Clarke POV
Next day one hour earlier
"Clarke! Help!" Tris's voice shrieked outside and Clarke took off running out the tent she was in with Lexa and used her full speed to get there faster she could see Lexa running after her. Lexa was trying to comfort her to slow down before she hurt herself but Clarke was more worried for whatever was happening. Clarke reached her group that was outside by a fire pit. Bellamy was pacing back and forth his tail and ears out and he was growling as he held his phone to his ear.
"What the fuck do you mean Monty?! How can 52 of our own wolves just vanish?!" Bellamy yelled at the phone. Clarke stumbled over almost hitting the ground thankfully Lexa wrapped her arms around her waist stopping her from falling. Clarke couldn't believe what she heard, 52 of her wolves were missing. Clarke looked around seeing Raven was being forced to sit on Anya's lap as she kept kicking and trying to get away yelling about needing to kill something and Anya was keeping her arms firmly wrapped around her not being able to even budget. Octavia was taking her anger out on a tree tearing into the bark with her claws not even stoppingwhen wood splinter splattered. Lincoln was trying to calm her down to no avail and Tris was looking at her in a panic. Clarke took a deep breath to calm her nerves, then she pulled away from Lexa that kept a hold of her and moved to Raven first. She grabbed her face in both her hands she applied a light pressure at both her temples. Slowly Raven stopped fighting Anya and stilled in her grip.
"I don't need you going psycho on me right now. Raven, cool your shit and get your act together," Clarke demanded, pushing more into her temples until Raven's eyes focused on her and her breathing came out slow and relaxed. Raven nodded her head. Her breathing was still off though she kept pushing at Anya's arms that were still wrapped tightly around her. Clarke looked to Anya and demanded "let go, Raven gets panic attacks when people try pinning her down, its sets her off badly." Anya's eyes widen and she quickly released Raven. Raven automatically got up and moved away. She placed her hand behind her head and began walking towards the forest area. Clarke looked back to Anya she could tell the women wanted to go after her but Clarke shook her head, "Don't. Just give it a minute, she'll come right back to you." Clarke ignored the look of shook on Lexa's face. As moved on to Octavia, she saw Lexa follow after. She watched her approach the raging alpha and tensed up.
"Clarke, I don't think you should be getting close." Lexa worried, but Clarke couldn't think of her worries right now. She was more concerned with Octavia. She had been clawing so hard there was blood coming from under her claws. Without hesitation Clarke slipped under her arms and pulled Octavia towards her hugging her tightly. Octavia's arms wrapped around her and Clarke could feel her claws digging into her waist not caring she was making her bleed. Octavia pulled her even closer, burying her face into the side of Clarke's neck. Clarke knew the others probably thought she was insane, but Clarke knew her wolves. She knew what she had to do to comfort them. Once Octavia slacked in her grip to show she was finally relaxed, she motioned to Lincoln to come forward. Gently she pulled out of Octavia's grip and guided her to Lincoln. Octavia quickly pulled him towards her crushing him in the same way Octavia had done to her earlier. If it had not been for the situation Clarke would have laughed at how Lincoln grunted with how hard Octavia hugged him.
Clarke moved onto Bellamy next. She could see Echo was watching with fascination. Clarke smiled feeling kind of proud that she was able to impress them since no doubt the other wolves were probably watching her in the same way. Bellamy was still yelling at the phone and Clarke walked up behind him and reaching up she grabbed the back his neck and squeezed softly. Instantly he relaxed, even purring softly. Clarke was glad that Echo caught on to what she was doing and replaced her hand with her own. Once Echo's hand rested in the same spot applying a gentle pressure, Clarke moved over and took the phone from Bellamy's hand. Before even putting it to her ear she could hear a lot of voices panicking, especially Monty.
"Hello? Hello! Damn it someone answer Me!"
"Monty enough with the yelling, it's me Clarke. Now take a deep breath then tell me what the hell is going on," Clarke felt her blood run cold as Monty told her about her worst fear by far and she wished desperately that she could smack herself for being so stupid.

Current time
Clarke's heart felt it was about to explode, as through someone clawed through the flesh of her chest and was grabbing her heart, squeezing down on to it like it was a stress ball. Yet she had to be the level headed one, to be calm and be able to solve this whole mess.
Why me? Why do I always have to be the one to try to solve this mess? I shouldn't have accepted Lexa's offer, I should have gone home. I know what's fucking going on back home, yet I had to be selfish and only think about what I wanted to do…
Just a few hours ago Monty had told her what had happen while she and the others were away. Before Clarke had taken off to see Lexa she had left Monty and Jasper in charge to look after everyone just to make sure everyone one was safe and in their rooms. Clarke asked him to go to each 100 member and check up on them but of course the world hated her and chose that while she was gone that things went to hell. Monty and Jasper had gone about each hotel suit which housed a 100 member to make sure they were fine and things were good until they reached Janine. Janine's tag number being 52, Clarke felt sicker at the fact that her wolves, 1-52 were gone. Clarke wasn't stupid, she knew instantly where they were which meant her mother found her so called cure. And the woman she once loved and cared for deeply was killing her pack members all because of her twisted ideas that the wolf was a virus. Clarke reached up touching her collar, 53-100 were the only ones that have yet to be caged up and 48 of her friends were safe. Clarke could not chance their safety and ordered Monty to get everyone out right away and head to the gate and they would be there soon to help the 48 wolves to go to the sanctuary (after Lexa was fine with it of course).
The small group was currently outside the gate of Arkadia helping to sneak out the last members of her pack. Lexa had been so kind enough to bring several vans and members of her own pack to come and pick them up. Thankfully they had no trouble getting everyone out and into the vans. She had to beg Bellamy to go back with them, the pack was scared enough as they were and Bellamy only gave in after most of the pack pleaded for him to stay with them. Clarke looked over every member one more time before giving the signal to Lexa that her wolves were free to take off. Lexa had Indra in charge of leading them safely back home to the sanctuary. Clarke didn't particularly like her, but she was a loyal wolf and vowed she would keep her pack mates safe. Indra had apologized for her behavior towards her expressing her concern that she could have been a threat but gave in when Clarke had asked Lexa to be her soulmate. Indra had even told her she was happy to see that Lexa and herself would become soulmates seeing as bonding two souls together was a sacred and not just some light-hearted girlfriend ties. Clarke had to put her trust in her that she'd keep her word and she did trust Lexa. Obviously, she wouldn't have assigned Indra for the task if she wasn't trustworthy.
Clarke watched as the four vans left, her heart pinching a little for not being able to comfort everyone before they had to go. But right now, she had to stay focused on the plans she and Lexa had set. It was sooner than Clarke liked but this new development called for drastic measures. Clarke sighed looking at Lexa who stood beside her. Clarke couldn't believe the crazy alpha had actually stayed with her, well her and Anya. Clarke's eyes drifted down to her neck were a small brown pouch hung around her neck, inside the pouch was their moonstone. They hadn't had the time to break the stone in two so each could carry one. So, Lexa was keeping a hold of it, treating the little pouch like it was the most valuable thing in the world. Clarke smiled she reached out and grabbed the pouch gently squeezing it to reassure herself that everything will work out. Lexa had titled her head up to allow Clarke to grab the pouch but only Clarke was allowed to touch it she would tear off as anyone else limb who dared to touch the sacred stone.
The only pack mates that stayed behind were Raven, Monty, and Jasper. Clarke felt strange not having Octavia and Lincoln with them but again she felt it was best that they went with the others. Octavia was numbered 53 and Clarke wanted to keep her far away from her mother. Clarke refused to allow her mother the chance to get a hold of Octavia, not a chance in hell.
