Mystery Wolf

Chapter Nineteen

Chapter Nineteen:

 People were chattering and the air was filled with music.

 On any other occasion, I would have been thrilled. But no, today is the unfortunate day that I’m going to have to watch my mate marry someone else…

 As-fucking-If! Today, I’m gonna crash this fucking ceremony with the help of my best friend’s mate. Sounds kick ass right? Yeah, well let’s just hope it all works out.

 I arrived just before Zak did and we both shot a wink at each other, reminding us about our plan. The plan was that as soon as Terran stood up on that altar with my mate on her arm, I was going to stand up and shout her true name as loud as I could. Then her identity would be revealed…

 And so would mine.

 I was dreading revealing my identity to the entire pack…but then again, they’d already be super confused as to why I’m there anyways. They don’t even know that I’m a pack member! I saw Emily standing over by the refreshments table. She looked stunning in her fifties-styled cocktail dress. It was a beautiful crème color and had black lace sleeve and black lace adorning the chest and a small portion of the waist with a black satin belt to top it all off. Zak couldn’t keep his eyes off of her, which was probably not only because of the fact that she looked amazing but also because she was chatting with some guy named Rob. He was kind of the dork of our pack and a complete Omega, it was weird that she was hanging out with him. But i just shrugged it off as her having no one else to talk to besides Betty. 

 She saw me and shot me a sad expression, and then turned her head away. I knew that deep down inside, she wanted to run over and have us gush over each other’s dresses and make up…but she was a stubborn one. She also looked super confused as to why I was at the party as 'Calla'.

 Suddenly everyone was ordered to take their seats as the music set into a soft, barely audible hum. Payton walked out from the shadows and stood at the altar, and then the doors opened and in waltzed Terran. She was wearing a dark red and black mini-dress with black stilettos. I wanted to cough out ‘slut’ but held myself back. She’d be going down in just a minute anyways…

 As she stood up on the altar everyone quieted down and the Alpha began to speak.

 “We’re here today to celebrate the welcoming of a new Alpha and new Luna. This coming together of two people will symbolize the new change in not only the leadership of this pack, but the pack itself. I am proud to say that I am leaving this pack into the very capable hands of my nephew, Payton, and his lovely…mate…Terran.”

 Terran smiled fakely. Her eyes held a malicious undertone that almost made me shudder.

 “So without further introduction…”

 I stood up.

 “…I present to you…”

 Payton and Terran smiled at each other as I stepped into aisle, getting the attention of a few pack members.

 “Your new Alpha and Lu-“

 “Mahalath!” I screamed.

 All eyes turned to me, including Payton’s and the Alpha’s. Terran was fine for a moment, but then she began to twitch. She scowled at me, her eyes brightening to the point where they were almost glowing. Then suddenly, all eyes were on her. She screamed and everyone had to cover their ears from how loud it was. There was a glowing light and suddenly, Terran was no longer in front of us.

 But instead it was a twisted version of her.

 Her brunette her was stringy and matted on her skull and her flesh was no longer tan, but grey and slimy looking. Her eyes were two gaping holes, with small green orbs being the only light inside of them. The body of this…thing was skinny and thin with long, stretched out limbs. And her teeth were all completely sharpened to a point. It was fucking terrifying, and I could practically feel the terror of everyone else in the air.

 “You! You fucking bitch!” the thing hissed in its shrill voice.

 Before I could even react, it pounced on top of me and pinned me to the ground. It slashed my arm open, making me cry out in pain before I managed to kick it off. I stood and while it was distracted, managed to pull the knife I had brought with me from it’s holder on my ankle. Everyone was screaming and fleeing, while Payton was standing there looking dumbstruck. I looked at him with sorrowful eyes and shook my head.

 “Run! Get the fuck out of here!” I screamed, just as the thing threw itself at me once again.

 He didn’t move, it was like he was frozen. Emily ran up to him and tried to get him to move, but he couldn’t. I stabbed the creature in the chest and it wailed, scratching the side of my face in return with it’s sharp claws. I screamed and stabbed it again, managing to crawl out from under it quickly. I really didn’t want to shift!

 It came at me but I ducked and it hit the wall.

 “Calla!” I looked over to see Zak, holding the amulet.

 “You stole it from the witch?!” I screamed, slicing the thing once more as I tried to avoid it biting my head off.

 “No! She gave it to me! Catch!”

 He threw it in the air and I dove for it, catching it quickly. I fastened it around my neck and went at the thing again. Payton was struggling against Emily now, trying to get to me.

 “Let me go! She’s going to get hurt!”

 “She’s stronger then you’d think, dumbass!” Emily yelled.

 “But she’s human!” he protested.

 I rolled my eyes and avoided the thing again, but not before it bit my ankle. I yelped and felt myself getting weaker from running around. It stared at me, stalking me slowly as it walked forward. I was swaying on my feet, about to pass out. I couldn’t go in my human form anymore…I’d have to shift. I looked at Payton one last time mouthing ‘I’m sorry ' to him.

 He gave me a confused look.

 And without another word, I shifted in mid-air and leapt towards the shape-shifter.
