ISBERLT.
I dab my palm against my cheek harshly; anger streaming through my veins as I look up to meet the stupefied face of Heather— The old woman— and the frantic face of Peter at the thought that he's been caught.
"What's happening here? Isberlt?"
Heather gazes over Peter's shoulder to glance at me, and I rise on my feet, clutching the dress to my chest as I wait for the bastard to say something.
"Nothing happened here. You saw nothing; do you understand?" I watch in skepticism as heather gazes at me, then back to Peter, a despicable look crossing her face as she gazes at me again than a frightened one covering it up as she gazes back at Peter.
You must be fucking kidding me! Don't tell me she's going to fucking agree to this? This motherfucker almost raped me! He fucking assaulted me!
"Do you understand me, Heather? For Evelyn's sake?"
He smiles at her— a warning smile— and Hea
ISBERLT.A familiar sentiment shoots through my body as I turn around in my stand to come into view with a smoking Rita."Of course it's you!" She laughs, her eyes trailing down my body, taking my appearance in with a too familiar glint in her eyes. "I felt like it's you! I thought you left us, how come you're here?" She raises her brows at me, twirling a strand of her hair around her fingers as she smiles mischievously at me, and I bite down on my tongue; my hands curling into fists as the memories of everything this girl that stands before me comes rushing back.You see; Rita is the daughter of Alpha Gael, my old pack's Alpha, and just like her father— Rita is one of the most horrible people I have ever met.She's selfish and greedy to the very core. Not to talk about the fact that she's a manipulating dirty little bitch, and the things she's done to me; I can never forget.A SHORT FLASHBACK.[EIGHT YEAR
ISBERLT.I can hear the pounding of my heart echoing through my ears as I stare at the men that stand before me, like predators ready to devour their prey, with frightened eyes.A soft whimper slides through my parted lips as the man at the left side moves forward, and I shake my head; thrashing backwards, only to be stopped by a foot against my head.I peek around my surroundings and realize there's no escape from me. Not from people who wants to see me suffer. Not from my Beta friend that stands meters away with a sad expression covering his face. Not from the sharp gaze that meets mine with a menacing smirk; as if telling me they finally got me. Not from the Alpha that banished my family, and destroyed us years ago. Not from the delighted countenance of Rita, the prominent cause of everything that's happening. And not from the Alpha that gave the order.I'm dragged back into reality, and the dilemma that's about to befall me as
THE HUMAN WORLD.SCIENTIFIC WORLD. THE LAB.Three doctors with a mask enclosing their face stand beside a woman who's presently shackled to the bed, unclothed with her legs spread wide apart."Please, let me go,"Silent wails fall from her lips, but to no avail. They only give her a look of fake pity before looking towards the door while two guards fight against a Feral wolf. One that's insanely hysterical and has forfeited all awareness of contemplation.The doctors move away from the bed soon they see the wolf stop struggling against the guard.He sniffs the air from where he stands, the scent of the woman's arousal so high in the air that it gives him a bitterly rapid erection."Let him go, and keep the door open."One of the doctors says, and the guards let go of the wolf, opening the door, and with no other words being said— he pushes in, eyes trained on the woman that's chained to
ISBERLT."You are awake,"The familiar voice echoes around the room, and I moan as I hold onto my head— one that feels like it's just being smashed by a rod."Are you okay?" The voice comes again, and I shake my head, my gaze turning towards where it's coming from, and Heather is staring at me with genuine concern covering her feature."Be careful,"She stands to aid me to lay against the headboard, and I glance around to take in my surroundings— realising that this isn't my room. The penitentiary to be precise."What am I doing here?"I implore her, my eyes moistening as the memories of what went down flow through my mind.Fucking Rita, and that stupid stunt she pulled on me. Discerning Alpha Gael again, and almost getting displeased before everyone.The last thing I remember is being hoisted by an angry-looking Alpha. In a very harsh manner.What happened after— ho
ISBERLT.I move to sit up as the woman walks in with a scowl on her face, her dress cascading to the floor— the red material complimenting her look, and giving a bright glow to her glamorous face.Heather moves from beside me, and she takes a step towards her— her arms folded before her as she bows, but the woman merely ignore her, and walks towards me; her gaze resting upon mine, and giving me an unnerving customary sentiment at my abdomen."Leave us,"She orders, nodding towards Heather who lifts her head with widened eyes. She glances at me with worry in her eyes, and I wonder why.Why's she concerned about the fact that this woman wants privacy with me? It's not like she is going to kill me, or anything.But again, Rio did say she's a dangerous woman that shouldn't be messed with. Though I see no reason why I should be afraid of her when I have never crossed her line."Did you not he
