THE FEMALE ALPHA

Chapter Five

I listen nerversly to the sound of my own steps as they traverse the floor of the room.
I breath in the smell of medicine, concosion and herbs.
The room is engulfed in darkness.
I can easily catch the sound of people chanting from afar.

"We've been waiting for you Alpha."
Flora's voice snaps me back to reality.
I can see a small bed in the middle of the room.

Above the bed is what looks like a circle of blue light. There are red and purple stars which lay side by side. It looks just like a gigantic art exhibition.

As the chants from Florida and Jane grew more intense, the circle appeared to be moving around then it finally moved lower to the length of the bed. Looking at it, it's as if the mysterious blue sky is part of the bed.

"Alpha," Flora says calmly. "You'll be required to lay on the bed. This," she points to some bottles at the table which is adjacent to the bed. The bottles have purple and red liquids in them.

"Are herbs contain the magic that is specifically blessed for this occasion. Once you are injected with this herbs," She points to the purple liquid. " you will not feel your wolf in you neither will you be able to communicate with it, but that doesn't mean you lost it. Your wolf goes incognito mode.
The red herbs are meant to act with the smell of your wolf. Your scent will then be consealed from everyone. Both humans and wolfs."

She then shifts uncomfortably then gives me a worried face.
I look at her quizzically and ask. "Is there a problem Flora?"

She nods her face then says, "Alpha I'm afraid if the stars in the circle do not blend together, then it means the moon goddess does not approve of it and you might end up losing your wolf. By blending together, I mean the red stars and purple starts must come together and form a straight line."

"Flora, look at me." I can see the fear written all over her face. Her eyes are glued to the floor or perhaps she is counting the tiles. I raise my hand gently and lift up her chin so that she looks at me.

"It will be a success. I know I am ready for this. Don't be afraid for me Flora, I'll take whatever comes my way." I say with alot of determination.

However, deep down I can feel my wolf whimpering. Losing my wolf Jewel is the last thing I want to do in my whole life.

"Should we do this Jewel?" I ask her softly.

"Yeah, it's the right thing to do. We are strong enough to go through this successfully." She assures me.

I contemplate on whether to move on or stand there. I remember my brother Dante. I think about all the awful things they could be doing to him right now. He is the only family I have. He's the one I have always shared my life with after the death of our parents. Our mother did not survive long enough because she had lost her mate.

This memories are like a spear to my heart. I can feel the tears well up in my eyes. The idea of Dante being tortured ignites a fire inside me. I feel more determined than ever. I need to go through the process. Whatever outcome there is, I'm ready for it.

"I'm.Ready.For.This." I tell Flora confidently. I move forward and as soon as my body falls on the bed, it feels as if I'm drowning in water. Before I completely zone off, I hear the door open and Xavier rushes in.

I can hear the chants from Florida and Jane Still going on. I hear Xavier call out my name but I'm too weak to say a word. My whole body is heating up. I rejuvenate and slowly open up my eyes. I look to the stars hovering above me. I see Florida come close to me. She is carrying two bottles in her hand, I also see something else in the other hand but I can't figure it out well.

She gets too close to me but suddenly,
I feel the pain, so excruciating and unendurable. I feel like I'm floating in nothingness. I feel nothing but void, and helpless. Every cell in my body can feel the intensity of the pain. I want to yell and scream but no voice is coming out.

Sensations chase each other down my spine and they are those of pain.
I hear a chuckle, a deep booming chuckle just enough to raise goosebumps along my neck. I slowly realise that it's Xavier who's anxiously saying something to Flora.
I feel empty inside, like somebody has just suck the soul of my wolf.

Then I feel it, the friction that causes delicious warmth and agonizing sensations in me. I can't tell if it's the sensations of pain or pleasure but this feeling, oh Jesus feeling.
Suddenly, I see a blinding red flash of light and everything goes silent.

Beep

Beep

I open my eyes and scan the place. I'm lying in bed but it does not feel like my bed. I hear the sound of a machine beeping. I want this beeping sound to stop because it's getting on my nerves.

My plan is to get up and break this thing where the noise is coming from,
but everything hurts. Everything inside me screams for me to stop when I try to get up. I look outside the window and there is still a grey hue outside. It's still pitch black inside the room.

"Demi, you're up." A familiar voice next to me says. I feel a touch on my hand which soon turns into a slight squeeze.
I look up to make sure I'm not dreaming or something. I blink a few times to adjust to the light that is in the room and a handsome Xavier comes into view. His eyes are bloodshot red and heavy with bags.
I give him a smile to reassure him that I'm fine.

"Eee Xavier, how long have I been off for." I inquire.

"Two days. You were asleep for two days. I'm happy that you are finally awake. We've been so worried about you." I can see his eyes glistening.

"I'll go call the doctor.," He says before going out.

Memories of my brother suddenly rush in my mind like dry grass heating up.
my brother Dante is out there and here I am. Been Sleeping for two fuckin days!

I get up, throw away the quilt, though still painful, I pull away the needles but before I walk out, a smiling Flora walks into the room.

She hugs me then says. "I'm glad Alpha, it was a success." I jump excitedly as I run to my room for a warm shower before packing my stuff for the mission ahead.

Midway to my room, I'm met by my three officials who are equally happy to see me. Before I walk into my room, a tall cute guy with a dirty blonde hair walks to me. His features resemble closely those of Tim but I can tell he is human.

"Jade, I'm Jade, Alpha. Iv been patiently waiting for you and I'm glad we can now begin our little task."

"Thanks Jade, I'm looking forward to seeing a more cooperative partnership with you."

With that, I run into my room to do the necessary.
