Jane
Everything was like magic. The bed was the first thing I saw which had my eyes watering up. It had seven pillows at the head of the bed. The covers were enough to cover me up during winter and it would keep me warm.
I remembered my old bed and I suddenly remembered that I had not even slept in a bed in years now.
I had either been on the floor or on a mat which did not help my body. I was lucky I was a werewolf or I would have been deformed by the awkward sleeping spaces I had to be confined in.
Since I healed really quickly I did not have any trouble having to sleep in a confined space as I would be okay within a few hours of getting up.
My eyes darted to the shelf which had a flower vase with multiple books in them.
I could not remember having books in my possession in the former house. I was always denied having everything. From nice clothes to books to shoes. Heck I didn’t even have a phone or have the luxury of using any of the technology in the house.
I had to be pushed aside and used as a slave after my parents died. It was almost like my parents were disposable and I was no longer part of the family.
I sighed while thinking of the past. I was still living in my slavery as I had been sold out anyway.
I looked to the east wing of the bed to see the drawers which had so much pen and paper with a telephone stuck to it. A dragon shaped lamp was there which I could guess was motion activated.
The couch by the windows had me entering the room slowly to make sure it was not a trap.
“You’re still here,” I heard someone say as I jumped in fear, turning around to see Gail with a trolley in her possession.
“Oh,” I inhaled sharply trying to calm myself down. “I was waiting for you to come and take me to my room.”
She had widened eyes. I could see how beautiful she was. Why would the man who had gotten me from my uncle want me when he could have her?
She was just as pretty and I could see from the jewels she had on she was either being paid well or was from a rich family, although why she would want to live in this place and serve was beyond me.
“This is the room ma’am,” she smiled, easing up as she entered with the trolley which I eyed. It contained lush foods from different seas. I could see crabs, lobsters, fishes and even eels.
I gulped as I had not seen this coming.
“You can’t be serious,” I said while still eyeing the food which she pushed to me. I stared at her with a question. “What… what are you doing? Who do I have to serve?”
“This is for you, silly,” she smiled. “By the gods you’re really making my job harder than the others. This is your food. I had to leave you here to get it only to come back and find you still standing by the door. Is everything alright?”
The urge to tell her everything I had in me overwhelmed me as I opened my mouth but decided against it.
I was not going to trust anyone. I was here as nothing more than an item. No one was going to see me as anything more than what I truly was.
‘That’s not true,’ Nala my wolf countered. She was the only one who truly understood how I felt everyday and she was always there to motivate me to keep going forward.
With everything I had gone through it was a miracle she had not broken. She was still as strong as ever while I was just… there.
“So…” I smiled, feeling my eyes water up as I cleaned it with the back of my hands, walking to the windows. “These are beautiful.”
“Are you sure you’re okay? Shall I call you a healer or tell the alpha about…”
I did not know much about the alpha and even when he had seemed nice a few minutes ago, I could not trust him with me.
Sullivan had been nice to me the first few times as leader of the pack but now I could consider him a monster and I would not be lying.
“Ma’am?” The woman before me called as I came back to reality. “Is everything okay?”
I had not been asked that before, at least not after my parents died. I was seen as a mistake and I was seen as one who was not to exist.
“I’m fine,” I finally found my voice. I would not be treated like a queen on the first day and be treated like a worthless slave the next. I had to be on alert and be ready for whatever came next.
Nothing was permanent and most especially how good this place was. It was too good to be true.
“Alright, I will leave the trolley here and your clothes will be brought for you soon. The other maids have gone to the market to buy them so give them some time.
“Now if there is anything you want, use the telephone by the drawer and call me. I will be your assistant from now on. If you want me changed it will also be possible and you will have someone else by your side.”
That was a lot to take in as she smiled before bowing and walking out of the room.
I stood in the middle of the room expecting her to come in and tell me it was a joke but after five minutes of continuous waiting I decided that it was real.
‘What the fuck just happened?’ my wolf asked, as she was just as shocked as I was.
Jane’s POV“I’m coming for you Sinclair,” I muttered before running out of the pack at high speed.With each step I took I could feel my speed and strength coming back as I zipped through the pack leaving the pack to the mercy of a rampaging Sinclair.I ran for minutes, passing a wreck site before meeting Martha and the rest of the pack on the road heading for Sullivan’s pack.“Are you okay?” she asked with indigo floating to me as I nodded.“I am.”“Where is the alpha?”“He lost control and right now he’s destroying the entire pack.”“Good for those bastards,” I heard Indigo mutter with some of the witches muttering in agreement.“Those people didn’t do anything wrong to him. The one who did was Sullivan and I’m sure he’s dead right now. Same thing goes for Ethan. He’s probably dead. Sinclair has so much anger and rage in his body that he would do anything to break through the world if possible.”“It’s the magic. He’s lost his humanity,” said Martha. “I’m guessing you used the hex.”
