Alpha of Mind-Games

Beta

"Where are they?", Gilbert asked in a monotone.

"They should be arriving soo-"

"We're here...", Axel whispered as he shyly came into the house, Forrest right behind him. As soon as he saw me, he glared. He wouldn't have allowed Axel to come down with another Alpha here even if it's with him. So, I first said Axel needed to come alone to make both of them coming a more likable idea.

It worked.

"So-! Umm, who're you?", I smiled wickedly to myself as Axel asked that question to Him.

"Light Claw's Alpha.", He said with a dangerous stare.

"A-haha...I-I'm so...sorry..........", Axel slightly backed up, terrified.

The Alpha just turned His head to look in front of him, ignoring Axel any further, then stood up. He went passed Axel and Forrest and we followed him to the Cabins.

There, we saw our Alpha surrounded by our best healers. She was in human form and unconscious. Her body was badly damaged, she was mostly blue, purple, and yellow from the bruises, with large claw and bite marks on top of it. Almost all of Her was swollen and puffy, and this is Her cleaned up.

Forrest held his anger in, but couldn't help but question Her condition.

"She...Her human form should be fine, well, alive. Her wolf isn't as damaged, so we quickly bandaged Her wolf, then have Her as a human for the time being.", I explained.

Forrest turned to face Light Claw's Alpha with clenched fists, "Why don't you take responsibility?!", he said through clenched teeth.

The Alpha was unfazed, and instead calmly replied with, "She chose to fight in human form. Whether it was out of pride or intellect, I have trouble figuring out.", He then paused to think, "Actually, perhaps both would be most accurate."

Forrest glared at the Alpha, He noticed, "Just like your Alpha, you lack respect towards the higher classes.", Gilbert scoffed into a mumble.

Axel grabbed his mate's hand before he snapped. We sat on the chairs as the healers worked on our Alpha. Gilbert watched their every movement, silently judging our inferior methods.

When all was done, one of the healers told us they did all they could (which Gilbert scoffed quietly to), and that it may be awhile until She wakes up. When they all left, everyone sat still until Gilbert got up and walked towards the sleeping Alpha.

"I expected better...", He then walked to the other side, leaning to take a closer look on Her shoulder which confused us. "Considering this was made in your pack."

We all got up to look at what He was observing: Axel's glue bandage.

Axel shifted nervously, sensing the spotlight to be on him soon. Gilbert turned his head to look at Axel with a semi disgusted look on his face, "Why did you choose to name it Glam Glam Goop...?"

Axel's face grew red, as he felt ashamed and embarrassed.

"Because, he can.", Forrest defended sternly.

"Hmm,", Gilbert hummed unamused, "fair enough.".

He stood up straight, "Lead me to your lab and demonstrate how you made this...Glam Glam Goop."

By us, we heard an extremely dry laugh from the now awakened Lavender. I went to grab the water and poured some into Her mouth. When She finished, I laid Her back, "Ordering my wolves, huh? Haha, god you're so full of yourself.".

"Was that not the deal?"

"To be full of yourself? Nah, it was for Axel, here, to show ya his new thing.", She joked.

Gilbert, however, wasn't amused. Our Alpha rolled her swollen eyes, not expressing the pain when she did so.

Gilbert looked at Axel, and with that we headed to the lab. Except, my Alpha called me before I could follow.

"Stay here with me, Violet. Let's catch up."

I obeyed Her orders and sat by Her, "So, did ya feed my monster fishes?"

I stayed silent, forgetting all about the kois that she ordered me to feed during Her absence.

"Violet..."

I gulped, "There were...distractions...", I looked away.

"Goddamnit, Violet.", she face palmed Her injured face, "OW! Fuck!".

Forrest

As we entered the door, I went to sit on the stool I sat on last time, leaving no seats for the Alpha. He narrowed His eyes on me before dismissing it and watching Axel while He stood. I smirked.

"Soo, do I just do my thing normally o-"

"Just start, I'll be asking questions while you work."

"Oh ok.", Axel mumbled.

I didn't really understand all this he was doing, I knew the chemistry taught to me, but this care-free attitude Axel has with these chemicals just confuses me.

So he started pouring stuff together, until he was stopped.

"What's that?"

"Oh, u-uh it's glitter glue."

"Why?"

Axel looked confused for a moment, "Why di-"

"What does the glitter glue do?", the Alpha was growing annoyed. I smiled to myself, that's my pumpkin.

"Oh! Umm, it makes the stuff sparkly and more gooey."

The Alpha looked more confused than ever, "What gave you the idea to add it to the substance?"

Axel looked down at the liquid, "Umm, curiosity..."

He didn't ask any more questions, but still expressed his confusion with His face. He watch Axel cork the volumetric flask, and slightly shake it in a circular motion while holding it far from himself.

Only Axel jumped at the exploding sound, and he quickly went to the suction box to suck up the smoke coming from the flask. He then took it out and presented it to the astonished Alpha.

"Uhh, you don't have to use pink glitter glue, you can use different colors. U-uh, I've only tried the Smile-A-Day brand, not the others. Don't know if it'll-"

"...amazing...truly...", He looked at the sub-, I mean, Glam Glam Goop with child-like wonder. It was hard to stay sour at the Alpha when he was expressing such innocent happiness.

