Roses with Thorns

Chapter 3

" Watch where you're going midget" Lana screeched in her face, knowing fully well how she hated that name. It was a name only 'the three dumbos' called her.

The three dumbos were . . . well just three dumb bitches who felt the world should fall at their feet, Jessica or Jessie was the Alpha's daughter , she was snobby , spoilt and bitchy, she was 19 and yet to find her mate, but would usually boast to whoever would listen that she is sure that the werewolf prince was her mate, all she has to do is meet him at the biennial royal ball and she would prove her theory, she looked down on pack members and was mean to most of them. Lana was her best friend and dumber than her, she felt that since the current Alpha to be hasn't seen his mate yet, she being his only sister's friend was his best option as Luna, she was lazy, mean and bitchy, she would not lift a finger during training as she felt it was beneath her, the only thing that she has achieved in her 19 years on earth was changing her hair colour, most people in the pack don't even remember the original colour of hair she had. Penny was only their friend because of what she could benefit from being seen with the Alpha's daughter, they in turn needed her for her brilliant ideas since she was the brightest among the three, she was quite friendly when she was alone but when she was with her friends, she went along with their schemes.

" we wouldn't have actually collided if a b***h in heat wasn't so frustrated and actually watched where she was going" Becky retorted, giving her a disinterested look, and suddenly taking interest in her perfectly manicured nails.

"How dare you" Lana screeched, attracting attention to them, "What makes you think you can talk to me that way?" Towering over her and pointing a crooked finger at her.

"Screwing the next Alpha doesn't suddenly make you an important member of the pack, the sooner you get that into your thick skull the better for all of us" Becky shouted, rolling her eyes. " Stop behaving as if you own the world when in actual fact, you are a nobody."

Lana lost her temper and raised her hand to strike Becky, "how dare you" but she was stopped by Carla, Becky's friend and one of the best female warriors.

"I wouldn't do that if I were you" she said in a low growl.

"Show's over, get back to your duties". Carla added in an authoritative voice and the little crowd that had gathered dispersed.

She turned to Lana and said " Go get yourself cleaned up, you stink like a w***e house" wrinkling her nose, she made gestures for her to leave.

Lana gasped looking flustered but left without saying a word, squinting her eyes at both of them.

The two friends giggled at her retreating back before heading towards Becky's room.

Licia, Becky and Carla were friends since grade 1, they always had each other's back. Carla was 5'7 18 year old with a beautiful reddish brown hair, lovely sea green eyes, cupid bow lips, an oval shaped face and a body to die for, she wasn't as busty as Becky, but she had everything in the right proportion, but if you let her looks deceive you, you'll get your ass handed down to you when you face her in a combat. she was mated to Mich, Jayden's chosen Gama.

They were so much in love and their relationship was the envy of their friends.

They got to Becky's room and Carla sat on the love seat at the corner, while Becky sat on the bed.

"did you talk to her?" Carla asked nervously.

"You know how she avoids the topic, there's no way I . . ."

"I know, I just don't want her to hate me" Carla said wringing her hands.

Becky has never seen her friend this worried so she moved closer to her and held her hands

"You know our Licia is not like that, she does not have a mean bone in her body, she is not vindictive, she can't even hate Mich, talk more of you. She knows it's not your faults, Jayden is just being a spoilt brat".

"I know, but I can't help but feel that Jayden has an ulterior motive" Carla shuddered.

"what do you mean?" Becky asked, squeezing her eyebrows together.

" I don't know" she shrugs, "I just noticed the way he stares at her of recent, as if he wants something from her, you know."

" he stares at anything that has boobs, it's ridiculous." Becky replies, rolling her eyes.

" I know, just that the way he stares at Licia is more . . . intense, if you get my meaning."

" he may stare all he wants, but the Moon goddess would not tie our friend to such an ass, besides, am rooting for her to end up with my brother, that will make her my sister indeed" She said the last part with half a smile and dreamy eyes.

" I don't want to burst your bubble, but keep an open mind" Carla told her and Becky had a sense of deja Vu, that was the exact same thing she had told Licia, it has never crossed her mind that her bast friend and brother may not actually be mates, but she has to take her own advice and keep an open mind.

" We all have to" Becky shrugged and changed the topic. "how come you're here and not somewhere shoving your tongue down our poor Gama to be's throat? "

Carla blushed slightly "I came to save a certain maiden in distress" she said tilting her eyebrow at her.

Becky barked a laugh " You know I can hold my own against that b***h right?"

" I know, but you still have to be careful around her, she's becoming more desperate at you know? She wants to be Luna by all means and feels attacked at any little challenge".

"She can only become Luna in her dreams" Becky sneered, flaring her nose, her back hair bristling, showing that her wolf did not like Lana also.

"Everybody knows that, but she doesn't, so just avoid her please, I wouldn't want anything to happen to you."

It's not a hidden fact that the dumbos would do anything to get back anyone they feel is against them, including setting them up.

Becky stared at her friend silently for a few seconds "I can't promise anything, but I'll try".

"thank you, that's good enough" Carla breathed a sigh of relief," at least I don't have to worry about you all the time" she gave her friend a small smile, hugging her sidewards.

"come on, it's not that serious, and besides, she can't really do anything to me as I'm still the beta's daughter". she told her friend.

" let's go down for dinner, we can catch up with our girl afterwards and spend some time together".

They left the room together holding hands and giggling when they remembered the mortified look on Lana's face when Carla had told her off, making their way downstairs, they heard a scream . . .

What is it today?
