— Who are you?— I managed to ask, hoarse, my throat scratched
headquarters.
— I am your worst nightmare— that unknown voice made me shudder.
I half— closed my eyes, trying to see who was before me. Your
disgusting smell was not strange, when he lowered the flashlight,
growl.
— I did not know that the strays acted with vampires— I murmured to
recognize that parasite.
He smiled, passing his tongue through the elongated canines. Approached his
face of mine, its smell made me twist my nose, feeling like
puke.
— What can I say? No one resists a hot little wolf— came down
your eyes through my body.
I showed him my teeth.
— Try to touch me, and I’ll eat your heart, understand?
The vampire held my chin, lifting my face and I stared with
firm those eyes red as blood before me, no
I refused or cowered. I was in the den of the strays, there was
managed to get in and now plan how to release me from the chains of
silver to end it at once.
— Everyone’s eager to meet the Supreme Court bitch.
Without thinking of the consequences, I tried to pull my hands from
chains, I struggled in the chair, and cried out in pain when blood in
my veins burned in an unbearable way that made tears if
accumulated in the corner of my eyes. Whimpered when I felt something
sharp stuck in my ankle, a piece of silver, noticed the needle
injected into my right arm, injecting wolfs bane mixed into serum in
my vein, it was impossible not to recognize that damn herb that we
weakened.
— I’ll kill you— got to say, dizzy by the wolfs bane in my blood
— You’re as harmless as a fly— joked, touching my
chin, tried to bite his hand, but he grabbed my hair and pulled
my head back, I bit my teeth for the pain of that pull. —
We’ll get you tamed, baby, you always fight until
get tired, but always lose.
— When I let go of these chains, I will remember all the
wolves that you killed.
The aconic in my body made me erase. The darkness took me
again.
(...)
I could feel my consciousness coming back slowly, the pain again
hit me hard, grunted softly, kept me standing to save
efforts, needed maximum energy for the right time.
My blood burned in my veins, felt the weakness in my
body, the aconite being pumped inside me, my heart beat
slowly because of the grass that weakened werewolves.
Aconite and silver were our greatest weaknesses, and they were using
the two with plenty to keep me trapped, confusing my
senses and weakening me.
So that’s how they doped the females so that they didn’t
have the strength to fight?
I lifted my heavy eyelids with difficulties and tried to observe the
place where they had taken me, it was dark, smelly and cold. By the smell of
land in the air, seemed to be a kind of hidden underground Banker
somewhere in some strange forest, could not
recognize the odor.
I noticed that I still wore the red dress, but the fabric was dirty and
torn.
Bastard! I’d kill him for that, too.
I looked down and found a pool of blood around me, the
blood that I lost for the piece of silver stuck in my ankle,
I couldn’t heal, the wound bled and I already felt the
weakness spreading in my body by blood loss. It was
almost fainting again, blinked a few times and shook the
head, needed to stay awake.
Did you know that Jack had gone crazy when he found out what I did,
bracelet was the only clue I thought to leave for him, did not find
another way. If I had killed Nick, I would never have found the
straying, they’d still be alive and kidnapping more werewolves, that
needed to come to an end. And they would be killed by my hands.
The door was opened, stiffened to see Nick enter the place. His eyes
dark descended through my body, watching the damage they had
made on me.
— Enjoying the work, you unfortunate?— I asked between teeth.
— I must admit that Malcon took it hard on you, he’s got a mind
perverse.
— He’s not the only patient here— I fought cheeky.
Nick let out a dark laugh.
— I love this daring of yours, you know? I think that’s what you attracted me to
so much, maybe that wild spirit is what made me love her.
I spit on the ground near your feet.
— Oh by the Moon, spare me that cheap theater— I’m sorry.
He came up to me.
— You enchanted me the first time I saw you. — But the Supreme has
He had his claws in you, he took you from me.
— You are sick— I whispered incredulous.
Nick leaned towards me.
— You’ll learn to match what I feel for you, we’ll have
long time together.
— You know how I feel about you?— I asked hoarse. — Disgust and contempt, you
disgusts me.
My words didn’t seem to have any effect on him.
— You’re mine, wild wolf.
My heart beat hard to hear you call me by that name,
No, he couldn’t call me that.
— I will never be yours— guaranteed with my chin up. — And not just because
you’re despicable and disgusting, but because my heart belongs to
one man.
