Chapter 19


    Jaxon’s POV


    I’m just sitting in my seat, resting, I’m hurting from my battle with Alora. Her wolf Xena kicked my wolf


    Bruno’s ass. Bruno whines in my head, I chuckle. “What are you whining for?” I ask him. “I can’t believe


    I lost to a female.” he whines. I chuckle “We lost to the Alpha of all Alpha Females, Bruno, she’s


    special, I think I would be honored to serve as her Beta.” he’s silent for a moment. “The Alpha of all


    Alpha females, Beta to that title would be an honor.” he finally said. I settle back, happy and at peace.


    Bruno settles down now, content now with the results of the battle. My phone dings with a notification. I


    look and its an urgent e-mail through ‘the student message board. I open


    the e-mail, its from the Principal, I’m to meet the Alpha at the pack house tomorrow at ten to discuss a


    career opportunity. Suddenly Bruno and I are excited and can’t wait for tomorrow to be here.


    Matt’s POV


    Today is the worst fucking day of my life. To start off with rejecting my mate and being rejected in


    return. Which broke the spell a sachet of herbs Sarah had given me under the guise of it being made to


    ward off evil. Ha! Ward off evil my furry ass. It allowed evil to manipte me for thest six years! It


    exined why I’d been ignoring Aries. And it’s what made me make the biggest mistake any wolf could


    ever make. Rejecting their mate.


    I wanted to howl in despaire at the wrong done to us. Sarah is pure Evil. Withant tha All


    Without the spell I would have been working all this time to be the wolf that truly deserved a female like


    Alora. There was nothing we could do now, we lost our chance. Hell. Sarah had made sure I never had


    that chance. I swear to the Moon Goddess if she ever see’s fit to bless me with another mate I wouldn’t


    allow anything, not a damn thing to get in my way iming her.


    I may not deserve a second chance mate. But Aries did, none of this was his fault. It was all mine, for


    not being strong enough to withstand a spell sachet. My father told me that the satchet carried a


    me. It was the shattering of my mate bond, an even stronger magic, that had broken the


    spell.


    But that was a small constion. Compared to what it was the small, seemingly harmless, packet of


    herbs had cost me. That she-wolf needed to be held ountable. My father said I can bring charges


    against her. And I think I will. Now that the fog was lifted I realized there were allot of things I’d seen


    that spoke of her evil.


    She liked to hurt people. I’ve been remembering some of the things I heard her tell her friends. They all


    wouldugh about who she hurt and how. Those three were just as evil as she was. Then I pause, or


    were they? Now that I think about it. Those threee from good loving families. Maybe they had


    sachets themselves? The only way to find out was to ask them. Sarah was going to be with her parents


    immediately after we’re released for the lunch break. Maybe I can catch the three girls on there way


    out. 2


    So my father doesn’t worry I text him. I tell him my theory and my n. It’s a simple n really. Ask


    them if Sarah ever gave them a packet of herbs they were told to keep on them. That’s all my dad had


    asked me. My dad texts me back. He tells me he’ll wait nearby where I’m going to try and stop them, so


    he can keep an eye on me in case something happens.


    I almost wished someone would kill me. I’d rejected my chance at a wonderful, love filled life. But that


    wasn’t fair to Aries. If I’m honest with myself, it’s Aries who I’m seeking justice for, he had been the one


    held hostage the most. Because while the spell worked on my human brain, it didn’t affect my wolf’s


    brain. I’m learning the full extent to which my wolf was tormented.


    I can’t help but thinking that if Lauren, Beatrice and Agatha were under a sachets control, just how their


    wolves feel. Putting those thoughts aside I look back down at the tform and watch the matches of


    the Alpha ss. I couldn’t help but be in awe as I watched Xena battle. She was an amazing Alpha


    female. Her form was fierce and perfect for battle, her strength glowing from within.


