Chapter 10: Fighting
I woke up to notice that something strange seem to be happening. Not that it was that visible but theaids that do tend to me seems a bit tensed when they noticed that I've woken up. I slept till afternoon been that it was almost morning before I could sleep. I climb to my bed to see if I could catch a glimpse of what is happening outside but I couldn't been that this place is not really close to the outside.
"Is anything happening?" I asked them.
"Nothing" they chorused shaking their heads quickly.
This gave me the assurance the something is happening. The way they were looking at me was as if that thing relates to me. I'm not a very good judge of reaction but this I know what I'm saying.
"Are you lying?" I asked them.
Them not wanting to tell me got me scared. Not that they do talk to me like that but at least when I ask questions, they do reply me.
"Damion should have gotten my message. In fact if they had been here, there would have been uproar since last night. Damion won't be foolish to come here at noon. He should know that's suicide" I said to myself.
" It's past breakfast so will you have your lunch before you bath or bath before your lunch?" Fillia asked me.
" I'm doing nothing, if you don't tell me what's going on" I retorted.
Fillia smiled stiffly. " It's no use starving yourself ma'am. This issue has nothing to do with your meal" she said calmly.
Amongst all the maids that I've been seeing since I got here, Fillia is the most accomodating. She's the calmest of them all. She quite understands and me talk to me. She wouldn't even treat me harsh like the rest. Not that they've been rude to me but they wouldn't answer anything I tell them. Even if Fillia won't yeild to me, she would explain why. Because of this I do request for her presence but sometimes they deny me of her presence. The first time we met, she told me I can get out of this room if I let down my pride.
"Ma'am, pride won't help you when it comes to our alpha. You can be out of this room if you let your pride down. Our alpha also shows clemency" she said as she reminded my bedspread.
"You're alpha is a brute" I said with disgust.
I didn't like the way she spoke if our alpha as if he's a kindhearted mam. If he truely is, I wouldn't still be here while he ignored me all the way.
"And yours isn't?" She smiled.
"Don't you dare insult my father!" I retorted with dashing her a stern look.
"I'm not insulting your father. I'm only trying to help you here. If you keep on struggling, you will be here forever. My alpha doesn't care. As you can see he barely knows of your existence. It's report that we take to his subordinate that will get to him and that's how you can be freed" she explained.
The fear of me been here forever gripped me. I'm still young and my mate is surely looking for me out there. I still have my father's death to avenge. I then decided to calm down.
"What's your name?" I asked her.
"Fillia" she replied.
Since the Fillia and I have been talk buddies. She would even tell me some history of their pack. She told me how she's crushing on one of the male in the pack. She made me forget little of my troubles. When others ain't nice to me, she do scold them threatened to tell the warrior head about it. She will even remind than what the alpha told them about hospitality. With the way they speak of their alpha, I begin to doubt if the man is truely a demon that he is called. Well it part of caring for his people. If there's no people there can't be a leader. If he's truely demonic as he is pasted, he would have tortured me to death. Even his men that do visit me were not as to me. I think a demon should birth demon.
I was in my thought when the man who killed my father whom I later found out that his name is Moi came to me. Then I had already eaten and taken my bath.
"The alpha requests your presence" he said blankly.
The news got me so joyous that I almost smiled. The is the happiest day of my life. The alpha wants to finally see me. The man that has been ignoring me all these while. It's like a dream come true for me. I stood up quickly and followed Moi but on getting to the place he said I was needed, I almost fainted with shock.
I saw my brother and his men tied to the stake with only their lower body covered. I couldn't help but scream the place down.
"No!!!!" I shouted running to him.
No one stopped me, they just watch as I run to him. That's when I know that the alpha they were talking about wasn't the demon alpha but my alpha brother.
"Damion why are you here?" I cried touching his feet.
I was checking him to see if they hurt him in anyway. If they had hurt him, it wouldn't have healed because of the presence of the wolf's bane. I can smell it.
"Jessy" Damion called weakly.
"I told you not to come. Didn't you get my message? This people ain't normal werewolves. They have real demon in them" I sniffed looking at him.
My tears wouldn't stop flowing. This is my worse fear and I can't lose two family in weeks to the same people. My heart can't take it. I might be a warrior, I have weakness and that's my family.
"Are you alright?" Damion asked.
"Yes I am" I nodded. "Is he going to kill you?"
I thought he brought me here so that I can see my brother for the last time but Damion shook his head and I felt a little relieved. Then I looked at Alec who was also looking at me. I went to him and hugged him.
"I'm so sorry. This is my fault" I said crying.
Alec shook his head. " No it's not your fault" he said calmly.
