Walking to training I was suddenly jerked into the locker room as I passed them.
A gasp of fright leaving my lips not expecting to be grabbed. Spinning around I come face to face with my mother.
âGeez you scared the crap out of meâ I chuckle. But she was staring down at me with a stern face I didnât like.
âWhere have you been?â
âDetention, where else?â
âI looked for you, you werenât in detention with Angieâ
âNo I was placed in the Alphaâs officeâ
âWhat why?â
âBecause that where he told me to goâ
âDonât use that tone with me young lady, now listen today is wolf trainingâ
âOkay I will tell them I am sickâ I tell her but she shakes her head. I watch horrified as she pulls something from her pocket I hadnât seen in years.
âYou canât skip itâs compulsory, but you take one of these and we can explain away why you canât shiftâ she says.
âYou canât be serious mumâ
âItâs the only way, we canât have them find out till after you have proven yourself useful to the packâ
âNo I wonât take itâ I tell her not wanting to take the wolfsbane pill. My mother used to give them to me when I didnât get my wolf to hide it from the Alpha at first. Then she started giving me them to build up a tolerance to them, to prepare me for when I am older. Well until dad found out and lost it.
He stopped believing the excuses about how I was ingesting the worst poison to werewolves.
âYou will take them and you say one word to your father, young ladyâ she warns.
âHe will smell it on meâ I tell her knowing full well my father would recognise the smell.
âNot in pill form he wonâtâ she says opening the black box she kept her stash in. It was the size of a wallet.
She opens it showing me the little white pills. She grabs one out hissing slightly as it burns her fingers. And to think she expects me to swallow it.
âNo!â I tell her and she glares.
âI will not throw everything down the drain for a tantrum, now F*cking take it Katâ
âAnd exactly how do I explain I ingested to wolfsbaneâ
âTell them you must have got some on you in science or something, this is all I have at the moment as an excuse. You say your sick you look weak, i wonât have you embarrass me further understoodâ
âYou embarrass yourself â I tell her, her palm connecting with my face.
âYou dare speak to me in such a way after everything I have done for youâ she says, grabbing my hand and dropping the pill in it. It burns a hole in my palm, the skin sizzling like a cigarette burn.
âSwallow it nowâ she yells, handing me a water bottle. I do as she says. Swallowing the pill down. This wasnât going to work. Why couldnât she see that I was with the Alpha all lunch and was fine, he will know and I will get in trouble with her when he finds out.
I follow her out, pain kicking in as I reach the door making me double over. âMum!â I cry out clutching my stomach.
âYou get out there even like this you can still kick their arsesâ
âNo mum, they will be in wolf formâ
âThatâs no excuse, you are my daughter and your fatherâs, things are expected of you, so donât let me down Katâ she says gripping my arm and all but dragging me to the field. Seeing a trash can, I run for it puking my guts up. My mother starts singing out names.
I was sweating profusely, my stomach aching and my blood felt like it was boiling.
âHey you okay?â Jasmine asks through the mind lk. I shake my head, not able to even mindlk back. My vision blurring terribly when I hear my mother call my name then Angieâs.
Sht!â My mother gasps barely audible to my ears. Great Angie is going to rip me to pieces.
Everyone goes to their positions but I couldnât even stand upright. Angie wastes no time lunging at me. I see just in time as her fist comes flying toward my face. I duck but stumble backwards and she goes to jump on me. Lifting my foot I kick her in the face. She staggered but now I could see two of her, my vision doubling.
I hear the snapping of bones, black dots dancing in front of my vision.
âGet up Kat whatâs wrong you barely had any?â My mother mind links.
âYes but havenât had any in years, my tolerance is lowâ I manage to mindlink back barely.
âSh*t get up!â I was too weak to mindlink back when I saw teeth and claws suddenly coming toward me. I close my eyes waiting for the extra pain.
When I hear a collective gasp. I hear whimpering and open my eyes. Angieâs brown wolf head bowed in submission. I feel something drip on me and notice an arm above me. Blood pouring onto me and I look to see who it is only to find the Alpha standing there and his Beta. Angie bit the Alpha who stopped her attacking me.
âShe wasnât even shifted Angieâ he growls so menacingly, my body trembles from the rage behind it.
Angie whimpers loudly.
âWhatâs the meaning of this and why can I smell wolfsbane?â he says, reaching down and picking me up. I try to get out of his arms but he growls, Instead pressing his face in my neck.
âWhy does she have wolfsbane in her system?â My eyes start fluttering shut.
âStay awake Katâ I heard him whisper before I thought I felt his lips brush my head.
âKatya say something?â. My motherâs voice comes through my head.
My tongue was swollen, my throat restricting as I wheezed out trying to answer. My motherâs panicked shriek reaching my ears.
âSh*t get the pack doctorâ I hear Alpha Ezra yell. Before I could feel running. I black out feeling like Iâm being strangled to death as my throat closes.
My motherâs voice flitted in my head.
âIâm so sorry baby so sorry , stay with us Kat hold on helps comingâ
