MAYA
I was pleasantly surprised when I saw my coworkers standing there in the doorway, admiring the whole thing. I had not introduced myself to some of them so I decided it was time to talk to them about it so I could get more information concerning what was going on.
“Hi, I’m Rose and I recently started working here. Although I’m an apprentice. I’m still learning.” I said. One of them gave me a curious look.
“Are you the new girl?” She asked. I nodded happily.
“Yes, I am.” She beamed again.
“Welcome, what’s your name?”
I introduced myself and they all shook their heads and welcomed me. They sounded so hospitable that I nearly forgot why I had stopped to talk to them but once I remembered, I delved back into it.
But before I could ask a question, they were already talking about it. I just stood there and listened to the girl who I’d introduced myself to chatter about the arrival of the Alphas. They were so freaking excited. My curiosity kept getting higher and higher.
“It’s rumoured that Alpha Ryker is planning on dealing the final blow with the Black Moon Pack.” She said. “From reports, the previous attacks worked and the Alpha’s brother was killed during one of the attacks. They say he has fallen into depression and this would be the best chance to kill him off. So he will be launching an attack on their territory anytime soon and he will claim it as his as soon as that is done. I can’t wait to be transferred there as soon as the conquest is over. They say it’s a lot better than here. But it’s very far.” She added. I knew, there and then, that she was talking about my Pack.
Oh My God. This was very bad! The worst part of it was the fact that they all sounded so excited. My blood ran cold at the news and my mind was reeling so much shock and disbelief. Someone had to do something, someone had to stop these mad bastards before they did more harm.
And I knew that person was me. If I couldn’t do anything about this, then we were surely going to suffer more damage in the nearest future. I wondered what Venom was doing about this. I vet he had no idea about Alpha Orion sneaking out. He could even have no idea and that was very bad. I had to let him know about it, as soon as possible.
It seemed unthinkable because the whole thing felt like a dream but I knew that it was unthinkable and it was in fact, real. I had to stop them here. But the depressing thing about it was that there was a only two of us, against the hundreds of thousands of people inside this Pack. I couldn’t stop the question that slipped out of my mouth.
“That sounds good.” I said and asked.
“What about the Pack members? I’m not sure we will be able to fit in with all of them once the Pack is overtaken.” She turned towards me with a sombre look on her face before she replied.
“Many of them would be killed by Alpha Ryker’s assassins. More are still being killed. I heard he has deployed some assassins to go in and kill their men. If their workforce gets low, they won’t have no other option than to surrender before they even know what hit them. I don’t care if you like him or not, but we all should appreciate Alpha Ryker’s genius. He’s a very intelligent Alpha and he will take us to great heights if he continues this way. I can’t wait for that to happen.” She finished before staring taught ahead. It was clear that none of them even felt a thing for the Pack members.
They saved lives here but didn’t care if the members of my Pack were all exterminated, the only thing that mattered to them was getting to the Pack, anything else was thrown out the window. I felt a surge of anger and frustration rise because of the callousness with which they spoke of the impending disaster.
How could they be so indifferent to the suffering of others? I wasn’t wrong when I termed them a horrible Pack.
I replied to make them think I was also on the same page with them.
“Wow. That will be wonderful. But I’d like to stay here though.” They all turned to me and laughed, making remarks about my naivety and why they would choose the Blue Moon Pack over here.
My anger was getting worse and I knew I had to get out of the circle immediately before I hurt someone, especially the bitch who was still talking about my Pack. She was very good at running her mouth and couldn’t wait to see a lot of people killed.
Walking out of there, I returned to the large room where I was having my lessons. I sat there on the stool and started to think again. The air felt oppressive inside her but I didn’t care. I needed a solution to this whole thing but the more I thought about it and wanted a brainwave, the more frustrated I got.
There was no single brainwave I got and it seemed as if I wouldn’t get any. But I knew that dwelling on my anger wouldn’t help me accomplish a single thing. Instead, I decided to focus on my work, determined to do whatever I could to help my Pack in this terrible time. As I went out of the room again, I headed straight to the doorway. I met the bitch there again. By this time the Alphas were gone and were probably inside the Packhouse. I approached her with a warm smile.Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.
“Uum… I was wondering if you knew when the meeting would start?” I asked but she shook her head.
“I’m sorry, I don’t. But I hope you know you can’t be allowed anywhere near the Packhouse considering what just happened.”
I felt an urge to try the riskiest thing I’d ever done, to slip into the Pack unnoticed.
