Monstrous Choices

Chapter 3

Jeremiah stood at the window in the infirmary, watching the girl named Kayla thrash around in her restraints. He smiled a little at the memory of her trying to run away from them. On multiple occasions through out the months it had become a custom to have a search party for the wild beast. The alpha and the luna completely fell in love with her and decided to adopt her as their own.

Her long auburn hair was getting ratty and tangled. No one wanted to touch her because she was pretty much a monster who wanted to tear everyone to shreds. Nobody knew why the Luna took one look at her and fell in love.

The Luna had a way with people, she always smiled that beautiful simple but polite smile and everyone bowed down to her as if she was the queen. To the alpha she was and whatever she wanted she got. Even if it was this insane sixteen year old in a hospital gown. 

"She's such a beautiful creature, isn't she? asked the Luna.

Jeremiah look at the Luna and bowed his head a little and nodded.

" I want to ask for a favor Jeremiah." She said softly. " when Kayla gets better I want you to befriend her. Make her feel more at home, she needs that after what she went through, right?"

Jeremiah nodded his head again and smiled at her and walked away. He dug for his phone in his pocket and checked the time and saw a message from an unknown number. He scrunched his eyebrows in confusion and decided to open it.
 
      Meet me at the clearing. Don't be late.

Judah stood in the clearing kicking at some rock that was too heavy to be moved by a normal human. But as soon as he saw Jeremiah he kicked the rock so hard that it flew all the way to the other end of town. And with his good hearing Jeremiah heard a slight shriek of surprise and pain where the rock landed. And saw a smile cross his brothers face in satisfaction.

"You shouldn't hurt innocent people Judah." Jeremiah chastised.

" You shouldn't order me around little brother" he glowered.

" I'm only a few minutes younger than you." He glared.

Judah ignored him and said " Miah you know how you get when you're around blood you know?"

Jeremiah's face started to heat up. " I didn't mean to do it, i...it just happened." He stammered.

" You should be careful Jeremiah, remember the last time?" He asked.

Jeremiah turned his head away from his brother ashamed for his actions.  It was not easy being a hybrid, especially in a pack full of wolves. Even though Jeremiah was more wolf than vampire if has become a slight problem when it came to blood.

     Judah gave his brother a pat on the back and ran, Jeremiah shifted into his wolf and scampered after him, but Jeremiah lost him and couldn't even catch his scent. He heard a rustling sound in the nearby bushes and he was jumped by a dark figure. They rolled over on top of each other on the wet dirt. Jeremiah tried to nip at his brother but Judah kept blocking his attempts. Judah scratched at Jeremiahs chest. Before they Judah knew it he was flying head first in to the nearest tree. 

        He heard laughter behind him and growled.
" You sir cannot get away with hurting our best fighter can he babe?" Jake asked looking at Damian.

"No he cannot Jake." Damien laughed.

" You guys do know that you can't beat me right? I'm unbeatable." Judah explained.

All of a sudden somebody threw a punch at Judah and he spit out blood and glared at the culprit. Olivia stood there with her hands on her hips looking very smug.

Judah stepped towards her threateningly but he felt a hand on his shoulder and he glared at his brother who was already glaring at him. He turned towards Olivia who stuck her tongue at him.

" someone's in a bad mood." She laughed.

Her blue eyes were light like always, holding mischief and love towards the group of boys in front of her.

   The whole day was used for catching up and goofing around for the group.

    Jeremiah can you come back immediately....alphas orders one of the pack members mind linked him.

     He groaned and shifted back to his wolf form bid his friends adieux and ran back. Only to find every wolf in the pack searching frantically. And the alpha in the middle barking out orders with a crying Luna in his arms.

    He rushed to the alpha and bowed a little.

    The alpha assessed him.  He smelled faintly of dead grass and blood, but saw no signs of feeding. So he shook his head and told Jeremiah briefly of the case.

    Kayla was gone. The nurses opened the door to find her in the corner of the room with a big bite mark on her arm and the bed torn to pieces. And in their shock she ran pass them tearing up everything in her path.

     They spent days looking for her. The Luna kept the news on waiting for a news anchor to declare someone's death, either Kayla's victims or Kayla herself. Jeremiah informed his brother of the grand escape and Judah just shrugged and told him that this is what they get for trying to take in a psychotic bitch.

     everyone was in a sullen mood that week. They were all so worried about the girl. Kayla Edwards the adopted daughter of the alpha.
