SIX

The Full Moon is tomorrow. I'm not gonna lie and say I'm not freaking out because i am. My hands are shaking badly I can't even hold my coffee cup and my stupid brother is having a field day watching me.

"Get out of my face Ari." I frowned at him. He just glared at me because I know he hates that name. I just can't stop thinking about what will happen tomorrow. The Full Moon starts at 12 midnigh that's less than 9hrs. I dropped the cup on the kitchen counter and ran upstairs to me room.

"Girls! What should I do? It's almost time for the ceremony, should I get a hairdo or what?" I asked Meghan and Dora who were sitting on my bed doing goddess knows what on my MacBook.

"Hello! Ladies! Answer me! I'm this close to losing my mind right now." With that they turned and looked at me like I've turned into a vampire.

"You need to calm down April, everything will be alright. We'll just go the Arena and wait patiently for that divine sensation you'll feel when your mate is close." No matter what anyone says I'm still freaking out. I can't help it. I just wish I can for see the event tonight, I might be able to see who I'll be mated to but unfortunately my vision powers is limited.

"Girls, what's the conclusion on Jacqueline joining our group? On Monday we left her request unanswered, what should we do? Let her join us or what?" I asked because I could feel her coming over.

"Why are you asking all of a sudden?" Dora asked filing her nails.

"She's on her way to the house."

"How in the world do you do you that?" I was about to reply when Arnold opened the door. "Can't you knock? Jerk!"

"Whatever, you a have a guest, which I'm sure you saw coming. How the hell you do even do that? I have no idea." He moved to the side and Jacqueline entered the room.

"Welcome. Have a seat." She sat facing us.

"I can see you guys are preparing for tonight." She said smiling.

"Yeah we are, except April, she is freaking out badly, look at her, she's a mess." Meghan said smirking at me. I looked at Jacqueline and shook my head. Looking at her again you can tell that she has alot on her mind and alot of questions at the tip of her tongue.

"Go ahead and ask whatever you want to, I can see it written on your face." She looked at me and nodded. Clearing her throat, she began...

"How did you guys meet?" I looked at the girls and we smiled.

"It was back then when we still little pups. I remember that day my family was out on a picnic,my mom and dad where grossly making out on the mat, Arnold was out doing whatever he was doing. I stood up and started walking around the park until I saw this girl playing with knives, I was wondering what could happen if she gets hurt. I walked up to her and picked up one of the knives and noticed that it was a rubber knife. I joined her in playing, from there we became friends...."

"Who was that?" Jackie asked. I pointed to Meghan.

"Months later, at a festival in town, we met Dora, playing around the bows and arrows, Meghan and I joined her. From there we became friends. By the time we clocked 10, we started mastering knife throwing and archery. I mastered both of them but Meg stuck to Knives and Dora, Archery. We've been close since then."

"Wow! How did you learn to fight alone? I saw you that day at the grounds." I didn't know how to answer that question. I felt a hand on my shoulder and looked up, it was Meghan. She smiled and nodded.

"If its a personal reason, I understand. Besides you don't know me well enough to trust me with group secrets, its alright." She sounded heartbroken. I didn't know she wanted to be our friend that bad. I closed my eyes for while deciding if she can be trusted.

"I was almost raped." There I said it.

"I was 10. We traveled to Italy for a friend's wedding. I went to swim and lost track of time. On my way back I met two wolves. They pounced on me and tried to get me naked. I fought back but they were too strong for me. Thankfully my brother came just in time and killed them. It wasn't easy but he succeeded in killing them."

"The Alpha of that Pack did not retaliate?" Jackie asked in anger.

"Alpha Michaelo? He wanted to punish Arnold until some women came out and confessed that those guys had raped them too and they were too scared to speak up. My father got angry that the Alpha wanted to punish Arnold, so, that night we flew out of Italy. From that day I started training on my own, day and night. Before school, after school, in between classes and overnight too. Until one day, Arnold saw me training on my own and decided to help me with my training. Over the years, my dad patched things up with Alpha Michaelo. I became close with his sons Raphael and Stephano." I smiled at her as she wiped the traitor tear that dropped from her left eye.