ISBERLT."So I heard you came up top for your department, Isberlt. That's a very nice performance there considering how complicated our world can be. "Doctor Zion says as he leads me through the long, white-painted corridor lined with metal on all surfaces, and I can't help the excitement that bubbles through me as I nod my head, a feeling of satisfaction coursing through me at the accomplishment, and his acknowledge to my intelligence.For years, I've studied biological researches, and Doctor Zion has been my role model all through the years.Doctor Zion is the first biological researcher to come up with how our DNAs can be changed through a process known as CRISPR. Short for Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeat.The research earned him a name, and it's said that the government had approached him to join their researching agencies— all of which he declined to create a world of his own, along with
ISBERLT."Be careful,"Rio says with a stroke on my back as we both stands before the Alpha King's room, and I nod with a smile on my face, before turning back to the door."You may come in,"His voice comes through seconds later, and Rio gives me one more smile before walking through the hallway we both came from; his frame disappearing within seconds, and leaving me with sweaty palms, and a trembling body as I analyze the last moments I saw this man.It was very ugly, because I transgressed him, and for the sake of myself— I hope he doesn't say anything that will make me snap.Wrapping my fingers around the doorknob, the metal felt cold against my skin— I push the door open, and take in a low whiff to calm down my racing heart before stepping through the door, and closing it behind me.I stand there, suddenly paralysed as I take in the Alpha King's form that stands meters away from me, his b
THEODORE."My Alpha,"Katniss moans beneath me as I bury myself deep inside of her wet core, and I groan before heaving one of her legs; allowing me to shove myself in deeper.I can't believe that woman supposed she could just show up here, and mess everything up! The effrontery to ask about the wolves she put in danger after successfully creating a bigger mess of everything."Yes! Please, more! Fuck!"I pay no compassion to Katniss's moans, and pleads as the image of blonde hair appearing at my door runs through my mind.A certain blonde hair that makes me so fucking agitated.FLASHBACK FROM THE NIGHT OF THE MOONBALL PARTY."I truly do not understand why this woman can not be punished. Is there something going on that you're not telling us, Alpha King?"Andrew questions with his hands folded on the desk before him, and I grit my teeth; the image of him lifting Isberlt with claws digging int
ISBERLT.He's staring at me. His sharp gaze is pointed at me, and he's barring his fangs at me.The world seems to be still for a damn second, and I suddenly forget how to breathe, move, or so any damn thing as my gaze rests on the huge wolf before me.He takes one step forward, and the echoes of my heart drumming fast against my chest is loud in my ears as dear courses through my veins."Isberlt, " the sound of Rio's voice pulls me out of my daze, and I move my gaze across the room; finding his at the far side of the room. He shakes his head, and holds a finger over his lips. What the fuck is that supposed to mean?"Do not move, " he says, looking scared himself, and I have no idea what the hell he's talking about.I suddenly remember that we are not the only ones in the room, and my eyes move to the other Alpha's who looks equa
ISBERLT.I stand before eyes that once judged me, and I believe are still doing, with hands that have been raised against me, and mouths that have uttered words is disgust to me with my heart pounding against my chest.Moving my gaze across the room; I easily find Rio next to one of the scary-looking Alpha, and he raises his thumbs at me with a smile—encouraging me.Returning his smile, my gaze moves to the Alpha King standing beside him, and I nod at him to signify that I'm ready.He responds with a nod before raising from his seat, and walking towards the rest of the Alphas."Isberlt. Are you ready to provide us with everything we need about the Sera?" He questions, and I nod, before saying, "I'm ready to enlighten you on the research I've made. I never knew of the creation, so I don't know the entirety of its process, but so far, what I've g
ERIC.Sauntering away from Katniss, understanding she's in pain, took everything in me.I know she brought this upon herself by imperilling the life, and endeavouring to take a life of an innocent, but I can't help but feel this is all my fault.I've known Katniss since she was a kid, and she was never like this. That little girl was nothing like the bitter woman that settles within the walls of that penitentiary right now. That little girl was who saved me, and I failed to do the same to her.I knew the moment she was no longer herself. The moment she sacrificed herself just to be with the man she's in love with; even if it means in the wrong way.Katniss has been in love with Theodore since she grew to know what that word means, and she did everything to capture his interest. She ruined herself for him, and sometimes, I want to blame Theodore for i
