"No. Don't let that water touch you. At all." Emilia says after laying her head on Kenneth's laps. They are now in a room together as Alpha Maxwell has left them with threats to return forcefully and suddenly.
"That water was what Fred's betas used to save me from you." Emilia chuckles. "You didn't really know."
"Oh, what!" Kenneth slightly exclaims. "What, then?"
"It was when you turned into a big wizard." Emilia replies. "So we got that tip already. You feel me?"
"See." Kenneth points at a direct illumination. "There's a light there. Or is it fire? It seems the moon goddess wants to pay us a visit."
"Not that." Emilia says and as Kenneth looks at her, his smiles fade away, seeing Emilia's frowning face.
"Come on, what's serious?" Kenneth asks. "Why are you frowning?"
"Because Maxwell is here and has caught up with us already. He will take away all my powers and whoever has, as well." She gasps as she says in shock.
"Alpha Maxwell again?" Kenneth asks in fury.
"If you love me, prepare a way of escape for me. Maxwell will grab my power." Emilia sniffles.
"Wow. You didn't even think of him grabbing my power?" Kenneth retorts. "That's bad."
"See, sorry. Activate your mind link now. Connect with the moon goddess." Emilia says. "Before Maxwell opens the door."
"You know anything like hole? Where you can hide?" Maxwell suggests.
"Find one for me." Emilia commands and rolls her eyes at him. He does as well.
"Just keep waiting at the door post. You can as well creak the door open..." Kenneth tells her, demonstrating with his hands. "...and check where he gets to. Give me updates."
"Do quick. You're Kenneth. You shouldn't be scared of him." Emilia replies and scoffs.
"I'm not scared." Kenneth says, and disarranges the furniture in the room. "Damn. Damn. Damn."
Emilia sighs, and faces him with her hands akimbo. Then suddenly, a creepy crawlie springs out of one of the chairs and directs its sting to Kenneth. That's a snake. Kenneth gasps and backs off as he crawls on the ground, cautiously and fearfully.
"Are you scared?" A voice asks.
"Not at least." Kenneth replies, sweat trickling down his forehead. He slowly rises to his feet, maintaining the pace between him and the snake. A second to stand erect but two legs kick him back to the ground, setting Emilia on the alert. Her witch spirit beeps within her and threatens to pop out anytime soon.
"Freak." Maxwell cusses, splitting up the bronchure between the room and the back door. "Forget about her but no, you won't."
Then, he opens a drink and the liquid fizzles as he pours it on Kenneth who is lying down flatly and unconsciously. Emilia flies above the furniture and reaches out to Max as fast as possible; she kicks the bottle away with her legs and cleans up those spilled on Kenneth's face but Maxwell punches her from behind with his fiddled fists.
Emilia turns back to face him and truthfully, he becomes a bit scared, seeing her bloody face coupled with the rearrangement of her eyes, nose, and lips. Kenneth smiles at his fear and hugs Emilia, cuddling her to return to her human form. The two of them now sitting close to each other and smiling, they face Maxwell who is staring up and down.
"Okay. Okay...then." Maxwell struggles to say. "...can you be a Beta for my pack?"
"I..." Emilia roughly replies. "...or him?"
Kenneth's fingers trace her lips as they move in asking the questions.
"Kenneth." Maxwell replies.
"A Whole Alpha?" Emilia yells at him in fury. "What do you mean? Are you nuts?"
"You wasted my water. You've wasted my precious water." Maxwell wails. "Now, you're rendering me powerless. Please help me."
Kenneth and Emilia stare at themselves and then at him, looking confused. Emilia wants to move up to him but Kenneth holds her back with his palms.
"Don't go. That's creepy." He mutters. "All of a sudden? Asking for help?"
"I thought as much." Emilia replies, and realizes a hole right beside Maxwell who is sitting opposite them.
"I heard what you said." Maxwell suddenly says as he guffaws, rising to his feet. "Well, I'm no longer threatening you. I'll come back to meet you in your ghost selves. I'm killing both of you."
Kenneth chuckles and rises to his feet as well.
"Try... Try that." Emilia scoffs as she joins Kenneth in rising as well.
