Chapter 34: #34 He Is Not On My Nice List
Sapphire''s P.O.V
I felt a finger grazing my cheek. But there was something wrong with the touch. Itcked tingles. It
lacked the ability to fire me up and jump on his bones. It felt almost... dirty.
I groaned. What the hell happened? I recalled back only to have my head pound in pain.
I was in the apartment feeling sad. Then... somebody knocked on the door. The happenings were
slowly returning to me. I refused because I smelled... witches! I snapped my eyes open. Everything
rushed back to me which made me hold my head and whimper in pain.

"Hey baby." My eyes snapped to the person who was in front of me. A small growl escaped from my
lips as I saw the guy I started to have hate for. And hate is a pretty strong word. "What the hell is this?"
I yelled. "Don''t worry. It''s just the wolf bane messing with your head. You''ll feel your feelings for me
soon." He grinned and I internally puked at the sight of it. "I''m pretty sure the feelings I have now are
very urate." I snarled. I got awarded with a stinging sensation on my right cheek and I let out a
gasp. "Do not dare disrespect me." Graysen snarled. "Why? Cause you don''t want to lose the small
shred of dignity you have left? How pathetic are you? Having to force a girl to marry you?!" I screamed
at him, letting all the frustration and anger I felt slide in. He punched my gut and I doubled over in pain.
"You will not speak to me like that." He demanded angrily.
"Why?" I whispered and he narrowed his eyes at me. "Why are you doing this? What about your
mate?" I whispered with tear filled eyes. "She''s dead." He shrugged. "You still don''t have to do this.
You''ve managed the pack so well till now. Why do you even need a mate?" I asked, breathing heavily.
"What is this? Twenty questions?" He snapped and I felt the skin of his palm connecting with my left
cheek.
"Why? I found my mate! After so much, I was starting to trust him. Hell, I fell in love with him. Why are
you so intent on ruining my life?" I screamed. I knew that I was pushing the limit and I had expected
him to snap. What I hadn''t been ready for was a quick blow to my gut once more. I copsed on the
ground in pain. I''m sure that bruises were going to start showing. "Why?" Heughed bitterly. I tried
standing up. He must have caught the challenging look I had in my eyes because he kicked my side,
making tears spring to my eyes. Here, Drew whispered and scared me. I almost jumped up. A surge of
pain numbing power went through my veins. They injected wolf bane into your system and Gwen is
currently blocked from you. Just, don''t let him suspect anything. I''ll try to numb the pain. Do not do
anything stupid, I don''t have too much power left. You guys are affecting me. And also think of a n to
get out of here, we can''t we here when the Changing happens, with those words, she retreated to the
back of my head.
"Mind exining?" I gritted my teeth and sat up. "Your mother." He simply stated and I saw a flick of
sadness in his eyes. But it was gone in a second. "My mother?" I frowned. "Yes my little Sapphire. I
was your mother''s mate." He growled and I flinched.
It had never urred me. My father was a demon. My mother was a werewolf. How was it possible
they were mates? The answer was easy. They were never mates.
I gaped at Graysen and he smirked. "Yes Sapphire. I had no idea why your mother would rather go with
that... stranger." I gulped and he continued heatedly, "we had recognised each other but she ran off
before I could say anything. The next day, she came back with another man''s scent. You had no idea
how angry I was. To the point of no back. I vowed revenge. I vowed to make her life a living hell, too
bad she isn''t even here." He chuckled humourlessly.
"So you decided to inflict it on her daughter." I stated. He just smiled at me with those imma-make-your-
life-a-living-hell smiles. And it made me shiver in dread.
"Yes. But I could get what I want in the process. A mate, a Luna and a booty call. You don''t look half
bad." He smirked and I actually puked this time. More like dry heaving since I was dehydrated and I
haven''t eaten for a long time. A werewolf can go a few weeks without food so it''s really okay. But I don''t
really want to eat even if I was hungry, so...
He smirked once more before leaving and calling over his shoulder, "have fun baby. We''ll have fun
when I return. I have some pack stuff to do."1
I silently went through the ns I had to leave. "Oh, and don''t think about escaping. There are many,
many guards guarding the pack house." He snickered ad if he could read my mind. I growled softly as
he closed the door behind him. I looked around and immediately gagged. I was in a bedroom. More like
Graysen''s bedroom. I had been feeling scared too much to notice his strong scent. I wanted to puke so
bad but I couldn''t. Wait....
I quickly sat up as a n formed through my head. That''s it.
Puke.
I quickly stuck my index finger into my throat, trying to trigger my gag reflexes. I finally did it after a few
attempts. I felt tears sprung to my eyes as I vomited water out. I ran over to the room door and started
knocking like a mad man. I could hear the people outside shuffle with unease.
