All is Fair in Love and War (Clexa Au)

The Capture

The girl was unconscious. Needless to say, this was a mild concern to Clarke. She made her way over to the group and couldn't help but stare at the face of the girl. She was absolutely gorgeous. But she had also clearly not come her willingly. She had several bite wounds on her limbs and scratches littering her face. Clarke was furious.

Bellamy had gone against Clarke's wishes knowingly. He hadn't even discussed with Clarke before attacking and capturing a Trikru girl. Clarke looked over the girl and mentally corrected herself: Trikru woman.

"Bellamy," she hissed at him, not even attempting to hide her rage. He was back in his human form and covered up. He turned to look at the blonde. His smirk faded slightly before regaining its cockiness.

"Don't be some shocked. I'm quite good at stealth attacking." Bellamy walked closer to Clarke.

"In the work tent." Clarke snapped at him. "Now!"

Bellamy's smile faltered again as he followed the furious blonde.

They entered the tent and the flap dropped behind them. Clarke turned to face him, her face was bright pink with rage. Her blue eyes were lit with fury.

"Do you think this is funny?"

"No. It's war Clarke. We now have a prisoner of war that we can interrogate. That's how war works, Princess."

Clarke's blood was boiling. Her face grew brighter and she couldn't help but yell. "This isn't how war works when you are trying to negotiate peace! You fucking imbecile. They have power over us in numbers, strength, and knowledge of the land. Your stupidity is giving all of us the death sentence." She lowered her voice, but it's tone was just as deadly as before. "Next time you have a bright idea, be sure to check with me first. We are the alpha pair for a reason."

And with that Clarke stomped out of the tent. She couldn't release the girl now without posing a great threat to her people, but just her being here was also a threat. She was trapped in this horrible situation. Either way, she had to do something with the Trikru wolf now. She began barking orders for the girl to be taken to the work tent. She had the girl's ankles tied together and her hands tied behind her back. Clarke wrapped her unconscious form with a robe and began cleaning her wounds. While wolves did heal fast, they were still vulnerable to infections.

The girl awoke with a start while Clarke bent over to clean the blood from her face. Clarke backed away instinctively and saw the woman try to lash out at her only to be stopped by her restraints. Her look of shock was soon replaced by a look of pure hatred.

"I see she's awake," Bellamy spoke. Clarke hadn't noticed his arrival, but she had been busy.

"Yeah. Congratulations. If she didn't hate us before, she definitely hates us now."

"I'm doing what's best for our people," Bellamy shot back.

"Oh yeah. Capturing someone from a more powerful pack is really good for our people. Isn't it? Destroying the little chance we had at negotiating peace with these people is best for our pack. Is that what you're saying?"

"We can't do this now in front of her."

Clarke knew he was right. She sighed and turned back to the woman. She was still wearing the same cold and hard expression. Her beautiful green eyes were laced with fire.

Clarke walked toward the woman with the wet rag in hand. "Do you mind if I finish wiping away the blood? I thought you might appreciate it."

The woman showed no sign of understanding. Her expression was still one of pure hatred. Clarke hesitated before taking another step forward. The woman quickly tried to scoot away from her before falling backwards onto her bound hands.
