling with hostility.

The way she yelled at me was enough to make me attack her and dip my fangs into her exposed neck. One thing I hated the most was when someone, other than my other half (Anastasia aka Clara), yelled at me.

My attack didn't end there. I raised my paws and struck Eleanor's wolf on the face using my claws, making the face bleed. The sight of blood made me bloodthirsty, and next I went for the legs.

My continuous attacks against Eleanor's wolf forced Eleanor to take control and shift into her human form, because all her energy had been drained from her completely.

Eleanor coughed out blood, before she collapsed on the floor right in front of me.

As she tried to stand up, she fell down and landed roughly on the floor. Seeing that my opponent had been defeated and was unworthy of me, I shifted into Anastasia's human form.

Of course, I still had control of Anastasia's body. Clara was new to being a werewolf, so it would be difficult for her to get rid of me now and regain full control of our body.

I know that I can gain automatic access to Anastasia's body whenever Clara is angry. But that was it.

Now that Clara is not angry anymore, she could easily take control of our body if she wanted to.

But luckily for me, and too bad for her, she did not know how to. At least, for now, she didn't know how to.

And I was not willing to return to the empty abyss and allow her to have full control of our body.

My attention fixed on Eleanor when I sensed that she was trying to get up. I was watching her when I wrapped my arms around my abdomen and smirked.

Eleanor tried to stand up using the last of her strength, but it was useless, because I had made her cripple.

Turning to the guards and maidservants, I announced, "Anyone who dares to disrespect me would go through the same fate as Eleanor!".

The way fear gripped everyone made me proud and satisfied. The smile on my face made my appearance look terrifying. Even the maid servant who had found the diamond ring for Clara, dared not look at my face. I guess after what she saw today, she would never demand I reward her for finding the diamond ring.

What I want is loyalty, not greediness and disloyalty!

I have always wanted to fully awaken and put everyone in their place!

Anastasia, who was supposed to be my true half, greatly disappointed me.

She allowed her subjects and the other wolf packs to make fun of her.

I guess fate was on my side, because after she took her life, the moon goddess gave me a chance to fully awaken by transferring Clara Hensley's spirit and soul into this body.

"Guards, take this woman away. She is banished from my Shadows' pack forever. Don't forget to cane her legs fifty times too before you throw her out". I gave my order, and the guards rushed to execute it.

I was grinning as I watched them drag Eleanor away. "Good riddance". I muttered and left for the dining room.

The second I arrived in the dining room and took my seat, the maidservants came running in and served me my breakfast.

'Look at them. Assuming it was the naive Anastasia, they would have treated her as they pleased'. I thought.

It was after the maidservants had finished serving me that I remembered Clara. 'Hey, why aren't you saying anything, Clara?'. I mind - linked her, but there was silence.

I guess she was playing hard to get with me. I thought of something and smiled as I said to her, 'Continue being silent, and you might never meet your parents again!'.

'Hey! That's not cool at all! Don't joke like that with me!'. Clara yelled at me and I smiled because I found it quite amusing when she got angry at me.

I waited for her to calm down a bit, before I said to her, 'You are at a serious disadvantage, Clara. Didn't you know that whenever you get angry, you are giving me the opportunity to gain full control of our body?'.

'I have heard enough of that talk, Elektra. How did you know I am Clara Hensley? And how did you know about my parents? Additionally, I learned so much about werewolves when I was still a human. Elektra, you, my other half, is not supposed to have full control of my body, be it when I am in my human form or your wolf form, unless I permit you to. But, why are you now in charge of my body? Because I got angry? That doesn't make sense. Don't tell me you are different from the werewolves I read about?'. Clara snapped at me, and I stopped smiling.

'I knew you were Clara Hensley and I knew about your parents because as you merged with Anastasia's body, your past life memories became mine too. Just like how Anastasia's memories became yours. As for your other question, be my guess. I am in charge of our body because I am stronger. If you want to take control, become stronger too and learn how to put me under control!'.

'But, why did these things happen to me? Why did I merge into Anastasia's body? You said Anastasia died? But there was no news concerning that. Why should I believe you?'. Clara asked me, and I could feel that she was doubting me.

I sighed because she was nagging me with so many questions. With a lazy deep groan, I replied to her, saying, 'Anastasia drank poison because alpha Dylan did not love her. I guess she died at almost the same time as you. The moon goddess appeared in the presence of Anastasia's lifeless body and transferred your spirit and soul into Anastasia's body. The moon goddess gave you and me a chance to live for a reason I know nothing about".

'Wait, how did you know all this, Elektra?'.

'Of course I ought to know, because from the moment Anastasia was born into the world, my consciousness was born too. I can see and hear everything, despite Anastasia not being able to awaken me. But if the moon goddess had come a minute later, my life force and consciousness would have completely been dispersed. I would have died'.

'Oh. Werewolves are creatures who are said to be a combination of humans and wolves. In ancient times, packs of wolves attacked one of the human races' villages, but something strange happened then. The humans and wolves started to merge into one. The most tragic part is that the other half, which is the wolves, can not live or function without its other half, the humans. The wolves relied on their humans in order to live, while the humans relied on their wolves for strength. Another unfortunate part is that humans who have turned into werewolves can have full authority over their human forms and their wolves' forms. They could allow their wolves to take control only if they wanted to. Another unfortunate part is that the wolves' existence would never be made known if their humans had not succeeded in fully awakening them. Just like you, Elektra. According to what you said, Anastasia wasn't able to awaken you. It was thanks to me that you had awakened. So you ought to respect me for that! If I learn how to tame you and take full control and authority of our body, I'll make sure you stay in the abyss for a long time. Mark my words because I'm serious, Elektra'.

'You are a pain in the head, Clara! Even though you gain full control of our body in the future, you should hope you never get angry, because I, Elektra, will always gain control whenever you get angry!'. I hissed as I said to her.

'Tsk. You're dumb, Elektra. Okay. It's true that you have a special ability to gain control of our body whenever I become angry. But, if I stop being angry, maybe, I can try and easily switch back and regain control of our body again'.

'I dare you to take control right now!'. I threatened her because her words were true. One way or the other, even though I was stronger than her, she had the upper hand.

'You see? You can't gain control-'. I couldn't finish talking because when I opened my eyes, I found myself in the abyss and not in reality. 'What happened?! How did you regain control of our body and send me back to the abyss? Aren't you new to being a werewolf?!'. I panicked as I questioned her.

'Are you shocked, Elektra? Although I wasn't born a werewolf, I know so much about them. Sorry, I fooled you. I can easily regain control of our body if I want to. FYI, it was fun seeing you deal with our enemy (Eleanor) for me'. Clara chuckled as she said to me. And as for me, that was when I understood that she wasn't just a capable human, but she was an extraordinary person. The moon goddess must have saved her life for a purpose.