"Alright I brought enough to cover everyone, main problem with this crap is you can't get wet or it comes right off," Jasper explained as he began to spray down Lexa and Anya. Clarke watched as Jasper sprayed down the two, both kept their faces neutral but it was easy to see that it bothered them.
"How can you stand to do this to yourself?" Anya asked not really aiming the question at anyone. She lifted her arm up sniffing at the spot that Jasper had sprayed. She snorted and rubbed at her nose.
"Easy hot stuff, we've been doing this since birth. Actually, the way we are right now is the first time I've ever been without it," Raven answered taking the spray from Jasper and hosing herself down including Clarke. This took Clarke by surprise as Raven just sprayed her down heavily and she quickly rubbed the spray in.
"This has been my second time without the spray. It's really weird to be without in a way," Clarke muttered as she patted herself down rubbing in the spray thoroughly and then helped Raven rub in the spray on her back. She could see Lexa watching her and mirroring her actions and helping Anya in the same way.
"But isn't it incredible being without it? I can only imagine this stuff gets in the way to even smell anything around you. Don't you miss being able to smell everything?" Lexa finished rubbing herself and Anya down, then she looked to Clarke questions swimming in her eyes. Clarke wished she could answer all of them but now wasn't the time.
"You can't miss something you've never had Lexa," Clarke muttered irritated yet again of the enviousness she had for the Trikru wolves. Lexa was right though, when she and the others washed the scent back at the sanctuary (and was fighting off a mad wolf) she was hit with a wave of new smells and it was incredible. Clarke could smell the dirt and mud a deep earth scent; the full fragrance of the flowers so much that she could actually tasted it; the trees a rich deep oaky scent. Clarke never knew how much she was missing the first time her spray washed off, that mad wolf never actually gave her chance to appreciate the new smells.
"I didn't mean to offend you Clarke. I was just voicing what I was thinking," Lexa face fell a little and Clarke quickly moved forward to pull her into a hug.
"No, I'm sorry that came out a lot harsher then I meant to," Clarke pulled Lexa closer and finally understood why Lexa was so bothered when she was not able to smell Clarke the first time that they met. Just with having Lexa held close to her, Clarke couldn't smell the pine tree and honey scent that she had grown used to. She had gotten so used to the scent it was such a comfort but now there was nothing. She sighed as she felt Lexa wrap her arms around her holding her close. Clarke could feel the moonstone pressing between them and she could have sworn that the small pouch was warmer than before.
"I hate to interrupt, I really do, but we need to get going before anyone realizes the Ark assholes lost the other half of their lab rats," Monty assured moving ahead heading for the back gates. Clarke sighed letting go of Lexa but held onto her hand, pulling her towards her car. Clarke was happy that only two other people were going to join in her car. That way people wouldn't be cramped.
"You don't know that! Don't say shit like that dude," Jasper whined softly. Monty looked back, looking guilty and he softly punished his arm.
"Sorry, but still we have to hurry," Monty looked to Clarke first before she nodded her approval. He headed off first. He pushed the gates open and looked around. Once it was clear he signaled to Clarke it was safe. She nodded and started her car once everyone was crammed inside and Lexa was lucky to get in the passenger seat. Clarke waited till everyone one was seated then flashed her lights to Monty who was still waiting at the gate. He pushed open one side of the gate with Jaspers help. Clarke felt more concerns sit in her belly at how much risk they were taking. They have tampered with the electronics more times in this month than any other and she was sure someone had noticed. Clarke knew the counsel have bumped up the boys. Monty now 88 and Jasper now 60. She wondered whether or not that was a good thing because yes, they didn't get taken but that also meant that they were next.
Clarke took a deep breath and drove inside the horrible place she had to call home. Clarke didn't pay much attention as Anya and Lexa looked around the city in fascination much like Lincoln had done the first time he came here. She was more concerned in what she would do first. Their plan for now was to gather blue prints of the Ark tower to be able to mark out all exit routes that they would use to sneak out her pack and Lexa's pack members. Then Clarke needed to find a way in the lab to look over charts and see what her mother has been using on Lexa's wolves and see what damages have been done to them and to see if it was reversible. She also had to get Raven inside to hack into the Ark's tech lab to gather more evidence of what Jaha and her mother were doing to innocent wolves. After they gathered all the information she would ask Raven and Monty to organize the evidence to expose Jaha's actions to all of the Ark pack and prove his wrong doings and to put a stop to the Ark wolves' experiments.
"Clarke, did you notice?" Raven whispered in the silence of the car, her voice on edge. Clarke looked around confused for a moment until she realized what it was that Raven noticed.
"All the humans are gone..." Clarke whispered she gripped the stirring wheel tightly, her hands and knuckles turning white. "What the hell is going on?"
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Clarke was currently parked to the side of building instead of her normal spot in front of the tower. Clarke looked around only seeing other Ark wolves walking around heading towards the building since night time was close. The guards were posted outside to make sure only the Ark wolves were getting inside. Clarke swallowed the lump in her throat, she was feeling extremely nervous. The thought of seeing her mother was setting her on edge. Clarke had gone out of her way to stay away from her mother. Avoiding her completely when she was home for a few days. She was successful for the most part and on the last day Clarke even asked her mother for permission to leave the city to grab more material from Polis. Her mother asked about the healer's book that she had gotten last time from Polis and not seeing the harm in it, Clarke handed it over since it was impossible for her to read the language. Once Clarke handed over the ancient book her mother approved of her leaving the city again and went about her merry fucking way to go off to the "hospital" to do her disgusting work. Clarke nearly bursted at that moment and she ended up extending her claws and tearing into marble kitchen counter. Clarke had left behind some very visible and destroyed expensive counter; it was a tiny victory but it made Clarke feel good.
Only Clarke and Lexa were in the car while the others were asked by Clarke to do their jobs far away from any guards or council members. Monty and Jasper were working on hacking into monitors inside the building now at level 40. They were to download all information for now and the files would be looked over once they were not in Arkadia. Raven and Anya were checking out the back side of the building taking pictures all around the area to think of escape routes. While Clarke and Lexa's plan were to find a way into Jaha's office to get the blueprints because the man had to be smart enough to keep more important information on paper rather than computers. Her mother was useless when it came to getting her hands of the Ark's personal information. She didn't keep anything in the apartment that could be of use to Clarke.
Clarke figured it wouldn't be too hard to get into his office since she had a pastry order to give him something he requested of her a while ago. Clarke was able to get away with not filling the order in right away because she gave the excuse that earning her medical license was more important than some pastry order. The only problem now was that she had to sneak Lexa inside with her, past all the Ark wolves and all the way up to her hotel room level, which of course had to be near the fucking top.
"It will be fine Clarke, don't worry so much. Like you said, we are just gathering some blueprints and evidence," Lexa's sweet calming voice called out to Clarke and brought her back to reality. Clarke looked to Lexa taking in her beauty. she smiled at the calm the alpha brought her. Clarke leaned over grabbing her hands and faced her fully and Lexa did the same.
"Yea that's right, just gathering info for now then we take these assholes down," Clarke squeezed Lexa's hands. Clarke was astonished at the woman in front of her she was so incredible. After Clarke was able to prove to her that just because she was technology a minor when they first met it wasn't an issue anymore. Lexa had calmed down significantly though she was firm with Anya to behave herself until Raven was of the proper age. Clarke couldn't believe that was so lucky to have found a woman like Lexa. A woman a few years older than her, ran a sanctuary and a pack all on her own. She was gorgeous, strong, proud and she was true to her nature. She didn't hide behind these walls like Clarke has done most of her life. Lexa stood proud and fought for what she believed in.
