Blood, Gold, and Silver Chapter 14
It took my entire three-hour shift to carry everything to where it needed to go.Since our Pack’s main source of income was in mercenary work, selling our Warriors to the highest bidders amongst other Packs and even to the humans, our Clinic always needed to be well stocked. Therefore, there was never a shortage of hard manual labor needed to keep things organized and stocked. However, I did take a small break to visit the Long Term Ward, where those with the more serious injuries were housed.I helped the nurses there for a while, doing what little I could, because I knew exactly how they must’ve felt. It was only a matter of time before I ended up in a place like this someday, thanks to my illness, and by helping them it helped me come to terms with my future. It also helped that they were always in high spirits, and could always make me laugh by the time I had to go. There was even two new members today, both injured in the final battle against the Bloodmoon Vampires just a few day

It felt like my heart was going to explode right out of my chest.For the first time since I was ten and first moved into this house, I was allowed to eat at the table with my family. Sitting next to Misty normally would’ve made me nervous, like it did at lunch today, but it was the person sitting across from me that held my whole attention.Even though I made a point to never actually look at him.Ben sat right in front of me, and my heart fluttered every time I felt his eyes on me, which meant it was fluttering nonstop. Despite the fact that I was wearing thinner cloths than ever before in recent memory, I felt like I was going to melt.“You look nice tonight, Ayla,” Ben said to me after about twenty minutes of making small talk with my parents. A dropped my spoon, it startled me so much.“Th-thank you,” I stammered out quietly, my eyes just barely peaking up to meet his, before darting back down to my tasteless soup. My usual shake had simply been put into a bowl and called soup.

Ben smirked at he as I looked up at him again after the silence dragged on for too long, a look of victory in his eyes.Turning towards father, he finally spoke. “Alpha Lord Grizzle, would you mind if your daughter Ayla walked me home? Luna Lannie, the meal was delicious, and I look forward to the next time I’m invited to the Manor. Chris, Misty, I’ll see you both in the morning, I had a lot of fun today with you and your friends.”He stood up and walked around the table, holding his hand out for me to take.My heart began hammering again as I looked at my parents, wide eyed with freight.“Of course,” father said, getting to his feet as well. “And consider yourself invited for dinner every night. We will have a place ready for you at the table.”Mother stood as well, but her eyes were boring into me instead. “Ayla, my sweet, hurry right home after. We need to go over your homework.” Her aura pressed down on me just enough to make it clear that if I said anything dangerous, then I woul

“Good, now that the charade is over, we can get down to business,” Ben said, rolling off of me and getting back to his feet. He didn’t offer a hand, and that was probably for the best. In our struggle, I could feel that my cut had reopened and blood had started to soak into the thin glove in my right hand. After getting to my feet, I tucked my arm behind my back to hide it.“Now, I will tell everyone that you successfully seduced me and that you were a lot of fun,” he said, each word a further stab to my heart. “That way your family won’t get mad that you failed in your mission. In return, however, you will tell me everything I want to know about your grandfather.”“Why are you so interested in him,” I said, my voice still so numb and cold. I needed this to end quickly.“I have no interest in him, exactly,” Ben said, finally sounding normal again, instead of that scary and dangerous side I saw a moment ago. “My true goal, apart from helping to form an alliance with your Pack, is to tr

BenHe had to get away as fast as he could.For years now, he’d been fighting off girls trying to win his affection. When his brother was still alive, it was like a fun game that they played together, but since his death over a year ago, Ben killed that part of himself off.Or so he thought.This girl was good, very good, managing to hit him in all of his weak spots. Pretending to be a victim, working with the cubs, and challenging even his abilities to track a scent through the woods. It was like the Goddess placed this perfect harpy right in his path, just when he was so close to finally finding the man who killed his brother.But at least now he had the upper hand. He called her out for the temptress that she was, and now he had a valid leverage to make use of her going forward. Unless she pretended to be his conquest, then he would cut ties with her completely, which would put her on the wrong side of her parent’s ire. A girl like her couldn’t stand losing her extensive allowance.

The next two days were amongst the worst ever.Word spread like wildfire, and before I even stepped foot inside the school, everyone knew that Ben and I were a thing. Many of the guys who used to ignore me completely, even the ones who were cruel with their words, suddenly tried to hit on me. It was awkward, and with how little sleep I got, my mind couldn’t seem to find the words to respond.So, I just ducked my head and tried to flee whenever I could.That was bad enough, but nothing compared to the girls. With how much attention I was suddenly getting, not to mention the fact that many of the stronger females had their sights on Ben for themselves, I was declared enemy number one. I lost count of how many times I was tripped, had my belongings knocked from my hands, elbowed, had my hair pulled, ridiculed, or punished in some countless other ways.The worst was when Misty’s friends cornered me every time Ben pulled me away to some secluded room in the school for some alone time.

