Zooey POV:" I Was Tricked!!!"Alize Ben August and I was sitting in a milkshake place not too far from the pack house. August was still grumpy that he lost to me and mumbling how I tricked him. We all rolled our eyes at him. He also lost 1 thousand dollars because he lost the bet." Just admit that you lost to a girl, and this will all blow over " Ben said smirking counting his money for the fifth time today." Like your one to talk loser! " August said." I didn't lose any money for it though. You did. " Ben replied." How About we just take in the fact that you both got your ass kicked by my best friend without her breaking a sweat. The unbeatable getting beat by the same girl. No one else finds this funny? " Alize over here cracking up. I started to giggle to. The boys just huffed and puffed clearly mad. Gotta loves these guy's man.I turned my head and looked out the window drinking my milkshake. Thinking about how much my life change within the last couple of weeks. Shaking my head at the drastic challenges up ahead. I got out my daze and saw Isabel with some guy in the corner outside the milkshake shop. I figured it was just a pack member, so I was about to turn my head and ignore her like I usually do when I feel her presence... That was until the guy smacked her. Now normally I would find this hilarious. But she is a member of my pack. I have to take responsibility of her whether I like her or not. In this case it's definitely not." Excuse me guys I have to use the lady's room. " I said glad Alize was to focus on getting Bens Attention and August was too focused at looking at his empty wallet.I rushed out the back door towards the corner where they were at. Isabel is a skilled fighter. Why doesn't she fight back? The guy did look intimidating with his broad shoulders and black attire. That shouldn't matter though since she is from the thunder moon pack. Right now, she looks like a weak little girl rather than a soldier. He raises his hand to hit her again. I was debating if I should stop him or not. I mean the girl does need a couple of good whacking's." Put Your hand down. Didn't your mommy told you it's not nice to hit women? " I asked the guy before got the chance to hit her again." And who are you? " He turned around and asked me. Even had the nerves to step up to me." My Name is Zooey. Would say it's a pleasure to meet you but my mother taught me not to lie. Now Isabel if you can kindly come with me and we can leave this.... Gentleman alone. " I replied. Isabel made a move to come closer to me, but he yanked her back by her hair. Ouch. He was giving me a look. Like he was trying to work some voodoo on me or something. Whatever he was trying to do it clearly wasn't working so he turned back to Isabel." You Already upset master. He told me to take you with me. Even by force. Sorry girly you won't be getting her back anytime Soon. Oh, by the way My name is Dexter. Your pretty I hope we run into each other soon. Well, I'm pretty sure we will. " He said and started to walk away dragging Isabel. Aww he called me pretty. Right focus Zooey.I yanked Isabel out his grasp and pulled her behind me." Thanks for the compliment. I'm flattered. Hey since your leaving Give your master a little Note For me " I said and moved closer to him. I'm face to face with Dexter. I smirked and kneed him in the balls. The look of shock on his face was pretty funny. He got on his knees holding his crowned jewels. I grabbed him by his hair he winced." Doesn't feel nice Getting your hair pulled now does it? Tell you master the next time he wants to take someone from my pack forcibly He has to go through me. Nighty night. " I said while smashing his face into my knee knocking him unconscious.I walked towards the milkshake without giving a second glance to Isabel. She knows she got a lot of explaining to do. I have a feeling we found our mole. Except it didn't look like she wanted to be one no more from the red spot on her cheek.I sat down in the empty spot across from them and Isabel sat next to me with her head down. Everyone was giving her the evil glare. Well, it's not like she didn't deserve it." Oh Yeah Guys Isabel will be joining us. What flavor milkshake you want? There's strawberry Passion. Chocolate Madness. Vanilla Sunday with a Dash of Oreo crumbs and rainbow sprinkles. That one is my favorite by the way. Take your time picking August is paying. " I said like it was a regular day, and I didn't just knock someone unconscious a minute ago." I will take the last one then. " Isabel mumbled. Clearly uncomfortable with the stares she was getting from the rest of the group. Under Different circumstances I would have stared her down too but all I could do was order her milkshake and feel bad for her. What shit did she get herself into." Why is her cheek red? Did you hit her? " Ben asked." Why do you think I Hit her? "" Because everyone knows you hate her guts. So, we are all are wondering why she is sitting at this table with us clinging to you like y'all