Love me, Love me Not

Chapter 9

Now that they agreed, my plan was officially in action. The wolves were departing toward the Scrubban house in counts more than the Scrubbans could fight on their own. The Princes plus the rest of the pack. They hid in the woods silently and were to wait until they got a signal from me, which would be a short whistle. I was going to go into the house acting panicked like I was being followed, and then bam, they would attack. Carlos wouldn't tell me which one he was going to kill. He said I wasn't privileged of that knowledge, but I had a small idea it was going to be Ty.
I ran into the Scrubban house and slammed the door so hard that the walls shook. Everyone ran into the common room to see what was going on, as I had the fake look of panic on my face. "Sariba?! What's going on?" Roni asked as he came over to me all concerning. "They followed me." I panted. I started to fake cry and shake with panic and this caused all the Scrubbans to huddle around me, wondering why I was suddenly having a "panic attack." "Who?! Who followed you!" Roni yelled at me. I put my head in my hands and started crying while he was screaming at me about leading someone to the house. Than I did it. I whistled. "Roni! Shh!" Mia screamed at him. "What?!" He yelled back. That was exactly when they realized the situation they were in. A bunch of howls echoed from the woods in front of the house, and about a dozen wolves exited into the opening. At this point I saw a bunch of glares piercing into my skull from Silver, Tom and Malinda herself. A part of me knew that they knew this was my fault. "Are you gonna fight with us?" Marti asked from beside me. I winced and looked at her with only a little bit of regret.

"Actually, no. I'm sorry guys.." I said wincing and backing away. As I was backing away I felt Carlos nudge me with his nose in wolf as he growled towards the Scrubban family. Carlos was a pure white wolf, and the only white wolf in his whole pack. Him making this small move automatically gave me away, and the looks on their faces had nothing but betrayal. As I was leaving to head back to the pack grounds, I turned around for a split second, and that's when I saw Carlos tearing Tys neck off of his shoulders. I shouldn't have been sad at all. This was my idea, but I felt a little guilty. After that it was all screams and yelps from both sides. I ran, and I didn't turn back. I didn't stop until I hit the pack house. When I got there, there was my brother and two other boys already there waiting for me. One had blonde hair and green eyes, and the other looked like Mia, just slightly older and more buff.

"James! What are you doing here?" I screamed and I tackled him in a hug. He twirled me around in the hug and set me down on the couch in the common room while his friends sat beside me, who I learned were Kendall and Logan. "I heard what you did to the Scrubbans.. why?" He asked sincerely. I shrugged my shoulders and avoided eye contact with him. I observed Kendall and I noticed he had a wedding ring on, so he must be married. Logan looks like he doesn't even want to be here. "I need them to hate me James.. I can't pretend anymore." I cried. Logan looked up from his phone and shot me the meanest glare I've ever seen. "I went into hiding for a reason, and I come here, to hear that you put my cousin in a death trap?!" Logan screamed at me. I jumped at his tone and hid behind my brother who immediately became protective of me. "Who's your cousin?" I whispered from behind him. "Mia." Logan hissed at me. Kendall just sighed beside him and pulled Logan back down onto the couch. I can officially tell who controls who.

"We aren't what you think Sariba.. We're like you.. I'm just the better half of my brother Klaus." Kendall chuckled. I've heard of Klaus. He was a northern vampire who died and was injected with a potion that turned him into a werewolf. He's manipulative and evil, and knows everything about everyone. "Are you just as evil as him?" I asked Kendall sincerely, who again, laughed at me. "Yes, worse if I'm being honest." Kendall replied. Atleast he's honest. James, Kendall, Logan and I all looked out the window as we heard the loud thumping of paws hitting the ground. We heard angry howls in the distance ,  while all the wolves but the four princes emerged from the trees.

"Maybe we should go, James. We'll see you later." Logan said. He grabbed Kendall and they both dashed out into the woods to head back into the Northern Kingdom. When I looked back up, I saw my older brother looking more pissed off than he had just moments before when his friends were in the room. Carlos and his brothers finally emerged from the tree line and shifted back into their human form. "You had one job Sariba.. atleast now you can be with your mate." James growled at me silently. I winced at his tone and his grip on my wrist tightened as I tried to pull away. The four brothers entered the common room and immediately you could feel the tension in the air when they saw my brother. Atleast, the tension between my brother and Javi, he was best friends with Carlos.

"James, you can release your grip from her. They were hurting her." Carlos said. He pried James' hand off of my wrist and gently pulled me into his chest. I heard James sigh with annoyance at the sight of us, but he understood. "She never tells me anything, I would've gotten her out myself." James argued. I scoffed and James just looked at me with a side eye, and I knew an argument was coming. "James, I didn't want to go down there in the first place.. I knew Mia and the Scrubbans were trouble." I argued. "Well you had a big mouth and told them about me!" James argued back. We both continued screaming at eachother for about two hours straight until Carlos and Andres had to break us up.
"ENOUGH!" Andres screamed. "The Princess is pregnant with Prince Roni's child, we had to attack the weak one." Carlos chimed in. I looked at him in surprise. Mia was pregnant. She never told me? "The red head is pregnant too, I could smell it." Javi said as he entered the room. He had a sandwich in his mouth while he was talking. "Ew Javi, don't talk with your mouth full." I grimaced. He threw his sandwich at me and went back into his room. "Gross.." I grimaced.

"Okay well.. Sariba still got someone killed for her own selfish reasons." James argued again. If looks could kill, Carlos would've killed him right than and there. At this moment I knew to sit down and shut up because, the two best friends were about to get into it over yours truly. "Maybe she didn't want to be a pawn in your game anymore James." Carlos argued back to him. This caused James to sneer and his eyes turned a dark shade of red. I put a pillow over my face to hide the worry that was starting to spread. "Whatever. She can stay with you guys over the summer. I don't care. I'm going home." James yelled. With that he opened the portal to the Southern Kingdom and left before I could say goodbye.

I sighed with relief and looked at Carlos who was now sat beside me. He smirked at me and I rolled my eyes and hit him with the pillow before laying on his lap. This will be a good summer and a good break from family drama. After sitting in silence for a while and him playing with my hair, he cleared his throat. I looked at him with an eyebrow raised in question. "Now what Sariba?" He asked. "I guess we can be mates now." I said, as I straddled his lap. He wrapped his arms around my waist and we kissed so deeply that it was like we've both been waiting so long for it. This was going to be the best summer ever.
