Walking to training I was suddenly jerked into the locker room as I passed them.
A gasp of fright leaving my lips not expecting to be grabbed. Spinning around I come face to face with my mother.
“Geez you scared the crap out of me” I chuckle. But she was staring down at me with a stern face I didn’t like.
“Where have you been?”
“Detention, where else?”
“I looked for you, you weren’t in detention with Angie”
“No I was placed in the Alpha’s office”
“What why?”
“Because that where he told me to go”
“Don’t use that tone with me young lady, now listen today is wolf training”
“Okay I will tell them I am sick” I tell her but she shakes her head. I watch horrified as she pulls something from her pocket I hadn’t seen in years.
“You can’t skip it’s compulsory, but you take one of these and we can explain away why you can’t shift” she says.
“You can’t be serious mum”
“It’s the only way, we can’t have them find out till after you have proven yourself useful to the pack”
“No I won’t take it” I tell her not wanting to take the wolfsbane pill. My mother used to give them to me when I didn’t get my wolf to hide it from the Alpha at first. Then she started giving me them to build up a tolerance to them, to prepare me for when I am older. Well until dad found out and lost it. He stopped believing the excuses about how I was ingesting the worst poison to werewolves.
“You will take them and you say one word to your father, young lady” she warns.
“He will smell it on me” I tell her knowing full well my father would recognise the smell.
“Not in pill form he won’t” she says opening the black box she kept her stash in. It was the size of a wallet.
She opens it showing me the little white pills. She grabs one out hissing slightly as it burns her fingers. And to think she expects me to swallow it.
“No!” I tell her and she glares.
“I will not throw everything down the drain for a tantrum, now F*cking take it Kat”
“And exactly how do I explain I ingested to wolfsbane”
“Tell them you must have got some on you in science or something, this is all I have at the moment as an excuse. You say your sick you look weak, i won’t have you embarrass me further understood”
“Hey you okay?” Jasmine asks through the mind lk. I shake my head, not able to even mindlk back. My vision blurring terribly when I hear my mother call my name then Angie’s.
Sht!” My mother gasps barely audible to my ears. Great Angie is going to rip me to pieces.
