《The Tracking ✔》Chapter 38- The Meeting
Advertisement
Ian Somerhalder and Nikki Reed as Alpha Bellamy and Luna Kelly. Aren't they cute?
After a little time away from Theo I couldn't take it much longer. I was hoping to teach him a lesson, but I ended up teaching myself one instead.
The argument we had wasn't something that was unforgivable. In relationships, you have to be willing to forgive. I thought that Theo was perfect, but he's far from it actually. He has his imperfections just like I do. He won't always say the right things and he will definitely tick me off every now and then.
That's life. That's relationships, and I was naive to think that Theo would be the perfect mate. We are made for each other, but that doesn't excuse the flaws and faults. We are both imperfect, I don't even know if I would go as far as saying we are perfect for each other. We are just meant to be together, grow together, and become greater together.
I do love him, even though I didn't want to be quick to admit it. I didn't want to admit it because it awakened a side of me that knew that after I said those words, I wouldn't be able to bring myself to leave at all. Although I did get upset with him for calling me a flight risk, I knew he was almost right.
I still had a part of me that wanted to leave, but deep down I knew I couldn't ever do it. I have come to admire and love this pack. I've fallen in love with my mate. I've fallen in love with everything about him. Just like I was always afraid of.
"So Bellamy will probably want you to show off your skills." Theo says after we left the utility closet after have some of the best sex ever.
The thought of "showing of my skills" seems unflattering and annoying to me. I need to save up my energy. Why should I waste some of it just to show this Alpha that I am who I say I am? Sounds about downright stupid to me.
But from Theo's standpoint on the topic is that it is very important that we get this pack to join us. So I will try my best to convince this Alpha and the Luna that we are worth helping.
Theo places his hand on my lower back as he guides me through the door to the private meeting room. A dark haired man and blonde headed woman sit in a chair, looking at me up and down in sync.
The Luna slightly tenses up and the Alpha studies me. "Alpha Bellamy." I bow in respect, and turn to the Luna who oddly reminds me of Luna Bethany back at my home pack. I have to cringe to bow and address her.
In the back of my mind I have a thought of why it is that we are bowing but they aren't to us? They are on our pack grounds, where's the respect for us?

We got to kiss their ass a little. Just suck it up, you're distracting me. Theo says out of the blue to me. I almost laugh out loud because I didn't realize he was listening in on my inner thoughts.
I straighten my posture and step back toward my mate, we sit in the seats on opposite side of them. "Luna JC, we have heard so much about you." The Luna greets me first. I slightly smile and prepare myself for the random questions, remarks, and eventually show and tell.
I didn't really know how to reply to her, so that's when Alpha Bellamy jumps in. His deep voice almost makes it feel like the ground is rumbling beneath my feet. "How many rogues would you say you've killed, but physical contact?"
I let out a small breath, and think of the number in my head. "Five." I have killed five rogues by physical contact, not special abilities.
"And how many with these abilities?" He asks, growing very interested.
"Six Hundred and Twenty-Three." I reply the number right away because each kill seems to be engraved in my memory. The Luna mumbles a prayer under her breath. Yes, an actual prayer that I guess you thought I couldn't hear.
The Alpha leans forward however, wanting to know more. "You don't want to fight in your wolf form?" The way he asked was as if was insinuating that it was unnatural for me to kill rogues as hybrid.
"If she fights, they can take her. Which wouldn't be good for anyone Alpha Bellamy." Theo cuts in harshly. The question made him mad, probably more than me.
Theo knew what Bellamy was insinuating, that I should fight physically like everyone else. But I can't kill as many like that. Sure I'm very powerful as a wolf, but I can't kill a rogue without touching them in wolf form.
"I'm just saying. Is your wolf even in there anymore?" He asks me, raising his brows. He tries lightening the mood with a little joke. Kelly laughs, but Theo and I just stare at him.
Oh she's here alright. I do need to turn and give her some exercise so she doesn't get lost in my mind, but I can't even leave the pack house. She would just have to run laps around the room.
"She's still here." I reply, pressing my lips together in a fine line.
"Let's see her. We need to be sure we aren't helping someone who's one-hundred percent witch." Luna Kelly says, asking me to defy them.
I glance at Theo and get up from the chair. "We will be back." Theo says and follows me out the door and back to the bedroom.
"I don't like them." I say as I strip of my clothes one by one. Theo leans against the door, "I don't either, but they have the numbers. We need them."
He is right and unfortunately I will have to kiss their ass a little to get them to help us. I can pretend to be able to handle these rogues by ourselves. We do need the help.

