Before the Tribrid

Part 5- Jane

"Don't even think about that sentence! You need to shut the f**k up and fight!! So, shift your lazy ass into your wolf!!! So, you can fight like the man you THINK you are!!!!" I heard Kent yell. "May the best man win!" Kent continued. Then I heard nothing but silence. It must've gotten quiet because they were shifting and fighting; that gave me the incentive to think, but I needed to think very fast! As I began to pace back and forth while contemplating on what to do next. 'What am I going to do now? I can't let them fight to the death over me. My father started this fight with the whole arranged marriage bit. So, since he's dead. I will be the one to end this fight with the death of Percy!' Then it clicked or at least it started too.

"Hello, Jane!" I froze. Then I looked all around at all of the bodies on the floor around me. "Who's there?" I whispered. I waited and waited for several moments, seeing if I could get a response. But, it was nothing but quiet. So, I begin to look and see if someone was still alive, I had thought everybody here was dead but things could have changed. Maybe someone was still alive and had spoken quietly where I couldn't hear them. But, at last, there was not a single body alive, I had thought everybody here was dead, but things could have changed. Maybe someone was still alive and had spoken quietly where I couldn't hear them. But, at last, there was not a single body alive. I must've been hearing things. I just stood there probably looking really dumb. After thinking and most definitely looking dumb, I had come up with the conclusion that I am hearing things. "No, silly! You are not hearing things! Let's try this again, shall we? Hello, Jane. My name is Athena and I am your inner wolf. You are probably wondering why I am coming into your life too late, am I right?" she pauses, just long enough for me to mumble a yes. "I am sorry that I am coming later than any other wolf. I would've come sooner if it was up to me, but the Moon Goddess said no. She also said that you were very special. None the less, I am here now and I am here to help you when you need it."

"Ok. Is there a point as to why you just decided to show up now?" I asked my wolf, the b***h. I was getting impatient.

"Yes, there is a point! That was very rude of you and you need to use your manners with me or I will ignore you. Jeez, I guess we could get to work right away. Anyways, I understand that our mate is outside those doors fighting for his life and your freedom. I know this because I have been in touch with Adolph, Kent's wolf. We need to go help him. He may die without our help! Are you willing to let him die for us? Do you want a sad and lonely life, without your mate? Don't answer those questions, they were stupid questions that I already know the answers too. So now, we are going to be useful and helpful. So, chop-chop, young lady, let's go! Time is of the essence!" Athena barked her words and orders. She just showed up here and now she thinks she is the boss of me. 'b***h!' I thought about her. 

"Yep, you are one too! Now, we need to move and go help our mate! I will let you know when you need to shift and how to do that if need be." Athena spoke up after she hears my thoughts about her. She's a sassy and feisty wolf. I think she's a perfect wolf for me.

"How did you know what I thought?" I asked Athena, trying to play dumb, but she kept quiet after that. Surprise, surprise! I guess that means the fun's over and the work is about to begin. I began to gather the remainder of my thoughts and walked through the castle doors to go outside. Apparently, I chose a good time to come outside because  Kent was knocked out, almost dead in Percy's wolf's jaws. I wanted to scream, but I thought against it. Instead of screaming, I waited until Percy's wolf throws Kent's limp body twenty feet away. Once I see Kent land, I make quick work of making myself run and before I knew it, I was standing in-between Kent and Percy.

"Awww! Isn't this sweet? You decide to come outside and join the fight. Only to watch your beloved and precious mate die! But, now are you going to fight? You don't have your wolf yet. Or do you?" Percy asked in a mocking tone.

"Don't you worry about me! Worry about yourself and worry about saving your own ass! In a few moments when I am done talking, I will say 'shift!' You better shift if you know what is best for you and then bring on the best fight of your life!" I yell at him.

"What? Who am I going to fight?? Because your 'mate' is already almost dead and that's your fault! You made your bed and now you must lie in it!" Percy laughed.

"You are going to fighting ME! While you were trash-talking my mate and me, my wolf showed up, and let me tell you, she's not very happy! She's furious and ready to come out for some blood!! Now, quit being a little bitchy she-wolf and fight like the Alpha you claim to be!!!" I say, very infuriated.

"You've got to be joking! I am NOT going to be fighting you!! You're a woman, a she-wolf, and you should do what a woman does best and leave the fighting to us, the men!!!" Percy continues on while being sexist; that was the last straw.

"SHIFT, you asshole! I am your QUEEN and you MUST OBEY my orders!! So, I order you to SHIFT!!!" I say in my Luna command voice through my clenched teeth. I have had enough of his arrogant ass. This has got to end and it has to end NOW!

"Fine, your 'highness!' I must say that I like your bravery, but it's very dumb of you and will get you and your 'mate' killed! When we fight, I promise to go easy on you!" Percy says as he puts extra emphasis on 'highness' and 'mate.' Then he begins to walk away. I let him think that he has won, but really he hasn't gotten even close to winning! Percy was about fifty feet away from the castle doors and that was when I begin running towards him.

"Shift, Jane! Envision your wolf form! What you think you will look like as a wolf." Athena coaches me. I then closed my eyes and thought of a wolf. Then I start to feel pain from the bones breaking and forming into my wolf's bones. I begin to grow fur as well. About ten minutes later, I was a wolf. I was Athena and Athena was me. I decided to run after Percy. He was almost in the castle when he saw me. I caught him off guard, which was good and made things easy and go smoothly. I looked in his eyes and I could see the fear that was bestowed behind them. He knew he wasn't getting out of this, alive!

"You need to SHIFT! SHIFT now!" Athena commands in her Luna command voice. He still didn't answer. So, I began to scratch and tear at him. Sooner or later, Percy begins to bleed out and lose his limbs. He screamed a lot, but after fifteen minutes, there was nothing but silence. You could nothing, not even a pin drop. It was peaceful. I embraced the silence. I was grateful for it. Once his limbs were torn off and all that was left was his head and torso. While he was bleeding out, a crowd was beginning to form, it was mostly Percy's pack and some of Kent's pack. I look out and spoke loud enough for everyone to hear.

"This is what happens when you don't listen to your Queen and disregards her orders! I don't care that I am a woman when I say 'fight!' You better damn well fight your ass off. No ifs, and, or buts about it!" I pause for a moment to catch a breath. "For those of you that were part of this bastard's pack," I pause again to point to Percy's body or what is left of it. "I suggest that you go home and only can come back if it's necessary. No social calls or unannounced calls either. Take this body and let him bleed out the rest of the way until he is dead! Don't let him get revived. If he gets revived, I will know about it! Then I will come after him to finish out the job knowing he's dead and no revivable, then go after whoever helped him get revived!! Find his son and adopt him out or whatever you guys do think is best for your future Alpha male!! When his son becomes of age, bring him and your pack's higher ranks to me. Then we will talk and have a very different conversation. Also, take his limbs and get the f**k out of my face and sight! I don't wish bad upon you guys as a whole pack, but you guys might want to pray to the Moon Goddess and be grateful I only killed your Alpha!! Now, scram and go away as fast as you can!!!" I walk towards the spot where Kent lays. Athena was sad. "Jane, to shift back, you need to envision yourself as a human," Athena said, giving me the ok to shift back. I could tell that Athena was sad because her cries and howls for our mate were very loud!
