Blood, Gold, and Silver Chapter 27
“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.“

A cup smacked painfully into my forehead, splashing wine all over me.“Wake up, Cutter,” Misty seethed at me from her place at the dinner table. I’d been standing against the wall in place of the usual two servants, ready to bring my family anything they needed. And with how tired I was, I ended up nodding off while still on my feet. “Cleary, I need more wine.”“Yes, ma’am,” I said with a start, trying to rub my throbbing temple and clean the stinging liquid out of my eyes at the same time as I knelt down to collect Misty’s wine goblet. Chris was chuckling, but both Luna Lannie and Lord Grizzle were deep in a mental conversation.Apparently, they received a letter from the Night King.No one knew what species the Night King really was, and most suspected that he was some kind of hybrid of several. Either way, he was the most powerful supernatural being on the planet, and we all fell under his domain. His Night Guards were always sent in to clean up anytime an incident came up that mig

I’d already been running, slowly hobbling, up and down the roads of the neighborhood around the Manor for two hours.The Packhouse, where large meetings took place and where passing wolves could spend the night if needed, had a large clocktower on top which I used as a reference. I was just passing by it again, disappointed by how little time had passed since my last lap, when I ended up tripping over something and went crashing to the ground.Wheezing, my leg throbbing, and defeated, all I wanted to do was lay there and fall asleep. Even the ever increasing shocks did little to motivate me this time. I was about to curl into a ball and wait to pass out when I caught a scent in the air.It was the most delicious one I’d ever smelled before.Which meant Ben was nearby, and sure enough, I could hear footsteps coming in my direction.“Your parent’s must really think I’m dense,” Ben said cooly, holding his hand out for me to take. “I made it pretty clear at school that your no longer my f

“Ayla, wake up, now,” Mrs. Rockman shouted sternly as she slammed a book on the desk next to my head. I shot awake so fast that I ended up falling to the floor in a panic. The room burst into laughter around me as my face burned. “Stand in the corner for the rest of class. That might help you stay focused. If I catch you drifting off again, it will be detention.”“Yes, ma’am,” I answered as I struggled to my feet, grabbing my crutches. In my stupor, I was too slow to avoid being tripped and ended up flat on my face again, causing the room to explode into laugher all over again.Mrs. Rockman rolled her eyes. “You will stop disrupting my class, right now,” she scolded, her words cutting deep. “And do try to take some pride in your appearance, you are the adopted daughter of the Alpha Lord, are you not. Your hair is a disaster, your cloths are filthy, and even an amateur with some foundation could hide those bags under your eyes. You’re a disgrace to this Pack.”Blinking back tears, I no

MaizeMisty was actually a lot of fun the previous night during their welcome party at the Alpha’s Manor. She and her friends were a lot like Maize’s friends back home, a mix of toughness and femininity. And above all else, they were strong willed.Maize couldn’t stand weak people, those without backbones or willingness to fight. Most of her fellow classmates back home were scared of her to some extent, thanks to her status in the Pack. Only the children of other Pack leaders, like her brother, Dutch, and Lenny, had her respect. She love her Pack, and would do anything to defend each and every citizen in her Kingdom, but that didn’t mean she had to pretend to like them all.It was simple really, she could be fast friends with strong people, and everyone else she kept at a polite distance. She never bullied the weak, nor tried to demean or discourage them, she just left them alone to live their own lives. Besides, with how chivalrous her brother tried to be, she would’ve had to face hi

Maize.“What the hell are you doing,” Ben screamed in her head. “Stop falling for their stupid tricks. This is all just an act, hoping to trick one of us into allowing that snobby brat into our inner circle.”“I don’t know what came over me, honestly,” Maize replied back, still not believing she’d lost her cool like that. Normally she was the responsible one in the group, even though she was a year younger than Ben and the other two. “I just saw the video they made at your bonfire last Friday, and an overpowering desire to smack a bitch took over. I’m sorry.”“Did Maize just apologize,” Lenny snickered, causing her to roll her eyes. He never could take any situation seriously. “Quick, someone go buy a lottery ticked or something, hell must’ve froze over.”“Shut up and start thinking, idiot,” Dutch growled at him. “If we don’t smooth things over with the queen bee, then we are finished here.”“Leave it to me,” Maize sighed, building her resolve back up. She had to remember that Ayla wa

“I’m very sorry for what I said yesterday, ma’am,” I said with as much emotion as I could muster. Kneeling on the floor in front of her and her friends, my forehead pressed against her expensive carpet, I at least didn’t have to look at her while I demeaned myself.“It was two day’s ago, you idiot,” Misty growled, standing over me like a looming demon. “Clearly you didn’t put any thought into your apology, even after I gave you plenty of time to work on it. I’ll give you one last chance to really sell it, otherwise it’s another night of running around.”Lacy and the other two giggled, whispering criticisms about my appearance, but I barely heard any of it. Had it really been two days already? I was so tired, and the side effects of the medicine I drank a few minutes ago were already kicking it. A cold sweat covered my forehead as I wracked my brain for a new approach.Closing my eyes, I planned to just rest for a moment while I thought about what to say.I must’ve fallen asleep becaus

“Attention,” Duncan and Mary called out as I stepped through the gate. To my shock and amazement, every single cub in the cage came running over to stand beside the two of them. A smile lit up my face, and just like that I felt a surge of energy. It wasn’t much, but it might be enough to get me through this.“What are you orders, Twinkle Toes,” Mary called out. “Shall we start with warm-ups?”I nodded, making sure I looked and sounded serious. “Correct. Captain Duncan, Captain Mary, lead your warriors through their paces. Report back once your task is completed.”“Yes, Luna,” they all called out, stopping my breath as they jumped right in. I knew we were only playing make-believe, but it still shocked me to hear them call me that. It made sense, I suppose, since being the Luna was the highest rank a female can typically achieve. There were a few legendary female Alpha’s throughout history, but they were exceedingly rare.It also troubled me too.I’d met several Luna’s during my time i

“Wait, what,” Ben asked, looking at me with a confused expression. “I thought you were on a diet and those were protein shakes?”Damn.Unable to think clearly in my state, I just blurt something out. “I’m sorry for lying, it’s just that my illness makes people uncomfortable, so I try not to draw attention to it.”“Have you really never eaten real food before,” Maize asked, sadness in her eyes. This was why I didn’t like talking about it, because now all I could do was envy everyone else again. I’d spent a long time, years now, suppressing my desires to eat all the yummy foods around me. And now I wasn’t strong enough to suppress it again.Then, just to make matters worse, my stomach made a violent sound.“I’ve tried a few things over the years,” I answered when I saw Luna Lannie secretly glaring at me. “Master Nathaniel had me experiment with several types of foods to see if I could keep any down. And the few memories I have from before I came to live here tell me that my parents were

“You look beautiful, as always,” Ben smiled as he kissed my hand, sending warm tingles down my arm. He offered his arm to me, just as Chris did for Misty and Alpha Lord Grizzle did for Luna Lannie.“You look quite dashing yourself,” I said, blushing as I reached up to fix his collar. “Dark color’s look really good on you.”“Really,” he said, nodding his head to himself before turning his attention back to me. “Come, I want to introduce you to my parents.” My nervousness exploded and my heart raced as he led be to Maize and the two people standing next to her.Ben clearly inherited his good looks with his father, who stood just as tall and had very similar features, essentially looking like an older and more refined version of him. He was also powerfully built, looking like he kept up with his training. His mother was, if possible, even more imposing. Her beauty rivaled that of Maize, her tall physique was equally as impressive as her mate’s, her eyes screamed intelligence, but also 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