I knew he's just saying this to placate me but I sure know that if I hadn't stupidly followed whom I thought is the demon alpha, we won't all be in this mess. But I was blinded by my anger and sorrow.
"Time up.we have better thing so do than to watch you brood" the man who brought me said and pulled me up.
"Leave me!" I roared.
I prefer to die than seeing my brothers taken away. The demon alpha is not going to kill them but he could do worse than to kill them. I jumped at him for two reasons. One he was the one who killed my father and now he is here for my brother. If I can't kill the idiot, I wasn't willing to leave him unscratched. I beared my my fangs at him ready to rip him into two.
"Be careful girl, I'm not so nice" he warned as I struggled with him.
" Jessy stop!" I heard Alec and Damion shout.
But I was blinded by my anger as usual. I shifted into my wolf form and launch for his throat. He didn't shift like I thought but he took me and hit me to the ground. The hit was so painful that I knew ribs would be broken. If not more than two, it wouldn't be less. This didn't stop me from standing up to fight. My wolf and I is one stubborn entity. This time around I was able to dip my claws in his skin and tear him pretty deep. This got him mad that he punched me hard that i coughed out blood. His punches were like that of a iron. He then flunged me to the wall. He would have continued if the beta didn't come to my rescue. The beta took him and hit him hard on the floor that he groaned. Even the ground knew something came on it because it left deep traces.
"How dare you!" The beta roared.
Although the beta isn't as huge as Moi but he's sure much stronger because he is a beta. Even is voice is so powerful like the sound of many waters. I looked at him as I coughed out more blood. I was in serious pain. I couldn't shift been that my sudden shift shredded my clothes. I know I wasn't thinking shifting in pubic but I was too angry. I wasn't only angry at Moi but I was also angry at the demon alpha. The man refused to show his face and kept me locked up.
"Jessy are you alright?" I heard Damion's loud voice.
I looked at him and realised they were already been brought down from the stake and was being carried away. I want to run to him but I was in serious pain. I didn't lie when I said I must have broken more than two ribs. In fact now not only my ribs seem to be broken, even my legs.
I watched as my brother and my pack members were taken away, pain gripped me and even my wolf cried. I then heard the beta scolding Moi. Moi's face looks so dangerous as if he is ready to kill but there's nothing he could do to his beta. I know that face is for me.
Fillia came with a big blanket and covered me, so that I could shift and not show my nakedness to everyone.
"I've always told you not to cause trouble" she told me.
I glared at her. I shifted under the big blanket. " I hate you all!" I shouted and that caused me pain because even my throat is in pains.
The beta came to me and looked at me. "You are such a trouble ain't you?" He said shaking his head.
" To hell with you!" I spat.
If not that he's not close to me, I would have visibly spat on his face. He just chuckled at my word and then began to avert.
"Your alpha is a trash! Tell him if he dare show his ugly face that he is hiding, I'll make sure to rip it off. You demons!" I screamed at his back like a child throwing a tantrum.
The beta paused and looked back at me glaringly. I've noticed that whenever I insult their alpha they tend to get angry.
"I won't argue with you that we are not demons. At least we aren't thieves and murderers like your angelic father" he said harshly and walked away.
Beneath his voice was laced pain and anger. He seems to have a personal grudge with my father. I was so sad at what he said. He just insulted my father, calling him a thief and a murderer. What he said was a shock to me that I couldn't even say anything. Father has never stolen not killed anyone unjustly. I wanted to argue more with him but I didn't have the strength. I was in pain physically and emotionally. I was so dazed that as Fillia led me back to my prison of a room, I didn't even say a word. I missed my family so much. I missed my life and this got me crying.
Bounce
I came back from my visitation only to discovered that there was something wrong. Even Mitchell could sense it. The atmosphere was so tensed. I called Moi and Gabriel to explain how things went with them but I discovered that they were so moody. I was already glaring at Gabriel because I knew I gave him strict warning about Moi. He might be leading him but he should give him utmost respect. One Moi is way older than him, two he met him here as a leader.
"Gabriel, what happened while I was away?" I asked with a stern voice.
Gabriel bowed his head. " I didn't intentionally scold Moi...."
I didn't let him finish. " How dare you scold Moi" I said in my alpha voice.
Gabriel cowered still bowed. " I apologize alpha" he said quickly.
"I've you forgotten my warnings?" I asked.
I wouldn't want anyone to treat Moi like a junior. He suffered with me to get all these. He is part of my treasure. He might make mistakes but he is still a huge part of my success story.
"No alpha" he trembled.
I was going to punish Gabriel because I don't like when my orders are not followed.
"You should at least know what Moi did alpha" Mitchell whispered to me.
I looked at Moi and discovered that he was pleased with what I was doing to Gabriel, I don't like the look he had on.
