Chapter 38: Blood, sweat and tears.

Unknown:

The young woman opened her window and smiled at the pathetic and useless place called a pack. She smiled at the plan she made and how it is working so well. Everything is set. Everything is in motion. Yes, alpha Liboardo was nice to her even though he wasn't her type. He's thirty years older than her but she still managed to look the age of eighteen but she didn't love or care. All it matters is that he's under her spell and the plans are shaped perfectly. Since then, my friend has killed an important alpha but killing him was so easy and no one suspected her. She framed a beloved pack member and even used alpha Liboardo accomplice. Her spell had brainwashed the alpha into believing that she is his mate but his real one had died (by her of course).

Aw, but she did not have feelings since she lost them ten years ago. Pack members thought she was fragile and innocent yet she proved them wrong every single time. Sapphire was the perfect bait and the people who died. But that man wouldn't be instantly attracted to her as she had a petite frame, busty and curvaceous .She had big doe eyes and plump lips and he'll gladly make her his lunar even though she has no wolf. She befriended the demon Pink Eye as they worked together to kill the Lunar's brother and that dibbled wolf by making her life easier. And of course many others. Sapphire may be stupid but she did her job handsomely.

Knock! Knock!

"Who's there?"She shouted."I'm doing my makeup."She dabbed powder on her face and added mascara.

She pounded her fist harder and scarped harder as the girl coughed harder and cursed. She sighed and growled (attempted)"Who's there?"S he screamed.

"Um, is me, Sapphire .Lunar. I've come to bring you food and invite you to the...um, the Alpha's room. Gross." She gasped and slowly stride to the white door and opened it only to see Sapphire. Sapphire looked sick, skinny as a stick, she still had a small face that was sunken, her wrist were red and raw, and silver shackles  dragged on the floor and smeared with fresh and dried blood. Her teal T-shirt was now soaked with crimson and scarlet and dirt-stained jeans. In Sapphire hands was a metal tray with a cold glass of orange juice, scrambled eggs and French toast but the woman couldn't help but glare as she checked her from head to toe at the weak werewolf."Thanks. "She muttered and stared at Sapphire intently, her long black hair had lost its shine, but it had been cut to her waist and her eyes, her blue eyes looked lifeless and dull.Sad, She's fleeting away, then she turned on her heels but she shouted then she whirled."Wait. "She added as Sapphire sighed, then she roundhouse kicked her on the shin and chin and sapphire knees dropped on the floor. She coughed hard and held her dislocated chin as she stared at the lady's brown hair tumbling down her back with a cruel smile on her lips."And next time, don't take so long."She warned, her eyes narrowed as Sapphire scrambled out and nodded curtly.

"Alpha is looking for you, you fake bitch."Sapphire spat, her eyes flashed gold but she easily retorted flipped her hair.

"Shut up, dog."She hissed as sapphire whimpered and her eyes returned back to her normal sapphire-blue.

She walked out the room and slammed the door shut as she skipped to his office. It was a small wine room, a big leather chair; a fluffy carpet with a mahogany desk and what lined the walls were animal's heads of wolves that made her shudder and smile with delight. The door closed shut and walked in was a tall bearded man that wrapped his muscular arms on her small waist while she smiled then before the door clicked they were passionately making out.

She walked into the hallway feeling frisky and flustered, her hair messed and her jacket slumping as she pulled her skirt up but as she passed with confidence people glared at her. She knew in her heart that the pack members were suspicious of her. The cooks pause to stare and glare at her as she slowly walks past then she stops. In the side of the hallway were a gang of girls as they chatted. A raven-haired girl and a Brunette girl but hidden in the group was a tiny, thin red-headed girl with bushy hair. The girl shrinks and squirms when she stared at her and smiles with contempt.

She hurriedly left as there shallow whispers can be heard. I must get rid of them 'she thought as she paused.

"Ooh, look is the Alphas whore."Raven pointed at her. The short annoying one.

"Luna, my ass."The brunette screams loudly, but points at her ass.

"shh ,the whore is arriving."The petite, sick one that obviously have an eating disorder.

"I'll never respect her."Raven nodded, and the brunette agreed.

"All they do is fuck."Raven spat in disgust.

"Eww, gross."The Little one, who's obviously sixteen needs growth issues, she's so childish.

"Is the truth, she isn't Luna material, holy cow she must be witch or something."She whispers then gasps in horror.

"She gives me bad vibes, girls, "they concluded, "thank the goddess above, she does not have a wolf .They looked at the red head, "so does she, Nora,"ooh, that's their names and she never bothered to know her pack mates."Every wolf has a mates, I swear she did something. "She screamed angrily, as they nodded in agreement.