"Exactly, we can do this. I know you can do this Clarke. You have the heart of an alpha nothing can stop you," Lexa cupped her cheek and Clarke leaned into the touch humming as she enjoyed the gentle hand. She chuckled softly kissing her wrist.
"You sound just like my friends. they are always telling me things like that," Clarke leaned over her seat pulling on Lexa's hands to meet her in the middle as she leaned her forehead against her own and stared into Lexa's radiant forest green eyes.
"They're not wrong. I know have we known each other for only two months at most but it feels like I've known you for all my life. It makes me so incredibly happy that we will become soulmates," Lexa whispered softly. Her breath tickled Clarke's face but it made her smile as she leaned in closing the small distance between them. Once her lips meet Lexa's she savored Lexa's taste. Lexa's scent may not be there but Clarke could taste it in a weird but amazing way. Clarke pushed into the kiss more, pushing Lexa back into the passenger seat practically claiming over the middle and onto Lexa's lap.
"I know, it makes me so happy that words aren't enough to describe how much I'm looking forward to biting you and making you mine," Clarke breathed out after moving back a little but Lexa kissed her back with such a ferocious passion.
"Maybe we can mate once we are back home? I want the world to know that you are mine and that I am yours. I love you Clarke, so much I can't bare even being apart from you," Lexa whispered back, pulling Clarke back in for another deep kiss. Clarke felt like she was walking on clouds. Lexa loved her so much and she wasn't even afraid to say it, it made her want to howl with joy.
Xxxxxxxx NSFW!xxxxxxxxX
Clarke reached to the side and pulled the lever to push the passenger seat down so she would have a little more room to sit on Lexa's lap properly. Clarke moved back a little breathing in heavily to gather air in her lungs. Lexa hadn't bothered to wait, kissing down to what was exposed of Clarke's neck nipping down all the way to her collar bone. Clarke could feel the glide of her teeth slowly slipping against her skin and it left a hot trail of longing coursing through her.
Clarke let out a small moan relishing the feeling of her mate to be soft lips tickling the surface of her skin. Clarke's mind was getting foggy forgetting where she was, only thinking how amazing it felt to have Lexa teeth slither against her heated flesh.
Clarke eagerly pushed Lexa's head up and crashed her lips against hers pushing her tongue into Lexa's mouth letting her tongue trace all around the inside of her mouth. Clarke was panting so hard that her car felt like a heater; she so glad she had rolled down the windows half way otherwise things would be way to hot inside. Lexa's deep moans brought Clarke back into the kiss, Lexa's hands gripping the side of Clarke's hips she thrust her hips up grinding against her pelvis. Clarke moaned louder then she wanted, Lexa was being much rougher then the first time they slept together, but Clarke didn't mind. She loved the feeling of a rough Lexa.
Clarke thrust down against Lexa's pelvis again, enjoying the friction that sparked between them. Lexa nipped at Clarke's bottom lip hard and Clarke hummed grinding against Lexa harder. Lexa let out a deep growl and before Clarke could processes what happened next her jeans had been pulled down to her thighs and Lexa's eager fingers were rubbing across her slick folds. Clarke let out a shaky breath pressing against Lexa's hand savoring how her fingers glided over her clit. Before Clarke could grind down on Lexa's fingers again Lexa moved her hand away and Clarke whimpered at the loss.
"Something wrong my love?" Lexa growled out taunting. Lexa's mouth drifted down from Clarke's lips slowly running her lips down Clarke's jaw to her ear lobe. Lexa's hand drifted back to Clarke's sex her fingers brushing over her entrance, "Seems like you want something," Lexa purred out into her ear. Clarke felt her tongue lick just below her earlobe and bite her softly. Clarke whimpered again trying to grind against Lexa's hand but she took her hand back before Clarke could earn the much-desired contact.
"Don't tease me Lexa," Clarke whined out, she leaned forward grabbing Lexa's bottom lip biting down roughly rather enjoying the small hiss and purr that Lexa responded with. Clarke could feel her smirking, she felt Lexa's fingers dragging over her entrance again and Clarke whined she wouldn't be able take the taunting soon.
"Does my mate to be want my fingers inside of her?" Lexa whispered haughtily her mouth was back at Clarke's collarbone her breath feeling cold with the heat between them. Clarke bit her own lip. Lexa wanted her to beg for it. If she wasn't so close already she probably wouldn't give into the teasing, but she felt the tensing desire to feel Lexa inside of her core. Her core was throbbing painfully with the need to be penetrated and Clarke could feel how wet she was as it ran down between her legs. Lexa's teasing tongue drifted lower into the value of Clarke's breast. She suddenly bit the top of her breast and Clarke gasped with the pleasure that shot through her.
"Fuck! Damn it all, y-y-yes I want your fingers inside me!" Clarke gasped out and Lexa chuckled being all too willing to slowly push her fingers inside of Clarke's hot sex. Lexa continued to bite the top of Clarke's breast and Clarke knew that there would definitely be a mark which only made Clarke grow more excited. Clarke moved her hips in time to Lexa's fingers plunging deep inside of her. Clarke needing more momentum and gripped onto Lexa's shoulders digging her claws into her flesh as she rode on Lexa's fingers. Clarke let out deep rasping moans growing louder as Lexa's moved her mouth to her other breast. Clarke could hear the fabric of her shirt tear as Lexa pulled her shirt down and shoved her bra aside to take a harden nipple into her mouth. With one rough nip of Lexa's teeth at her nipple Clarke came and she had to cover her own mouth before she could howl out Lexa's name.
Clarke kept her tight grip on Lexa's shoulder as she rode out her orgasm and slowly Clarke was able to breathe again and Lexa pulled her fingers out. Before Lexa could lick off her fingers Clarke gripped her wrist and brought the hand to her mouth and sucked off her own juices making Lexa growl deeply with longing. Clarke smirked seeing the alpha blushing and her fangs poking out as she eyed her hungrily. Clarke gently moved back and gripped Lexa's hips pushing on her gently. Lexa getting the message wiggled up the seat with just enough room for Clarke to slide down between Lexa's legs. Unlike Lexa, Clarke wasn't planning on taunting her (at least not too much). Clarke was quick to undue her jeans and yanked them down taking the liberty of lightly scratching her legs down till her jeans slipped down to her ankles.
Clarke kissed up the inside of Lexa's legs watching her instantly and she could see Lexa shaking with anticipation as Clarke got closer to where Lexa surely wanted her. Clarke groaned at the visible wet spot on Lexa's panties, she licked her lips. Just for the hell of its Clarke leaned down and dragged her tongue over the wet spot making Lexa buck her hips.
"Now be a good little alpha and lift your hips for me," Clarke commanded and Lexa willingly obeyed, lifting her hips high enough for Clarke to pull down her panties; though Lexa did snap her teeth when the omega had commanded her. However, Lexa showed no signs of wanting Clarke to stop. Clarke wasted no time and gently pushed Lexa's legs apart, just for a bit of revenge for making Clarke beg earlier. She sank her teeth into the inside of Lexa's thighs making the alpha gasp and groan as Clarke sucked roughly at the skin determined to leave her own mark.
"C-c-Clarke p-p-please, I want your mouth somewhere else," Lexa groaned out and Clarke pulled back smirking, loving the sound of the big proud Heda begging her to please her. Clarke chuckled and leaned into Lexa's sex using her hand to push apart her folds she dove her tongue inside. Lexa quickly placed her hands on her head and pushed down on Clarke's head pushing her tongue deeper inside of her. Lexa grinned her hips down on Clarke's tongue moaning low as Clarke flicked her tongue between penetrating her entrance and teasing her clit. Clarke moved her hand up tickling the inside of Lexa's thighs as she pushed a finger between her soaked folds. Tasting Lexa's sweet yet bitter juices made her mind spin and wanting to eat every last drop the alpha had to offer. Clarke began pushing in and out of Lexa's core enjoying each time Lexa rocked her hips against Clarke's vibrant tongue. Not too long after, Lexa growled low sending a vibration throughout her body as Lexa's legs clamped around Clarke's head pushing the omega harder against her clit before letting out a breathless howl. Clarke waited until Lexa released her head before slowly crawling up Lexa's body to kiss her alpha deeply. Lexa did her best to return the kiss but her energy was drained, Clarke chuckled before kissing her lips and moving back.
