Chapter LEXI: They All Must Die
I sit up with a groan and cough to clear my hoarse throat. "Elizabet! Clover! I yell but get nothing in response. "Silas! Sage!" Again nothing. I drag myself up in a standing position and stiffly make my way to the cell door.
I'm quickly jerked back by a chain secured around my ankle. Shit that burns. Why didn't I feel that. "Lilly are you there? Lil?" I feel her slowly shift in my mind. "I'm here Lexi. What happened." She asks in a weak voice.
My body is littered in bruises and my pelvis is throbbing. My head starts pounding to the beat of my heart. Flashes of greasy men on top of me blur through my mind. These pricks will die! "We need to get out of here. Can you smell the pups or anyone else?"I focus on our surroundings, as Lilly sniffs the air.
Minutes later she whines. "Nothing but mildew and rotten blood." She sighs. I start to panic and tug on the chain. As they start to rip from the wall I realize my hands arent burning like my ankle. "These idiots coated the cuff and not the chain!' I yank again and the wall shakes before the chain almost falls free.
Foot steps coming from the hall stop me in my tracks. The lock on the titanium cell door creak before opening. "What the fuck!" I can't believe my eyes. This bitch really has a death wish. "Hello skank! Did you miss me." She sneers. "Katie what the fuck did you do!"
*****************************************
I am fuming. Lilly growls in my chest ready to rip the slut apart. "Oh shut up! You aren't surprised are you? Besides no one will ever know. Once I kill you and they get what they want. I'll be the one to comfort Ilad and be the true beta female." She twirls a copper lock.
As much as I want to rip her face off. I need to keep her talking. "Whatever you say. I'm sure they'll fail and Ilad will spit on your grave." I laugh in her face. She growls. I have her now. She stalks towards me and grips my face. I pretend to wince so she'll believe she has the upper hand.
"See you pathetic piece of trash. That's where you're wrong. Luna Telth and that creepy witch bitch will succeed. Once they kill your disgusting runts. Then suck your precious niece and nephew dry of their power. They will take the pack. Killing that weak Alpha and his mate." Oh I'm going to enjoy killing her. I think to myself as she keeps blabbing. "Then the TRUE Alpha will reign again. Long live Alpha King Ksaris." She holds her chin up with pride.
I start to laugh hysterically. "Are you fucking stupid. Ksaris is dead." I yell and the psycho smiles. "Not for long. Your pups unique Alpha essence will change that. Do you know Alphas born in their fur are of royal blood. There hasn't been a wolf born that way since Ksaris. He ripped his way out of his mother. A trade really. Them for him."
Lilly pushes forward snapping the remaining chain from our foot. Our hand wraps around Katie's neck and we ram her full speed into the cell door. Her face sizzles and she screams for us to stop. I guess the door is silver hence the week chain. "They'll get those babies over my dead body bitch!" I toss her to the floor and start to shift.
Lilly leaps on Katie, who tries to stop us but we rip her arm from her body. Katie screams and crawls to the far wall. " Please I'll leave, I'll disappear. Just don't kill me." She begs with tears staining her blood soaked face. Lilly bares her teeth. Blood dripping from her maw. She stalks toward a whimpering Katie and clamps down on her head. Crushing her skull.
Lilly drops her body and I shift back. "Lets go get our pups." I quickly change into katies pants and her blood soaked shirt. Having shredded my clothes shifting. Using Katie's disregarded arm. I open the door and run from the cell area. Nose to the air.