"May I?", the Alpha asked Axel with newfound respect, which shocked us both. Axel allowed him with a stutter then built up the courage to ask, "W-Why was this a part of your deal with our Alpha? And what's our pack offering in r-return?"

I stood to walk over and massage the stiff shoulders of my nervous mate. He leaned back on me with a silent sigh.

"While your Alpha fought my wolves in human form, we noticed this on her upper arm. I was amazed how long it held, providing even slight protection! The claws and teeth of my wolves couldn't penetrate it until the 4th try."

Axel held his breath as he listened, the Alpha continued, turning to look Axel in the eyes, "That's what made me stop the fight, also She knocked out 9 of my wolves as a human, and I would rather not see the damage She could cause as a wolf (especially if the rumors are true). Moving on, I asked Her of the protection, She then manipulated our curiosity by forming a truce in exchange for this.", the Alpha ended sourly.

Axel didn't seem angered, but I was, "That's not Hers to trade.", I stormed out towards our Alpha, Axel gripping my arm to calm me down.

I pushed the curtains out of the way.

"Oh no.", She mumbled.

"The Glam Glam Goop isn't yours to trade.", I refrained from yelling. The Beta looked at me from where he sat, and I could tell he went through the same conversation I started.

"Forrest,", She started, "let's not talk about this with a prideful Alpha near us."

I was about to retort when Axel turned me around to face him, "Forrest, it's fine! I'm not mad!"

"Well, I am.", I said through clenched teeth.

"I'm sure She had a good reason, a plan!"

That's when it clicked.

"Damn it, Axel...", She mumbled.

"Plan?", we all turned to face Light Claw's Alpha. He was quiet, looking as if he was thinking hard. Then sudden realization came as He glared at Her.

"You.", the Glam Glam Goop was forgotten about, "I should have paid attention to your older nicknames, Trickster! That's why you fought in human form! So, we could all see the healing cover, stop the fight, and form a truce! Not morphing into a wolf to save it from damage, so that you have a way to return to your pack! You needed allies for the coming war against you, and what better than a medical-focused pack?! You knew we'd want to find out about this thing, so you manipulated us, manipulated everything! Alpha of mind games...".

She sighed in irritation at the old names.

He narrowed His eyes on suspicion at our Alpha, "What would you have done if you were killed before we noticed, how did you know we would be interested, that we haven't created something similar, or even that we won't turn on you after our truce?!"

She sighed, "If you put it that way, I sound like a genius bitch. But, to answer your question, I was hoping on making a friend along the way."

The Alpha scoffed, "Friendships aren't friendships if you had to lie and manipulate them.".

It was Her turn to scoff, "So you know what friendships are! Couldn't tell by the way you talk to your pack, they sure do respect you, but for your intelligence. Your wolves are nothing more than numbers to you."

"My pack is far larger than yours.", He growled, "And I suppose the great, Alpha of the Night Sky pack would know everything about Her rogue filled pack?"

"Heh! I do! Along with their exact birthdays, their height, weight, size, personality, gender, sexuality, allergies, training levels, strong points, weak points, where they live and with whom, and even their preferred beverages and foods!"

Everyone now stared at Her, taken aback.

"Including their former pack, former class, and reason they left. I know their moods by their actions and facial expressions, hobbies, careers, interest, all that shit! Except for a few that include my Beta, Forrest, and Axel here cuz they're too much like Violet! But that's far better than you! What do you know about your pack other than their names and sex?!".

After realizing what She admitted, She inhaled and exhaled to calm Herself, "A pack of wolves from different packs, they're all very different, I need to know them inside and out to prevent the pack I've worked so hard on from crumbling. So many wolves try to sneak in, destroy my life's work from the inside, but I won't let them."

"You are crazed for power.", the Alpha let out in a bewildered sigh.

"No, I'm crazed for acceptance, freedom, whatever you call it. What's wrong with wolves who tire of their tyrannical Alphas, who want to find somewhere safe to be wolves?"

Light Claw's Alpha saw the Night Sky's Alpha in a different light. I led Axel out of the cabins, leaving the three of them alone. I could tell that was a lot to take in for Axel.

"She knows everything...that's really creepy..."

"She does it for our protection.", I reassured him.

"Wait, you knew about this?", his wide eyes met mine, and I felt somewhat cornered, "Well..."

He looked down at his slippers, "But, isn't that too...invasive?"

I hugged him with my one arm over his shoulders, "She doesn't know everything about us."

"Still. It's just really weird...oh!"

I looked at him, curious, "Back then, when She first told me about you being my tutor, the time She gave me was exactly my birthday! So...She knew we were mates?! Wait how's that-"

"No,", I laughed, "don't jump to conclusions, She doesn't know that much. It started out as me tutoring you, but then I guess She somehow had a lucky guess when you did something before She gave you the date and time."

We walked all the way to his parents house, wondering about our Alpha. How unbelievable She was. It really left us wondering. Even when we were snuggled up in bed, kissing each other goodnight, without Waffles who decided to sleep with Axel's parents.