Xxxxxxxxxxxx End of NSFWxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxX
"I believe you owe me a new shirt?" Clarke joked looking down sure enough her entire front shirt was torn down to her stomach thankful her bra was intact. Clarke put her bra back in place and pulled up her jeans, she lifted her hips allowing Lexa to fix her own clothes. Clarke noticed Lexa had managed to remove the pouch so nothing could happen to it and slipped it back around her neck,
"If we get to do this again soon, then I will buy you a hundred shirts," Lexa laughed as her clothes were finally in place, Lexa stared at Clarke's breast though making the omega smack her shoulder.
"No more! We have to get moving," Clarke laughed shaking her head at her, she glanced down at her own breast she had two very large visible bite marks right on top both of her breast, "Really Lexa? How the hell I'm supposed to cov-" the passenger door suddenly was yanked open and she was snatched off of Lexa's lap. Clarke wasted no time fighting back using her claws to tear at the hand that held a fest full of her hair. The person that grabbed her suddenly shoved her to the ground and Clarke snapped around ready to fight whoever had the nerve to handle her so roughly. Only to stop in shook as the person that had yanked her out was quickly fighting off Lexa who reached for her throat but then the person placed a collar on Lexa's throat making Lexa freeze up and try to tear off the material that was now choking her. The mystery person turned around and Clarke gawked to come face to face with a very familiar bookstore owner.
"Luna?! What the hell are you doing here?"
Clarke yelled out running to Lexa making sure she was ok; she had fallen to the floor trying to catch her breath but Luna grabbed her by her hair again and yanked her back. Clarke cried out trying to free herself from the grip but Luna tangled her fingers in her hair making it impossible. "Luna! What the fuck!? Let me go!" Clarke growled baring her fangs angrily she fought against Luna but then Luna reared back punching Clarke in the middle of her stomach making her double over in pain. Luna let go of Clarke allowing her to curl up holding onto her stomach. Clarke looked up panting as stared up at the form women she once thought to be the sweetest person in the world. Luna looked down at her with such distaste like she was the most vial thing to ever live.
"You are such a stupid girl Clarke; did you really think any of this was going to work out the way you wanted it to?" Luna hissed and Clarke watched in shock as Luna bared her own fangs a tail sprouting out, "I find it hilarious that you actually believed you could sneak out all your friends!" Luna crouched down grabbing Clarke by her hair she yanked her up until she was at her eye level. Clarke bit back her cry of pain meeting Luna's eyes regretfully, "Sadly for you, we guessed you'd play that game and now we have all the 100 rebel criminals," Luna smirked in a playful way. Clarke growled, her pain forgotten she bared her fangs at Luna and Luna actually scrunched up her face in disgust.
"You're a wolf?!" Clarke snarled out, Luna scowled rearing her fist back she punched Clarke in her throat. Clarke coughed up violently she could feel her face turning red from the strain on her windpipe. She tried gulping up air as Luna laughed at her misery.
"Don't call me that, I'm not a fucking animal," Luna chuckled standing up again but Clarke wasn't able to stand up as she curled up into herself holding on to her aching areas. But that didn't stop Luna from kicking into her ribs and make her turn over to stare up at her. "Well not for long thanks to Abigail Griffin. She has found the cure to rid us of the monster that sleeps inside us! Isn't that great Clarke? And all it took was testing out the solution on 2,680 wild animals and 52 criminals to finally find the cure. May Gaia save their poor lost souls," Luna faked a cry smiling in a sickening way and Clarke felt vomit rise in her throat she heaved out to the side riding of the little things she contained in her stomach,
"She found the cure?" Clarke whispered heaving up again but nothing came up the new piece of information made her sick. Clarke was sure she had more time! She was sure that there was still time to stop her mother! It has only been a few days since she last listens to the recording from Octavia, her mother hadn't been close. What the hell had changed?! Luna was cruel enough to laugh again.
"Abigail is a pure generous, unlike that German bitch who only fucked everything up. But you know what's the best part Clarke?" Luna was closer whispering in her ear, Clarke was far too much in shook to swat her away. "You helped find the cure by coming into my shop and buying my exclusive Healers Guide your mom found an interesting plant in the book that I translated for her and it was the extra edge she needed. Want to know which plant it was?" Luna mocked. Clarke shook her head slowly she saw movement in the corner of her seeing Lexa had managed to calm the choking material on her throat, she was getting ready to attack Luna, "It was the primrose, who would have guessed right? The happy drug has quite the interesting effect when mixed with your mothers' solution," Lexa was crouched low ready to pounce.
"Go float yourself Luna!" Clarke snarled turning around she extended her claws and slushed across Luna's face in a snap black blood sprayed everywhere and Luna screamed out in pain howling out horribly. But it didn't stop there, Lexa tackled her down to the floor pining her against the floor she brought a fist against her cheek and a loud crake was heard. Clarke backed away quickly to get away from the tangling fight of the two women. Luna managed to get lose and toss Lexa away from her but just as Lexa made her way to snap at Luna's neck Luna screamed at the top of her lungs.
"RUHE!"
Clarke screamed out instantly in ghastly pain, her blood coming alive boiling her from the inside. She could see Lexa had fallen over in pain clawing at the collar around her throat yelping trying desperately to get the offense torture devise off. Clarke felt tears fall down her cheeks at both her own and Lexa's pain,
I'm sorry Lexa, I'm so so sorry for ever getting you involved. Please Gaia make the pain stop!
Clarke squeezed her eyes shut and thanked the stars as the blackout came and the pain vanished with it. Before the peaceful release took a hold of her completely she swore she could hear her mother calling out to her in horror,
"Clarke sweetie...better...over soon...take them... lab,"

"Cl-"
"Cla…rk…w-wa"
"Wa-"
"Ge-t u-p…!"
Clarke stirred her head ached, her brain felt like it was pulsating pushing against the inside of her skull forcefully. She whined at the pain she felt. She shook her head trying to get rid of the pain.
"Clarke!"
"Clarke… get up!"
Two familiar voices screamed on either side of her. She wanted to yell at them to shut up. Her head was killing her. It felt like her brain was trying to jump out of her of her eye sockets. But the voice on her left wouldn't quiet down determined that she would wake up,
"Get up! Now Clarke! Your wolves need you!"
"Lexa?" Clarke slurred, she moved to a sitting position banging her head above her, a loud ringing going off in her ears. "Ow! Fuck!" Clarke squeezed the sides of her temple curling in on herself, "son of a bitch" she growled rubbing at the sore spot.
"Are you ok?" Lexa's voice whined softly. Clarke felt a hand rub her arm. She nodded slowly opening her eyes she blinked a few times trying to clear the muck of sleep out of them. But once her eyes cleared up she wanted to close her eyes back up and never open them again. The sight before her made her want to vomit.
###### Warning Graphic violence coming up##### if you like to skip this part you may; look for this #Safe point# to continue on to the story
In front of her were her friends locked in cages, each one stripped down to an ugly yellow hospital gown. Everyone was whimpering, whining, screaming, to be let out some grabbed at the cages they were locked in shacking them violently banged the cages against wall. Some called out to Clarke to help them, begging to know how they will escape. Some yelled insults blaming her for being in the situation all together. The room reeked of bleach, medicine and blood. They were inside a small room the walls painted white but spots of dried blood were covered on the pale white surface. The lights so bright it stung her eyes at the ferries glare that reflected off the metal cages bounced back shining in her eyes. But their cries didn't compare to the sickening image before her.
