Wounds

Atasha's Point of View

"You’ll pay for this, Veronica!" She’s the enemy. Why did you punch me in the face? Hand me the keys now! " Beta Drogo screamed as he stood up right away on his feet. He then transformed into a werewolf. He became a ferocious beast in an instant. I was scared for my life. His fangs were sharp as blades, and his fur was ash blonde. That reminds me of wolves running around in the snowy mountains. His jaw clenched and the saliva was dripping from his mouth, pouring into his claws. He went to attack me, but Elijah stopped him using his right arm.

Beta Drogo then bit into Elijah’s werewolf arms. "Back off, you better not want to hurt my mate, Beta. Not even a single scratch! " He then punched Beta Drogo with all of his might into its jaw. "Stay away from me, Elijah; you don’t want this fight with me!" Beta’s claws wounded Elijah’s torso, and I could see the blood pouring on the ground. As I tried to transform into a werewolf to stop their fight, Veronica then held my hand and asked that we should run away while Elijah was still buying time for us.

We tried to escape, but I felt nervous that Elijah would be in trouble. Veronica then assured me that he would be okay and I didn’t need to worry about him, but all I could see was Elijah being wounded back and forth with his exchanges with Beta Drogo. Then a wild scream was heard, then a few Crimson Army stopped us from going outside.

"I’m sorry, but I need to do this," Marco said to me and Veronica as we were about to go outside. We were surrounded by the army of werewolves of the Crimson Moon pack. They then quickly tried to put handcuffs on my hands, but I quickly pushed them away. In a span of a few seconds, they tried again to hold my hands but Veronica rapidly shifted into a werewolf that making the army surrounding us shocked to see Veronica transformed into a monster.

"Don't ever touch her and you'll be in trouble! I'll make sure that I'll tear each one of you into pieces!"

She started beating up each of the armies and the Sentinel just palmed his face and he figured out that he has no choice but to let us go. We’re about to escape on the mansion outside of the huge garden inside of the gates. We saw a battalion waiting for us as we stepped outside on the main front door.

Marco then asked the battalion of the army to let us all go since they don’t want to fight Veronica at this point and he thinks it would be better not to shed any blood because if the Alpha knew all about this then it would be messier.

"Veronica, thank you so much for your help, we could not escape from the Mansion without you. I really thought that you already sided with Astrid, I mean...to Trisha."

"To be honest with you Atasha, if there's a chance for me to stop the ceremony today then I'll do. But for now, you need to hide and let Trisha and Zach lead the pack."

I then tapped Veronica's shoulders and looked her in the eye, I was on the verge of crying but I'm holding out into my emotions.

"Veronica, this key right here would be the evidence that Trisha is lying. Once the Alpha knew that Melanie was a cursed werewolf and once he knew that Trisha's eyes right now were from Melanie then she would no longer be the Luna of this pack right? we don't want to ruin Montreal's bloodline. "

She then took a deep breath, "so what should we do?"

"We need to be there at the ceremony without Marco and his army knowing that I'm there. Now that we're escaped. I want you to let them know that you killed me. Then we will give them a fake key and point them to the basement."

She then tried to see if that plan makes sense to her. But we need to create a deception that she did on purpose to get the key and for her to know the location of the basement where the cursed werewolves are buried.

"Sounds like a plan Atasha, I don't know if that would work but let's go ahead and work on it."

I then grabbed a fake key from a drawer in our wooden house with Elijah.

"By the way, will Elijah would be okay?"

The door of the house then opened and I was shocked to see it was Elijah full of wounds. I gasped and went straight to him.

"What happened to you? you have a lot of wounds and cuts on your body!"  I asked him as I was holding to his face.

"This is nothing, he tricked me and he was able to gather his men and tried to attack me all at once but they weren't able to outpower me because I'm the strongest in this domain."

"Do I need to call a pack doctor?" I was worried asking him while holding tight to his arms. I  then assisted him to sit on the couch. Veronica went to the kitchen and find medicine, fresh cloth, and essentials to treat his wounds.

Elijah then lay down on the couch and I take a glance at him. He has some scars. It was my first time seeing him these badly injured. He then doesn't want to look me in his eyes.

"I was just holding in and I don't want to give my all. Alpha Gregory, actually saw what I did so he stopped everyone and Beta Drogo seems worried right now that we got the evidence that would allow us to tell everything about cursed werewolves. Peter left the letter that was laying around in that tomb. It as a note that Melanie has indeed contracted a witch in behalf of her eyes."

He then smiled and closed his eyes to sleep.
