(Ava’s POV)
As I wake up for my stupor I realized a few things.
I could sense that another witch was in the territory or at least she was. I knew it had to be my master Shanti given the power trail that she left.
At least they have support. I thought as I craned my shoulders and neck.
As I sat up I noticed that Shanti had also put up a barrier to prevent me from leaving the house.
Apparently my mate does not trust me to stay put. He was right, I would have bolted the first chance I got.
Then I noticed I could not get a scent from my mate. I let out a frustrated groan.
They went out of their way to make sure I would stay out of the fight.
While I am upset with Elijah I know that in order for the plan to work I have to stay out of sight. I dont like it nor do I agree with it but I have to follow my mate’s command.
I make my way to the kitchen to get a glass of water and check on the hounds. Since the attack on them we have been monitoring them to make sure their are no lingering side effects from the berzerk serum.
I go to check on the hounds when I could have sworn I heard glass shattering.
I leave the kitchen and enter the dining room. The room is almost pit dark but I can still make out a shadow. I puff out my chest and inhale the scent. I recognize this scent all to well. It leave me and my wolf snarling at the fragrance.
“Hello Sissy,” I say flatly. I want her to know that I am not pleased at her attacks. I want her to feel my rage and anger.
“Hello Ava or should I say Luna.” She growls. I turn on the light to see that her shoulder length hair has now been but into a bob. It makes her look more mature but her baby face betrays it all.
“You seem unnerved considering you left the pack and disobeyed your Alpha,” I said.
Sissy was wearing a cut dark blue shirt that was missing the sleeves and the sides of the shirt.
“I did want I had to do. It was not bad enough finding out that you were a Luna to the tribe that you abandoned but then I am told you become the Elijah’s mate.” I knew that she was pissed about the bit of information.
“You lied to me from the beginning,” Sissy screamed.
“I never lied! And not that it is any of your business but I did not know that I was Elijah’s true mate until I finally rejected my former Alpha nad mate,” I said. I knew that I did not own her an explianation but I wanted to stall her long enough to get her guard down.
“You do not deserve to be Elijah’s mate,” Sissy said as she reached for a chair and chunked it across the room. I was able to dodge it but Sissy was fast enough to be right above me.
She slammed her boot into my side. While I tried to roll away from the frontal assault I noticed that attached to her legs were weapons.
Sissy was planning to kill me. As she lifted her foot off the ground to slam into me, I rolled on my back and grabbed her foot.
With a tight gripe and quick maneuvering I managed to push Sissy away from me and against the wall on the opposite side of the room.
I pushed my self off the floor by lifting my legs off the floor and placing my hands flat on the floor. I pushed off using my core and landed to my feet. I saw that Sissy was slumped over in one of the chairs.
Due to the spell that was around the building I was unable to leave but Sissy could come and go as she pleased. She could leave and warn the Syndicate of Elijah’s plan.
Christine I need yo to report your location. Christine I repeat I need you to report your location.
Before Sissy could recover I slammed my fist into her temple and grabbed the radio transmitter from her waist. Without hesitation I dropped it on the ground and smashed it with my boot.
“No one to report to now,” I said as I looked at the rogue she wolf.
“Ava please forgive me,” I heard a whisper. Sissy looked up at me and I saw blood dripping from her mouth.
“You betrayed the pack when you joined the Syndicate,” I said. “ It is not up to me to forgive you, but if you go before Elijah maybe he can give you a lesser sentence.” I said I reached for her.
However my kindness was met wit ha boot in my chest and me kissing the floor. But not before my body hit the dining room table. Sissy had kicked my square in my chest when I let my guard down.
“You stupid bitch,” she laughed as she reached in her pocket. “Do you honestly believe that I want to beg to a half breed like you?”
I began to cough out blood for the blows landed. I tried to reach Tide to see if I could give her control but there was nothing.
“Oh are you trying to contact your wolf. Well I’ll let you in on a little secret; before I came in I put a odorless chemical the nulls the transformation of werewolves,” Sissy said laughing.
She grabbed me by the hair and dragged me from the dining room to the living room. I looked around happy to see that while I was unconscious Elijah and the others took the plans with them.
She threw me to the ground and pulled something out of her pocket.
“Now you are just a weak human against a stronger better wolf,” Sissy said as she flashed a syringe with black liquid at me.
“Is that,” I wanted to finsihed but the attempt to speak was leaving me in agony.
“This is a new compound of the Berzerker fomrula that I helped perfect.” Sissy flicker the tube with her middle finger and grasped it in her hand.
All of a sudden Sissy brough the syringe close to the base of her neck and stabbed the syringe into place. I watched in horror as Sissy injected the liquid into her veins.
“So you want to challenge me for rights to LUNA, but you cannot fight fair. You use a chemical to render me weaken and give yourself a gogo juice to give yourself an edge. You were not meant to be LUNA to anyone’s tribe.” I shouted at her. I coughed at the pain that was radiating through my body.
Without my wolf on the surface I was having a hard time healing properly.
“You fucking idiot.” Sissy shouted. “I am not challenging you to become the next LUNA of the Enforcers. I want my revenge and I want to kill you,”Sissy said. She smiled at me and all of her teeth had transformed into fangs.
While Sissy does not transform right in front of me I can see that her body has begone to morph. When I get to my feet I noticed her arm had lengthen when she struck me and slammed me into the stairwell.
I let out a half scream and cough as she kicks me and I hit the front door.
“You are such a fucking weakly, do you know that,” Sissy growled as she bent down in front of me.
Sissy’s power and attacks had gotten worse as I tried to steady my powers.
Sissy cracks her neck and her shoulders as she laughs at my attempt to get away from her.
I could she why Elijah made her a ranking as a Harbinger even without the Berzerker formula her attacks were a force but so was I.
“Hey bitch,” I yelled as I lifted myself off the door. I could feel blood seeping out of my mouth.
“Nobody told you but I am not an ordinary human,” I said as I challenged a ball of energy into my hands.
“What is that,” Sissy said. I could tell she was shocked.
“If you would have stayed a Harbinger long enough you would have learned that I am a witching too. You dumb bitch.” I said.
I let lose all of the power in the ball and ran towards the deformed were. I pushed the ball of energy into her torso and slammed her into the wall.
Sissy screamed in pain as my power entered her body. I let out all of my anger as I tore through her body with power. I began to heat up her blood and the serum in her body. As I stood away from her I saw her begin to rive and sink to the floor.
She started to claw at her body and scream as she could not take the magic coursing through her being.
I walked over to her avoiding all of the swings she tried to hit me with. Not that it mattered all of the hits were weka and slow.
I took one of the blades from her leg and quickly swiped it across her throat. With that Sissy was no more.
I let out a sigh as I fell to the floor.
My vision faded to black as I passed out from my injuries and overusing my powers.