Josh number 50, was lying on top of a steal table with straps around his wrists, ankle, and throat. Josh was shacking all over, whining out with each movement he was in pain. Blood was pooled under his torso dripping off the sides of the table he was strapped on to. Even at the top of his head crimson was collected in his light brown hair making it look rusted and brown. At the right side towards the top of his head was a neat line of medical devices stained in scarlet. But the worst was the large steal box that sat beside the table, even from where Clarke was caged. She could see inside there was dismantled body parts of tails and ears piled high.
Clarke wanted to look away. She was terrified. She covered her mouth with both her hands keeping herself from screaming as she recognized who the body parts once belonged to. Clarke stomach heaved trying to push out anything inside her, she gaged chocking at the horror. Her mind spun with questions as to how her mother could be so cruel...No this woman was no longer her mother… this woman was only Abigail the most disgusting and fowl thing to ever wake the earth. Clarke tried taking a deep breath to calm herself but she only gaged at practically tasting the blood and morphine covering the room.
#Safe point#
(For those who skipped, a quick in sight without being too graphic. Basically, it's mountain weather when they had the 48 caged but instead of taking bone marrow they are taking away anything wolf)
"Clarke, focus! We need to get out of here!" Bellamy's voice reached her ears she looked to the side seeing Bellamy caged up just like her. Clarke glanced back to the table seeing the monitors keeping track of Josh process, his heart monitor was beeping too quickly,
"We have to help him," Clarke whispered. She scooted to the front of her cage she grabbed the bars shacking it roughly, "Someone! Help him! He needs help!" Clarke screamed out her voice over coming everyone's. She screamed again louder not caring how much her vocal cords begged her to stop. "You can't let him die! He needs help! I know someone is fucking listening! Who'd be stupid enough to leave us all alone like this?!" Rage filled Clarke, her fears subsiding as she shook at her bars harder. Clarke sat back and began kicking at the bars not caring she was bare footed and she could feel the bruises forming but still she kicked harder creating a ringing sound echoing throughout the room, "fucking cowards! Help him!" She screamed out more kicking harder and harder her foot began to hurt but still kept banging against the metal. All fell silent as the ringing sound echoed throughout the room, all listening to Clarke failing attempts to free herself.
"CLARKE! Stop! He's gone!" Lexa screamed at her making Clarke stop all together. Clarke was panting hard; her whole body numb of any feeling but as her breathing slowed she came back to reality and could feel the oncoming bruises that would form on her foot. Clarke pushed back till her back rested against the cage. She pulled her knees up wrapping her arms around herself; she buried her face into her legs doing her best to ignore the long beep from the monitor. Clarke's composure cracked. She kept it together when her father was floated and her mother ignored his death; when her mother left her on her own; when each time the guards abused her; when she and Tris were attached by the mad wolf; when her heat hit her full force; when she found out she was mutt and her mother willingly used her like a lab rat; when she learned the wolves history; when she found out her mother's dirty secrets; and even when Monty told her that her wolves had been kidnapped. But this… this was the last strand that broke Clarke's strength.
"I failed everyone..." Clarke whispered, a sob caught in her throat as the words passed her lips as she held herself tighter. Her insides stung knowing for certain that 53 of her own wolves died the same way as Josh. Every wolf laid in the same place strapped down against their will, being poked and probed with needles, having a part of their bodies be chopped off. Each of her wolves laid on the cold metal table feeling terrified of what was to come. They all waited for their own deaths to bliss them from the hell they were going through.
"You didn't fail them princess Nuntis," Bellamy whispered besides her. Clarke pulled back looking over to him she sniffed a little trying to clear away the tears. "You only fail them if you give up," he whispered placing his hand up against his own cage towards her. Clarke looked over to Lexa and reached out for her hand and Lexa quickly reached through the bars and held her hand tightly. Lexa was dressed down the same as everyone else and on her throat was her own collar that read 2. Clarke was able to see that she managed to keep a hold of their moon stone it hung around her neck tucked away inside the hospital gown. Lexa saw her staring at it and she reached up taking it off her neck she motioned for Clarke to move closer and once she did, Lexa slipped the pouch necklace around her neck.
"You haven't failed Clarke…Bellamy is right you only fail if you give up. You are a fighter omega and you are an alpha!" Lexa spoke firmly and squeezed her hand. Clarke sniffled, tears still dripping down her cheeks as she looked back at her mate to be. She reached up to the pouch that now hung around her neck and she gripped it in her hand firmly taking a small comfort at feeling the warm stone. Clarke wanted to accept the words she was hearing to allow that peace to wash over her but her heart was throbbing in her chest painfully.
"But… Look where we are Lexa…" Clarke whispered sniffled more tears running down her face. Lexa pulled on her hand tell Clarke moved closer and Lexa did her best to hug her close.
"My beautiful omega, we will get out of here. I know we will survive this," Lexa soothed her hands rubbing up and down Clarke's arms. Clarke pressed as close as possible to her alpha as much as the steel bars would let her.
"But how do we survive after this? What kind of life can we have with this kind of dark history?" Clarke allowed more tears to fall down her cheeks, as she felt the pain eat at her heart. "Shouldn't life be about more than just surviving?" Clarke whispered so softly she wasn't sure if Lexa had heard her, but she did because see felt Lexa's lip brush across her cheek,
"Life is about more than just surviving. My pack will show you that my love. Every form of life has had their dark time but that does not mean we let it ruin our future. Don't you dare let them win, don't you dare let them break you spirt!" Lexa squeezed her arms a little more painfully, "You are not weak and you most defiantly will not die here!" Lexa growled out and Clarke felt that little crack in her composer seal over and Clarke was able to give her mate to be a true smile.
Lexa is right. This won't be the end and I'll be damned if I let Abigail win this fight! I won't let her live. I'll take her down and Jaha along with her. Everyone who has caused any of us harm will surfer tenfold!
"Thank you, Lexa... how long have we been in here?" Clarke croaked out moving her hand away she glanced around searching for a cloak. Though she was momentarily distracted as her eyes landed on Lexa, who smiled softly at her and she moved closer to her. Thankfully her hand could reach through the bars and she was able to at least cup her cheek. Lexa leaned into her touch kissing her palm.
"We've been here about an hour, not very long but I'll tell some good news Anya and Raven were not caught. They aren't here with us, I know for certain that Anya is already planning out how to get us out at least," Lexa smiled clearly trying to help Clarke feel better but Clarke was more concerned of the collar on Lexa's throat and it made her very uncomfortable to think what that could mean. "And Octavia and Lincoln weren't caught either they managed to get away when the Ark pack ambushed them."
"I'm so sorry Lexa... I'm sorry you had to witness this..." Clarke rubbed her cheek with her thumb as a tear leaked from her eye falling down her cheek. Lexa glanced over to the form wolf. Her eyes hardened as she looked back to Clarke, taking her hand in both of hers.
"Don't say sorry, you did not cause this. You are not the one who is experimenting on these poor wolves. Yes, I feel pain knowing my wolves are and have been treated the same way but this will not slow me down, this only fuels me to avenge their deaths," Lexa pulled her hand up and kissed the back of her hand. Clarke laughed shaking her head.