the best of buddies. " Alize said with a little edge In Her voice. If I didn't know better, I'd say she sounds jealous." That's Because she is going to explain to us the slap on her face. Right Isabel? " I said while drinking my milkshake. She nods." They are called Defascents. Main job is to take out leaders of powerful packs and have somebody on the inside giving them updates on how to rule the pack. They then make that pack into hunters reversing their werewolf gene. They then kill were wolfs of other pack and so on and so forth. Naturally they were wiped out by a strong werewolf organization a long time ago. They have recently come back stronger than ever and is attacking this pack as a base to restart what they originally started. When Collin died.... He was killed by the master minion of that organization. The night he died the master talked to me in my head saying I could be the leader of the thunder moon pack. Putting thoughts in my head. I never saw the master, but he told me to do everything He said, and the spot was as good as mine. I didn't want to at first. My alpha just died.... I was grieving .... Then Zooey came. I don't know what came over me. I just knew that my position as leader was compromised. Master wanted her gone. Dexter was keeping tabs on me making sure I get rid of you. But after a while I stop trying. " Isabel said." And why did you stop? " I asked.She looked at August." Because I saw the way he looks at you. How happy you made him. How high spirited the whole pack is ever since you came into their lives. I ... I just knew that you belonged there more than I did. So, I Met up with Dexter today and told him I'm out of the game. The master already knew I Was Going to quit. He wasn't responding to my thoughts. When I tried to explain to Dexter, he slapped me and that's where you came in saving my life Zooey. Thank you for that. " Isabel said sincerely. Aww that almost touched my heart." What don't I understand is why you didn't fight back? I can see your clearly strong. You could have knocked him unconscious before I did. So why didn't you? " I asked." Omg you knocked the guy unconscious?? " Alize said.
" Where is the body?? " Ben asked.
" Why didn't you tell us that was where you were going.? You could have gotten hurt. Or worse. " August said with a look of anger clenching his hands. He started to look out the window for the guy.
" Shouldn't You be focus on the unconscious guy in the corner instead of me who is perfectly fine? " I asked with an eyebrow raised." If you haven't heard he is a part of the organization that killed our alpha. He probably could have easily taken your life without blinking an eye!!! " August said angrily." Again, he is the Unconscious one not me! And I didn't know he was part of that organization at the time!! " I yelled back. What is his problem?? I was just protecting a member of my pack." Well maybe you should be more careful! You can't beat everybody!! You are our leader.!!! We supposed to be protecting you!! " He Growled at me slamming his fist against the table making a scene. We all flinched. I looked at him getting mad myself." They Can't hurt her. I don't know why. Dexter is a warlock which is why I didn't fight back. He could easily turn my brain to Moosh if he feels he needs to. He looked like that's what he was going to do with Zooey when she came to save me, but he couldn't. It's like his magic was rendered ineffective. He can only touch people's minds outside the pack house. For some reason he said the pack house was recently protected by some powerful magic that he can't penetrate through. I didn't know we had a warlock in our pack " she said. We all looked at each other but stayed quiet." Do you know if the ' Master ' is a warlock as well? " Ben asked eventually." I would assume so since he talks to me in my head " Isabel said." He's dead meat. I know that much " August said getting up. We all got up as well." What are we going to do now? " Alize asked." None of you stands a chance against him. Not even the alpha... " Isabel said frighten." I meant what are we going to do with you Isabel. You have committed treason. plotted against the Luna and the pack house. You have to be punished..." Her voice trailing off. Everyone looked at me." What? "" You have to deal out her punishment. You're the leader of our packed. She made a move against you. You rule out her punishment. " August said. I was still mad at him for yelling at me, so I ignored him. I'm petty so? Sue me. Isabel widens her eyes scared for her life. Then I had a better idea." How about she works out her punishment? " I asked. Everyone looked at me confused." How Do You feel to being a double Mole? " I asked Isabel with a smile.