The Original Queen

Chapter 7

My head shot up and I pointed to the left of us "that way" I said loudly.

Immediately Nik, Tyler, and Mason were running off in their wolf forms towards the direction I pointed.

Elijah, Kol, Finn, Lydia, and Stiles immediately were using their speed to catch up to them while I clutched Elijah's back tightly.

I heard Hayley yell before Bekah was running with us, holding Hayley in her arms.

I could tell neither woman was happy about this arrangement making me laugh loudly.

Bekah rolled her eyes while Hayley sent me a death glare, I just smiled without any remorse.

It took us a few minutes before we truly caught up with the pack, we could tell they were trying to lose us, most likely assuming us to be with Marcel.

With a quick spell I placed my hand against my thought, amplifying my voice as I yelled "Crescent pack, we are here to speak, not fight! We are not with Marcel Gerard, the so-called king of the quarter. So if you all could chill the fuck out and speak to us that would be great!" I yelled out into the bayou.

Lydia and Bekah were both giving me incredulous looks but I just shrugged "What? They thought we were here to kill them, at least now they know why we're here. It's not like we were being subtle in the first place" I grumbled out as I smack away another blasted mosquito. I wonder if the mosquito are so bad here because they feed on so much supernatural blood? They're vampire mosquitos...so does that mean the mosquito I just killed is gonna come back to life? I hit that thing pretty hard...it's pretty much a smudge...how did I get to this train of thought?... Ally focus! Life or death here bitch!

Apparently, my rant must have worked because the next thing I know our group is being surrounded by wolves.

Nik, Tyler, and Mason were immediately flanking us as we were surrounded, Nik, in particular, was prowling around me and his siblings protectively.

I jumped down from Elijah's back before moving between my mates.

I saw one of the wolves step forward, showing his status as Alpha. Nik immediately moved to challenge him.

Before anything could happen I stepped forward "Nik, not yet" I said sharply causing Nik to stop immediately.

He raised his hackles but otherwise slowly turned back towards me before nudging me back towards his brothers with a huff.

I smiled fondly and rolled my eyes before taking a step back toward Elijah who immediately wrapped a hand around my waist.

I shook my head but turned back towards the wolves "If you will allow my friend here to touch you we could speak face to face, communication isn't going to be easy in your four-legged form" I said casually as I motioned to Lydia.

The wolf, most likely Jackson, eyes us suspiciously before nodding his head and taking a step forward.

Lydia smiled calmly and crouched down slightly "This will hurt, you will be transforming back after all. It's not gonna be pleasant but I'm sure by now you're used to it" she said casually before putting her hand on his back and siphoning the curse from him.

Once Lydia pulled away The wolf started morphing, it took a minute but eventually, Jackson was laying on the ground.

He grunted and looked at his hands in shock before standing up butt-ass naked. Damn the man has no shame...Well, he doesn't have much reason to...

Stiles pulled out a pair of sweats from his bag and chucked them at Jackson as he tried to awkwardly avoid eye contact.

Jackson quickly slipped them on as he took a few steps backward towards his pack. I could tell we had shocked them, the fact we could easily take away the curse that they had been fighting for years.

"What was that? How did you take away the curse?" Jackson asked gruffly.

I smirked "It's not permanent, but it will last till the full moon. Siphoning the curse was one of the first options we looked at but the bitch that put it there was crafty, it renews every full moon. So while the siphon takes it away for this month, it's not a permanent solution" I explained casually, I could tell by his face this wasn't the answer he was hoping for.

He looked at us suspiciously "What do you want?" he asked as his eyes moved from each member of our group.

I sighed softly "Put it simply? At best your allegiance, at worst, a truce" I said, trying to sound reassuring.

He scowled but still looked like he was considering "What kind of Truce? What could you possibly offer us? Or better yet, who the hell are you?" Jackson asked, seemingly at the end of his tether.

Elijah looked at him evenly "We are the Original coven, there is much we can do for each other" he answered simply.

I smiled at my mate before turning back to Jackson "We're going to take this city, Marcel has outlived his usefulness. His days as king of the quarter are numbered. That is a certainty. We would like to offer you all a place amongst our pack, as hybrids" I said as I glanced at the wolves surrounding us.

I could see most of them balked at the very idea making me shake my head lightly, disappointed.

Jackson immediately took a threatening step forward "We will never become vampires! If that's what you want you can just leave!" he said angrily.

I rolled my eyes "It's just an offer, we'll settle for a truce, your people don't attack ours and in exchange, we try and find a solution to your curse. Though, becoming a hybrid would give you all complete control of your wolf form. The offer is on the table, we do not force this on anyone, we simply offer you all the choice. Trying to find a solution isn't a guarantee, I don't make promises I can't keep. I can promise to try and find a solution but I can not guarantee finding one" I explained calmly.

"As a show of good faith we brought alonge a mutual acquaintance of ours" I said as I looked back towards Hayley who seemed to be trying to disappear behind Lydia.
