HATE FOR MATES AND WEREWOLVES

CHAPTER 6

FLASHBACK 2

"Hello". My loud response at the time informed me of my slightly raspy throat. I quickly drank a glass of water, one I always place close by for my comfort.

"What did you find out Alexra" I spoke gently reducing my tone ever aware of how I had brought this raspy throat on myself yesterday after I had a party with my babies to relieve myself of the sadness.

"Kira, it'll be better for you to come to the office, otherwise you might not believe me".

I sighed, I was tired at the time but I forced myself up, showered, dressed, ate, fed my babies. My outfit choice was a jumpsuit of mixed shades of brown with decorations buttons. I picked up my car key and waved goodbye to my babies not knowing at the time that I'd be unable to see them for a while, if I had known I wouldn't have left them, but I can only use the if questions it wouldn't change anything.

I drove my black car, grabbed a coffee then eventually reached the office with my raspy throat feeling a bit better.

"Alexra, What did you find?"

"So, umm, I still don't fully believe it but Camella and Diego are the moles"

"Camella". At the time, I was shocked, it's always been the innocent looking ones, then again I also have an innocent face, we can't exactly help the face we're born with.

"Proof". I couldn't just jump into conclusion, that was a last attempt to give her the benefit of doubt that our time together earned her.

"Watch this". She pulled the system close to me, I sat down quickly and saw Camilla enter a meeting room, one that looked oddly familiar. An old balding man with a friendly face shook her hand, it was clearly Mr Jones, the client I was supposed to have a meeting with yesterday. She exchanged pleasantries and informed him she was here to deliver a document on Black Corp's textile industry. He looked at her mirroring my own confusion as well, the document was not necessary, he was already given the necessary data at our early stage of negotiations.

She smiled awkwardly then bowed her head out of embarrassment, she informed him that I usually side lined her because of how slow she was to pick up on things and she wanted to change that. She said she felt that if he read the document, he'll not be hesitant to sign and it'll reduce my work load. He assured her and eventually asked her to give him the file, she said it's on a flash drive, she plugged it to his laptop, and quickly decided to take her leave since it was already time for my meeting with him. He told his assistant to escort her out, but before they could fully exit the meeting room his system went blank, Mr Jones quickly called them back. Camella received a message and then apologised to Mr Jones on my behalf that I had a personal emergency and offered to give him a fruit basket on my behalf. Mr Jones, kind as ever refused her offer and told her to inform me to reschedule at earliest and she then exited the room.

I was shocked, going there was not hard as it's just a few blocks away from the company headquarters, but why would she betray me? I simply sighed at the time wondering why this always happens. If I didn't even want to have trust issues, people like this always remind me that this world isn't a bed of roses but one of thorns, waiting at each moment for a perfect chance to pierce you, I knew I wasn't going to allow that to happen.

"How did you find this out?". I was genius in shock at the time.

"I called Mr Jones yesterday to apologise and to reschedule the meeting. I offered him a fruit basket when he said why do the assistants of Miss Kira keep offering him fruit baskets and that Camella already explained you had personal issues, I asked him for the video footage and he willingly gave me without question".

"Where is she?". I spoke with anger radiating in waves off me but my voice didn't come out as smoothly as I would have wanted because of my raspy throat.

"She is on her way, Kira, you didn't ask who Diego is?".

"Who is he?".

"He is a werewolf, one that I just found out a few days ago that he and Camella are a couple".

"Did she betray me because of him?".

"Yes, he resigned yesterday, I found it too coincidental and then asked around and it turns out Camella told some of the employees that he's her fated partner".

"Fated partner as in mate". The day before, I had successfully fully stopped the dam from breaking but at that moment, it broke, it shattered entirely. I cried like a new born child desperate for attention. It hit too close to home, too close to my trauma, too close to my pain, never again. Alexra pulled me into a hug, one most appreciated. While I was struggling to keep my tears at bay, Hazel walked in through the door and relief washed over me, I literally ran like a child into her arms.

"Okayy, who do I need to kill?".

Those words, her voice, was much more calming than any medication I had being forced to take.

"No one, I'm just so glad you're here".

Alexra exited the room to give us privacy. Hazel and I sat down and I briefed her on the whole issue and she was just as enraged as I was. She also told me the reason she couldn't be reached was because of a mission she was carrying out for her coven. Every witch belongs to one like how werewolves have packs.

While, I was calming my emotions, I had no idea a storm was brewing in my house until I received a call from my neighbour that there were people in my home making loud noises, she clearly called me out of worry because she had seen me leave the building earlier. I thanked her and ended the call

I grabbed a wipe from the table used it on my face then took out the dial to remove the restrictions on the khaz core-a device that helps control my power. I asked Hazel to come with me but she refused, she only checked if I adjusted it correctly and told me she still had her missions to do. I sighed, hugged her and quickly left worried for my babies.