"Your incredible you know, that right?" Clarke whispered to her. She held on to her hand as Clarke went back to looking around her seeing what could be of use. Some of her friends began to notice she was awake now and many flooded her with questions on how they could escape. The noises were picking up and Clarke worried that someone would come and shut them up with force, "Stop! Everyone stops! You need to be calm, if they see us with so much energy the-" Clarke swallowed hard forcing the words out "then you'll be next to be strapped in so don't bring attention to yourself!" she whispers. Finally, the room fell silent giving her more of a chance to clear her mind. Looking around she could see many medical supplies to the side, a wall of charts, the cages that held them, and only two doors across the room. One marked with, "end containment area" and the other was bare nothing written on it. Clarke released Lexa's hand and moved forward. She stuck her hand out touching the lock cursing that there were no dead bolts, just a flat screen to press in numbers to unlock.
"Monty? Where are you?" Clarke called out looking around for him seeing him a few cages down. Harper was beside him and Jasper was under his cage. Jasper had his back turned to the metal table his hand pressed through the bars to hold onto Monty's hand for comfort.
"Here, already know what you are going to ask. I can't open them from this side. I would need a computer and be on the other side of this place to know how to break out," Monty hung his head. Clarke bit her bottom lip disappointed as she looked around for something else. There was Raven, she could probably get them out but how would she know where they were? If only there was a way she could reach her but before she could really break things down a loud beep was heard above them. Lexa let out a deep growl, her fangs bared fully looking towards the blank door as only two people came inside. Clarke had to move closer to see who it was only to squirm back as one people ran towards her cage banging the outside of the cage.
"You damn whore! You disfigured my perfect face!" Luna was staring at Clarke like a mad dog. Clarke kept far back as possible as Luna tried to reach in to grab her. With how close Luna was, Clarke could see she really did mess up her face; three deep gashes ran across her face diagonally from her chin all the way across her eyes and up to her temple. The claw marks were stenched up in a crapy way that would surely scar horribly. Clarke couldn't help but laugh, making Luna growl at her.
"You fucked with the wrong omega, bitch," Clarke snarled at her baring her own fangs at her, smirking as Luna snapped her teeth. Luna's eyes filled with murderess attent but then she stopped trying to grab her and smirked back at Clarke in the cruelest way. Without taking her eyes off of Clarke she called back to the person behind her.
"Dog! Toss 53 down the chute," Luna moved back looking towards the girl behind them the girl was shacking a little. She glanced up,
"But Abby sa-"
"Mind your place mutt! You don't get a say in this! Do as your told," Luna hissed at the girl and only then did she move quickly beginning to unfasten Josh from the table.
"You lost your mind Luna, this is what you choice? To work with the lesser life forms just to feel in control?" Lexa spoke up beside her. Clarke worried what would become of her. Luna moved over to Lexa's cage looking in at her she smirked titling her head and simply said.
"Foto jus," and Lexa whimpered shaking her head clawing at the collar on her neck. "How does it feel to be locked up Commander? Do you still feel like you have authority?" Luna spat out. Clarke felt all her teeth sharpened and she wanted to use them on her. Clarke moved forward getting ready to grab her but then a movement to the side caught her eye she looked over seeing the girl Luna referred to as Dog shook her head at her.
"I am Heda, alpha of the pack you chose to abandon," Lexa growled out. Clarke was surprised she hadn't passed out already. But she was concerned of the girl that moved Josh off the table with such care like he was still alive placing him gently besides the marked door.
"You are one to talk! So, you thought you'd return the favor?!" Luna snarled out getting Clarke's attention, failing to notice Dog had moved closer to where she was but then Dog tapped on the side of the cage softly, making Clarke look over seeing her pass a piece of folded paper through the bars to Bellamy who quickly grabbed it discreetly.
"I did what was right for my pack," Lexa growled back getting Clarke to turn her attention to them as Dog had moved to the metal table beginning to clean off the table.
"By allowing the sick wolves to take me!?" Luna snapped her jaws again. Lexa actually looked guilty but she kept her features strong. Clarke wondered what the hell the two of them were talking about. Lexa had told her all about her history of her pack but she told her few things about blackbloods.
"It was either you or the pups. The pups need to be rescued before you Luna. You know that better than anyone else," Lexa spook gently but that only seemed to piss Luna off more as she hit the outside of the cage.
"Fuck you Heda! I was saving them from a life like my own!" Luna hit the outside of the cage again and then turned sharply to Dog who whipped down the table spotless, "Take 2 out now!" She yelled at Dog and the girl moved over quickly tapping the screen and unlocking Lexa's cage. Clarke expected Lexa to fight or defend herself but Lexa didn't fight at all. Instead she let Dog help her out of the cage and only then did Clarke realize that Lexa had a electrodes over her heart, collar bone, and thighs. Lexa wobbled in place not even able to stand up right, a small tube was attached to the electrodes over her heart, Clarke watched as Dog strapped Lexa in and she contacted the tubes to a blood bag.
"Stop it! What is wrong with you?! You twisted bitch!" Clarke screamed out banging at the bars again. Luna looked back at irritated.
"Pipe down 100, unless you want me to command it? I'm sure your wolves would appreciate that?" Luna taunted making Clarke stop all together. She moved closer to her cage looking on at her. "You act as though Heda is perfect, but you don't even know about her biggest mistake towards a wolf member," Luna stared at her a little more before moving over to Lexa's side looking down at her. Clarke had to admire that Lexa still kept a stoic face baring her fangs at her.
"That's doesn't concern her, stop it," Lexa commanded growling deeply but Luna only laughed reaching out she tapped at Lexa's collar.
"Don't bother. This little baby was made for cursed blood like ours to keep your powers restricted and to punish you for when you miss behave," Luna looked down at Lexa with such disgust her hands curled at her sides as her claws grew out. "100 do you know how a Natblida is raised?" Luna looked up to Clarke. She shook her head slowly feeling queasy at the thought, "Of course not, why would Heda tell you? She probably didn't want you think less of her," Luna moved closer to Clarke leaning against the table as she looked in at her.
"Don't listening to her! Only she was rai-"
"Foto jus," Luna interrupted making Lexa grunt and fight against her restrains, Clarke growled deeply hating the phrase that Luna used "evil blood" like Lexa was some awful thing. Clarke clutched at their moonstone holding it close to her heart and prayed this new information wouldn't affect her relationship with Lexa.
"Give it a rest already. You've already drained her of too much blood and you've shocked her twice already," Clarke hissed. She kept her back against the cage not giving Luna any chance of being able to grab her. Though Luna did see Clarke clutching onto something and was holding far too close to herself for Luna to be able to see what it could be,
"Shut up, she's fine. Her shock collar isn't even strong like yours is. The collars made for alphas to suppress their ability to command and to change form. I should know because I was number 1 the first Natblida to be tested on," Luna spat out. She looked away from Clarke to Dog who was standing to the side keeping her head down. "Fetch Abby, now mutt," Dog quickly bowed and walked quickly to the door leaving Luna alone with the rest of what remained of the 100.
"You were the first one?" Clarke questioned. She needed to know this cause obviously whatever they did to her they would do to Lexa. Luna laughed nodding, her eyes grew distant as she went back inside her mind and memories were filling her head.
