Chapter 69

At exact six in the evening, my phone rang and I picked up the call immediately. It wasn't Wayne but a random number. Whatever the caller had said, it perked my senses and made my blood boil. She was here. My mother was here, showing her face in this territory after poisoning me.

"Get up. We are going on a ride." I knocked Magnus of his seat where he had fallen asleep.

He shook himself up and followed me out of the office before we headed downstairs and outside the house. A cold chill ran down my spine, forcing the hair over my skin to rise. I burned from within. The raw anger surfaced, taking control.

I didn't truly expect my mother to appear here after what she had done but she proved me wrong.

Slipping into the car, I twisted the key and ignited the engine. It roared as I sped out of the driveway and onto the main roads that were leading up to the hills, the hills was where my mother was found.

The caller was one of Wayne's men at patrol, he called me when he couldn't reach him and told me there was a rogue in the territory. A female, late forties and there was a man with him, my Uncle.

"Slow down." Magnus advised as I swerved through the lanes, speeding and trying to reach there quicker before I gave her a minute of peace.

I wanted to destroy my own mother. There was great hatred I held within my self for her and I couldn't bear it anymore. It was eating me up alive, especially ever since she shoved that poison down my throat and didn't even hesitate.

Just like that I wasn't going hesitate killing her. She showed no sympathy, no pity when she asked her brother to hold me before poisoning me. I had done nothing to her, I had ruined nothing for her. She lived as a rogue due to her mistakes. She was banished from the pack for creating and poisoning werewolves. For years, she had been digging her grave and now it was deep enough to slip her inside and bury her.

"Don't get too close. We don't know how many men she's with." Magnus spoke once more as we drove nearer to the hills.

I slowed down a little, gaining control of the wheel and holding myself together for the moment.

"The warrior at the border said she's only here with my Uncle," I quickly said while turning my head around and searching for the location that had been sent to me. "I gave them strict orders to not touch her until I was there. They are keeping their distance."

"Where is she?" He asked, glancing outside the window and into the dark night.

"There is a hall on the hills where sometimes weddings and parties are hosted. She's there and she has called a few people—probably her people from the pack—the other omega's." I explained to him while driving up hill. It grew chilly up here. "I don't know how many of them are going to be there." It was true, I had no clue.

We rounded to a number, it was fifty, fifty omega's that still were devoted to my mother and her schemes but there could be more, a lot and we weren't sure how to control them.

Wayne was a hundred miles away from here, in another town, meeting with another Alpha. His people only listened to his orders. It was going to be hard to give any orders to the wolves.

The sky turned darker and the moon remained low, still rising from the surface. Heavy clouds scattered above us. I parked the car near to the familiar hall, keeping a great distance from it since I could see other cars surrounding.

I turned off the headlights of the car and twisted around, grabbing my bag. Inside there were two blood bags filled with blood, it was exactly what I needed right now.

I tore through one of them, drinking quickly while Magnus gave me a terrified scare.

"What? I need strength." I turned away from him, finishing up the blood and then discarding the bag in the backseat. "It's a struggle but I can control it. I just need a push for tonight."

"Mhm. You tell that to yourself?" He opened the door to his side and stepped out, walking into the night.

I followed him, feeling full and thrilled. Power surged through my veins and my senses heightened after taking in the blood. My vision became clearer and I saw beyond the dark night. I heard people moving in the hall, and someone talking.

"Do you hear anything?" He asked, nearing me and watching my gaze as it lingered over the building.

"Yes," I kept my focus on the voices and they became clearer. "There are many people in there, Magnus. All omega's from what I can tell...." I stopped for a moment, catching my Mother's voice. "She's there to...she's telling them—" My eyes widened as I knew what I was going to hear next.

"What? What is she telling them?" Magnus asked, demanding to be answered. He rolled up his sleeves, preparing for an attack while I kept my ears open.

"She's going to tell them the truth—about Wayne and I. She's going to tell them who we have became!" My head snapped to Magnus who stood behind me. "I can't let her tell them. No one knows. If people learn what we have become, they won't take Wayne as a leader, let alone a werewolf or one of them."

My heart thudded hard and I gritted my teeth before rushing toward the hall. My mother had ruined everything for me, I couldn't let her ruin everything for Wayne. He enjoyed being an Alpha, he was a true Alpha and I could not let my mother take that away from him.

Without wasting another second, I stormed into the hall, interrupting my Mother as she was in the middle of exposing us. Faces turned at my direction and gasps rose in the air as I stepped a foot in.

Anger burned deep inside me, reaching to my core and strengthening me more when I saw my mother's face—her cruel wicked face. Her eyes snapped to mine and I held her stare with confidence while paving my way through the crowd that had become silent.

No one, no one dared to come at me or take a chance with me.

Everyone here knew what I had done while I was away from Wayne and the pack. People knew the murders I had committed and they knew the violence that hardened inside me day and night.

"What were you telling, Mother?" I stepped up, approaching her with a smile curled on my face. "That we are different?" My brow rose.

"What are you doing here? You are supposed to be in Swanhill." She wore surprise on her face well. It turned pale when I first stepped into the hall and the more nearer I got to her, I could see tension rising and fear storming into her eyes.

She was afraid of me—her own child.

"And you were supposed to protect me from dangers. Instead, you poisoned me." Anger unleashed itself out of me. I stomped closer, my hands turning into fists and my jaw clenching. "Tell them, Mother, tell them what you had done to me. Tell them what you turned Wayne into. Tell them what you turned your own daughter into."

The omega's stared at me but they didn't utter a single word at my presence. Finally, I reached my mother and she stood only a few inches away from my wrath. Uncle Hawk stood right behind her, his eyes brimming with fear.

They knew what they had done to me.

They knew well.

"I'm a monster, right? Tell them that, Mother. Tell them what monster you created." I demanded to be heard. "Tell them how you poisoned Wayne and turned him into a creature of no kind."

"Clara." She took my name while her hands rose, protecting herself but there was nothing she could do to protect herself now.

It was too late.

I turned my head and my gaze connected with Magnus' who stood near the entrance. "Lock the doors, please." I said, my voice lifting.

He nodded and dragged the doors shut, locking them up and anyone else that was going to flee from here.

"What are you doing? Clara!" My mother shrieked behind me, her voice containing her fear.

"I'm a monster," I shrugged, facing her. "You turned me into one. So, now watch as I destroy you."
