Chapter 157
1680words
My eyelids opened abruptly, noticing that i just lost consciousness. I sat on my place and slowly remembered everything that escalated earlier. After a while of feeling my numb limbs, i glanced towards the clock on the room.
It's already been an hour?
I coughed, feeling nauseated as i felt the demi-god's magic around my abdomen. "God's magic is so disgusting."
I placed both of my hands onto the cold ground, supporting myself when i stood up. I couldn't believe how my room looks like right now.
It was a total mess.
I sighed. "I shouldn't have brought her to my room.. that was my mistake."
Then i noticed something underneath my feet, it was the documents that AlphaKing Zyrus ordered me about. Feeling nervous, i picked it up in a hurried manner, guilty that i haven't sent it as soon as i should.
Because of my panic state, a paper falls from the folder.
I faced down to get it, but something made my eyes go wide. There was a small note on it, a note for me.
From the Alphaking!
Hastily, i picked it up. Reading through it.
¶¶ Jaxon, hand this piece of paper to Syrena. It's not for you. If you're Syrena and you're reading this i want you to investigate something for me. I took Amber's blood and placed it in a bottle while she was asleep, go take it in my room and don't you ever reveal this to anyone. I suspect that there's a connection to Brianna and Amber. It's weird that Amber suddenly became my mate and an odd one at that. It was a mate pull but it wasn't strong enough to convince me. If i had to guess, it has something to do with what Brianna made me drink before. Also, Brianna was plotting something with some witches so i insist that you be cautious to other witches. My gut is telling me that's something is going on, so don't let your guard down. Lastly, send Christal far away in the meantime, guard her carefully. I trust you with this, if something happens to her. You're going down with her. ¶¶
I gulped.
Oh no, his last order was something that i haven't accomplished. He told me to send Christal away to safety yet i let her run off again!
I groaned in exhaustion.
"I just fought with a crazed woman and now i have to die in that Alpha's hands?"
Life is tough for a Dark witch such as me. I don't even know why i'm still alive and kicking for those two lovebirds that can't seem to find their happy ending.
I slapped myself. "Now is not the time to think about life. I have to investigate Brianna-Amber operation."
I nodded before quickly dragging myself away from my messed up room and heading towards the Alphaking's bedroom. As i arrived, i twisted the knob carefully, inspecting if anyone was there.
"Good there's no one." I muttered, before rushing in and closing the door behind me.
Since i had to time to act composed, i hurriedly went through his drawers and tried to find the bottler that he asked me to get.
Ah damn it! Why didn't he give me a specific location? how does he expect me to rummage through his drawers like this?!
Sadly, i had no choice. Time was running out that i didn't care that i was waking a mess of his things everywhere, trying my best not to contact with any object as long as i can, since the Alphaking is kinda sensitive towards Dark Magic.
After a while of throwing things all around the place. My jaw elevated firmly when i saw the bottle that has color-red liquid on it. It was strangely placed in an obvious spot.
I faced-palmed myself. "He placed the bottle on the top of a table?"
He's being so secretive but look at him placing it on the most obvious location! ugh, i don't know know why i'm trying to understand him, the Alphaking is just someone whom i can't fully understand even after living so many years.
Well..
if you think about it, it could be just because he was sure that no one would go into his room without permission unless they have a death wish or something.
I picked it up, quickly hiding it inside my bag.
Before i left his room, i placed everything back in place in a neat manner. Who knows, he might just kill me if he saw his room being chaotic due to a Witch's task.
I rolled my eyes, shaking the thoughts off my mind.
I didn't waste any more time and made my way back to the concoction room. Strangely though, there were only a few witches who were there at the moment. I looked at the few suspiciously, their eyes quickly avoiding mine.
No matter how i see it. AlphaKing's right, the witches have been acting strange these days.
Meanwhile, i arrived at my own private room of seclusion. Closing the door behind me, i locked it hastily. I pulled out the bottle and threw my bag in a corner before i started placing the two bottles of blood infront of me.