"Hey. I''m not feeling well. I kinda vomited. Open the door!" I yelled, my fist pounding on the door. "I''m
sorry miss but the Alpha ordered us to keep the door closed all day. There''s a connected bathroom in
there. Just wash up there." A guy''s gruff voice answered. "No. It''s not that. I feel closed in. I have
ustrophobia. I can''t stand to be in a locked up ce." I whined. "Sorry, we cant do anything about it
Luna." Another guard said apologetically. So much for a n, I snorted at myself. Whining? Really? I
could detect sarcasm even if she''s tired. Got enough power to st us out? I snorted. Did he just call
us Luna? Gwen''s weak voice asked. Gwen? Are you alright? I asked worriedly. Yeah. The wolf bane
made me weak, not die, she rolled her eyes. I grinned, happy that she was herself again.
Okay, make the guardse in, Drew ordered. Why? I furrowed my eyebrows. I heard someone
talking and my ears pricked up. I shushed them and listened.
"The Alpha said to inject her with wolf bane every morning." A voice whispered and I caught it with my
demon and werewolf hearing abilities. It was kinda far away. Perhaps a few halls away. "Now? She
already had a dose yesterday. That''s how they caught her remember?" Another voice grumbled. "Now.
Alpha says, we do. Now stop whining like a sissy and go inject her." A gruffer voice argued. I heard
someone grumble and I sneaked back quickly to Graysen''s bed. Couldn''t let them know I heard them.
I heard someone knock, then a key twisting in the keyhole. "So much for knocking." I grumbled. The
door swung open to reveal a guy in his twenties who I recognised. He smirked and walked over after
closing the door behind him. I did the most the reasonable thing, I scowled.
"No need to scowl Luna." He snickered. I snorted in response. "Sorry that you didn''te back to
me?" He said with bitterness in his voice. "Regret rejecting and breaking my heart first?" I retorted and I
swear I saw a sh of guilt in his forest green eyes. He ced a hand on my arm and I struggled. He
then ced a finger on my lips, trying to shush me.
"What Leo?" I hissed and he shushed me. He looked around half expecting that people were going to
rush in. Curiosity got better of me and I stared at him.
He took out his phone and opened the notepad app. I raised an eyebrow. He typed something before
showing it to me.
I heard you found your mate. Your second mate.
I hesitantly nodded and he gave me a small smile.
Are you happy with him?
That question honestly shocked me and I had no choice but nod.
Me, Be and Willow areing up with a n to contact your mate and let you out of here.
I looked at him shocked, my eyes widening. I reacted and typed on his phone, are you serious? Why
are you helping me?
I acted like a jerk. You deserve someone who loves you for you. He sent me a small smile.
Thanks. But the fucker is expecting me to get kinky when he gets back. I shivered at what he told me
about being dirty just now.
I''ll try toe up with something. With that he got up and held the needle with wolf bane. I raised an
eyebrow at him.
Give me your hands.
I shook my head as hard as I could.
"Goddamnit give me your arm." He growled and I squeaked in surprise. He then winked at me and I
knew it was just for show. "Get away from me you fucking heart breaker!" I yelled. He let a little wolf
bane slide down the skin of my arm, not in fact injecting it as he was ordered to. He then proceeded to
walk to the bathroom and squeezed the rest of the liquid down the sink. I smiled. He was smart, at least
letting me have a little wolf bane scent on me, like that no one would be suspicious. He saluted me
before walking out of the room.
I heard voices and sentences been exchanged. Leo told a guard that he sessfully injected me with
wolf bane and I was currently knocked out.
How kind of him, Gwen smiled. Yeah, I smiled back. No time for this heart to heart, Graysen might be
back soon, Drew snapped. I felt Gwen brooding over something. I was thinking... Is there some chance
Ryder wille safe us? Just wondering, she asked softly. I felt by hug tug down a little at the
question. No, I said curtly. But you wish for it right? She whispered. Course I do, but I don''t think so, we
rejected him, I sighed. Okay, we can talk about thatter, now, we need to make a move considering
that we have the element of surprise, the guards don''t know we''re up, Drew drawled and I nodded
gratefully at her. I was starting to feel emotional at all those depressing talk.
Sapphire? A voice asked timidly. Wait- Clover?! I asked in surprise. Oh my god I''m such an idiot... how
could I forget we had this bond? She groaned. Don''t worry, I also forgotten about it. You''re at the pack
house right? Don''t tell Ryder this but I''m kidnapped by Graysen and- I babbled. Toote for that, we''re
actually at your apartment, she said awkwardly. Why? I growled. Georgia kinda told Ryder about your
demon and umm... stuff, she mumbled. What stuff? I seethed. Your Changing... She trailed. She
fucking told him?! I yelled. Hey, you''re giving me a headache, she whined. No time for whining Clover, I
need you to get me out of here, I said quickly. How am I suppose to do that? She asked. Okay, whip
out a phone or a piece of paper and a fucking pen and jot down the numbers I say, I said. She
mumbled an ok. After a while, she replied. 229-4845. Call this number. It belongs to a girl named Be
Rellen. She''s in this pack. My friends and my ex-mate are trying toe up with a n, work with
them and tell me anything through this bond. And Clover, do not. And I mean do not,e here with
Ryder. I do not want you guys hurt, I said in a breath. Are you done? She asked in a pissed off tone
and I knew that I had somehow pissed her off in my small rant. Firstly, I can do nothing to stop Ryder.
