Sapphire’s POV

 

I woke up with the sunlight beaming at my face. I slowly opened my eyes and adjusted to the light. When I finally composed myself, I looked around and found myself in an empty room with only one window. Where am I?

 

I slowly got up on my feet but somehow, my body is too weak and heavy which caused me to fall back down. My face cringed at the pain I felt on my shoulders

 

 

and legs. Damn, I feel so helpless. Due to over-fatigue and numbness of my body, I decided to just sit on the floor waiting for a Prince to kiss me and then the curse will finally lift up but then I turned out to be an ogre named Fiona. On the serious side, I just decided to sit back and tried to remember everything that happened yesterday.

 

Oh my, gosh! Adrian!

 

I started to panic when I remembered what happened yesterday. He was shot with an arrow and I just left him there! Dammit! My eyes started to pool in tears just thinking about him. I tried mind linking him several times but there was no response at all! And with that, my tears started to fall, slowly. I don’t want to assume that he’s already gone. I can still feel him, I can still feel his love. And he promised me he’ll come back for me. He can’t just die.

 

Oh, you’re already awake ” someone suddenly came in which disturbed me with my thoughts. I looked at her and anger started to build up inside me. I still can’t believe she betrayed her own pack. I thought she was our friend but turns out, she just befriended all of us. Damnation.

 

Eat up, ” Alice said and placed a tray of food in front of me but I didn’t even take a glance at it, instead I was busy glaring at her. She sighed and sat down beside me but I moved away from her not bothering the pain in my body. I used to trust her but now, I can’t even look at her without feeling hatred. I was deceived by someone whom I call a ‘friend’.

 

Why are you doing this? Why did you betray your own pack? ” I asked in confusion. I don’t get her at all. I know how much she loves Thirst Blood pack and it really puzzles me why she did this not only to the pack but also to me.

 

Sapphire, am really sorry for what happened to you and am sorry I played a part in it. I never intended to hurt you.”

 

****Flash back****

 

Alice’s POV

 

After me and Jax had dinner, we decided to stroll around to have some quality time.

 

He brought me to a cliff where we can see the whole city. It was absolutely beautiful, and it became more mesmerizing since it was night time and you can actually see the city lights.

 

 

we hadn’t used up to 30 minutes on the cliff when we heard ruffling sounds from the trees, we didn’t have enough time to process the situation as more than ten werewolves ambushed us.

 

They immediately shot something at Jax and he fell to the ground

 

“Jax” I screamed his name as I knelt beside him, he seems to be in serious pain, “what did you do to him you bastards!” I yelled at the wolves who had just ambushed us. They all stared at me as though am some robot whose sound system has been placed on mute.

 

“W-wo-wolfsbane” I heard Jax whisper silently but loud enough for me to hear. And then he passed out. My eyes lighten up in shock, I placed my ears close to his chest, he was still breathing, but it was faint. If he doesn’t get the antidote for the wolfsbane in the next 30 minutes he’s gonna die.

 

“Where is the antidote you fxcktards!” I screamed on top of my lungs as I made to attack them, I don’t care if am outnumbered, I just got my mate and am not losing him.

 

One came launching at me with his fist, ‘bad choice’ I held his fist just inches to my face then flipped him over the cliff, I heard him scream down the axis till his voice became faint. The others looked shocked, I smiled at myself, they must have expected this to be an easy catch, too bad I won’t make it easy for them.

 

They all attacked me in numbers, they had knives in their belts but they ain’t making use of it. From their tactics I observed

 

they ain’t fighting to kill me, they must intend to capture me, so I decide to use that to my advantage, I pulled the knife from one and stuck in the belly of another. The guy I stabbed held my hand still in his stomach, and that allowed the other to hit me and got me in a defenseless position.

 

“Wow! Wow!! Wow!!!” A tall man suddenly came out from the woods, clapping his hands. From his scent and aura I knew he’s an Alpha.

 

“My most sincerest apologies guys, I forget to warn you she’s a fighter, where the last one of you?” He asked. They all pointed to the cliff I had thrown my first victim earlier.

