THE TALE OF A LONE WOLF

CH 8- TWIST IN PLANS

MIA'S POV

“Is it...” I was about to ask her and she shushed me immediately.

“Don’t speak it out senior or else we’ll loose our cover" she looked around and made sure no one heard us before whispering it to me.

Her reply really made me dumbstruck as if i was caught even after if had the very fool proof plan. I began to feel nervous but hid it inside me not to show her that i was tensed because i could trust no one.

“No....no don’t worry. I’m not an enemy. I’m your believer senior" she had nicely noticed me and i worked my brains thinking how to tackle the situation. I couldn’t easily blow up my identity on someone just like that.

“what do you mean" i asked her in an intense tone making it clear to her that I was a tough rock to break.

“I’m sorry if I sound bad but I know who you are” she replied in a low tone more like being in guilt.

I was confused on what was she actually meaning to say. Was she talking about Mia or??? I was blank and still reacted to her.

“Girl, I seriously don’t know what are you talking about” I got up and was ready to leave when she handed over to me a bottle.

“keep it. It will help you to hide the tattoo” she gave me a bottle of make up foundation which I really didn’t know how to use. But my heart stopped at the moment she mentioned the tattoo.

I looked at her with horror realizing I was trapped as my cover was blown and the wolf in me had the urge to prowl on her and end her in just matter of minutes to keep my secret a secret. But her innocent face didn’t let me do anything.

“I’m honoured to have you back with us. But you’ll need this to keep your cover safe” she genuinely handed the foundation bottle over to me and that was when it crossed my mind that I had the royal tattoo on my back and that someone might had seen it while I was in bed for days.

“You.....” I stammered a bit yet seriously asked her did she really knew who I was.

She nodded and I began my interrogation about how much she knew and who all knew.

“How did you?” I openly asked her but made sure that we were not in public.

“We haven’t met yet actually” she again smiled at me and I felt eased because that girls innocence was affecting me.

“hi, I’m Kiara, from green leaf pack” she extended her hands for a shake with me and she again surprised me by revealing her pack name.

“the pack specialised in medics and portions” I spoke out and she happily nodded to it.

“only the superiors know about my identity and as my pack members had met alpha Diana to help me keep my identity low profile as they feared that if others come to know about who I was, they could torture me for getting portions that could help them win the games” she sadly revealed her truth to me and I understood that she was a soul worth trusting as her pack was well known for their honesty.

I finally relaxed from the shocks and gave out a breath knowing I was safe. Now I eagerly wanted to know how she knew my truth and I blindly trusted her on that.

“does anyone else?” I couldn’t complete my words and I didn’t know why. But she was quick to understand what I wanted to know and told me everything.

“that night, I was the one who treated you for the wound. I was shocked to see the tattoo and wanted to tell all but then I didn’t feel to do so. All I knew was that I was really happy to have you back as we waited for you a lot” she answered merrily and it was evident on her face that how happy she was to meet me.

I was awed by her gesture and felt really gratitude for her knowing she was the one who saved my life and wanted to thank her. I didn’t know how to thank her and came up with this wicked idea.

“well, I’m really happy to meet you Kiara” i gave her a shake hand.

I could feel the tiny little eyes of her fill up with great honour and pleasure as if she had received the greatest bliss of her life. She was too innocent that she was about to kneel down before me to show respect and i grabbed her and hugged her to stop exposing both of us and she tightly hug me back in excitement.

“girl, i really hate hugs" i felt trapped in the physical moment and let go of her. She too backed off hearing me and wiped her tears of excitement. I could help than breaking into a laughter seeing her reaction. But that was not it. Her face clearly expressed her desire to get answers for all her curiosity and i didn’t want to break everything in just a meet so i spoke to her.

“just don’t break our cover and keep it top secret. I trust you and I mean it. Just remember that if you break my trust then who all will have to suffer for it" I in a mixed tone of trust and warning warned he to keep up our low profile and she nodded a yes to me and ran of to the player crowd in the ground.

I was still transfixed on knowing that I just missed on revealing my identity on the day of the attack and it was just my luck that saved me by sending Kiara to me. I couldn’t be more grateful to my fate than I was in the moment for saving me from a big blast. Anyways i came to know what all grave errors i had made and cursed myself for forgetting about the royal tattoo that was all which would have resulted in a massive war if it was revealed. I looked at the foundation bottle and really felt proud of Kiara for being so trustworthy.

My pain had vanished completely by the medicine of her and i vowed to protect her from all the difficulties she would have to face while living with the other players. I had to do it at least for the big help she had given me.

All the players began to practise without wasting anytime and i simply took a stroll around the ground observing each and every players, their skills and so on.

There were many who were skilled in combat and experts in weaponry too. I was reminded by the days i had received the hard-core intensive training from beta Simon of hawks eye pack. He was the one who had made me who i was, with all the studies and trainings i received being in his pack. And most of my techniques were unique as i myself had made those moves from my own combat knowledge.

While i strolled, i met with a girl who came to me and informed me that the alpha had called me. I agreed and hurried my way to the alpha headquarters.

The security in the mansion was doubled after the attack made on Dylan and it made the entry inside difficult for all. Even the most trusted people had to go through security check every once and then they go in and out of the mansion.

I was completely irritated on being dragged into the mess of a long security check where the whole body of the person was checked for any hidden weapons and all. I began to understand how a mother went out of all limits to ensure the safety of her own bloods as the mansion now was a clear target for rogues after Jayden also came back.

Finally the security check which felt like hours came to an end and i was allowed to enter inside. Without being drowned in the nostalgic memories of my childhood, i walked straight to alpha Diana’s cabin and abruptly stopped myself from entering when i heard screams and shouts of alpha echo inside her big cabin. I knew it was not a decent persons job to sneak into others conversation but I couldn’t resist when i sensed a scent which was familiar to that of Tasha.

I peaked in and saw her standing still and i front of her was alpha Diana screaming and shouting at her for something. I slightly opened the door to get a better view and witnessed ny sister being tortured by the cold alpha.

“How dare you show off in front of the player you little piece of trash. Whom do you think you are to do that” her eyes were red with the hatred she possessed growling on Tasha.

I was shocked to see that reaction of her and examined Tasha who didn’t at all react to the person who was humiliating her. But what crossed my mind was why alpha was behaving so rudely with her? What sin had she done to be a prey for such a meet?

“those wolfs needed to be taught not to underestimate their opponents and that’s what i did. What was so wrong in it?” Tasha raised her question head bowed.

“Whom do you think you are to do that and moreover how dare you lead a fight with the girl who saved my Dylan?” Diana yelled up another of her query.

“ she was way too weak to be a part of the games and i just questioned her if she could play with it. She was the one who led the fight" Tasha again answered with her head bowed and i wondered why she felt so low to face alpha.

“You filthy piece of trash. How dare you raise you voice in front of me. Don’t ever forget you place in this mansion" Diana sweared at her and then did the thing which was way out of her limits.

She tightly lay a slap on Tasha's face and she fell on floor. My blood boiled seeing that scene and I wanted to throw open the door rushing in to help her and confront the so called alpha. How dare she behave like that with anyone?

I did the same and threw opened the door entering it with controlled boiling rage. I had my attitude on and walked up confidently to her and stood next to Tasha. I looked down to her and saw that blood had oozed out of her lips and it made my heart raise with the desire to pay back for it.

I looked at Diana and then at Tasha and gave her a helping hand just like I did in the ground and this time she took my hand after a few moment and it made me decide that I was going to change the fate of my sister for sure.......