    It’s not long before it was over. I get up and make my way to the exit to wait for the girls. Dad told me,


    to break the spell for them, I’d have to set fire to their sachets. If they were indeed being controlled by


    one. But I thought about the fact that we would need evidence to be able to get a conviction. I look up


    at the big screen with this portion of the tournaments rankings, then it came to me. Photographic


    Evidence.


    I pull out my phone and text my dad “Can you find a way to record me and the girls. I want evidence


    space created by the high wall of the arenas surrounding bleachers above the pit. There was a wide


    hallway leading to the double doors of the exit, standing near one of the concrete floor to ceiling


    support beams that were ced at regr intervals around the Coliseum, I spot the girls. Then I waved


    them down.


    Theye over to where I was standing. “Hay girls, I wanted to ask you something.” I say. They


    looked at each other, their looks confused, then Beatrice and Agatha nod at Lauren, she looks at me


    and says. “Go ahead.” in a short crisp voice. “Has Sarah or anyone given you a sachet of herbs they


    told you to carry with you at all


    times?” They all look surprised at my question. Then confused again. O


    It was Lauren who first started to dig in her purse, then the other two did. Lauren pulled out arge


    rhinestone covered, clip wallet, Beatrice a small shiny card carrier, and Agatha arge double zipper


    wallet in a standard ck with gray diamond patchwork. All three girls pulled out a sachets from these


    wallet. “Can I see those?” I ask.


    Lauren looks at the other girls, shrugs her shoulders, turns and hands me the sachet with a roll of her


    eyes and a “Sure, I don’t see why not.” uttered in a dry tone. The other two hand me theirs. “Do you


    remember who gave these to you and when?” I ask them. Lauren and the girls looked at each other


    then at me. “It was Sarah,” said Lauren. “She gave them to us during her ninth birthday


    party.” added Beatrice. “She said they were to make sure we always remaind best friends.” this from


    Agatha. (2)


    “Did she say how she got them?” I asked. “Yeah, she got them from a Witch.” Said Lauren “Sarah calls


    the Witch Aunty.” said Beatrice “The Witch was best friends with Bettina, they were always together


    before the Witch was Banished.” said Agatha. “Sarah was really upset when that happened.” said


    Lauren.All content ? N/.?vel/Dr/ama.Org.


    “We had a Pack pic about three months before it happened, but after we received our Satchets.”


    said Beatrice “That was the day Sarah had us help her throw Alora into the River.” said Agatha. “I


    remember my parents being so furious at me for being involved.” said Lauren. “My mother was


    horrified, told me I humiliated her and dad in front of the


    Alpha.” Beatrice told us “My


    grandmother was really disappointed in me, she wouldn’t talk to me for a month after that.” said


    Agatha.


    “What are you going to do with the sachets?” asked Lauren. “The spell on these is harmful to all three


    of you, so what I’m going to do is burn them to get rid of the spell.” I tell them. I get out my lighter, the


    one dad gave me when I went on my first survival mission in training ss. The girls are muttering


    between themselves, I crouch down, set the sachets down on the ground, then set them on fire.


    They burned different colors, blue, then green, then red, before the mes dimmed and the sachets


    were nothing but ash. They had gone up quickly, the herbs being dry and the material of the sachets


    had been worn with age.


    I look back up at the girls, they were


    standing there, staring at the ashes of the sachets. Each had different expressions of shock and other


    emotions. It was Beatrice who fell to her knees with a scream of anguish, it was heart wrenching. It


    took me only a moment, for me to recognize that pain. And as cruel as I was beginning to realize Sarah


    was, I didn’t doubt I was too far off my mark.


    She screamed once more, before sobbing, tears rushing down her face “She had me reject my mate!”


    she curls up into herself on the floor, her pain and despair a voluminous cloud around her. Lauren and


    Agatha fall to their knees, one on each side of Beatrice, tears on their faces they both hug Beatrice.


    Supporting her as her anguish cripples her. Sarah has done so much damage. She was a horrible she-


    wolf, evil incarnate. It’s the only way to exin what she made her friend and I do. O