One was from the Alpha, and the other from amber.
"Now let's see." I mumbled, taking a small container and dropping few droplets from the two bottles. I carefully inspected how the blood started to mix from one another.
Now this is actually a very easy test. Although i can't determine the physcial properties of the drug used, i can definitely test if the unknown substances in their blood will mix together, meaning that it had similar properties that enabled it to be soluble to one another
I breathed out calmy, focusing my dark magic to the container as i evaporated the blood carefully, leaving only the unknown elements from the blood.
Now, there are two results i'm expecting. One is a failed result, meaning it will show two distinct elements that obviously didn't mix together. Meaning that Amber's mate thing had nothing to do with the drug that the Alphaking ingested. For the second one. The positive result is a test for only one element to appear, meaning the two unknown substances from their bloods, had mixed in harmony.
I already expected the outcome when the result came back positive, as the blood evaporates, there was only one element left from the container.
"I'll be damned," I smirked.
You're so dead you imposter.
Smiling to my small achievement, i took the container with me after closing it with a tight lid. It was evidence to be presented towards the Alphaking if he ever becomes suspicious of me.
I ran out from the concoction room and hurried towards Delta. My feet feeling numb after going back and forth to one place to another. I was being so hasty that i cursed anyone in my way, my eyes burning with determination as i held the container on my hands.
To the arena!
After who knows how long i run like a crazy woman, i finally arrived at the most nosiest place i've ever been.
The arena!
It was packed with hundreds of werewolves, all of them shouting distinct languages to each other, trying to overpower the noise that was already vibrating through the place
I covered both of my ears in annoyance, werewolves are so noisy!
After a while of complaining on. my thought, my eyes led me to find the Alphaking who sat on the second floor with the other alphas.
"Alphaking!"
Yet he couldn't hear me because of the noise in the Arena.
There is only one guy on stage, so why are they being so noisy for?!
I placed a hand on my forehead, frustrated at my situation fight now. I was being swayed away like a dead plant by the crowd around me. And it looks like they are used to this kind of thing.
"H-Hey! get away!" I shrieked, the smelly werewolves being pushed onto me by the crowd.
If only i can use magic here!
I was cut out from my thoughts when suddenly, all of the werewolves turned silent. Their head-turning in a similar direction, as their eyes were filled with either confusion and amusement.
I got curious so i followed their gaze.
My jaw drops in an instant
"Christal!?" I covered my mouth in shock, seeing her as she happily skips into the stage, not bothering that everyone.
I MEAN EVERYONE JUST SILENTLY STARED AT HER ENTRANCE.
She stands the opposite side to the guy inside the stage, her arm going to her side, and bending her hips in the same direction,
Is she insane?! what is she even doing here?! isn't she supposed to be running away from the alpha king after saying all those things?! i mean she did say she was gonna kill her mate, but who would've thought she would do it in front of the whole werewolf society!!
THIS GIRL IS INSANE!
Since everyone was so quiet, i took that as a chance to reach out to her. My voice cracking as i shouted with all my might. "CHRISTAL! GET DOWN FROM THERE! THIS IS NOT FUNNY!!!"
I'm gonna die!
As soon as she sees me, she waves her hand playfully, as if i was cheering for her. "Hey! Syrena! You woke up already?"
I placed a hand against my face, so close to fainting from stress. I haven't even said a word yet she still had something to add to her ridiculous behavior right now.
"Don't forget to cheer for me!" She snickers, her evil smile surfacing.
I was so dumbfounded that i forgot to notice the Alphaking until the glass that was covering the second-floor breaks into pieces. Everyone gasps in horror, as the Alphaking was leaking monstrous anger towards the stage.
i gulped, Just why? what is she thinking right now?!
"Let's start .. shall we?" Christal smiles towards her opponent, completely ignoring her angry mate above her.