“You look like shit,” Rosie said as soon as I walked into her clinic.“I’m sorry, the cubs are relentless in Club,” I said, breathing hard after having ran all the way here. I didn’t think I could handle getting cornered in the woods by Ben. It was bad enough that Rose could probably still smell his scent on me.Rosie looked around to make sure the coast was clear, before stepping closer. This was never a good sign, and I braced for whatever bomb she wanted to drop. “Please, Ayla, let me give you a checkup. I promise that no one will ever find out, and no matter what I find, it will just stay between you and me.”Placing my best smile on my face, I laughed and waved her concern away. “I’m fine, really. Where would you like me today, ma’am? Did that shipment come in this morning?”Rosie glared into my soul for the longest time before she sighed. “It’s already taken care of, but you can help out in L-Term. Seven new patients were admitted today, so they have their hands full over there.

Everyone was so excited about the bonfire later tonight that I was left alone for most of the day. Only during lunch did I have to deal with Misty and her friends. Being the king and queen of the school, no one argued when Misty and Chris combined their tables so they could all eat together.With Ben sitting right in the middle of both groups.Since we needed to play along, Misty had some other freshman girl come over to be the tables servant instead of me. I felt bad for her, but it was made clear quite quickly that she was more than happy to do so. Every girl in the school would give just about anything to get closer to Misty. That didn’t mean I was off the hook however.“What’s the matter, poppet,” Ben asked near the end of lunch, using his special nickname for me. “You look uncoforatable. Is your diet shake not agreeing with you? You really should eat normal food, it’s foolish to think that you need to lose weight.”That was a lie Misty and Chris came up with for why I never ate so

“Hold still, or I’ll really give you something to cry about,” Luna Lannie seethed, crashing her aura into me. Biting my lip to keep from crying out, feeling lightheaded already, I braced as Margret tightened my corset even more.Ben, Maize, and their friends left school as soon as they recieved the call that their parents had arrived, leaving me alone with Misty and her friends. However, instead of resorting back to the their usual bullying, they continued on as they had this morning, talking about guys in the lewdest way possible. I learned more about my male classmates than I ever wanted too, and all the tips they were giving me to make sure Ben stuck around were still making my ears steam.Unfortunately, things took a turn for the worse when we returned home. As soon as I was through the door, Margaret stormed up and dragged me away to change. Practically screaming at me and whacking me with her stick for hours as I helped to clean the house and prepare for the dinner. I was a mess

This was by far the best day of school I’d ever had.Instead of classes, we had a pep rally followed by a series of games and competitions. Every year before this, ever since I first came to live in this Pack, I wasn’t allowed to participate. Instead, I was shuttled off to the lodge to begin cleaning and setting up for the weekend festivities.“Come on, I’ll race you to the top,” Ben challenged all of us when we reached the rock-climbing pillars. Ten in total, standing side by side in a row, they were one of the many pieces of equipment brought over from the Warrior Training facility for the day. And once school ended, they would be trasnported over to the lodge for the remainder of the weekend. “Loser pays the next diner bill.”“Your on,” Chris and Dillan say in unison and the other guys are right there behind them. Misty and her friends excused themselves, but Maize seemed even more excited then the guys. She was one very competitive chick.My back was throbbing with each step at th

“Why is she in here?”“And why is she naked?”“She must’ve been punished again, those bandages look fresh.”My eyes shot open to the sound of laugher, and they nearly popped out of my head when I looked over my shoulder to see Lacy, Evelyn, and Bethany standing over me. Scrambling away from them on instinct, I felt the wounds on my back tear. Then, just to prove that the Goddess hated me, I ended up tipping backwards off of bed, slamming into the ground with a solid thud.They exploded into laughter, leaving me to groan in both pain and embarrassment. After much struggling, I got onto my knees and slowly peeked over the edge of the bed. I quickly realized that I was in Misty’s room, and a few faint memories from a couple hours ago flooded into my head. After Rosie applied the silver and treated my back, Misty carried me up here and we took a bath together. I was so weak by that point that I couldn’t even lift my arms, let alone clean myself, so she had to do all the work. Even now, my

I was just so tired.I’d somehow fallen asleep at the diner, the extra shake I was given seemed to push me over the edge. The shot Rosie gave me this morning had started to fade after Clubs, and without it, I could barely stay awake while Misty and Maize took me shopping. It was a dream come true of mine, to be able to go into a store and spend hours trying on new things. Instead, I was angry with myself for spending the entire time in a daze.“Good night,” I said through a yawn as I hugged Maize.“And a good night to you too, Ayla,” Maize said back, hugging me tight. She also kissed me on the cheek, but unlike the confused flutters I got when Misty did that, this one left a warm tingle in my stomach. “Make sure you get plenty of sleep tonight since you didn't get any yesterday. A girl needs her beauty rest.”“I will, mom,” I teased, earning me a ruffled head. Then my breath was taken away when Ben moved up and, before I knew it, had his lips pressed against mine.Delirious already, I