"Wow! Good thing he came to his senses on time. But why haven't you tried a duel with Collins or Ricky or even better, my brother?" I looked up at her immediately I heard 'my brother'.

"My dear Jackie, April here can't go against your brother, not in this lifetime or any lifetime there is, maybe in dreams but not in reality." Dora said laughing. That stupid bitch.

"Why not? She's good, but she needs to go against my brother. Why can't you try April?" I was about to tell her the lie I've finished forming in my head when that stupid Meghan had to open her ugly foolish mouth.

"Jackie, April here has a huge crush on Jordan. She can't go against him, because if she does instead of fighting she'll be drooling or better still she'll be fighting but it will be a different fight..."

"Yeah, a fight to stop herself from jumping his bones and dragging him to the closest room to have an internal duel that involves the body." Dora said as she and Meghan broke into laughter.

"You guys are completely, utterly and externally useless." I said glaring at them.

"Wow! I never knew you had a crush on him. But why didn't you tell him?" I looked at her with this 'are you for real look'. "Oh yea! because of today's meeting. I'm also worried about who I'll be mated to, i hope it'll be a good person." Me too sister, me too. I looked at her for a while before making a decision.

"You're officially a member of the sisterhood."

Meanwhile.......

Everything is ready. I can't wait for tonight, to see the look on people's faces when they see that I'm mated to Jordan. My Jordan. It was not easy injecting that liquid into his body, not like I actually injected it into his body. I almost got caught.

Last night...

I have to do this tonight, no matter what. Standing in front of the Alpha's mansion, I decided to plan my strategy. The injection and the tube, safely in my pocket, with confidence I walked over to the house and opened the door bumping into someone... Collins.

"What's the hurry sweet cheeks?" What a flirt.

"My friend works here so I'm going to see if she needs any help." I said in a small voice making my face look as innocent as possible. He nodded and moved aside for me to walk in. I've never entered here before and now I'm lost. I sighted a maid carrying a glass of water on a tray, I walked over to her and stopped her.

"Excuse me, sorry were are you taking this too?"

"Alpha Jordan requested for a glass of lemon water I'm taking it to him." Perfect. Seems like luck is one my side. I can inject the liquid into the water and take it to him myself.

"Don't worry about it, I'm sure you have a lot to do, I'll do this for you since I'm on my way there." Hopefully she'll buy it and give it to me.

"I don't even know who you are, why should I give it to you?" Stupid girl.

"I was sent to collect dirty clothes for laundry from Jor....Alpha Jordan, this is my first time doing this so I don't want to disappoint anybody. So if you can direct me the way to his room I can give the water to him and collect the laundry." She looks like she's buying it.

" Okay. Thank you for your help. You're right I have a lot to do. His room is at the last floor. It's the only room on that floor, so it will be easy to find." I smiled at her and collected the tray and off I went. On reaching the door to his room, lucky for me it was opened, I peeped in and saw it empty. Perfect. I walked in and dropped the tray on the table I saw. It's now or never. I brought out the syringe and the tubes. I took one and injected myself immediately and injected the second liquid into the syringe. I removed the cap on the glass of water and injected the liquid into the water. As I was about to cover it back the room door opened..."

"What the f**k are you doing in my room Natasha? You better have a good explanation for this." Shit! Thank goodness i had already kept the syringe and tubes in my purse, if not I'll also be explaining that too.

"I'm waiting Miss David." Why is he angry?

"Calm down Jordan, I came to see a friend that works in the kitchen, she was going to bring you a cup of lemon water so I offered to help, now here I am. I can drink it if you don't trust me." I took a sip just to prove my point. I need to get out of here ASAP because I will soon be unconscious. He opened the door widely, I nodded at him and walked out. Standing behind the door for a while, I saw him drink the water. Thank goodness. With that i ran out of there, I need to get home before this substance knock me out on the street.
