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 s

“Ayla, please stay after for a moment so we can discuss your latest report,” Mr. Davidson said just before the final bell rang. He made it sound like I would be getting a scolding, but I know for a fact that I crushed that report.“Yes, sir,” I said, my voice weaker than I would’ve liked. I needed sleep, badly, so my body could try to heal a bit and adapt to my new medicine. But my bed was still a long way away.The rest of the class walked out, everyone smirking at me apart from Ben and his three friends. Ben was walking arm in arm with Misty now, and so his attention was all on her as she whispered into his ear. His two guy friends were talking excitedly with Chris and Dillan about Clubs, and Maize was on Misty’s other side.She did glance over in my direction when someone knocked my bag onto the floor, but only for an moment.Sighing, I gathered my belongings yet again.As soon as the last student left, Mr. Davidson checked to make sure no one was hanging around outside the door.“
Blood, Gold, and Silver Chapter 26
There were only two thing’s people were talking about come Monday.Master Nathian had to drive me to school Monday morning, my right leg unable to support itself anymore. He found a pair of ill fitting crutches in the Manor basement and gave them to me to use. Everyone went silent and stared at me as I hobbled my way inside.Since Werewolves healed so quickly, it was extremely rare to see someone using crutches, and the extra attention was the last thing I wanted. The new medicine Master Nathian made me take before we departed wasn’t sitting well with me at all either. Nausea made me want to throw up, my head felt fuzzy and slow, and worst of all, I felt like I was boiling alive. Despite the chill autumn air, I was already sweating before I even reached my first class.It was in the few minutes before the first bell rang that I finally heard the gossip, once everyone stopped snickering at me and returned to their original conversation. The first thing I found mildly interesting.Appar

Ben“How is old Drake doing these days,” a voice echoed through the study when Ben stepped inside, closing the door behind me. Looking over at the source, he found Roland sitting in a comfy armchair in front of a roaring fire. He wore no shirt, exposing countless battle scars across his torso, and when his powerful green eyes turned to take him in, Ben saw another scar running across his throat.“He is doing well, Lord Roland,” Ben said, bowing slightly. “He was very worried when rumors started spreading four years ago that you’d met your end.”“It nearly was,” Roland chuckled, gesturing to another armchair across from him. Ben walked over and sat down on the edge, ready to defend himself if the meeting turned unfortunate. Roland must’ve sensed this and chuckled again. “Relax, boy. It’s true that I lost my mind in that battle four years ago, but I should be sane for a little while longer. It comes and goes, you see. Now what can I help you with? I hear from my daughter and her mate th
Blood, Gold, and Silver Chapter 24
I was too tired the next morning to worry about how I looked.The sun wasn’t quite above the horizon yet as I walked down the street towards the northern outskirts of the town where Elder Lord Roland lived. Luna Lannie, after punishing me for ruining her cloths, and making it clear that I was going to pay her back for every penny, scrubbed the word off my forehead and did what she could to fix my hair. The scrubbing hurt a lot, but the haircut, at least, managed to calm me enough to get a few restless hours of sleep.“What’s with the new look,” Ben said as I walked past the house he was staying at. He jogged over to walk beside me, falling into place on my left. I saw him the moment his house came into view, but I still hoped that he had other plans this morning.I pulled my hood over my head without a word.“An interesting choice,” he chuckled nonchalantly. “It’s not my cup of tea, but as long as you dig it.”“I take it you didn’t get into Lord Roland’s Manor,” I asked, hoping to cha

I wasn’t going to cry.Pulling my knees to my chest, I rocked back and forth on the ground and counted. I knew from that first dinner that he had no interest in me. I knew that he didn’t look at me the same way I looked at him. And I knew that trying to flirt with him tonight was going to backfire bigtime.And yet, it still hurt as bad as that first night when he rejected me.I never had any intention of actually trying to seduce him tonight, but from the moment I opened the door and saw the look on his face, a warmth and boldness started building up inside of me through the night. When he helped me out of the car, when he held my hand while we mingled, when he ran each time I needed a new water, and especially when we started dancing.I never felt so alive before.Nor had I ever laughed so much in such a short amount of time. And when my brother, his friends, and their friends all started to take a turn at dancing with me, I was left speechless. Even more so when I saw the look on Be

BenHe’d only had a couple drinks, not nearly enough to affect him as bad as this.But, as much as he wanted to blame his condition on the beer, he knew it started long before his first sip. It was the moment that girl opened the door.It wasn’t the makeup, which she finally seemed to learn to apply properly, or even the hair or clothes. It was her eyes that captivated him, and not for the right reasons. He’d seen that look in many girls eyes, the hungry one that shouted that they, and their inner wolves, wanted to snack on him. She had that same look, and normally this would've instantly put him on the defensive, but not this time.His wolf often yearned to chase after many of the girls who threw themselves at Ben, saying that their wolves were strong and would put up a good fight. It often annoyed Ben, having to argue for hours about why he chose to stay away from people like that. He had enough trouble on his plate without adding a host of fangirls.But this time was different.It

The look on Ben’s face when I opened the door almost made me giggle.With how nervous I was, however, all I could manage was a small smile as he openly gaped at me for an uncomfortably long few seconds. Thankfully, for once, the appearance of my siblings and their friends saved me from having to say anything.Chris’s friends all whistled at me and said nice, although dirty, things, while Misty’s friends eyed me up critically. They would never be caught dead complimenting me, but they also couldn’t seem to find any flaws to nitpick either. It probably also helped that they knew Luna Lannie was responsible, and so any critiques of my appearance would be a critique of her work.“You look,” Ben said after the rest of the group rushed outside excitedly, heading for their cars. “Wow, I hardly even recognized you.”“You look very handsome too,” I said, smiling again despite my crippling fear. And it wasn’t even a lie, as the outfit he picked out made him look even more perfect that normal. I
