Chapter Fifteen

15

"Mara stop, I repeat"

The woman voice thundered again through out the room, the woman who had commanded her had a Blondie hair, just like Mara, she looked beautiful, but with blue eyes, as she stepped into the room, the young man, whom Sharriah thought could be the pack's doctor, walked towards the bed, where her master was laid.

"But mother, she disobeyed the rules, you possibly can't side with a slave, or would you, she risked the life of my brother, the king to protect her life, she is a slave, and she had to be killed for performing such acts."

The Blondie girl said, looking at the slave with distaste, she wished to strangle her to death already.

"Mara, I know, she needs to be punished for her behavior, but remember! She is your brother's slave, the King's pet, he wouldn't like any of his possessions to be used any how, by anyone, remember, he doesn't play with his possession, pray to the moon goddess, what so ever mark you had inflicted on her be gone, before the alpha awakens."

The woman said, even though it was night, Sharriah could still see the beauty in her face, she had a striking resemblance to the twins, but no resemblance what so over with her Master.

"But mother, who will have to discipline her, a slave doesn't need to be treated with care, neither, does she need to be given an exclusive treatment."

Mara said, her voice soundd strong, she was still insisting to punish the slave, if possible, kill her, her distaste for slaves runs deep in the family blood.

"You heard mother Mara, you don't want to be punished by the alpha for misbehaving, do you?"

Clara said, Sharriah watched, but not making it noticeable, if not; the Blondie girl won't think twice before slashing her head off, the lady Clara, seems to be the most coolest among the three siblings which she had come to know for a short time, but yet, she remembered the words of a guard, when she had been leaving in the establishment.

"Do not trust the words of a sheep among the wolves, instead, be weary of them, they could be the ones who kills you in a plater of sand."

She thought, remembering the words.

"Now Clara and Mara, let's focus on your brother, shall we, then we will discuss about the slave later on."

The mother to the two ladies said, and at her words, the twins became quiet.

"What is wrong with him Bruce, what do you think had been injected inside his organs, will he be fine"

The woman said, walking close to the bed, where her Master lay, as she bent down, looking at the blackish substance, which seem to be living.

"What is this blackish thing in his body."

The woman asked again, quite confused on what must have happened to the alpha.

"The alpha king had been injected with some dark evil magic, which belongs to the first pure blooded black witch, whoever must have injected this on the alpha, must have been very powerful, because, this is a first witch's poison, it is gotten from slits of a snake, and can only be cured by a first or second pure blooded witch, if this poison is not removed from his body in two days. Then the king will remain in an everlasting sleep."

At the pack doctor's words, the room became quiet. The three women stared at themselves, Finding a second pure blooded witch was quite hard. Also knowing the fact that the witches are a sworn enemy to them the werewolves.

Sharriah looked down, too ashamed to stare into the eyes of the royalties, if only she had not ran away, then maybe, her Master won't be in this condition.

"But what can you give him, to prevent the poison from spreading further doctor Bruce, if the council members or any of our enemies hear that the alpha is dead, they will come, attacking us, you know we can fight them off, but when they come in two's, attacking us, they can bring our down fall."

The woman, whom Sharriah had understood was not just the mother of her Master and the mother of the two ladies, even though there was no resemblance between the woman and her Master, but yet, she won't have to conclude, till she was told; but how ever, she knew the woman was the queen, she is the queen mother, and she was at the mercy of the queen too.

"I have some medicines for him, but it will only stop the poison from going further for some time, but it won't stop the poison from spreading further, this is a very powerful poison."

The pack doctor said, bowing down.

"Please send someone to Siranus, I heard black witches are beginning to disguise themselves as humans in order to stay in that village."

The pack doctor said, bowing down once more to the queen and the two ladies, before leaving the room, but as he left, he turned, looking at Sharriah, who bowed down immediately, when she saw him staring at her, the pack doctor waved his head at her, before leaving the room.

"Now what are we to do, should we inform the council about this, remember, the next full moon meeting would be held in the next three days time, there will be whispers and tongue wagging if the alpha is not in sit for the meeting."

Mara cried out, her voice showed how she disliked the whole situation, she still could not help but blame the worthless slave, whom she believed, must have been the reasons for all of this evil lucks.

"That is why we have the beta and the gamma to do the works, if the king is not so available."