----Zooey POV:We caught the elders up to speed with everything that happened. Surprisingly they agreed to my plans. Which brings us to why me Alize Ben August and Isabel is standing in front of a pair of metal door. Apparently, they have weapons that works well against warlocks. They don't use it because they haven't fought warlocks in decades. We all decided it was best to let the training group use whatever weapons is inside these doors. " So, is there like a magic word that opens the door or are we going to stare at it all day? " I asked." I didn't even know these doors existed till now. So naturally I don't know how to open it. " August said. Well, that's sure useful. Not. Ben went to touch the door. Nothing. He tried to push it open. Nothing. Even banged against it. Zip. Zilch. Nada." Here. Let me try. " Isabel Said. We all doubt she could open the door. We had nothing to lose either way. She closed her eyes and touch the door." When The world falls apart and there's no one left to fear. Do not worry My dear Child The moon goddess Is here. " Isabel chanted. As cute as her little Rhyme was, I don't believe-The Doors open. Holy mother of the moon goddess it opened. We all looked at her with our mouths open." What your parents never Sang that to you when you was a baby? " She asked and stepped inside the doors. We all just shook our heads and walked inside." Now this Is What I'm talking about. " I said with a smile.Now we are in business.-August POV:Next Day~I have to admit. I have a little more faith we will beat the warlocks now that we found protection against them. That and we have Isabel being a spy for us. I wasn't really comfortable with her putting her life at more risk, but she didn't let me talk her out of it not that i could anyway. The elders agreed for her to dish out her punishment this way or be banished. Zooey is showing the recruits how to use the devices. She said she knows how to use them cause her parents gave them to her as toys when she was little. I didn't even want to know anymore. I was just glad she knew how to use them.I know she was still mad at me for yelling and growling at her in the milkshake store. She has to know that I'm just worried about her. They already have they target set on getting rid of her. So as long as she stays in here, she should be fine. I believe I could do that much. I will protect her no matter what. They won't kill another leader of this pack.I watched her trained the recruits. She is really remarkable sometimes." You know she can handle herself. " Isabel said coming into the kitchen." Yeah well, it's my job to protect her " I replied back feeling defensive." No. It's your job to support her. Yes, you are her mate, but you are also her Beta. The beta job is to support the leader and guide the pack in the right direction. Her job is to Protect the pack.... No matter what the cost. " Isabel said. Her words ranged truth, but I wasn't trying to hear it." I don't care. It shouldn't cost her life. I Refuse to lose her. " I said through gritted teeth. The thought of me losing her. It made me angry. " If you keep believing she is incapable of handling herself You will lose her. Have more faith in your Luna Beta. " She hugged me and kiss my cheek. Then Left out the kitchen. Zooey really changed her. The old version of her wouldn't say anything nice about our Luna. I smiled. Zooey is really changing things about this pack. She doesn't even see it either. Everyone can't help but love her.I left the kitchen and went to the office. I had a lot of questions that needed to be answered about Zooey. So, who better to ask the person who gave birth to our Luna? I knocked on the door but still walked in without getting permission to. Brenda looked up and smiled. She always seems happy to see me." Hey Beta. Welcome. What can I do for you.? "" Hey Brenda. I need some questions answered and you're the only who would know those answers. " I said hesitantly. She nodded her head for me to go on." Well. To start with... Do you know why Zooey was giving another chance to find a mate? " I Asked. I was always curious. I mean I can't be that lucky right?" Well, that's because She isn't fully a wolf. So, to speak of course. You see a full wolf is only giving one mate. If that mate dies the moon goddess doesn't give that wolf a second chance at finding another mate. That rule Doesn't apply to Zooey. She is what you call a hybrid. She is half wolf half witch. So, no matter the number of times her mate dies she may always find another. That's only if she doesn't finish the mating process with her mate though. If she does finish it and her mate dies, she can never find love. With anybody. The rule for a hybrid is different. She will be driving insane with loneliness. " Brenda finish. She is okay with this. I shook my head." Okay. Why don't you want your daughter to use the witch side of her powers? "" Well besides the fact that the Witches/warlock society will make her life miserable? The thought of having a werewolf gene mixed in with Magic genes is unheard of. Many tried to mix the two blood fusions, but all has failed. No one knows of Zooey being a hybrid but the elders, Alize and now you. If words get out to the outside world that she is in fact a perfect hybrid... Her life is in