The Mad Mistress

Chapter 3

Madness, crazy, insane, bonkers. Just different names for nearly the same thing. Nearly. Always just a slight difference, isn't there.

Zachary's POV

I woke up to bright lights and the sharp stench of bleach and anesthetics. I blinked a few times, to clear my head. I sat up quickly once I remembered what had happened in the clearing. I grabbed my head and hissed at the sudden pain. I gently touched the side and winced as I took note of the bandage on the side.

I heard a slight cough and turned my gaze towards the door. I sighed, realizing it was just the pack doctor, Rose. How ironic, I thought, to have a pack doctor named Rose in the freaking Bloody Roses pack. I ignored her and proceeded to rip the iv needle out of my arm. She cleared her throat and waited until I had turned towards her.

She gently pushed me back down onto the hospital bed and told me to turn my head so she could take a look at the wound. I rolled my eyes, but complied. She ripped the bandage off, causing me to yelp. "Sorry, alpha." she said quickly, but I took notice of the way she snapped her lips shut, trying not to laugh.

I growled slightly at her reaction and saw her immediately tense. Good, I thought smugly, Now hurry so I can go on with my freakin' job. "I had to sedate you when Beta Adam brought you in. You were thrashing about and muttering something about The Mad Mistress." A flash of fear shot through her eyes as she said Her name. "I attached the needle that you so delicately ripped out of your arm. The drip was filled with some morphine to help with the pain. I had to have the beta hold you down while I removed the glass bits from your head."

"Why do I have a giant bandage on the side of my head?" I stupidly asked, my mind still up in the clouds from the morphine. She sighed and took a deep breath as if to collect herself. "There were several large pieces that required stitches when I removed them." I nodded and pushed myself up. I stood up and wobbled slightly, getting the feeling back in my legs. I felt a hand on my arm and turned to look back Rose. She handed me a glass of water and some Tylenol. I nodded my head and quickly took the medicine, before walking out of the hospital.

I pushed the doors of the hospital open. Nodding at those who bowed and said "Alpha", I tried to quickly make my way back to the pack house and up to my office. I shoved the door open and stormed over to my desk. Sitting down, I mind-linked Adam and told him to get his ass in my office. I leaned back, and glared at the chair in front of me. It was the chair that the crazy girl had appeared in.

I remember the way her eyes seemed to dance with cruel amusement everytime she looked at my face. The way they glowed and the way her lips always quirked up at the corner before she spoke. I shivered at the memory of her body against mine when she kissed my cheek. I snapped out of my stupor, when I realized I was slowly stroking the place where her lips had touched my cheek.

I shook my head sharply and slapped my face a few times. "C'mon. She is the enemy and not to be trusted. Not to mention the fact that she is insane and a cold-hearted killer. I don't have time to think about this." I muttered under my breathe. I stood up and strode over to that wretched chair. I grabbed the arms and lifted my foot up, smashing it through the seat. The seat snapped in half at the sudden pressure and the arms of the chair splintered in my grasp.

I quickly took a step back to compose myself when I heard a knock on the door. I walked back to my seat behind my desk and flopped down. "Come in, Adam. I need you to find information about someone." He quickly walked in and shut the door behind him. His eyes widened at the scene before him and he quickly stood at attention in front of my desk. I told him to sit down and he did so gratefully, sitting and leaning forward, his elbows resting on his knees.

His smirked slightly before saying, "Rough day?" while tilting his head towards the smashed chair. I snarled and snap, "Pay attention." He immediately sat straighter, when he realized right now he needed to act like the Beta. Not my friend.

His eyes studied my face carefully as he replied. "Yes, Alpha. What or who do you need me to look up for you?" He leaned forward slightly at the same time I leaned back. "I need you to find out everything you can about The Mad Mistress." I watched as his face paled. "I am sure you know about what happened in the clearing just near the edge of our territory." He simply nodded and said "I already had the bodies taken care of. I will find out everything and report back to you as fast as possible, Alpha." He bared his neck at me and stood, turning to walk out.

"Adam." I called out to his retreating form. He turned and glanced back at me. "Yes, Alpha?" "Take care of that damn chair." He nodded and told me he would send someone in to take care of it.

I sighed and walked out of my office. I needed to take a shower to wash the stink of the hospital off me. I hurried through the long hallways and up the stairs, successfully avoiding anyone else. I reached my room, and threw the door open. I stomped in and locked the door behind me.

I ripped my shirt off, and sighed. I took a deep breath and stiffened when I smelled a familiar scent. The scent of fresh blood, chocolate, and chai tea. I whirled around and growled when I took notice of the girl on my bed. I growled and took a step forward. I tried to summon as much power as could and stalked towards her. I blinked and then she was gone. I relaxed a bit and sat down heavily on my bed.

I leaned back carefully and closed my eyes. The smell hit my nose again and I opened my eyes. I was greeted by the sight of two glowing eyes staring back. I shot up and reached a hand out the grab her by the neck. My hand shot through her and she disappeared like smoke.

I slapped my face a few times when I realized she was never there. I just stood there for a few minutes, quietly not making a sound. I started to move away from the spot when I felt a pair of arms wrap around my shoulders. I tensed up and stopped moving. I breathed in her scent and held my breath as I felt her head resting on my shoulder. She nibbled on my ear, causing a little moan to slip out of my mouth.

She giggled and kissed the sweet spot behind my ear. She started to fade away, but not before she whispered a word. One word that had me losing all the color in my face. One word that made me grab a vase on my dresser and chuck it at the space she seemed to occupy just a few seconds ago. One word that had me kneeling on the ground, gripping my head and rocking myself back and forth. One word that echoed throughout the room as loud as the crash of the vase against the wall.

One word. MAD.