Sinclair’s POVShe nodded looking at the hex. She concentrated on it, using her magic to infuse into the hex.“Are you thinking of how to put it on?” I asked her as she nodded.“Just give me a moment.”I would give her the amount of time she needed. So long as I would get my super strength at the end of the day. I would rather die an alpha's death than escape a coward.She closed her eyes, putting her thumb to her mouth as she bit it and poured some blood on the hex which turned to a phone-like device with a lever.She pushed it down with two holes appearing on its side. Soon enough the holes released a lot of smoke in my direction before going out into the open.I felt my strength returning slowly.“The smoke is getting heavier,” she said to her feet.I casually stood up, breaking the chains holding me down. I was at full strength now and I could still feel my powers growing.I grabbed hold of her chains, breaking them off.“I don’t feel so bad. I mean, I can still feel my powers gro
Jane’s POVHe sighed, looking to his knees. “I even had a fight with the witches before leaving. She was trying to explain something to me and I pushed her aside in anger. I wanted to understand why you would cheat on me so I decided to come here on my own and see what was going on.”I couldn’t blame him. Ethan was a snake. Ethan had made me leave the pack anyway.“Ethan was behind this all along,” he blurted as I stared at him in shock.“He what?!”“He did so much to you that you don’t even know it’s from him. Ethan needs to be stopped permanently.”I agreed with him.I told him about the hex Martha had created for me which would amplify my powers and he was fascinated by it.“So how does this work? Do we say some magic word or do we just use it alongside your powers?”“Magic words are fine. We’ll use the magic hex like a smoke screen to escape but we have to be very careful as the hex has different sides to them.”He tilted his head. “What do you mean?”I could see his wounds were n
Sinclair’s POVNow I had to deal with my stubbornness. It had brought me to the end.The door opened again with two hefty guards getting in.They looked at me and opened my cell, dragging me by the chains out of the cell.I didn’t expect them to treat me nicely since I was going to die anyway and I couldn’t pretend how much it hurt, leaving everything in the care of my brother.He was a wrecking ball. The pack would crash in a few days.He lacked the leadership skills I had. He was impatient, unkind and crude to people. There was no way he was capable of leading the pack.I was dragged out of the building with the crowd screaming for my head to roll.The guards took me to a podium to tie me down to a ledge. There I would stay and wait for my execution to arrive.***Jane’s POVI was dragged out by one of the guards as they said the alpha was about to be killed off so I needed to see him.He dragged me out of the room like I was a child and we were out of the room soon enough, walking
Martha’s POVNow this man’s words were the last straw for me. I stood up with a frown.“Those who will ride with me to take out Ethan should follow me,” I walked to the door. “Those who choose to stay have sided with Ethan. You don’t know how dangerous you are until you have tried fighting the beasts you fear.”Walking out of the throne room made me feel weak. What if no one followed me? I thought to myself. What if I walked out and looked back only to find no one but myself? That would hurt. Everything I had given to this pack would be taken for granted. No one would see me and Indigo as leader material and I would not be chosen to lead alongside indigo again.When I reached the gate, I heaved a heavy breath, turning to see everyone from the throne room before me. Even the ones who had refused to follow were present.“You all showed up,” I smiled.One of the wolves stepped forward. “I figured since we were going to die anyway, we might as well make it mean something. The people in t
Martha’s POVMy eyes darted from big to small, taking in their sights. Anyone who moved carelessly would take in my wrath which I was glad to give off.“Anyone who has something to say would say it when the time is right. For now, I would advise you all to sit down and let her finish with the story.”Everyone settled down as I waved for the girl to continue but she told me she was done.The story was unbelievable. Sinclair, defeated? That was not possible. Even I found that hard to believe. It was Sinclair we were talking about. There was no way he would be beaten by anyone. I could not even fight with him on even grounds without taking a beating. How had he lost?Yes, she had said he was taken down by three alphas and a lot of wolves, plus he had been shot by archers who had wolfsbane infused poisoned arrows but it wasn’t a concrete story I would believe so blindly.“Are you sure of what you’re saying or you’re making stuff up?” I asked the wolves on my side for a change. “Because le