danger. So, to answer your question I'm doing it because I'm protecting her. It's the only way I know how. But her powers won't lay dormant for long. I locked her powers deep inside of her. Although lately it's been trying to escape, and I don't know if I can hold it back much longer..." She said with a sadness." You don't think you should just tell Zooey She has these powers. Maybe she can control it. "" It will be too late. I planned on teaching her how to use her powers, but she became a member of this pack. I thought it was better to just keep it inside of her until the Danger has passed. " Dang. It was worse than I thought." Let's say hypothetically her powers lets loose. Then what happens? " I asked already afraid of the answer." Let's Hope it won't ever come to that. " Was all she said. I guess that was all I was getting out of her today. I sighed and got up ready to leave. So, I have to carry this big secret? We all promised no more secret and here her mother is carrying the weight of the world on her shoulders and now mine. I Remembered Something Isabel said." Hey, do you know why other magic Don't work against Zooey.? Isabel said the Dexter guy tried to use magic on her, but it was rendered ineffective. " I Asked." Was it? Hmmm Interesting..." Brenda looked deep in thought, so I figured she didn't know. I turned to leave the room but before I left, I swore I saw a smirk on her face before I left.I opened the door to leave, and I heard running footsteps. Like someone was listening to the conversation. I really hope they wasn't. That would pose a huge problem. I sighed.What am I going to do now? I'm scared for my mate as well as my pack. I know she has a plan.... But she doesn't know the whole story. Should I tell her? I shake my head. No that's probably a bad idea. Her and her mom just got back on good terms. I was about to go back to the training grounds when someone touched my shoulder I turned, and it was just Brenda. Damn she scared me." Yes? " I asked." Somebody is trying to speak to us beyond the barrier. A warlock. He is trying to communicate with The Luna. " She said." Is it safe? " I asked." As long as I'm there. I won't show my face and hide my presence. I will be listening. " Brenda said.I Mind link Zooey. Hey, we have a visitor. And showed her the location to meet.Time to meet the Wizard.-Zooey and I Met up at the middle of the forest. Right towards the end of the barrier. Didn't want to go out of it. Don't need my brain turning to moosh. I looked around and saw nobody there. Zooey was being really quiet for some reason." Hey are you ok? " I asked. She nodded her head. I reached for her hand, but she folded her arms. She can't be still mad..." You don't Seem Ok " I Said clenching my hands into fists." I'm Fine. " She said. What the Hell? Why won't she talk to me.?" Can you tell me what's wrong already! " I Asked." Let's see. You Growled at me this morning for no good reason since I was safe and unharmed on top of doing my duty as a luna and protecting a member of my pack house. Now just two minutes ago I Saw you hug Isabel, and she kissed your cheek, and you smiled and seemed to like it! I'm Done with You playing with my heart like this August" She exclaimed. Really?! It was just on my cheek. Knowing she got jealous over something so little made me smile on the inside, but it hurt my heart thinking she's in pain because of me. I was going to say something to her, but She turned around and her eyes widen." Oh Dexter. How is your Face feeling? " She asked with a smirk. This girl is really scary sometimes. He rolled his eyes and ignored her retort. Smart boy." What A shame was you two having a lover's quarrel? How entertaining unfortunately, The Master wants the girl. I came to collect her." He spoke." You seem to not remember what happen the last time you tried to collect her. Did I hit you that hard? " Zooey asked tilting her head to the side like she is genuinely confused. I snorted. Yeah, she just blowing of steam because she is mad at me." I assure you that will not happen a second time. Now the girl. " He said again. I raised an eyebrow. He sure is persistent." Or Else what? I'm already in a pissed off mood if you couldn't tell. " Zooey said." It's quite simple. I'll just kill you and that little boy toy you got with you Luna. This barrier may be impressive but it's not that hard to figure out its weak spots. Which I will figure out. Let's just make this less hard on yourself. " He said. I growled at him baring my fangs. Did he just threaten my mate?" I have a better idea. How about I go outside this barrier and kick your ass. It would make me feel a whole lot better. Then you can go back to your so-called master and explain how you got your ass kick again. " Zooey Said stepping forward to go outside the barrier but I held her back. She yanked her arm away from me a gave me the death glare. I held me hands up in surrender. I hate to be that guy right now. To be honest being myself isn't a picnic either