Antonia's POV
"So he is hosting a party for himself"I said looking out of the window from the vampire king's office.
George and Gretchen had called me saying that they had got some news from their spy.He found out that Rodrigo was hosting a party and invited all the powerful Alphas around the area.
The nerve of him to enjoy the luxury that he didn't work for.
The luxury that was filled with lots and lots of blood he poured in order sit in that office.I was going to make him pay.He would surely pay for every blood that he spilled and he would loose that seat.
George's spy also informed us that he was torturing and treating the pack members poorly and he commanded respect.
"I have to attend by all means" I added.I needed to see what was going on with my own eyes.
"You can't dear, you will be risking your life.This is not the right time to reveal yourself.He needs to keep believing that you are dead"Gretchen advised.
"I don't know how I'm going to do it but I need be there at that party.I need to study their every move"I said
"That is the information we have at the moment, once Ramon gives me new updates, I will make sure you know"George told me.
"Thank you for everything you are doing, both of you.I really appreciate it"I told Gretchen and her husband.
"You are family now since you are part vampire.It is our duty to help our people out"George said
"And still thanks to you, I am family"I replied smiling at them but deep down I felt like I could explode any minute.'How dare he, every second he stayed in that seat reminded me of his betrayal and I couldn't to see him suffer'.
I left George's office and headed to the gym, I badly needed to workout and let out some of the frustrations I had.
I tied my hair into a ponytail, took off my hoodie and I was left in a sports bra and leggings.I hit and kicked the punching bag as I yelled but didn't help me calm down, after all it was just a non living thing that didn't even feel pain instead it was I who sweated and my knuckles started to turn red but I didn't stop.
"I know what will make you feel better"I heard Phil say.When did he come to the gym because I didn't hear him.
"How long have you been here?"I asked him
"I saw you enter but you were too annoyed to recognize me"Phil simply replied and I nodded in understanding.
"What do you think will make me feel better?"I asked
"Hitting a person, a punching bag does not feel anything whereas a person does or you can talk to someone.It helps"He advised
"I have talked to people and it worked multiple times but today, talking hasn't helped take my frustrations away not even this punching bag so I will go with hitting a person if they don't mind, I will gladly hit them"I told him and I saw him walking towards me and he stopped when he was in front of me.
"What are you doing?"I asked confused
"I am here, hit me all you want"He said
"Are you sure"I asked for confirmation
"Do I look like I'm joking?"He asked
"Okay but don't go to George crying when I break your ribs and nose"I warned him.
"Deal"He replied
With all the strength I could master, I punched Phil on his rock hard abs and he groaned in pain.
"I doubt that hurts, you have just tightened your belly, it didn't hurt"I replied and I was starting to feel better.
"It does hurt, I wasn't expecting it to hurt this much.In fact I am having second thoughts"He replied
"No, you are no backing out, you offered yourself to me and changing your mind wasn't part of the deal"I said
"Deal, did we make a deal?"He asked and as soon as the words left his mouth, he received a punch on his nose.
"Ouch"He groaned making me giggle.He would think twice next time before offering himself as a punching bag.
"It's not funny you know"He said
"It is funny and I think it's working, I am starting to feel some lightness in my chest which had been so heavy minutes back.I think of I hit you one more time, I will be fine"I replied
"Alright just one more time, one more time"He said more to himself in a whisperas if preparing himself for the last punch but I could hear him just fine.
I moved three steps back and hit him with the round kick in the stomach that made him fall down hitting his ass hard down on the floor.
"Whew, I feel much better now"I said walking to the fridge in the gym and got myself a bottle of drinking water.
But this time George did not groan or say anything, I turned around and looked at his body lying on the ground with no signs of movement.
"Phil?"I called but there was no reply
"Phil"I called for the second time and there was no reply
The third time, it was still nothing.I started to panic.'what had I done?'
I quickly walked towards him and realised that wasn't moving, I brought my forefinger towards his nose to see if he was breathing and that's when he grabbed mr by my hands swung me in the air and I fell on my back and ass.
"What the fuck"I cursed and it was his turn to laugh.
"That was a lesson, be careful your opponent might just act dead only to trap you when you come to check on them"He said
"You could have just said that with your mouth, now I think you just broke my back"I whined forgetting the fact that I had punched and kicked him.