"Yes, they did but before that let me tell you how a Natblida is brought up in this world and Lexa if you interrupt I'll turn the switch on," Luna threatened looking back at her. Lexa stopped struggling staying still as Luna turned back looking at Clarke. "Same to you 100 keep your mouth shut or your mate to be will be drained of her blood," Clarke growled but nodded her understanding not really having much of a choice. She felt something poke her hand as she glanced over, seeing Bellamy slide the piece of paper through her to her side as Luna was checking Lexa's restrains. Clarke opened the paper squinting to see the words written sloppy,
Be ready, lights will go off
cages will open
don't hesitate
Trust Maya
Underneath a raven was drawn. Clarke glanced up to Bellamy nodding she looked back to Luna who now finished checking Lexa restrains,
"When a Natblida is born, they are born in their wolf form and as they grow a mask begins to show around their eyes. You probably already know that part but what you don't know is once that stupid mask appears the alphas take you away from your own parents." Luna spat out "and they don't even care what age you are once your mask fully forms. I was taken from my mother and father at 10 summers. I still remember what my own flesh and blood looked like,"
"I grew up living by the ocean. My family was not a part of a pack we were our own pack. I had younger brothers and sisters that I played with and loved. But once a pack of wolves found our family by the ocean side; their Heda saw my mask and immediately they tried to take me away from my family. But I fought back refusing to leave my family behind; I begged the Heda to leave me be and that I was no use to them. But he didn't care... Heda was angry at me for defying him and used his powers as an alpha to force me to kill my own parents and siblings," Luna stopped swallowing a lump in their throat, tears threatened to spill down her cheeks but she forced them away making her eyes turn red and puffy. She pushed forward not allowing her emotions to get in the way.
"Every time I close my eyes at night, I still hear their cries of agony as I used my own fangs to tear into their flesh and once the evil deed was done the Heda gave me no choice but to go with them. When we arrived to their den I was placed in the home with other Natblidas. There were pups of all ages but the youngest and only Natblida that was born with her mask already in place was Lexa," Luna spat out the name with such hate Clarke glanced at Lexa who only averted her eyes not looking at anyone.
"Lexa was only 4 winters yet she was praised as though she was a goddess; that Gaia favored her so Heda trained her harshly nothing in a way that a pup should be treated. I used to feel sorry for her back then. I heard how she been taken right from birth away from her mother and taken to Heda himself to be trained as a ruthless warrior. It didn't matter how young she was, her age was no excuse. She trained amongst everyone even when it came to fighting with one another. Other Natblidas treated her badly breaking her bones tearing out her fur, yet she fought back never backing down,"
"I soon grew sick of being undermined by a pup since I wasn't trained from birth to be a warrior. I was humiliated countless times and so I trained harder than everyone else. I've broken my bones more times than I can count but still I went on. But the pack didn't seem to appreciate my efforts for soon they spread nasty rumors how I was a mad wolf, killing her own family for not being tamed sooner. Like I was a wild animal and they treated me like one. Attacking me randomly, beating me senseless until I passed out. Instead of Heda defending me or helping me, he told the wolves to attack me more to make me tough to break me,"
"Finally, I snapped one day killing three betas in cold blood with minor injuries and that was when Heda announced I would be the future alpha," Luna paused seeing if Clarke was still listening but Clarke couldn't break away from her story. It was so cruel for a pup, so young to be treated in such an away. Once Luna was sure she was still listening she continued.
"I was ashamed of myself. I had become exactly what the pack expected of me. A cold-blooded killer and Heda only wanted to continue the blood spill. So, I rejected the calling and run away, yes like a coward so my once fellow wolves would say," Luna snarled looking back at Lexa distaste.
"But I went back after a while to help free the next Natblidas from losing themselves to blood lust and being trained into a life of violence. I successfully gotten 6 pups to follow me and I was going to lead them to life where they could choose what they wanted to be but then we were attacked by the city wolves. They caged us up in the same way as you have been 100," Luna turned back to Clarke a scowl on her face.
"They had us lined up ready to be taken away. I was separated from the pups and they already had me in the back of their truck to haul me away. And the pups were still on the ground being forced inside a small cage. And that's when I heard it, the howl of an alpha and not just any alpha it belonged to none other than Lexa herself. I couldn't believe it, Heda had made Lexa the next leader to a pack of 2,000 wolves at only 12 winters. She was still a pup she shouldn't have been the next one she was far too young. If I had chosen the title I would have been 18 summers, which would have been a much proper age. Lexa came to the rescue, ordering other wolves with ease to save the pups and kill anyone who got in the way. They had no troubles of course, the city wolves were weak, but one managed to get away. The very one who had gotten in the truck with the cage that I was stuck in. The woman drove off and Lexa looked up right at me, she saw me, she looked right into my eyes within that cage," Luna growled her fangs jagged out. She crept closer to Clarke's cage gripping the bars so hard her knuckles turned white, "You know why she did?" She whispered her eyes glazed with unshed tears.
"What?" Clarke whispered her eyes glancing up over head as the same beep from before sounded and the blank door opened.
"She turned her back on me. She ignored me. She only looked to the pups only worried for their safety and let the city wolves take me! They brought me back here in a different lab then this one and they tested on me seeing how they could remove the K-9 infection. I was a pin cushion of different medications, ones that have ruined my senses. I can no longer smell or taste like a wolf. And then they bleed me and saw my blood was different. A woman among them named Dr. Tsing, some German woman said they should use my blood on those whom were weak. Next thing I know she began to drain me each day little by little just like they are going to do with Lexa," Luna grinned moving to away from Clarke walking to Lexa's side she gazed down at Lexa, her eyes insane.
"Dr. Tsing realized that with my blood, they could keep their own sick wolves alive after they had been treated. That my blood was able to keep them from dying at quicker rate. I was a blood bag for those wolves. But after a while the medicines that she injected in me started to affect my blood and she could no longer use me. Wallace their president decided it was more merciful to kill me but then I told them that there was another Natblida in the forest who was stronger than me. That her blood could probably keep their mutts alive like average humans. They were interested of course, but I said I'd only give their location if they gave me the same treatment because I can't stand the monster that sleeps inside me," Luna's claws grew out. She gripped the edge of the table glaring down at Lexa who kept her glaring back at her.
"They approved and I began looking for you Heda, only to find out you had merged all the packs together; making it impossible for me get close to you especially when you made your own second your guard!" Luna banged the table. Lexa laid still clear on edge just waiting for Luna to lose it completely. "Those wolves soon had to result to capturing your wolves and using their blood to keep themselves alive until I could get close to you. But the mountain men as they called themselves were decreasing in numbers. The average wolf blood didn't have enough to help them live longer so they died as early as in there 50's. Even Dr. Tsing the poor bitch died along with the others. She of course kept records of what she did with me so it wasn't much of a lose. Then lucky me one day a lovely little blonde happened across my shop," Luna glanced back to Clarke smirking ear to ear. "and she had the same exact missing scent like the mountain men. I befriended Clarke and slowly gained information on how she lived in Arkadia and noticing that special little collar. I informed Wallace and soon enough he and Jaha began working together to find the cure. Wallace passed away soon after but not before passing along Dr. Tsing notes to your mother Abigail Griffin and by the stars she knew German and was able to continue the research on top of what she was already cooking up. Now thanks again to you 100, we have a new blackblood to help prolong the lives of half breeds," Luna looked away from Lexa towards the figure that stood off to the side. Clarke felt sicker by the minute. Luna wasn't wrong, she was distracted with so much on her plate she turned a blind eye to things around her. Clarke was concerned only for her pack's safety, making sure they were happy but never thought of the danger they could be placed in...
I'm a horrible leader.
Clarke let a small whine escape her, feeling sick, guilty she almost forgot that Maya was there in the room with her head hung low staring at the floor Luna looked up annoyed at her.
"Where's the doctor?" Luna snapped making Maya jump in place she looked up at her keeping her hands together.
"She just finished up with the one of the delinquents. She'll be here shortly," Maya stumbled out. Luna scuffed but a wicked grin graced her lips.
"Was it a success?" Luna grinned wider as Maya nodded. Luna laughed as she looked back to Lexa. "Hear that Heda? With your blood and Abigail's solution the Ark pack is going to kill the wolf that sleeps inside us all. Isn't that great?" Luna's smile dropped though as Lexa managed to laugh at her softly not in a humorous way but a pitiful way.