I reached my apartment to find my door ajar, my properties smashed, everything was in tatters on the ground, the only thing that was intact was my couch, there was no sign of my babies just two idiots sitting on my couch watching my TV like they owned the place. How dare they?!.

Present Time

"Who are you, what do you want and why did you do this?".

I watch the man and woman wondering if they look familiar but no they didn't.

"My name is Damian and I am Stella". They both say simultaneously like that was supposed to solve the big puzzle on why my apartment was wrecked and why they were sitting on my couch like they own the place.

"What do you want, why did you do this? I will not ask you again, this is your final warning". They both laugh it up like I was a comedian telling a joke then the lady's face turned dark as she glared at me.

"You are a monster, where are those cubs, how could you be so beautiful and yet so evil". She says stalking up to me discretely hiding the silver blade in her hand, it was covered in wolfsbane, how clever but it won't work on me. Just who are these people, what cubs could they possibly be referring to.

"Listen, clearly you've made a mistake I have no idea what cubs you're talking about, I'll calculate the total price of everything and you'll pay, quietly leave and I'll forget this ever happened".

The guy on the couch laughed again only this time it was louder and clearly full of mockery and disdain. I just sigh and head to my kitchen to get a glass of water, my raspy throat felt worse than before, it was clearly not stable at all and it's my fault though.

The lady clearly thinking I had my guard down charged at me with her blade aiming to harm me, I merely moved out of the way leading to her fall on the floor, she quickly regained her footing and tried to kick me, i grab my glass of water thankful my kitchen is not damaged. I hold my glass of water in one hand and then her leg in the other hand. She kept trying to free herself by raising the other leg up mid air but she couldn't do it without almost falling over, it was funny to watch i couldn't help but laugh.

The lady, clearly angry because of my laughter throws the silver blade at me, it grazed me a bit but then hit a portrait of my babies and I totally smashing to pieces. This makes me angry so I pull.her up in the air like a balloon and use her body like a bat to hit a few things before throwing her through the wall of my bedroom to hit the men they came with who were clearly hiding in one the rooms.

They all came out to attack me while that guy sat down on my couch and just simply watched, dealing with them all is not even equivalent to a warm up, I did not need to turn up the dial on the khaz core, what a waste of time.

The guy sitting on the couch looks visibly enraged so he attacks me and his hit was actually painful, wow, I smirk happy that the thrill fighting gives me is back.

"I don't hurt women but I'll make an exception because you touched my mate".

"Awwn, really, you should have said so earlier, then I would have drained some blood and framed it as the weird guy's mate". This clearly ticks him off, he lunges himself at me and kick my side before I could dodge, it hit hard and drew blood but just a tiny bit, I stand up and dust myself ready to teach this bastard a lesson.

I didn't wait for him to attack, I went straight to him, I landed a barrage of attacks on him, I keep kicking him till he falls, since he and his mates loves kicking, I might as well show them how to actually do it the right way.

He stands up back and tries to reach for my side, I dodge and pull him by his long hair trapping him, leaving him with no choice other than struggle, he kicks my hand temporarily loosening my grip, he starts throwing punches instead like two mixed martial fighters, we exchange punches and kicks with me giving more hits, he looks visibly tired but he didn't change into his wolf form, I wonder why, he's obviously a wolf. He notices my distraction and reaches for my face, it almost lands but I dodge and instead pull his hand behind my back and use it to slam him on the floor. His mate, the female I had flung earlier came in and was unable to hide her shock at the worn out state of her mate. He crawls back up very slowly and moves to pick up their sliver blade with wolfsbane, two can play that game, I press a button on the wall of my kitchen and my own weapon set comes into view, I pick up my customised silver blade with wolfsbane and throw it at him like a dart heading for it's dartboard. It hits his hand and goes in a bit deep, leaving blood on the floor, I kick his blade from his hand and lift him in the hair with his neck, I pull my blade out of his hand and decide to leave a small mark on his neck, I will not kill him but he needs to know that no one offends Kira Black without begging for death.

"Are you ready to talk". He glares and then spits at me, the audacity, I wipe it off and then tighten my hold on his neck totally restricting his air flow.

His mates starts begging for his life as both his hand and neck are bleeding, if it were from a normal weapon, it wouldn't have been so bad as wolves heal fast but wolfsbane and silver is the bane to their existence.

"I'll talk, I'll tell you everything from the beginning, pls let him go".

I release him and she quickly moves to hold him and so I quickly decide to use that time to find my babies only to discover that they're not there.