He grabbed my neck, clutching his claws in my jugular, his
look became furious.
— Don’t you dare say that.
I knew my next words could be my condemnation,
but did not hesitate to look deeply into the eyes of that patient and
I spoke the words I kept inside me:
— I love Jackson Labonair. I’m completely in love with him.
Jackson is the only one who has my heart.
My face was hit hard, Nick hit me. I felt my lip
lower burn, it had caused a wound in my mouth upon hitting
a slap on my face, my cheek burned. I turned my head
slowly and spit the blood in my mouth on his face.
— You are a repulsive worm and I will destroy you.
His hand squeezed my neck tighter, almost taking my breath away.
— When you discover the truth about the monster that inhabits the skin of the
Supreme, you’ll hate him all your life, little wolf.
I had lost track of time. My mind was confused and my
slow thinking, was hungry, thirsty and in pain. Didn’t even have energy
to think of a way to get rid of those chains, the wolfs bane
pumping in my blood was like a poison, it burned.
They had drugged me again with the same paralyzing weed that
had in the drink that Nick offered me. The members of my body
were still numb, my tongue was bitter. I couldn’t hear
the voice of my wolf, the wolfs bane was killing her slowly, not even
I could feel it inside me.
Time, I needed time to regain my strength and think
how could I let go and destroy that lair. I wouldn’t wait
that Jackson found me, didn’t put that plan into action
hoping that he would rescue me, it was in my right to end
the band of strays.
I closed my eyes and tried to relax my tense shoulders, try
rest for a few hours before Nick or the bloodthirsty parasite
came back, needed as much energy to face them. I released a
deep sigh and inclined my head, allowing me to fatigue
erase.
When I opened my eyes, I noticed I was in a different place, in
a family home, the home of Peter and Melissa, where I lived for a few
weeks. Frown, my heart beating hard with the
reassuring feeling that house gave me, I walked to the
door of the room and touched the handle, when a wave of a power
unknown caught my attention.
I swallowed dry before turning around and finding a fox in the middle of
room, she was not an ordinary fox, her eyes shone like fire,
her vibrant orange coat. A powerful aura enveloped her, I told
seven tails with bright white tips, three sparks of
electricity and the other four were covered with fire. I trembled
with the weight in the air that it caused, a being of immense power, a
rare creature.
— Hayley— a soft voice echoed in my mind.
— How do you know me?— I asked defensively, taking a step back and
I bumped into the door.
The fox advanced towards me, his walk was soft as the wind,
His eyes of fire were stuck in me.
— No need to be afraid.
— Who are you?— I asked between teeth, risked a step forward and
my ankle failed, I leaned against the wall not to fall. I looked at
low and found the piece of silver stuck in my skin, the blood
dripped on the floor.
The fox kept staring at me with curiosity, seemed to wait for
something, something in it brought me a strange familiar feeling, no
I was able to identify what it was. I tried to call my wolf inside me
and the effort made her drop a low whine of pain in my mind, she
was too weak, I could kill her if I forced a transformation.
— What did you do to me?— I asked in a monstrous roar, a force
unknown flowing from within me made the house tremble, until the fox
retreated with that strange, stunned power.
I fought to smother that dark darkness, keep you asleep
that bloodthirsty, merciless and cruel monster. It was not yet the
Time to release him, no, not yet.
The fox shook its head, approaching again.
— Do not recognize me anymore, wild wolf?— asked again. — Think,
Hayley, I believe you haven’t befriended many Kitsunes— mocked the
animal.
That mockery in tone of voice only belonged to one person,
a wide smile of relief opened on my lips when I recognized her.
— Clary!— I almost cried with relief, I could swear that a glimmer of satisfaction
crossed her face. A strong flash of light covered her and I had to close
eyes not to be blinded by blinding light.
When I was able to open my eyes, I found Clary in her human form,
she looked stunning. A red dress with gold covered her
body, the sleeves were long with golden arabesques, a large
slit in her right leg. Her blonde hair shone, fell into her
back like white gold cascades, she looked like a goddess wrapped around
by fire and electricity.
— Wow!— I babbled admired.
She opened a smile, her lips painted a blood red lipstick.
A ruby necklace decorated his neck.
— I need to wonder that I love that shape, I get so irresistible— blinked to
me.
