Project W.O.L.F.

5!x

Ruby hasn't woke up yet, since she had fallen asleep sobbing in my arms, and it's really worrying me. She was currently at the pack hospital, where I sat beside her. I had to make sure the strong woman I first met was okay, even though I don't know why. I had to make sure they didn't forever break her. I watched her closely. From the white mane of hair to the peaceful look of her sleeping face. Then, all of a sudden, her eyes flickered open, revealing that she was now conscious. Except, when her gaze reached the few tubes in her arms, she started to freak and pulled them out instantly. Tears formed in her eyes as she curled in on herself, sobbing against her knees. I slowly started towards her, being careful not to scare her. "Ruby..? Do you recognize me?"

She snapped her head to me with a hurt look that could make a man's heart shatter with a single glance. "Jacob? What happened? Where are we?" She said like she had never been in a hospital before.

"We're in the pack hospital. We got you away from the lab and made sure to prison each and every one on of the scientists that tested things on you..." Her face went to disgust when she heard about the scientists, rubbing her forehead. "We made sure to leave them for you to decide their punishment, if you wanted, and if you had any questions for the men."

"Show me to them." 

Jacob brought me to the pack prison without a second thought, which I was glad for. If he hadn't, I would have lashed out on the poor man. I made sure to look him over when we were walking. His black hair was messier than usual and his eyes were a little darker. He wore the same black tee from when he saved me and a pair of jeans. I seemed to have a throbbing headache, but I'm careful not to mention it. I'm also not going to mention that I'm planning to torture the scientists to death. They would pay a million times over. 

When we walked into the prison, Jacob brought me over to the section with about ten angry men. The main one being in the closest cell. "Okay, mutt, I need answers and I need them right now. What the f*ck did you and your monsters do to me?" To say I was angry would be an understatement. I was furious. The man looked up at me with a wicked smile. 

"Ah! My masterpiece! I knew you would visit soon enough with that question." He said, standing and walking to the bars of the cell. "You see, I've done you a great favor, meaning you must return it!" He said, chuckling to himself. "I've given to the power of a torturing breath and others.. Once (whenever you want to) you breathe out, a toxic air that is like a black mist. A single sniff of it sends someone to a coughing fit." He said as though he was showing off a new toy to his friends. 

"Ruby! Jacob! Get out here!" The alpha's voice shouted from outside. I glared at the scientist before trudging up the stairs. He was waiting with a smile on his face, so I think that means I'm not in trouble... "The King is-"

"King?" I asked, wondering why I have yet to know about him 'till now.

"Yes. The King of werewolf kind. He lives close to the pack, though we made sure that we never came in contact with the man. He's deadlier than you, Ruby." I scoffed at that, but let him continue. I also silently noted that he was the king of werewolves. Not of dangerous lab experiments. "He has announced a Ball coming up. I can bring about ten pack members and have decided to take you, Ms. Joy. Along with you, Jacob." 

"I decline," I said instantly, making the two from. "I- I can't go into the room with thousands of other guests and not be expected to accidentally hurt one of them. The want for blood is too high right now and control is harder than ever."

"You shouldn't let fear control you, Ruby. But you don't have a choice. You won't be there for the ball, to be honest. You will be there to protect the king personally. He had asked for one of my best warriors and that's who I'm giving him. But you will have to wear the proper attire of course. It will be like you are simply his guest." Alpha explained, getting a sigh out of me. I just nodded my head, still not okay with it. "Great. We'll be leaving for it tomorrow."

I growled in frustration when he left. Small dresses were fine, but ball gowns completely disgust me. As does heels.. Maybe I can skip that option. Don't even get me started on makeup. I started making my way to my room, ignoring Jacob and the prisoners in the cells. I had a new job and I had to do something to make up my debt with this pack. I went to my room to pack some belongings. Just because I'll be there for only tomorrow, I needed at least two more outfits just in case. Along with a long shirt and shorts for pajamas. This is gonna be fun (note the sarcasm).