"I went back for you," Lexa spoke clearly, locking eyes with Luna as she stared back at her in disbelief, "I gave the pups to Anya to look after and I ran after you to save you from those defective wolves. I ran after that tru-"
"Shut up! Liar! I would have seen you!" Luna screamed at Lexa, her tears escaped her eyes falling down on to Lexa's face as she started her at down. Clarke was shocked to see Luna still had feelings. She looked so broken, so hurt she looked like a pup.
"I'm not lying, no good Heda would leave their wolf behind," Lexa spoke calmly but the effect wasn't what Lexa wanted as Luna roared at her reaching over and flipping the switch over head right away blood was being pulled out of Lexa who grunted out in pain.
"Liar! I don't believe you!" Luna screamed at her over head the beeping sound came and Clarke froze up as her mother walked in her white scrub jacket was stained in dried up blood. Her mother was looking down at a clip board marking some areas off as she walked to the metal table. Luna had fell silent, she was stoic still as Abigail got closer she sighed placing the clipboard down to the side.
"Luna what are you doing? 2 can't be bleed anymore today. She needs to build up her strength first," Abigail flipped off the switch, ditching the tube on Lexa's heart she closed it off so no blood would leak out. "You girl, help her back to the cage. How's my daughter doing?" Abigail looked right to Clarke and she smiled at her like this whole situation was the most normal thing in the world, her mom moved closer to her cage and looked in on her, "Hi sweetie, how are you doing?" Abigail pulled out a flash light from her pocket and shined it in her eyes, Clarke didn't bother looking away. She was getting far too angry at how her mother approached her.
"How I'm I doing?! Are fucking kidding me?! I'm half naked, in a cage meant for a wild animal and I have just been told you been killing my friends to cure us of nothing!" Clarke growled snapping her teeth but Abigail looked at her with such sadness Clarke wasn't even sure why. Her mom shook her head sighing she reached out her hand through the bars and Clarke wasted no time batting her hand away from her the loud smack echoed throughout the silent room. But Luna seemed to become braver as she said.
"You were right Abby. Guess your theory is proving itself through your own flesh and blood," Luna smirked like it was the best joke in the world but Abigail didn't take kindly to it. Abigail turned to her sharply and Luna flinched from the glare she aimed at her.
"Be quiet! I don't want to hear another word for you, do you understand Luna?" Abigail hissed at her. Luna shrank back right away nodding her in understanding. Abigail shook her head at her, Humans don't speak so ill of another person misfortune. It makes them inhuman," Abigail spat out. Luna backed away completely keeping her hands folded in front of her looking to the ground.
"What theory is she talking about Abigail," Clarke snarled out, as Abigail looked back at her frowning looking even sadder then before. She placed her hand on the outside of Clarke's cage.
"The K-9 infection was the biggest mistake to ever happen to Ark people and it must be killed off before it can have a chance to take over our bodies completely," Abigail sighed. Again, she reached out and she placed a hand on Clarke's knee, "Clarke honey, we are getting the perfect chance to be normal! We don't have to have these disgusting things inside of us because I now have the cure," Abigail spoke slowly not bothering to ease Clarke into it. Just laid it out on her just like that; Clarke's head was hurting more and more so much information was being fed to her she was losing it.
There was Luna's past which was a trajected which lead her to betraying her own kind. Apparently, Clarke helped by not keeping her mouth shut just because she thought Luna was trustworthy. Her friends were being tested on being tormented and kept in cages like wild animals. 53 of her wolves were now dead; some of Lexa's wolves were still in here being used to perfect the "cure"; and her mother was willing to kill off others just to make themselves half human because they can't let go of the past and accept who they were.
"I've finally found the break through point, no more testing! I have created a solution here in the lab as well as using the primrose that I read in that book you brought and that Luna translated for me. It is amazing! The primrose when injected into the blood stream slows down the K-9 infection in our bodies while leaving the normal genes alone. Followed with the vaccine Ks being able to catch the virus and kills them just like that," Abigail smiled proudly though her forehead creased a little in irritation.
"The only problem before hand was that the vaccine Ks killed off too quickly and many have died in the process. However, your girlfriend here Lexa, her blood is strange yes but it is unlike anything I have seen. Using her blood and the vaccine together diluted the speed rate. Just now I injected a few of the delinquents with the solution mix and it was a success! Killing the K-9 infection inside of them completely. Only two minor problems that can be fixed later on is that Lexa's blood is so strong it keeps people half wolf but not to the point they can change form and we have to remove the extra parts like the tails and ears that grow outside the body. However, they are basically humans just with higher senses!" Abigail smiled. She patted Clarke's knee to comfort her but Clarke was storming inside, so much of this was wrong, so incredible wrong.
"How many have you cured," Clarke forced the word out hating the taste of it but if she was calm and not aggressive then her mother would answer her questions.
"Sadly, the younger ones couldn't with stand the quick change so 49 have died. But a least 4 have been able to withstand the can. I'm sorry that some of your friends have passed on but their sacrifice is highly valued," Abigail sighed shaking her head.
"You tested on the younger once first? Why not the older teens?" Clarke demanded her hatred showed in her tone as her mother flinched but nodded.
"Yes, Clarke you have to understand. As much as it pains me to say it their lives weren't as valuable as those who are here. It's why everyone's numbers here are so important! You were the ones to stand out most, who had more value. Jasper is high technician, able to create things from almost anything, Monty an early engineer who can crack through almost anything, Bellamy is a very strong beta and can be trained to be a guard," Abigail looked around to each person pointing out their values. Why they were ranked higher than everyone else because they could be usefully. Clarke reached up touching her collar tracing the number 100 the highest number in the room. She wanted to tear off the collar it felt more suffocating then before, her claws grew out scratching the side of her neck. Her breathing came out in pants, her skin was prickling all over feeling like glass was poking through her pours, her teeth had sharped scratching the inside of her cheeks.
"Clarke? Breath, you're losing yourself," Lexa whispered besides her. Lexa's hand was resting on her shoulder but Clarke couldn't feel it. She was too lost in her own hate to even care that collar was tightening down on her wind pipe the only relief she had was from her fingers that griped at her collar.
"and then there is you Clarke, only at age 18 you are a licensed doctor. Soon you will be helping me in curing everyone else in the Ark tower!" Abigail swooned happily but was on edge as she saw Clarke shaking. Clarke's fangs were scraping against her lips as she bit herself from keeping her mouth shut. Her claws grew out around her collar yanking on it horribly; Clarke felt a small tingle going throughout her body but she felt no pain. She was in a rage like she had never felt before. Her wolf inside was awake, roaring scratching at her from the inside out. Clarke could only watch as her mother looked at her terrified, but she didn't care she wanted to punish her mother.
On que the lights turned off and the cages opened the room only source of light was from the monitors creating a chilling look like in horror films. Clarke could hear the others around her getting out of their cages. Maya's voice rang out telling her friends to get to the contaminant area. Lexa was standing in front of her speaking to her but blood was rushing to ears making her deaf to all noise only focused on Abigail as she backed away staring back at her. Her mother was afraid and it only fueled Clarke more, her wolf howled inside pleased to see her fear, to taste it in the air.
Clarke tore off the collar at her throat and with the sound came a deafening crack of bones. Clarke could feel the bones breaking and reforming inside of her as they molded into the shape of a wolf for the very first time in her life. Clarke blacked out but her wolf moved forward, lunging out of the cage towards the woman she thought to be her mother, who she once looked up to, who she once loved… The only thought in her head was to kill the person who had taken the lives away from young souls, the souls of the wolves that she has protected for longer then she could remember and she needed to dismantle the woman in front of her.
