Bring it on, Nasty!!

Chapter 5

All the lights and all the bloom

Her special day ,

For me, Turns to doom.

Ambrose

I scowl as we enter the amusement park.

There are so many humans here, moving around in large numbers like ants .....

" Will you stop looking around like you want to murder everyone? " Zuri says placing a calming hand on my bicep

" What makes you think I don't want to? " I sneer under my breath, Zuri rolls her eyes at me and her mate Raze lets out a mirthless chuckle.

As we move further inside I try to block out the smells . Here in crowds of humans, my sharp sense of smell is a disadvantage. All humans more or less smell the same, sweaty and disgusting.

Reema buys some cotton candy for Kiara. The little punk has abandoned me as soon as we got out of the car. Reema is her most favorite among the pack members and Reema adores her back equally.

The smells of edibles is the only pleasant smell in the air and soon we find ourselves things to binge on. Kiara is content with her cotton candy and with her favorite flavored lollipop.

There is only one person who is missing from our pack today, Ali. Alicia Bennett.

Kiara is sad about her absence too but she is smart enough to know not to be angry with her.

Though Alicia isn't a werewolf she is still very close to our pack. She is a witch and since ancient days it is a given that each and every wolf pack is associated with a witch family.

The witches conceal our ' Wolfish ' nature from humans. It's not like we have fangs in our mouth our claws for hands. It is more of traditional custom.

Our pack is associated with The Bennett family.

Alicia is as close to us as we are to each other but her Grandmother Liela Bennett is a completely different story. It is said that the magic infests itself only in the first daughter of each generation of a witch family and Alicia was the only daughter to her parents.

Both her parents died when when she was little and since then her grandmother had been her guardian, an overprotective guardian.

Liela Bennett is the female version of my father and occasionally proved to be much worse.

She did not let her hang out with us and on special occasions like theses she was all the more strict

" Want to play something?Love " Shikki says scooping up Kiara in his arms from beside Reema " Tell me what do you like " At Shikki's question her delighted eyes dance looking at the many game stalls here. She rubs her chin lightly considering ( People say she picked that habit from me ) and then she grins widely pointing towards ' Whack-a -mole '

When she starts playing after we buy the ticket she and others squeal with laughter, While I basically send away every human in the same area as us.

I'm a pack's person not people's person.

To send people away I just have to glare, Which on more than numerous accounts proved to be effective . I'm told my glare can be downright terrifying which, I obviously take as a compliment.

Even though we all are in human form there is still something about us that always warns them to stay from us, at a subconscious level.

We are a dangerous lot after all....

Most of them heed to the sane warnings of their brains, but few are exceptions or too dense.

I see a tall girl with wild curly red hair and tiny blue shorts checking me out , eyeing me clear admiration.

I'm used to girls looking at me that way .

I know they like what they see . What's not to like ?

Sometimes, I take full advantage of my looks sometimes I glare at them harder with my face set in stone after that it doesn't take long for them to scurry faster than I can blink.

We are all trying our hands at the game of balloon and darts when a familiar smell makes me tense up. My pack mates pick up the smell only a few seconds later .

Members from the Blackstone pack are here. Four of them.

A low threatening growl escapes my throat.

"Ambrose, Don't lose your cool " Shiki says in an attempt to keep me calm " Remember we are in a public place. There are too many hu..."

" My !My! Isn't this the infamous Ambrose Wilde? " Says one of the stinkbags emerging from the sea of humans.

Jatin , With his dirty blond hair falling into his eyes and an annoying amount of arrogance on his face. I would like nothing more than punching it out of his face or knock a few teeth out of his jaw.

" I'm surprised you are here among humans considering your last incident..." My eyes which are now hard orbs of hatred and disgust flash to him with a silent promise of destruction.

One of the female werewolves of his pack looking at my expression presses herself closes to his side. " Never mind" He brushes it away but there is a nervous edge in his voice.

" There are bets going on in our pack, you know, " He says still not quite ready to shut his mouth " Regarding who will be the beta of your little pack " He says his beady eyes looking at members of the Wilde pack greedily and a devious smile on his face grows " I'm rooting for you . Your brother isn't...." Before he knows it my hand flies out to his throat and closes around it in an iron grip.

My pack mates rush closer to me, trying to calm me down with their words and pry my hand away from his throat

" Let go of him...."

"You will kill him..."

I pay no heed to their words and neither does the hold on his throat loosen even a tiny fraction.

Jatin's face has turned a rapidly increasing shade of blue and I feel his pulse racing frantically under the skin of his throat as he struggles for breath.His eyes are almost popping out from his worthless head.

I have to admit I'm liking the scenery.

I and anger is a combination none would recommend for good health.

My hand still crushing his windpipe I pull him closer " One more word out of your pathetic mouth...." I sneer in his blue face which had bid good bye to the smugness some time back and is replaced with sheer fear " I'll rip out your tongue and shove it up your...."