Misty“I wanted to apologize again for my behavior up till now,” she said to Maize as they waited outside the changing room for Ayla. “I’m sure you know how overbearing parents can be, especially hot-headed Alpha’s. He might come off as uncaring and cruel, but he’s only doing it because he loves Ayla.”“How do you mean,” Maize asked, giving her a strange look. Misty knew in that moment that she had her counterpart from the Briar Kingdom in the palm of her hand.“Our ways might seem harsh to outsiders,” Misty explained, feigning sadness. “Our weaker elements are sent off to the smaller and more rural Pack's in our territory. Only the strongest are permitted to live here, to go to school here, and to train here. We are like the Spartans of old. Therefore, Ayla never should’ve been allowed to stay here. But father refused to let my sister be forced out. As a compromise, he told the Pack to toughen her up as best they could.”Maizie sighed after a time. “I guess I can understand that. My

Only it never came.Peaking out from behind my backpack, I was met with numerous confused faced. One of the mother’s laughed when she figured out what was going on.“I’m sorry, Ayla,” she said, stepping forward before squatting down a few feet in front of me. Her hands were up, showing she didn’t mean me any harm. “I guess I can’t blame you for reacting this way after yesterday. What with us rushing over here like that?”The other parents started to laugh too and one of the fathers came forward next to the first woman. It took me a moment to regconzine them.“Mr. and Mrs. Lecter,” I said, still hiding behind my bag. They were Duncan’s parents. As if to further prove it, Duncan barged through the crowd to stand between his parents and me.“I won’t let you hurt our Luna again,” he shouted, glaring at them.I groaned. “Duncan, you can’t call me that outside of the cage. You shouldn’t even call me that inside either.”His mother and several others chuckled as his antics. He wasn’t backing

It was strange having Misty and the others pretending to be nice to me all day, baffling many of our classmates and teachers.“What’s going on anyway,” Mr. Davidson asked as he walked me over to the Middle School after the final bell rang. He told Chris and Misty to take charge of warmups until he returned. “I thought I was seeing things when Dillian ran in before fourth period to bring you your crutches. I knew for a fact that they had disappeared yesterday before I could collect them. I requested a set to be brought over from the clinic, but the Principal shot that down. But just now, did I really see Misty showing some affection towards you?”My face heated up, hating that he noticed. Ever since lunch, Misty had been acting like the perfect big sister, not even threatening me or putting pressure on my back. Hugs, compliments, and more pain free physical contact than I’d ever really known. She even had me sit in her lap before Mr. Davidson’s last class started so she could massage m

“Ayla, could you stick around for a minute,” Mr. Davidson asked at the end of fourth period. “We need to discuss your behavior at Club yesterday.”Several of my classmates snickered as they left to go to lunch, everyone in the entire Pack already seemed to know that I pissed off Cythia somehow yesterday. I waited in my seat until the room was empty, then made my way up front as Mr. Davidson shut the door.“Mrs. Louis mentioned that you were looking for me yesterday,” he began, leaning against his desk.I held up my right arm. “I got burned again before school and was hoping to ask if you had anymore of that medicine.”“And how did you get burned this time,” he asked, his voice hard, causing me to keep my eyes on his shoes.“I can’t tell you that, sir,” I said softly.He sighed. “And I suppose you can’t tell me what happened last night between you and Rosie? She called me this morning with some bull about seeing to your treatment.”“That’s what she was doing, sir,” I answered truthfull

“Ayla, are you alright,” Maize said urgently the moment I reached the parking lot later that morning. “Why did you leave in the middle of the night? I’m sorry for falling asleep like that?”She wrapped me in a tight hug as soon as she reached me and my vision blurred when she touched the fresh wounds on my back. I must’ve made a sound because she pulled away quickly, leaning down till her eyes were level with mine.“I’m fine, really,” I said, forcing a smile. Rosie gave me another shot when I woke up, once again making it feel like I’d gotten a full night’s rest. She wasn’t allowed to give me anything for the pain, however, so every time I moved was a struggle. It was also why I carried my backpack in my hands, rather than on my back.“Why did you leave,” Maize asked, her voice getting a bit angrier.“I needed to go home for my medicine and treatment,” I answered truthfully. “I need to take my medicine every morning, and I was due for a treatment last night. That was why Rosie was esc