The queen mother said, now turning her attention towards the slave who stood not quite far from her, as the pure blooded werewolf strode towards the slave, she wondered, who the hell she was, there was something about the slave she couldn't place her fingers on, as she came closer, she watched the slave bulk in fear, she gave a joyful smile, as a high werewolf, she loves it when a lower creature shakes in fear because of her, that was why she was a pure blooded werewolf, the first generation werewolf.

"What are you?"

The woman in front of Sharriah said, perceiving her scent, and also trying to know why the smell of wolf in the slave seems to appear dull and mist, some how she could perceive the slave's scent, as if it was sprayed in air and another time, the scent seems to diasapper as quick as it came.

Sharriah did not know if that was a question or a statement, but how ever she answered,

"I am a werewolf."

She said, hoping the woman believes her l.

"A werewolf, so why can't I smell your wolf scent, it comes and disappear as soon it came, why?"

The woman asked, and at her words, Sharriah became confused, she had never been told this by anyone before, but then, she thought she do know why her wolf scent had suddenly disappeared, because her wolf had gone missing.

"My wolf have been gone, missing for quite some time now, I have a wolf, but it never seems to be here my lady"

Sharriah said, bowing down her head, not daring to look up.

"Hahaha, she is a wolf less slave...."

Mara spoke as she laughed hilariously, her voice sounded exactly like a witch, Sharriah thought, but Clara and the first generation pure blooded werewolf who stood before Sharriah, never made a signal to stop the powerful lady werewolf to stop her own personal humor.

"Mother, she do not have to stay in the castle then, she should probably be killed or thrown or sold out to another Master, a wolf less wolf can't stay with us, she do affect others in the palace, making them wolf less too."

The small devil said, and at her words, Sharriah bit her lips in pain, preventing her from into fits of sobs.

"Those are superstition. Which had never been proven, so stop making useless facts."

The queen mother said, now again turning to stare at Sharriah.

"What made you think you are a werewolf even knowing you never had a wolf within you."

The queen mother asked Sharriah,

"Because I......"

Sharriah said, stopping at her words, not knowing if she should tell them that she kept hearing the word "mate" any time she was close to the alpha king, and she did not know what that means, but another voice talked to her, the voice that she had unconsciously wanted to hear, nudged her, telling her to keep mute about that, and she kept mute about that.

"I can hear from a far distance and can run quite far in a short time my queen."

Sharriah said, facing the ground, at her words, the queen mother looked at the slave in front of her, then walked back to the bed, where the alpha was laid, checking his temperature.

"Should we call Cara, the daughter of the Hood pack, she do be displeased if she was not informed about the King's condition."

Clara said, for the first time.

"But it might spread news around, that the alpha is sick."

Mara said, she did not like the daughter of the alpha of the Hood pack for once, she was only here beside her brother, because of power and wealth and nothing much.

"Inform her about the king, but do not go into details about his condition, I will inform Cara about that when she arrives, the king needs her, since he had not find a mate for himself."

The queen mother said, now turning to look at Mara.

"And Mara, I know you are concerned about the pack, but if the pack had any attack from the enemies, we can order the other packs for help, that's why your brother is the alpha king."

The queen mother said, but Sharriah did not like the idea of calling who so ever that was Mara, to take care of the king, she felt bitterness, and another feeling in her heart, which she couldn't place her finger what it was, what she was feeling.

"When the beta returns with the other troops, do inform me, we have to keep him updated, together with the gamma, he will find a way to go get the cure for the King's sickness."

The queen said, now standing up,

"What about the slave, will she remain here with my brother?"

Mara said, looking at Sharriah with disgust.

"Guards!"

The queen mother screamed, and three men, whom Sharriah never saw at the beginning came, entering the room and bowing down to the women.

"Take her to the servant quarters, place her under the Care of Fiona, the head maid, I was mind linked, she had returned."

The woman said, staring at Sharriah, Sharriah couldn't help but widen her eyes at the name pronounced, slightly looking up at the queen mother, she saw her smile, as if she knew what Sharriah her self had done, the crime she committed, as the guards got hold of her, dragging her out of the room, for the first time in a long while, she saw Clara, gave her a sincere look of pity, she needed the pity, to sustain, because she had a long night ahead of her.