He got up and offered his hand again for me to take and helped me get up.We then went and sat at the nearby bench.
"So what had got you so mad the time you got in here? I was thinking that I am the only one who gets on your nerves around here"Phil askedI rolled my eyes at his last statement.
"Did they ever tell why I ended up here?"I asked
"They told me that they found you half dead on the no man's land"He replied.I guess I had to rephrase te question.
"True but did you ever as them why I was stuck here, why I wouldn't go back to my pack?"I asked
"I think I asked the question to myself but did not get am answer"He replied and I laughed at his answer.
"Asking yourself was a stupid idea.Don't you think?"I asked
"I realised that it was but I decided not to ask my brother and sister in law.I decided to let things be"He replied
"Well, the reason why I didn't go back home was because man that killed my mom, dad and people had won and everything was in his control.I was in a weak state and I couldn't do anything instead he was going to kill me for the second time"I explained
"Okay.So what has this guy got to do with what you have been going through a while back"Phil asked
"He is hosting a ceremony, his welcoming ceremony.He has welcomed Alphas around the area so that he could officially introduce himself to them as the Alpha of Campstone pack.He has no shame, he is not even fazed by what he did and he is torturing my people"I said
"Are the neighboring Alphas not aware of what he did?"Phil asked
"They were aware but he has the packs light crystal.It can do anything, he must have used it to distract them from the matter"I replied
"Now what are you planning to do?"He asked
"I want to go back and attack him make him pay for his deeds, get what is mine, and find my parents from where he took them and give them a burial that suits them"I replied
"Where did he put your parents?"Phil asked
"He asked his men to take them to this one place where they put dead bodies of wolves and other creatures that happen to have been a problem to the creatures they lived among before they die.The place has magic and once the bodies are thrown there, it hard to get them from there"I explained as tears started pricking my eyes at Rodrigo's evil act.
"There is this one powerful witch I know.You can ask her and see if she can help but I think that will be done after you finisg taking down that Rodrigo guy because then you will freely be able to bury your parents at your pack where they deserve"Phil said.
"Thanks"I said
"For what? I did nothing"Phil said
"For letting me kick your ass, for listening to me and for offering the advice"I told him.
"I just did what felt right at the moment"He replied
"Hey, I almost forgot.Did the information on the flash confirm your brother's suspicion?"I asked
"Yes, Draco has been doing all sorts of crimes and he is going to be dealt with anytime and that reminds me, I had to check on my brother to see what he needs me to do"He said getting up.
"Thanks again"I yelled as he walked out of the gym.
I them picked up my hoodie and left the gym.After taking my staff to my bedroom, I went to look for Gretchen I found her in her daughter's bedroom as she watched her sleeping peacefully.
I informed Gretchen that I would be shifting so that she informs the vampires.If they were not informed and they happened to see a wolf or lycan running around the kingdom, they might think that I am an enemy and decide to kill me or I would kill some of them when I'm trying to protect myself which wouldn't be so nice.
"George, Phil and other high ranking vampires are in a meeting, I'm here bored but I would love to see a wolf, lycan or whatever it is that you are shift"She said making me laugh
"Okay then let's go"I told her and we stood up to leave.
"Me too mummy, I would like to see her shift"Jess said
"You have been awake all the time"Gretchen asked her daughter.
"No, I thought I was dreaming when I heard you ask.Please take me with you"She begged pouting her lips and putting on the most innocent look ever.
"Okay let's go"Gretchen gave in to her and said
"Yay"She cheered and got mourn of bed.We then walked out of the house and walked away from the house but it wasn't so far away.
Erica had been itching to shift since we woke up but I hadn't let her out and shifting and running around would always calm us down.
"Are you ready?"I asked Gretchen and Jessica.Gretch then tried to cover Jessica's eyes so that I could shift.I laughed and shook my head at her it's not like were wolf bodies get exposed when the shift from human to wolf forms and I was a lycan even of I was to shift back, my clothes would remain intact.
"Let her be.I am a Lycan and out clothes remain intact, I will shift back in my clothes"I told her.
"How cool?"Gretch said
I shifted to my lycan wolf and I saw Jess's mouth form an I in amusement.
"Wow, she is beautiful.Right mummy?"She commented
"That she is princess"Her mummy replied
I then walked towards them.
"Can I touch her mummy"I heard her ask
"Of course you can"