right now." I did not come here to fight. I just want the girl. I do not wish to kill you, Luna. That is not the master wish. " He said." Just let me go with him. "We turned and saw Isabel coming towards our way. She was looking at me and smiling. I smiled back but saw Zooey glaring, so I looked towards Dexter. Man, I can't even smile at her?" Say bye to your boyfriend and friend and let's go. " Dexter said." EX" Both girls said and looked at Dexter angrily. Why was Isabel mad? Why are girls so moody!! Is it that time of the month?He sighed loudly. Yeah, I know big fella. I know. Isabel kissed me on my cheek again and went to the other side of the barrier. He grabbed her arm and looked at Zooey." I'll see you real soon Princess. " He said and winked at her. I growled at him again, but he disappeared. Damn him. I hope Isabel gives him hell. I started to smirk.Let Operation Double Agent begin.-Zooey POV:We were all in my room setting up. Ben was connecting wires to my tv and laptop. Alize was being fat and getting us snacks. August was setting up all of our headset. We tapped into Isabel magical bracelet before she left. we made sure it wasn't detectable. We could hear everything that's going on in there. It also has a tracking device, so we know where she is. Plus, she has a anti magic necklace that repels Magic that could kill her also non detectable. I wanted to make sure she had some kind of protection before I sent her on this Death mission. I'm not heartless. I made sure all recruits have these anti magical devices. Weather it was a watch, necklace, anklet I made sure it's non-Detectable. They had a lot inside the medal room. They don't however protect them from getting tortured with magic but at least they won't die right?" I have to say you have good acting skills. I thought you was really mad at me. " August said. I just gave him the look. Of course I'm mad at him. I just told him it was because of Isabel that way dexter didn't hear me talking about my mom the witch. I heard August and my mother talking Earlier. I thought he was going to tell me the secret my mother has been keeping but he hasn't told me anything. Which is infuriating because I thought me, and August was just starting to get a grasp of our relationship and already it's a foundation of lies. I just went back to tracking Isabel location." Hey, I'm talking to you " August said.Ignore." Hey! "Ignore.He grabbed my face and made me look at him. I tried to get out his grasp, but he was holding on pretty tightly. I was contemplating on smacking some sense into him until I looked in his eyes. Which was looking at my lips. Then I felt it. The tingly tug in my gut. What is this? He rubs his thumb across my bottom lip slowly. I caught myself gasping lightly. I can't be... No... I'm Turned on? Is this what it felt like? I instinctively licked his finger, and his eyes Dilated. His breathing gotten heavier and so have mine. I licked his thumb again he even closed his eyes and moaned silently. I smiled. I like the affect I had on him. It made me feel powerful. I leaned over and licked his lower lip causing him to Snap his eyes open. I bit my lower lip and looked up at him. Woah. His eyes darkened and pulled me on his lap.He started to kiss my neck, and it was my turn to moan. His touch feels so Good-" It Seems They Forgot we was in the room Bae. " Ben said and I jumped away from August and landed on my butt for moving to fast. Ouch that hurt." It seems they have. What was that going to lead to I wonder... " Alize said smirking down at me eating her snack she got." I don't know probably Some mind blowing you-know-what but it's got me a little hot over here. Hey babe you want to try that on me? " Ben asked Alize teasingly." There's no way I could be that innocent babe. You know how I like to do it " Alize winked at Ben. Okay. Ewe. Gross." Aheeemmmm. Anyway, guys we found her location. " August said while helping me off the floor. I was blushing like crazy, and Ben and Alize were laughing at us.Turns out one of their bases is a Club. A very popular club here in California. It's Funny because it's called Puss N Boots. Whoever made the name is not very original.Well Phase one is complete Phase two is in effect.They Think they going to put fear in our hearts? Ha! I'll always make sure this pack is two steps ahead. Doesn't matter what I am. I know I'm a werewolf at heart. My mother is either wrong or delusional. Either way I'll make sure we stay safe. I turned and saw August staring at me. I blushed and looked away. Oh no. That's how it started the last time." Do We really need to listen.? We know where they are at. We can just raid the club save Isabel. Kill some warlocks/witches and be about our way. " Ben said. Like it was that easy. I rolled my eyes.