"Ambrose, Do you want Kiara to see this? " Zuri's words cut through my haze of violence and I release him immediately.

Unbalanced, Jatin stumbles and two of his pack mates scramble to support him before he faceplants. I can see my finger-shaped black and blue welts on his throat as he drags in greedy rugged breaths.

" If you want to live, leave this park immediately "

I hear a terrified whimper from one of his pack mates "Now! " I snarl and they dart away with no need for further motivation.

Their tails between their legs.

The anger inside me is like a boiling sea long after they are out of my sight. I wish we weren't surrounded my humans right now . if we hadn't been I could have ran into the forest at the back of my house to let off some steam letting the beast inside me take over.

But no such luck now.

" Relax ! " Tess says soothingly.

Kiara thankfully hadn't seen even a single glimpse of this.....Ordeal.

Reema had cleverly taken her away to a stall of stuffed animals and the sight of the sweet and excited smile on my little sister's face calms me down considerably.

" Now that jerk will have to wear a scarf around his neck for an entire week," Shiki says smirking " I hope he strangles himself " both he and Brandon share a laugh.

We wolves heal pretty quickly but what I have done to Jatin gives me a small amount of dark satisfaction.

The Blackstone pack is our rival pack. They can stoop down to any level for power, and by any level, I do mean any level . Dirty politics, Murder etc etc....

Manipulation is something all of them are extremely skilled at.

They won't hesitate even for a second to stab you in the back. I speak from experience.

Reema and Kiara walk over to us.

Reema shares a brief anxious look with Shiki who looking at me gestures that everything is fine.

She lets out a breath of relief as she bends down to ask Kiara what other stalls she would like to check out next.

Tess groans when her phone starts ringing " I'm sure it's mom " The way her face falls as she looks at the caller's name confirms to us that she is right.

Tess mother is a human through and through.

Though it's not exactly forbidden in our community for werewolves and humans to get involved with each other or get married it is not exactly looked upon as a good thing.

Tess dad was a werewolf, He passed away a long time ago and later when Tess had gained her ability to change forms a certain distance and hesitation crept into the mother-daughter relationship.

We suspected that her mother was hoping Tess wouldn't inherit her father's gene to change form and Tess suspected her mother was scared of her.

And more than that she was scared of us hanging out with her daughter, much to our dismay especially to her mate Brandon's. She did not let Tess hang out with us for long periods of time.

She still couldn't accept the fact that her daughter was a werewolf.

"I'm coming, I'm coming " She speaks into the phone giving us all sad guilty looks.

She stays on the phone for a few more minutes and then slips her phone back into her jeans pocket

"Got to go, " She informs sadly to us and Brandon volunteers to drive her home but she refuses " Have fun with everyone here, " she says but the glum look on his face tells us all how much fun he is ready to have.

" Please, " Tess says requesting and he nods reluctantly

She kisses him after hugging each of us.

" Sorry kiddo, I can't be home for cake cutting ceremony, " Tess says referring to the celebrations that will be taking place at our house when we return back. I'm sure Mom and Dad are currently busy with the arrangements.

" But I have something for you, " She says bending down so she is on level with Kiara and hands her a small gift-wrapped box. Kiara wraps her arms around her after quick kiss on cheek and then Tess leaves.

Mateless Brandon walks beside me while the other couples Zuri and Raze , Shiki and Reema both of them with Kiara in the middle holding hands move around.

The encounter with Jatin had left me on edge .

How dare he show his face today , On Kiara's birthday !

I never once loose sight of Kaira . Call me possessive or overprotective, I'll be whatever I'll have to be for my sister's protection.

Everyone looks up concerned and reluctant when Kiara expresses that she wants to ride the roller coaster. But the little Devil throws a tantrum so big when we refuse we are at the tickets counter the next second and later looking around for seats.

We were the last one to get in so we don't have many seats to choose from. Reema and Kiara sit together then Brandon and Shiki together which leaves me alone . I settle down in the only empty seat available next to some girl I don't even notice. My eyes focused on the back of Kiara's head. I can't get rid of that disgusting Jatin out of my head.

When the ride starts Kiara's delighted sounds made me grin. This was the first time she is riding the roller coaster and living every bit of it. Roller coasters have always been my favorite ride too. She is so my sister.

I love the rush of adrenaline you feel on this thing. It's exhilarating.

Almost as good as running in my wolf form.Almost.

When the ride comes to a stop I have a grin on my face and I see Kiara twist as much as she can in her seat as she looks back at me and waves enthusiastically. Her cheeks are red from screaming and excitement and then.....a wet sloppy thing splashes on my shoes.....Puke!

The girl beside me threw up! She bloody threw up on me! ON ME !!

"s**t !" s**t!s**t! s**t! My mind is too bloody shocked to react more than this and before I know it my friends are surrounding me and I'm out of my seat.

I glance over my shoulder to look at the culprit but she is hidden because of all the people between us but nothing can hide her smell, she has a distinguishable smell. And nothing can mask it, Not even the puke .