Eric gapes at the woman that sits before him with a sigh skidding through his parted lips— the metal bars being the only thing that separates them. Taking a seat on the concrete floor with his hands on his knees, the man tilts his head; studying a sobbing Katniss who has her head bowed. "It shouldn't have had to be like this, Katniss, " he speaks with a depressing tone, his eyes on the woman that's stolen his heart. The woman he's fallen so deeply for without even realising it. The woman he will do anything for, but rejects his affection every single time. The woman he wants, but who unfortunately wants his friend. "What are you talking about?" Katniss finally speaks, raising her head; her hand swiping over her skin harshly to wipe the tears away. "You shouldn't have to be here, Katniss. You could be with me... In peace. " Eric says, and Katniss scoffs; crossing her ar
ISBERLT.I push the tray aside, focusing my gaze on an Alpha that's feet away from me; his gaze on the screen that sits on the desk, and his fingers typing away.What's he always doing on that laptop, I wonder. Perhaps some Alpha work?Gazing down at the big t-shirt that's on me; his scent swirling around my body, and engulfing me, I can't help but wonder what the hell happened.What the hell happened to that Alpha that hated me more than anything? Though I doubt that hatred for me has changed, there's something else.It's in the way he speaks in a much softer tone, and the way he doesn't look at me like the very existence of me disgusts him, like he always does.He saved me from those wolves, and nursed me— though he hate being so close to me, and he made that clear.This is why I can't help but
RIO. I glance back at Eric as the Alpha King carries Isberlt towards the packhouse, still very much in his wolf form. He's refused to let anyone else grab hold of her, and the sudden possessiveness intrigues me. Glaring at the wolves that scream in agony at our feet, I shake my head as bitterness fill me. I can't believe Katniss set this up. I know that woman is up to no good, but doing this to her? For what exactly? Because she's in a lower position than her, and can barely defend herself? "Do you think we should take them away?" I ask Eric who finally turn his attention back to me. Taking a look at the wolves, he shakes his head, and say, "No, we shouldn't. They had no right to attack a defenceless wolf. They might be my family, but this... We will never tolerate it. They will suffer for what they have done; along with their Queen that set up this evil scheme. " Nodding, I glance at him with my brows lifted an
THEODORE. "So I think we should..." Eric's voice trails off as my wolf growls within me, and it's an unusual kind as I can feel his anger deep within my bones, spreading through my body like a bowl of fucking hot fire. "Alpha King, are you okay?" Eric's voice is nothing but an echo in my ears as I clench onto the verges of my desk, feeling my knuckles go white from how tight I'm holding onto the rigid furniture. "Fuck!" I growl, nudging the desk away, and rising to my feet. Opening my senses to my surroundings, Eric is gazing at me with a curious expression covering his look, and Rio doesn't look so good either. They are hurting her! Hurting her! Aztec growls within me, cracking my nerves once again, and I can feel the outrage simmering through me; flooding through my bones, and awakening the demon that I set to rest. "Isberlt..." I call out, surprising both men who give each other
ISBERLT. The echoes of my heart pounding against my chest is loud in my ear as I turn around in my stand, my eyes going over the wolves that bar their fangs at me; looking ready to devour me. Who the fuck are they? And where are they from? Anger oozes in me at the realization that Katniss lied! She fucking lied, and set me up! There's no Alpha King, or Rio, or Eric around here. She brought me here to be killed, and I can't believe I fell into it. She knows what she was doing; she planned everything well, and made me believe she was truly ordered to summon me though I had my doubts. Katniss is one of the most dangerous women I've ever met, Isberlt. You shouldn't attract her attention because that will only get you into trouble. I know you always have the urge to retaliate, but you shouldn't in this case. Keep to yourself if you don't want to get into trouble, Isberlt. This will be my first, an
ISBERLT. I look back at Heather who shrugs, telling me she doesn't know what's happening either, and I know she finds this situation just as weird as I find it. Why will the Alpha King send his mistress to come to take me? Why not Rio? Or any of his pack members? Why her? A strange feeling settles at the back of my mind, but I shake my head as I drop the tray, standing up. Heather grabs hold of my hand, and shakes her head at me, "What if it's dangerous, Isberlt?" She whispers, jerking her head towards an angry Katniss that stands by the door, and I smile at her, before grabbing her hand in mine. "It's not. I'm sure she wouldn't dare to do anything to me. " "You do not know Katniss, Isberlt. She's one of the most dangerous women I've ever encountered. She may seem like she's all innocent, and quiet now, but she's like a green snake under a green snake, and her attacks are always unexpected, and poisonous. "
