Chapter 3:
The next day
Nikita: “Happy birthday, kids. My babies are growing up.”
Axel: “Thanks, luna.”
Cheyenne: “Do you have to go?”
Gunner: “I'm afraid we must, but we'll be back tomorrow.”
Nikita: “Look after each other, we love you.”
Gunner: “Last thing before we go. I want you all outside for a training session in ten minutes.”
Cheyenne: “What?!”
Milena: “But dad, it's our birthday.”
Gunner: “Ten minutes, Milena.”
Milena: “Yes, alpha.”
Gunner: “And Axel?”
Axel: “Yes, father?”
Gunner: “Make sure Accalia is present. (outside training)”
Axel: “I want everyone to pair up and start off with basic combat skills. We're the most feared packed in America. It's imperative We keep it that way. Let's begin with Hunter and Cheyenne.”
Hunter: “Just because you're the princess, doesn't mean I'm going to take it ea…you ANIMAL!!”
Cheyenne: “That's what happens when you mess with a red wolf.”
Cheyenne’s Wolf: “Hopefully one day we can actually find a Worthy opponent.”
In Cheyenne’s head: Hopefully one day, Vixen.
Axel: “Cole, do you wanna…”
Cole: “No.”
Axel: “Very well then, let's move on. Elya, you'll fight…”
Accalia: “Me.”
In Elya’s head: How is she still alive?!”
Milena: “Accalia?! Where have you been?”
Axel: “That's more like it, Accalia. Okay, Accalia and Elya, you’re up.”
Elya: “Why are you here? You never attend our pack training sessions.”
Accalia: “Let's just say I had a change of heart.”
Elya: “Whatever. Everyone knows what an embarrassment you are to this pack.”
Cole: “Milena, don’t.”
Milena: “Someone needs to teach that mutt a lesson.”
Cole: “I know you're angry but you need to let Accalia fight her own battles.”
Elya: “Ready when you are.”
In Accalia’s head: Maybe this is a bad idea.
Elya: “Don't you even think about backing out now.”
Milena: “Come on, Accalia. Fuck her up!!”
Axel: “What's your language, Milena.”
Elya: “Can we start now?”
Milena: “Woo! Go girl!!”
In Elya’s head: Fuck standard training. This bitch has it coming.
Accalia: “I’m sorry, Elya.”
Milena: “STOP!!”
Elya: “See what I mean? Absolutely pathetic. Why is she even living in the pack house? We only have time for the best and this she wolf will never amount to anything. Just because her parents died doesn't mean we have to babysit her. It's probably for the best that her parents are even here. They would be ashamed to see how weak they're only daughter turned out to be.”
In Accalia’s head: There it was again…the same burning desire in my chest. I could feel every single hair on my body stand up. My mind became blurry, like I was gonna pass out but not from my injuries but rather from the darkness that was starting to plague my mind like a sickness.
Accalia’s Wolf: “Accalia?! Accalia, can you hear me? You need to move, now.”
In Accalia’s head: I felt Sesi beginning to fade and something filled with pure hatred taking her place. As much as I wanted to listen to Sesi, I just couldn't. The darkness eventually became so overwhelming that I could no longer fight it.
Elya: “Come on, Accalia. Stop begging for attention.”
Accalia: “Shut up!!”
Elya: “Excuse me?!”
Accalia: “I SAID, SHUT UP!!”
Elya: “Accalia…y-your eyes!!”
Accalia: “Scared are we?! Good. I've been putting up with your shit for years, but no more. I promise you, if you say one more negative word about me I'll tear your throat out.”
In Milena’s head: I’ve known Accalia my whole life. This was the first time I've seen her like this. I could hear the pure venom in her words. Maybe this was the true nature of a white wolf.
Elya: “What are you gonna do?!”
Accalia: “Oh, look how the mighty have fallen. I guess the tables have finally turned and it's now you who's afraid of me.”
Elya: “GO TO HELL!!”
Accalia: “Oh Elya, it's you who's about to be sent to hell because I'm about to rip your face off!!”
Milena: “THAT’S ENOUGH ACCALIA!!”
Accalia: “Move aside, Milena.”
Milena: “What's wrong with you?! Can't you see that this isn't you right now?!”
Accalia: “That doesn't concern you. Elya has been bullying me for years and I'm sick of it. Move out of my way before I hurt you too. M-Milena?”
Milena: “Hey, it's okay. You're safe.”
Accalia: “I’m sorry.”
Axel: “Milena, take Accalia home.”
Milena: “Come on, Accalia.”
In Accalia’s head: I felt like I was slowly losing my mind. How could I ever face my pack again? Despite Milena’s best efforts, I was in a state of despair. I can't believe I threatened my best friend. was this the reason Sesi has become so quiet? Why does it feel like there was a parasite consuming my mind? Regardless of today's events, I decided to ignore it and move on. After all, it was still Milena’s birthday.
Accalia: “Couldn't we have done without the face masks?”
Milena: “How dare you?! If I'm gonna attract Cole, then I must look my best. So quit your fucking whining.”
Accalia: “Speaking of Cole…what's your plan of action?”
Milena: “Don't worry your pretty little head about it. I've come up with three possible scenarios to win his affections.”
Accalia: “Um, okay…care to elaborate?”
Milena: “Okay, so…(scenario one)”
Axel: “Hello, little sister. How can I help you?”
Milena: “Actually I'm here to talk to Cole…alone.”
Axel: “Why?”
Milena: “Leave, now!!”
Cole: “You look beautiful.”
Milena: “Thanks, you look pretty good yourself. Uh, fuck it!! (present time)”
Accalia: “No.”
Milena: “Then how about this. (scenario two)”
Cole: “Hey Milena. You look…what took you so long?”
Milena: “Just shut up and kiss me. (present time)”
Accalia: “You can't be serious?”
Milena: “Oh come on. I thought that was romantic.”
Accalia: “Yeah, no. Slapping someone isn't romantic.”
Milena: “Well this last one is bound to work. (scenario three)”
Cole: “Milena?! I got your mindlink, are you here?!”
In Cole’s head: I guess I misheard what she said.
Milena: “Looking for me, wolfie. Like what you see?”
Cole: “How could I not?”
Milena: “Then what are you waiting for? (present time)”
Accalia: “I don't need to know about your innermost fantasies.”
Milena: “Dramatic much. (later on outside the pack house)”
Laneya: “What was so urgent you needed to see me right away?”
Elya: “Shh. Someone might hear you.”
Laneya: “What is this about?”
Elya: “We are going to get rid of Accalia Once and for all. (somewhere in Canada in the woods)”
Poppy: “You just need to chase that squirrel didn't you Garnet Thanks to you, we're lost.”
In Garnet’s head: That fluffy bugger had it coming.
Poppy: “I think I see an opening ahead, let's go. (at a cemetery). My favorite color might be black but this is too creepy, even for me. What is it, Garnet? You poor thing. Where did you come from?”
In Poppy’s head: What is this? Blood?!
Poppy: “But this isn't your blood…who's there?! What are you?!”
Malik: “The last face you'll ever see.”