-That Night.So apparently, we decided to do what Ben said. We are in Puss N Boots. Infiltration completed. I'm in a tight black dress with a knife in one slip in one thigh and a gun in the other thigh. With black, red bottom stilettos. My hair is in loose curls and my eyes have the smokey look while my lips are red. All courtesy of Alize being to over the top. Mean while she is in a night blue dress with matching stilettos. A natural look to her make up and light pink lipstick. Did I mention both our Boyfriends are in Tuxedos? (Omg I just said August was my boyfriend. Okay let me stop being a girl) I couldn't keep my eyes off August for the whole ride here. He knows he look good too. Which irks me because ever since we stepped in this cursed club girls have been looking at him like a five-star meal. Like I'm not next to him.Stay calm Zooey. No need to blow your cover because you can't hold your jealousy. My wolf is agreeing with me but still wants to growl at anyone that even looks at our mate." I told you This Is going to be a piece of cake. " Ben Said. I rolled my eyes again. Maybe." How do we know who is a warlock.? " Alize asked." I can Feel their powers. Don't ask me how I just know. I felt Dexter powers when we saw him. " I shrugged my shoulders. It kind of shows up like a power scale above their heads. So, if a green bar is easy, I wonder what's the red part of the bar. Anyway, Maybe I have A six sense?Or maybe it's the wizard side of you. My wolf commented. I snorted. Yeah right.I Felt the buzzing feeling in my head and I turned around and spotted three Guys. Dexter Being One Of them. His power bar is in the yellow. The other two seemed to be warlocks as well. Upstairs there is roughly six warlocks. And in the girl's bathroom there is three witches. So, fourteen in total." There are 14 warlocks in the club in total. Me and Alize will handle the ones in the bathroom. There are three warlocks including Dexter towards the bar and six upstairs. We don't want to cause a scene and get us notice. So, we will get Dexter and his guys last. You two wait for me and Alize to come back and we will get the six upstairs. " I ordered." You don't think me and August could handle the Six upstairs ourselves.? " Ben ask stupidly might I add." Just do as I say. " I said and rolled my eyes. Guys and their egos.Me and Alize strolled into the girl's bathroom like we needed to powder our noses. I smiled at the idea. We are not human. We don't need to powder our noses. The girls were in the corner talking about God knows what. Then one turned my way." Hey, are you the new one the master has recruited? " She asked. I tilted my head. What is she talking about.?" Yes, she is. She is a newbie " Alize said quickly. I had to smile. She always thinks on her feet." I think the master will like this one. I can feel a lot of power from her. Close to master's power" she said. I don't care what the master like. I wanted to get this over with." I think I rather shove hot rocks down my throat then do anything he says. " I said and smirk. Game time.She looked so confused. Till she saw me getting ready to kick her into the mirror. Realization hit her real quick. Too late now girly. Alize elbowed the other girl in the face and slammed her against the bathroom stall. The third girl realized her magic is not working on us, so she went to make a run for it. Can't have that can we.I grabbed by her hair and yanked her back and twisted her neck. One down. I looked at Alize and she just finish putting a knife in the girl's heart. Two down. We both looked at the girl laying on floor with glass struck into her back. Yeah, that looked painful. If only she wasn't a wizard, I would feel sorry, but her kind killed my father. I won't feel remorse for any of their lives I will take. I put my foot to her chest." Just tell me where your master is, and your death will be quick I promise. " I said with a smirk. To think I was just an innocent nurse a couple of weeks ago. I shake my head. I can't believe I was so oblivious to everything around me." Burn in hell bitch. " She spat at me." Wrong answer " I said and took out my knife and stuck it in her leg. She started to scream but Alize covered her mouth." Now where is he? " I asked again. She shakes her head. I sighed. So be it then. I took the knife and slit her throat." Now you're going to bleed your life away just because you won't answer a simple question. Tsk tsk " I said and tied her to the toilet and gagged her mouth with paper towels.Me and Alize left the bathroom and put an out of order sign on it. If I wasn't so serious I probably would have laughed. We went towards the boys...Except of course they weren't there. These dummies!!I looked around franticly hoping they went to the bar for a drink or to take a tinkle. They weren't in sight, and I was starting to panic." They are fine Luna. There're upstairs. Sitting down. Ben mind linked me. " Alize said. Since when she started calling me Luna? I gave her a raised eyebrow, but she didn't say anything else.I was trying to contemplate how we weren't going to make a scene and kill the six wizards when a light bulb went off. I love it when that happens.Unfortunately, the boys won't like this plan. Ohhhh well.
