Chapter 4:
Abandoned building
Gunner: “What's wrong, my love?”
Nikita: “This place always gives me the creeps.”
Gunner: “I promise you we won't stay long.”
Nikita: “What's wrong? And don't you dare lie to me.”
Gunner: “I feel like I'm failing Accalia. She has no interest participating in the pack activities anymore. I'm at a loss on what to do.”
Nikita: “Don't be so hard on yourself. Accalia's just going through a phase all she wolves experience at one point in their lives.”
Gunner: “What do you mean?”
Nikita: “We both know she's reaching the age of twenty one. She's hormonal and fiery. Not to mention she's the last white wolf. Who knows what we're to expect but don't take it personally.”
Gunner: “Where would I be without you?”
Nikita: “That's why I'm your luna.”
Gunner: “On a more serious note…we probably shouldn't keep them waiting any longer.”
Nikita’s Wolf: “I hate being here, too.”
In Nikita’s head: At least that makes two of us, Denali.
Alder: “Why aren't they here?!”
Rowan: “Patience, Alder.”
Alder: “Well my patience is starting to wear thin.”
Gunner: “Remember your place, Alder.”
Rowan: “I apologize on his behalf, alpha.”
Gunner: “Enough small talk. Care to explain why myself and my mate were summoned here?”
Rowan: “I take it you're aware of the killings happening in Canada right now?”
Gunner: “Correct.”
Alder: “You have known about the killings and yet done nothing to prevent them?!”
Rowan: “What Alder is trying to say is the fact that killing a human is the biggest crime any wolf can make. Once humans find out, a war would break out. It’s imperative our kind stays hidden.”
Nikita: “With all due respect, the wolf committing these crimes lives on Canadian soil. So why are the packs over there not dealing with the problem?”
Alder: “You're the royal werewolves. All packs seek to you in times like this.”
Gunner: “So what do you suggest we do?”
Sedrick: “I'm surprised you even have to ask, Gunner. You'll locate this wolf and exterminate them. (later that night at the pack house)”
In Accalia’s head: A present?
Milena’s Note: “Surprise. When I went shopping, I decided to pick you up a little something. I love you very much.”
In Accalia’s head: I don't deserve her. Let's see what's in here. These dresses are beautiful. (at the club that night)
Milena: “This is amazing.”
Accalia: “What do you wanna do first?”
Milena: “Let's dance.”
In Axel’s head: There she was. The she wolf that ignited all my senses. My eyes were instantly drawn to her presence. Her hips swayed effortlessly to the music, hypnotizing me further into a trance like state. Even though I was a son of a ruthless alpha, I was at her mercy. And the worst part was she didn't even know it. But tonight was the night, I'd finally make Accalia mine.
Axel: “Excuse me, Elya. Hello little sister, can I still Accalia away for a moment?”
Milena: “Accalia?”
Accalia: “Sure.”
Axel: “Great, let's go to the bar and get a drink.”
Milena: “Are you sure you'll be okay?”
Accalia: “Of course. Did you want anything?”
Milena: “The strongest stuff they have.”
Accalia: “Coming right up.”
Hunter: “Just go and talk to her already.”
Cole: “Are you sure?”
Hunter: “Go.”
Cole: “Thanks man.”
In Hunter’s head: Why are both of my bros so whipped?!
Hunter’s Wolf: “Idiots.”
Cole: “Milena…”
Milena: “Hi Cole.”
Cole: “Fancy going on a walk with me?”
Milena: “I would love that.”
Cole: “Ladies first.”
Axel: “Thank you for having a drink with me. I know you're probably upset with me but you have to believe me when I say that I never thought Elya would take things that far. I should've done more to stop her. I'm really sorry.”
Accalia: “I'm not gonna sugarcoat it, I’m upset. The only one who stood up for me was Milena.”
Axel: “I know I've hurt you but please don't let this ruin what we have. Why don't we try and turn this night around? I'll start off by getting you a drink.”
Accalia: “I was supposed to be getting Milena a drink as well.”
Milena’s Mindlink: “I won't be needing a drink anymore. I've gone on a walk with Cole.”
Accalia’s Mindlink: “Good luck, Milena.”
Milena: “Can I open my eyes?”
Cole: “Not yet.”
Milena: “Now?!”
Cole: “Now. Do you like it?”
Milena: “I love it!! You did all of this for me?”
Cole: “Actually, there's something I wanted to talk to you about. Milena, I have feelings for you. I think you might be my mate. Please release your scent to me so I can know for sure.”
Milena: “I've been dreaming at this moment. But now that it's here, I'm terrified.”
Cole: “Let's do it together. On the count of three, we'll release our full scent. One…”
Milena: “Two…”
Cole: “Three…”
Cole’s Wolf: “Mate!!”
Milena’s Wolf: “Mate!!”
Milena: “Oh my God, Cole!!”
Cole: “I knew you were my mate. Happy birthday, Milena.”
Cole’s Wolf: “Mine.”