 

“Ouch!” He exclaimed Covering his mouth in a jestful manner.

 

Then he turned to me.

 

“Hello Alice”

 

Fûck! The bàstård knows my name

 

“What do you want from me and my mate? ” I spat at him.

 

“Uhm, actually I want nothing from your mate, I only need your help, and let’s

 

say your mate is just a collateral damage, or should I say Insurance” He said with a

 

wide grin plastered on his face.

 

This man is disgusting. I thought.

 

“What do you want? ” I questioned.

 

He reached for something in his pocket and there, I saw him with a picture in his hand.

 

Do you recognize this girl? ” he asked as he showed to me the picture he was holding. It was a little girl playing with a beautiful woman in the park. I looked at the girl closely before I realized who it was. I gasped in shock.

 

Yes, dear. This little girl is Sapphire or should I say Harieth—- my daughter ” he said,

 

“What do you mean?” I questioned.

 

“My Name Is Lawrence, Alpha of Midnight pack, and Your friend, Sapphire is my daughter.” He said, giving me a raised eyebrow.

 

Wow, so Skyler and Sapphire are not real siblings? And if Alpha Lawrence is Sapphire’s biological father then that means, Saph is the heir of their pack which makes her an Alpha?!

 

What are you trying to say to me? Why do you need my help?” I asked him. I don’t get his point. Why is he telling me all of this?

 

That’s because you’re the only person who’s close to Sapphire. As much as possible I want my daughter to be with me. I want to reconcile with her.

 

I need you to get me the map to your pack’s territory. Cause am aware Adrian won’t release my daughter. Am breaking her out, and you’re helping me” he said with a tone of finality in his voice.

 

I can’t do that. That’s impossible! I won’t betray my pack just to help you! what will you even do if I don’t? ” I asked, challenging him. I saw him smirk which gave me goosebumps.

 

“Your mate has 15 more minutes to live, he said pointing at a breathless Jax on the floor and staring at his wrist watch. Tears quickly welled up in my eyes and I allow them fall freely. He dipped his hand into his pocket and brought out two bottles.Kindly share out stories from generalloaded.com using the floating social media icon buttons on the bottom of the screen

If you agree to help me, see this bottle?” He said pointing to the bottle with blue contents.

 

 

“It will prevent the poison from flowing into his heart for the next 72 hours. Now after you’ve done all that I ask of you. I will hand you the real antidote that will kill off the poison.” He said with a tone of sincerity which made me believe him.

 

Now am torn between two paths, Betray my pack and save my mate? Or

 

Stay loyal to my pack and let my mate die.

 

I think you already know the path I followed.

Sapphire’s POV

 

I didn’t know my mouth has been opened the whole time until she finished her story. Then I felt pity for her, to be Frank I think she had no choice, I mean even me I would have done the same. Who wouldn’t?

 

Though I was in pain, I drew close to her and hugged her. She was surprised at my actions but she hugged me back nevertheless.

 

Though am yet to digest everything she told me, I still tried to remain calm, I mean it’s not everyday that you find out your father is not your father. “Sapphire” She whispered my name as we pulled from the hug.

 

“There’s a big problem” She said with tears in her eyes as she looked at me with pit

 

y. This made really confused, of cause am aware we’re in trouble but with the way she’s staring at me I couldn’t help but think that there are more disastrous details am yet to find out.

 

“What other problem? ” I asked, utterly confused.

 

“Alpha Lawrence does not want you back just for reconciliation purposes, he intends to use you for the immortality ritual.” She said as she broke into sobs and started crying.

 

“Alice please stop crying, explain to me what’s the immortality ritual? ” I pleaded. “Every 100 years a werewolf is born with the comet mark. They are called the comet bearer, They have special abilities like increased speed, strength, ability to heal after injury, and so on, and only the comet bearer’s blood can be used to perform the immortality ritual. Legend has it that anyone who performs the

 

 

immortality ritual will live till eternity, possessing the power to resurrect after death again and again.” She narrated.