Believe me, he''s on a rampage right now that witches are a part of this. Secondly, this is what you
trained me for. At least let me use his chance to prove what I''ve learned. Thirdly, are you freakin
kidding me?! I''lle if I want thank you very much. Fourth, I''m not a baby so stop thinking I''ll get hurt,
I''ll talk to youter, with that, she blocked me out of her head. Probably to tell Ryder about it. Clover!
Clover, don''t tell him! I yelled. Clover being a good friend she is, ignored me.
"Great."I muttered sarcastically.
I heard the door open and I spun towards it. "Hey baby." Graysen smiled at me and I internally gagged.
"Hey." I forced out a smile. "I thought that you were asleep. Couldn''t wait to get wet?" He smirked and I
almost puked in my mouth. "No. It''s just that. I was hoping you could postpone the... ns. Maybe 3 to
4 days." I shrugged, trying to look nonchnt about it. "Why?" He asked as he narrowed his eyes
suspiciously. Not letting it faze me, I said smoothly, "I was thinking that you would let me settle down.
I''m not really thatfortable. It''s been a long time since I was here." I said innocently. "4 days?" He
asked. "4 days." I confirmed. "I suppose I could do that. Anything else?" He asked as he trailed a finger
down my arm. Yes, a different room, I''m gonna puke if I stay here another second, Gwen muttered.
You''re suppose to be on wolf bane remember? Stop talking before you get him suspicious, I snapped.
"Well, yes. Earlier before I got injected by the wolf bane, my wolf asked if she could have a different
room." I said slowly. "What do you mean? You don''t want to share a room with me?" He roared, anger
lining his words. "No. It''s just... I need to getfortable in this... environment and I need to calm down
somewhere. Yesterday''s events are still a little... overwhelming." I said sadly. "So youll share a room
with me after we get married right?" He asked, his eyes shing between ck and green. I nodded
quickly. I badly wanted to say, married? Over my dead body. Are you using big words on him? Drew
snorted. Shut up, I mumbled. "Fine. I''ll have another room made ready. Just for 4 days. Do not try
anything funny Sapphire. This pack is crawling with guards." He warned. I nodded my head, grateful
that I didn''t have to stay here another day. "Anything else?" He asked, cocking an eyebrow. "Umm...
about that. I don''t really want wolf bane injected into me every day." I mumbled. I was crossing my
fingers on this one. It seemed like something he would unlikely fulfil. "Sorry Sapphire baby, that''s one
got to stay." He shook his head without considering. Stupid fingers. I thought it would work... Baby?
Gwen screeched in disgust and I winced as her high ouch ed voice sent a pang of pain through my
head.
"Baby, you okay?" He asked worriedly. Worried my ass. Probably just wants me as a booty call. "Yeah.
I''m fine. Just the wolf bane getting to me." I forced out a smile.
"Oh, then you better rest. The wedding will be in 4 days." I nodded and a guard soon came in to escort
me to my new room.
"Wait!" I called out and the guard stopped. "I want to know... how did you manage to sent me those
notes and stuff? How did you know where I was going to be?" I asked hesitantly. He merely smirked
and a girl soon walked into the room. "Jennifer!" I spat. "Hey honey. Home sweet home huh?" She
smiled venomously. "Why are you helping him? You don''t even belong in this pack." I couldn''t help but
ask. She smiled at me, not at all speaking.
That was when I noticed it. The structure of their faces. Their noses and the shapes of their eyebrows.
"Oh my god." I whispered. "Sapphire, meet my father." She smirked and walked over to Graysen. "You
sick person! How can you betray your pack and your soon to be Luna?!" I screamed at her. "You see.
Ryder is clouded by your beauty. Once you''re out of the way, he would see what I really mean to him.
You''ll see." She smirked and walked towards the door. "Oh and Sapphire, I''ll be looking forward to
calling you mother." She smirked and a horrified expression clouded my face.
"Why? How?" I turned to Graysen for an exnation. "You see. It''s not that I couldn''t find my mate. She
already died. She was a member at the Dark Moon Pack. I found her there. I slept with her and
proceeded to bring her back here the next day. However, she disappeared. For a very long time, I
searched high and low for her but she was MIA. Soon, I heard news that she returned and had gave
birth to a girl. But the tragedy was, she died at childbirth." He finished. "So... It wasn''t that you couldn''t
find your mate. It''s because you already found her but she died." I gasped. I couldn''t bear the thought
of Ryder dying.
"It must have hurt." I whispered. "It did. But you''re here to help me heal." He shrugged and my
sympathy vanished into thin air at once. I just nodded and walked towards the door with the guard
beside me.
"Oh and Sapphire," I turned to face him with a poker face. "Yeah?" I asked and put on an innocent
smile. "There will be new clothes in your drawer. And about running awayst time, I know I forced you
into a wedding and that made you run away under the pressure. I''m sorry about that." He said, not
sounding sorry at all. "Thank you." I smiled. A fake one of course.
My real smiles onlye out when I''m with people I like and Graysen wasn''t about to go on my care
list or nice list.
I wonder if Santa puts him on the naughty list? Ha, I hope he gets coal in his stocking when Christmas
arrives.