Milena’s Wolf: “Mine. (at the club)”
Accalia: “I don't really see the point of drinking when we burn off the alcohol so quickly.”
Axel: “Feeling a small high is better than nothing.”
Accalia: “I suppose.”
Axel: “Fancy another shot?”
Accalia: “Let's do it.”
Axel: “I can't believe we managed to actually get drunk.”
Accalia: “The regret is real. I don't think I can drink anymore.”
In Axel’s head: Death is coming.
Axel: “Please excuse me, Accalia.”
In Accalia’s head: Need…water.
Accalia: “I'm rethinking my choices in life.”
Hunter: “Rough night? Sorry, didn't mean to startle you. Look Accalia, the reason I came out here was so I wasn't bothered by annoying she wolves and that's exactly what you are.”
Accalia: “I’m sorry.”
In Hunter’s head: Damn it.
Hunter: “I'm sorry for always being a jerk towards you. I need to work on my social skills.”
In Accalia’s head: You're telling me.
Accalia: “Don't sweat it.”
Hunter: “Axel just mindlinked me. He wants you to meet him upstairs.”
Accalia: “I better get going. Axel?!”
In Accalia’s head: Maybe he went back to the party?
Accalia: “What are you doing?!”
Axel: “Shh. Do you know how long I've waited for you? I can't ignore this connection anymore. Everything about you drives me and Ignis wild.”
Accalia: “Axel…”
Axel: “Don't say anything. Release your scent to me.”
Accalia: “Axel, please…you’re too close.”
Axel: “I said release your scent to me!! Please, I have to know.”
In Accalia’s head: I don't know what came over me, all I knew was that I had to get away from here, get away from him.
Accalia: “Get away from me!!”
Axel: “You're not in a position to be making such demands.”
Accalia: “I said, GET AWAY FROM ME!! Stay away from me!! I'll never be your mate.”
In Axel’s head: What the fuck just happened?! when did she become so strong?
Axel’s Wolf: “Something's off with her, I can feel it. (in the hallway)”
In Accalia’s head: How could he do that to me?! He knew how uncomfortable I was and yet he kept pushing. I don't feel well.
Elya: “Having a good night, Accalia?”
Accalia: “What do you want?”
Elya: “No, is that anyway to talk to a fellow pack member?”
Accalia: “Please go away, Elya.”
Elya: “I'll never obey orders given by an omega. Get out of our house!!”
In Accalia’s head: It's that sickness again, I really don't feel well. Sesi, what's happening to us?
Laneya: “What's wrong with you?!”
Elya: “Poor thing, clearly can't handle her drink.”
In Accalia’s head: Sesi, help me. Please. Where am I? My head is killing me. I've never seen this place before. I need to get out of here. why am I covered in blood?! whose blood is this?!
Accalia: “Luna Nikita?! What's going on? Why am I in here?!”
Nikita: “You need to come with me. (at the hospital)”
Accalia: “Help, alpha. Why am I here?”
Gunner: “I'm surprised you even need to ask.”
In Accalia’s head: Elya?!
Accalia: “What happened to her?!”
Laneya: “You should know, Accalia. You did this.”
Accalia: “It wasn't me. I would never do something like that.”
Laneya: “Stop with the innocent act. You went insane and now Elya is laying in a hospital bed.”
Accalia: “It really wasn't me.”
Laneya: “Answer me this…whose blood are you covered in?”
Gunner: “That's enough from the both of you.”
Accalia: “Alpha, I…”
Gunnter: “ENOUGH!! Emergency pack meeting now.”
Milena: “Okay, I think I'll start this off by saying what the hell is going on and why is Accalia covered in blood?!”
Gunner: “Hush your mouth, Milena. Now without further interruptions sadly one of our own is in the hospital. You can thank Accalia for that. You're all aware the punishment for attacking one of our own.”
Milena: “Wait!! She hasn't even had a chance to say anything. I know Accalia better than anyone and I know she wouldn't do something like that.”
Gunner: “Let's ask her then.”
Milena: “Gladly. Tell them, Accalia.”
In Accalia’s head: The truth is…I didn't know if I was innocent anymore. All the random outburst, the anger, all the confusing feelings I've been experiencing for weeks…could it have been leading to this very moment? This would be explaining everything. the voice I've been hearing; why Sesi won't communicate with me…everything is stunning to become clear. It's nothing to do with my wolf, I'm just a bad individual. I don't deserve this home, my friends or my family. My parents would be ashamed of me.
Gunner: “Her silence says it all.”
Milena: “Accalia?”
Gunner: “Accalia, your parents were proud betas to this pack. When they passed away, me and Nikita promised to raise you on their behalf. I loved you like my own daughter but you have completely crossed the line. We as the royal pack, cannot tolerate such behavior in this pack. Not only did you nearly kill a fellow pack member but you attacked my son. My heir and your future alpha. I hereby banish you, Accalia, from the Sawtooth Pack.”