I shift into my wolf and stretches. Theo opens the door for me. I'm pretty big, so the narrow doorway is a little hard to squeeze through.
I let out a small growl of annoyance and continue to walk back where the Kelly and Bellamy are to prove to him that she is still alive in me. What a stupid thing to have someone do.
I enter the room and walk up to them. I sit down and move my head to the side like saying, I told you so.
After that, I went back and changed into my clothes again and walked back to the room to finish our heat-growing discussion.
"You are very big for a she-wolf." Bellamy says, and I nod. I already know this.
"So the rogues get you, then what?" Bellamy asks, and I have to stop myself from rolling my eyes.
"They take my blood and have a witch help them become immortal and powerful werewolves." Like, come on? Is that not common sense?
"If they do get you, how do we kill them?" He asks, confused. The mission is to not let them get to me, but okay.
"You would have to kill me. Silver knife to the heart." I bluntly put it. Theo shakes his leg slight. I hear one of this thoughts, which is - She won't die. They won't get to her.
My heart breaks hearing that.
"So you're immortal, the only thing that can kill you is a silver knife, and if the rogues get you then they can become ?"
"Spellbound Lycans." Theo cuts in with the specific term, Kelsia must have told him. Bellamy nods in understanding and Kelly looks at me again.
"So since you are immortal, someone will have to protect you for the rest of time? Why don't you just sacrifice yourself so you are not endangering so many others lives?" She asks accusingly. I am blown away at her lack for compassion by saying that to e.
She does make a point, I've thought of that. If I would have committed suicide when I was on the run I would have taken care of a much bigger problem that I didn't even know existed.
Wow.
"That will never happen." Theo says sternly to Luna Kelly. She gives him a hateful look then turns back to me.
"So you live forever? Everyone else around you will die JC. You'll have to watch it all unfold before your eyes. You want that?" She asks with sarcastic pity, but I knew why she's actually saying this.
She doesn't want to fight and send any of her men into battle for me. She would just rather I kill myself. I can't say I totally disagree with her, but like I said. I can't leave Theo.
The three words were spoken and they are true.
"I'm going to become one." Theo says hesitantly, but eventually blurts out. Kelly and Bellamy's attention transfers from me to my mate, in curiosity.
"Become a what?" Bellamy asks, clueless. He seems to look like he is growing bored of the conversation, and just wants to leave.
"A Spellbound Lycan." He replies and grabs my hand to hold. I squeeze it, giving him a small reassuring smile.
"You want to become the thing the rogues are trying so hard to be? Don't you think that could be dangerous. If anyone kills JC you would die along with her."
"If she does period, I die too. I thought you would understand that Bellamy. If Luna Kelly died wouldn't you want to go with her?" Theo says back to Bellamy with hatefulness.
Losing a mate can be as close to death as you can come without actually dying. The reality of that terrified me when I found out I am immortal, but Theo doesn't want me to go through that. I couldn't bear to go though that. Why only have fifty years together when we can have forever?
"You're right. Actually, she and I will lose each other at some point." Bellamy and Kelly look at each other communicating through their mind link, then look back at us.
"We want in then. We want to become these Spellbound Lycans too." Bellamy says, almost like he's giving us an ultimatum.
I shake my head immediately no. "Theo is the only one who gets to join me on this."
"Then you are not in a desperate need of our help then." Kelly says, pursing her lips and uncrossing her legs as if she was about to get up and leave.
"We do need your help." Theo and I both say at once. Kelly raises her eyebrows and relaxes back in her seat. We defiantly look desperate now.
"Then help us and we will help you. Make us strong and immortal. We can help you when we have that." Bellamy asks, and I look at Theo.
This is something that will need to be discussed in private.
"We will have to talk about it." I say strictly, my face unwavering.
"Either way the answer will be yes." Bellamy says confidently, with a slight grin.
Theo let's out a loud disruptive growl, "How's that?"
"You can't be the most powerful Alpha around." Bellamy states with envy. "You need me to stand beside you against the council. They will not like us being Spellbound Alpha Lycans, but standing together makes us even stronger against them."
I had completely forgot about the council. I think I thought of it once but immediately dismissed the idea because I knew it was a risk to talk. I don't want to risk being taken from my family or Theo. Most of all, I don't want to be executed in front of them either.
With the rogues, the council and now the possibility of more people wanting in on becoming Spellbound Lycan, I can only see things spiraling out of control.

(warning, I do not know how to write properly. This is just something i decided to do because reading is fun) When you die and get the chance to be sent to another world with magic and blade.

For anyone unfortunate enough to be born outside of these paradises, they can undergo the Gilding Trials. A dangerous competition that can earn the winners a better life. Amber had always considered this a scam at worst, or a pipe dream at best. Fully believing that there would be no way the elite in the city of Aurum would let outsiders join. Despite her worries, her wife’s fatal injuries reveal a grim reality: there is only one place for her to get the care she needs. Aurum. And the only way to get in is to sign up for the Gilding Trials.
8 203The Crisis on Planet 9
Welcome to the dream colony Planet 9, where the streets are stained by blood and the buildings are filled with human remains. The creatures roaming among the abandoned cars and flying vehicles resemble almost to perfection the mindless cannibalistic zombies born from the fictional nightmares of mankind. The cities were built in the retro style of the 21st century, but the technology of the 24th century is ever present, mostly within the bodies of those mortally challenged monstrosities. After all, what turned them into these things was not an evolved organic virus, an alien disease, or some sort of magical artifact, it was the corrupted and reprogrammed nanobots within their bodies. Originally, they were meant to heal them and help them access the tech around them, but now they were the origin of this disaster. Among the rotting dead and the Nano-Z, as the survivors called them, Kardian Pandora awakens two months after getting bit by one of them. A young teacher at the local Resonance High, foolish and naive in his own way, but now driven by the Sapient AI in the nanobots inside his body to hunt down other Nano-Z and learn how to survive. For now, his only goal is to become strong enough and rejoin his students and fellow colleagues, foolishly hoping to somehow be able to get back to the time when the undead did not rule the streets. Will Kardian be able to survive in this new savage world or will his naive outlook lead him to a dead end? Volume 1 can be bought on Amazon: Resonance High