"You see outside? That's fire. Four hundred and fifty four witches are here while there are more than a thousand wizard. Just to murder you. But I came here to see if you'll obey or hear what I have to say. Or maybe you'd agree this time around! But you fucking didn't."
"That water..." Maxwell adds. ".. that got wasted is really paining me. Till this moment! Do you know how much it costs?"
"What..." Kenneth says, slowly turning his face to Emilia. "...what water?"
"You were unconscious. It happened few minutes ago. He was spilling the paranormal water on you." Emilia replies him. "The one we were talking about."
"We'll talk, okay?" Emilia adds but Maxwell scoffs.
"If you want to live a love life, then go do that in the other world." Maxwell yells at them, his veins rising and setting, revealing green marks as well.
"You didn't bring us to this life. Neither will you take us away from this life." Kenneth retorts. "I have my pack to rule." His voice starts to shake. "But you've been pursuing me as though I have done something wrong to you. I never intruded your pack neither have I ever seized your mate."
"Kenneth is tougher than Maxwell is. I'm with you as well. Don't be afraid." Emilia's witch spirit encourages her from within.
"I'm not." Emilia mutters to her in her witch spirit.
"You are mad for saying that. In fact, your mind has gone round the bend and you're making both I and my wizard self go berserk." Maxwell shrieks at them with the harshest tone. "White, open the door and stumble on him." Max instructs.
Kenneth sobs as he looks at the expression on Emilia. Emilia bows her head a bit as the door is creaking open by the head of the ordered wizards.
"Here I am sir." White bows as he enters but Maxwell hits his back forcefully.
"Wastoid! You idiot! Fucking do what I told you to do!!" Maxwell yells at them and his eyes begin to increase in size, giving him a clearer vision to the wizardry system both in this world and the paranormal world.
"You and I know that I can't try to do that." White replies, moving away from Kenneth.
Maxwell's furrowed forehead returns to normal and his wolf trying to fake control give his body back to him as he becomes dazed at the reply he got from whom he took as a Leader.
"When a Leader fails, other fail as well." White adds. "We are no longer on your team. We are for Kenneth."
Maxwell frowns his face as he flaps his ears with his palms. "What the hell are you talking about?"
Kenneth remains rooted to the ground, trying to catch hold of what is currently happening as he sees blood in droplets dripping from Emilia's nostrils.
"You're changing wizards from a team to another team and that is so risky but since you're doing this for Kenneth, then it's all good." Her witch tells her. "Emilia, always try your best to protect Kenneth. You might end up getting caught but protect him always."
"Thank you." Emilia appreciates as blood keeps flowing out of her nose due to the heavy usage of her power.
"White, you're not doing this. Are you?" Maxwell goes on his feet as he sobs and sniffles.
"At least, you'll confirm that outside." Blue, another leader in the second rank, jerks inside, tells him and grasps him.
"Stop clutching onto me. It's rude." Maxwell retorts, not even sure of who is holding onto him.
"We got him. I know why we succumbed to him. I mean to White." Blue says in front of them all as Emilia tries her best to convince him still but blood only flows from her nostrils, making Blue use it as a confirmation for his discovery.
"Look..." Blue points at Emilia. "...she's using her witch power to take us all to their side. Alpha Max, can you try that as well?"
"Wow." Maxwell comments. "That's so, Emily?"
"She's Emilia." Kenneth corrects. "And you, White, join your team."
White walks up to Maxwell but before he gets there successfully, Maxwell grabs a sword from nowhere and hits him with it. Straight to his neck, beheading him and his head dropping to the ground with a creepy light thud.
His blood flows along the sword lines as Blue smiles and Maxwell licks it off. Blue gives the eerie signal to proceed with Emilia and Kenneth but Maxwell holds on, observing their necks slowly.
"Stop it!!" Alpha Kenneth yells. "No ooo!!!"
"Stop what, dude?" Maxwell scoffs, shifting into a strange animal better called a fox. Kenneth separates his two hands, gets them together again and yells, pushing Emilia into the hole and becoming times four of his size.
"So you can be four as well?" Blue scoffs, cupping his jaw and watching the Max fox and the four-in-one Kenneth.