She growled loudly, startling the omegas as she strode to them but suddenly, she doubled over and staggered in pain and shock. then she slowly brought her fingers to her mouth then she bolted down the hallways as the girl busted out laughing and aiming insults at her.

"What, a toad stuck in your throat?"

"Hah, look at her go, this bitch. Can't even defend herself."They hollered and jeered but their voices became distant like a memory as it muffled. Her skin paled, her eyes flickered and slowly her fingertips turned black and her lips then she coughed hard almost choking a lung out as she gagged but black smouldering smoke clawed from her mouth in puffs as she moaned.

"No."She screamed her voice hoarse and scratchy like sandpaper and more wisps clawed out hurting her. She busted the metal doors opened and bolted down the spiralling white stairs deep into the bowels of the dudgeon as the air thins and darkness overwhelmed her but she was unbothered. The guards hissed at her as she barked an order to them as they lined the dudgeon and gulped at her suffocating presence.

Zale:

Hamia's gone, and today marks the day of me debating with my wolf, he argues and whimpers in my head so much it hurts. Ever since, Hamia got her wolf; he's been instantly connected to her but he wants her so badly. We haven't marked each other or anything but he's super possessive and mad that he's feral and gnashes his teeth at me. He's restless. I've suppressed him much longer than I've intended too by using Mask on myself countless times.

'Alpha we've tracked her. She's in Vermont.'

Vermont, thank the goddess. She's not that far. I felt myself growl and my wolf snapped his jaws from my mind. Sapphire was already suspicious and I shouldn't have thought it was Turquoise but damn, Sapphire was great at manipulating and preaching about a world without werewolves and humans. Ever since, she escaped horrible things happened. Wolves disappear or their souls are drained or just murdered around with letters scraped into their bodies.

I've heard a lot of wolves actually dislike Hamia mostly because she's not only a werewolf and a witch herself. I've been practising lately, kickboxing and hand-to-hand combat with Ares and the others. I have been scouting the pack borders with the enforcers and keeping tabs and sightings with neighbouring packs that turn their backs away or refuse to acknowledge what's going on. Pink Eye, the demon, was way harder to track and Eli is pretty supportive to Ares but somehow I've felt that we've met but I can't pinpoint where but anyway he should be looking for his mate. I ran my fingers through my dark hair and paced around the room for the twelfth time. We all know Sapphire was part of organising the kidnapping but when we got there the bus rolled away and we couldn't chase it to cause suspicion to the humans to actually notice wolves lurking in the shadows.

I squeezed my eyes shut hard and tried to stop the urge to shift as the urge intensified with my flickering eyes.

'Alpha, someone's been spotted.'

"We were stunned and scouted. Should we attack? 'One of the enforcers asked with a high pitched scream.

'Of course. 'I snapped, my teeth clenched.

'Sir, the scent of their wolf is oddly familiar. 'One acknowledges with a dreamy thought then a painful snap echoed as the wolf struggled. I rolled my eyes and jumped out of the window and dropped onto the grass gracefully. Ruffling and shaking echoed from the bushes and trees as the air quickens space I froze, turned and slowly rose up. I felt eyes burning into my back as the hairs of my neck stood erect."I know you're behind me."I stated, as the person coughed and cleared her throat. Tingling in my fingertips as claws grew, my eyes flashed teeth protrude."What's wrong, Zale. Why don't you look at me?"She asked her voice tense and very annoyed. I looked over my shoulders and dodged as she swung a fist and groaned with clenched teeth as she tittered. Her smile was wide and exposed her sharp canines as she held a machete laced with wolfspane and made of pure silver as she cackled.

"Sapphire."I gasped, my mouth unhinged with shock and confusion as I braced myself for a fight."So you've come crawling back to us ... after your treason."I scoffed, as she face palmed and rolled her eyes.

"Move aside, "She snapped at my clenched fist as I tried to anticipate her first move but she just laughed, long and loud."Move aside, Zale. The adults are in charge." She taunted me, "I have some work to do. Move aside and no one gets hurt."She warned, her voice rose with anger in every word. Then oddly she stared at the forest then at the cupboard as I mimic her then she grinned then lunged as I twisted and dodged as her a trail of hypnotising gold blinded me and she collided with the cabinet and groaned.

After she recovered instantly and laughed hysterically and beckoned me to her as she took long strides then we circled each other as she stared at the dark hardwood floor, cabinet then me as I raised a brow then with another then I collided with her and caught her wrist and twisted her body then she grinned then kicked me the abdomen from behind and dropped to a crouch then tripped me as she blurred then threw me forcefully onto the wooden wall as I grunted in pain and cracks seeped from behind me and I gasped.