 

“So how does all this concern me? ” I asked becoming more confused.

 

“Sapphire you’re the comet bearer” She announced.

 

I suddenly burst into laughter. She looked at me like am someone who had just lost her sanity.

 

“Seriously, let me remind you, in case you forgot, when you were explaining the other time, you said the comet bearer has special abilities like increased strength and etc. I have none of that. And by the way, I have no comet mark on me” I screamed at her face.

 

“The mark only appear on the bearer in his/her first month (as a baby) it goes away on the second month of birth then reappear on the day of the bearer’s 21st birthday. And that is when the abilities I have mentioned earlier start to surface. The moon goddess has made it like this to protect the bearer from people like your father when she’s defenseless.” She explained.

 

My jaw suddenly dropped, something in me told me she’s saying the truth. And it was then it hit me. They lied. Skyler and Adrian lied! They told me someone’s after them when in fact, it’s me someone’s after. I can’t help but to gasp in shock. Tears started to form in my eyes again and the next thing I knew, I was already crying with my knees close to my chest.

 

I can’t believe they did all of this just to protect me. And now, all my loved ones are in danger because of me! How can I be so foolish?! I should’ve known they lied just to keep me safe! I feel so guilty and bad! What if something bad happens to them?! I’d never forgive myself if that happens.

 

I tried mind linking Sky but I just got a blank response. No one’s answering my links even Kayla! Oh my gosh! Tell me this is all just a dream. This is all just a horrible nightmare!

 

“I have a plan” Alice spoke up, snapping me back to reality.

 

“When I leave this place I am going to Alpha Lawrence to collect the antidote for the Wolfsbane in Jax’s system. After giving It to Jax, I’ll sneak out to our pack and find Adrian.Kindly share out stories from generalloaded.com using the floating social media icon buttons on the bottom of the screen

 

” You can’t Alice, Adrian has been captured” I informed.

 

“I know, but don’t worry, I know where to find him. Jax promised to help out too. I promise I will make it up to you.” She said with sincerity clearly evident in her voice. And with that I pulled her close and hugged her tightly.

Skyler’s POV

 

Didn’t I tell you to fvcking stay away from her? ” I asked in gritted teeth as I glared at him. I tried to escape from these chains that was locked on my ankle but it was made out of wolf’s bane so it was useless and it hurts like fvck. He just looked at me and directly averted his gaze and gave me an uninterested look.

 

I told you already, no one’s going to stop me ” He answered.

 

“I will Lawrence, and am going to kill you, for trying to hurt Sapphire and for the death of my parents.” I fumed. He just scoffed as if my words meant nothing. He went out of my cell and told the guard at the cell gate.

 

“Remind me to kill him tomorrow” And with that he slammed the gate close and left.

 

” Damn it! ” I yelled and punched the wall beside me. I need to get

 

out of here as soon as possible. I mind linked almost all pack members and I got no response at all. I sniff the air and I smelled somewhat like a chemical, I think it’s preventing us from mind linking or even smell other wolves. Damn! I need to think, fast!

 

I tried my best and I was practically having tantrums right now. I was getting wild and I know sooner or later, my wolf’s going to take control over me. At this point, there’s only one person running through my head.

 

” Sapphire… ” “Sapphire”

 

I was unable to mindlink her or Adrian. The last time I saw her she left with Adrian.

 

Bang! I looked at the cell gate to see Adrian Snapping the neck of the guard at my cell gate. He sent a hard punch to the gate and it flew open. “How did you get past the guards? where’s Sapphire?”

 

Of cause he knew I don’t care about how he got passed the guards so he answered my last question as he helped unlock the chains I was bound with.

 

“I was apprehended while trying to flee with her, I told her to run but…”

 

“You guys need to hurry up, we don’t have much time” I soon heard another voice from behind Adrian.

 

“Alice, how did you get here?” I asked.

 

 

“Skyler, let’s leave all question and answers for later and let’s find a way to rescue sapphire.

 

I know where she is” Alice said as she led the way.
