SEVEN
I looked at my hands and felt waves of emotion hit back and forth that the little cell felt too small like a small shoe box. Among the sad emotions, disgust was also vivid. I could not stand being in my own body anymore, my hair was mated to my body with sweat and my forehead and other parts of my body still had splotches of blood; some of it was mine, most of it for the other wolves I killed and the other.....
My mother's blood was still on me. I wanted to wash it all away, that dreadful day, meeting him and losing the two most important in my life. I was too young to be going through all this trauma, I was an adult but I was still as young as a little pup in the eyes of my parents and now I could no longer look into their eyes and see their emotions.....because of him.
I tried to tie up my dirty hair into a bun but I failed miserably because I was tired and starving. I did not know for how long I had been in this little kinky and dirty cell but I could guess about four to five days. That stupid Alpha was surely heartless for him to keep his own mate in a cell with minimal food and no baths...I was really stinking.
The mosquitoes were also getting irritating and my skin looked like someone was tainting it with little blotches of red ink.I had only had two meals ever since I was thrown into the cell and consisted of only stale bread and water....surely he could afford more than that. I even felt like my stomach could do without the stale bread but when it growled loudly, I just had to gobble it up. My food was always brought in by the same man and he seemed to be a fan of black in fact most of the people I had seen in this pack seemed to be huge lovers of black except for that doctor.
It was starting to affect my being that the guy never even thought of uttering anything and he had only come to the cell twice but at least a simple 'hello' could work. As much as I wanted to eat the food it never did me much good because Sasha was growing quieter than usual and my human body felt like it would just give up any moment. Not to forget my weight loss, Vera always used to tell me that I was too slim but I guessed she would run away if she saw me right now, looking like Red skull's daughter.
The metals of my cell clinked and I looked up to see the same guy clad in black cargo pants but today he had an army green shirt on instead of a black one. His black boots thudded on the floor as he set down the little tray of food on the floor. Was he just gonna leave without saying something again? Well, I was not gonna let him.
"When are you people letting me go?" My throat hurt badly after saying that and he noticed my struggle and handed me the cup of water that was on the floor.
I swallowed down the water in fast gulps and looked up at him when my throat felt better. Not talking much was really taking a toll on me. I looked at him with a raised eyebrow awaiting a simple answer even though I knew it was going to be a huge.....NO
"Well?" I widened my eyes when he just scanned me over with no expression and walked out of the cell, clinking the keys against the metal until it was locked. "Wait! You didn't answer my question." I screamed out but he kept on walking until he was no longer in view.
Well, that was rude. I snickered and grabbed the bread on the little tray and eyed it before tearing it down and letting it slide down with the water. I finished the piece of bread and drank down the rest of the water and dragged myself to the end of the cell and leaned on the wall. My body really hurt.
......
He continued bringing the food once a day and would not utter a word no matter how much I tried to irritate him or corner him into talking but he never did which I started finding creepy and started asking myself that maybe there were possibilities that he was dumb or deaf. I had even once started talking about how big his member looked in his trousers once but I got no expression which was totally embarrassing. But I would not give up, not until I finally found a way to escape.
My life had really spiralled downwards in a few days from 'best friend I'm stealing your clothes' to losing my parents and being mated to some piece of crap that kept me locked up in his pack's basement. I just wanted to wake up now and remember that I had slept in.
"Will you at least tell me your name? You have a name right?" I continued to pester the bulky man in front of me as he set down the tray and started walking out, completely ignoring me.
"Tough nut huh," I smirked and shook my head, but he did not respond. "Seriously what are you, a robot?" I muttered in defeat and shook my head.
He looked at me and I saw his lips twitch before he masked it up with his expressionless face and walked away very quickly. I smiled and almost jumped if not for my weak body.
"Wait, come back!" I yelled. "He smiled." I smiled too and mentally high five myself.
A smile was etched on my face as I thought about all the memories I had with my parents that night. I did not notice that my smile had turned into huge fits of tears. I wiped the tears away and stood up, I went up near the bars and looked outside and saw only darkness. I sighed. I have to leave and soon.
I could not remain in this little cell for the rest of my life or until I die of food poisoning. I had to leave and run as far as I could. I gathered up my courage and made a decision to come up with a plan on how to escape before my body retired.
.....
He insisted on never talking but he started smiling or groaning and I found that to be a huge improvement especially since I thought that he was dumb.
It had probably been two weeks now and I was still locked up but I was determined on busting out of this cell and escaping from one of the most feared territories. I stared up at the "quiet guy" as he entered the cell and smiled.
I outsmarted him when I jumped on him and grabbed the key from his hand and kicked him where the sun does not shine. I ran out of the cell and fumbled with the keys until I locked the cell.
"I'm sorry." I apologized with a large smile before finding the stairs and climbing up as I heard his shouts behind me.
I knew that I only had probably less than five minutes before he mind-linked Alpha Jaxon and he and the warriors hunt me down but I was determined to make it out....alive hopefully.
I dashes up the stairs and ran down the confusing hallways, my body felt like it was going to drop and give out and my muscles felt stiff with my bones like anvils from lack of movement for a while. I dug deeper within myself and the adrenaline kept my body awake at least maybe to save me from this horrible pack. It took a bit of a while until I found stairs that led downstairs, the hallways were really confusing, and now that I thought about it, escaping sounded dumb since I knew nothing about this pack's boundaries.
I stepped down the stairs and dashed out of the door leaving no moment of hesitation because of the people that were staring at me dumbfounded as if I was crazy. I felt relief as I breathed in the fresh air, my bare feet hit the ground and I increased my pace to find the nearest borders.
I wanted to shift but Sasha was too weak and my body could probably not handle the shift so I just increased my pace as the adrenaline pushed me on and I tried to sniff out the nearest borders. I was near and I knew it but I had to make it far not just cross the border.
I had to find my way back to my back and maybe I could feel more protected or I could explain to Alpha Colton that I did not want Alpha Jaxon as my mate. But there were so many risks with getting my pack involved.
I groaned when I heard movement behind me and pushed further...
A horrifying growl haunted the night sky...
And I knew that I had to push further...
EIGHTOne last pull of fuel from the tank and I would make it out of this hell!I was running not because I felt like my life depended on it but I was running because my life actually depended on it, if I could not make a run out of this place only God knows what he would do to me. I could not risk getting caught especially now that I could feel them trailing behind me, I was still in their territory but if I made it out maybe I could survive though they would still be on the chase for me.He would not stop hunting for me especially since I am his mate but making it out of his territory would surely give me an advantage. I was in between a rock and a hard place especially since I did not want to go back to my pack and endanger the whole Cruelcrown pack, I could not do that adding to more problems since the Blazepelt Pack had already pulled an attack on the pack just a week ago. I would not be selfish. I did not even know what state my pack was in and it made it worse that I could not
NINE"Can I at least have a bottle of your strongest wine before you throw me back in that shit hole?" I kept on conversing with them even though I could feel and see the irritation bouncing off of the men.I smiled as they pulled me back in the direction of Blazepelt pack. I was being dragged by a large man who had a permanent frown on his face and his hold on me was hard, I felt like my arm was going to split in half. I think it was mostly my fault that he was out to snap my arm because he was the same one who I had licked earlier. Alpha Ryker was walking silently behind us but his presence sure was not silent and it did not make anything better with my wolf finally awake and getting excited over our killer mate.After this encounter I was more determined to make another run because let us just be honest, I almost outrun the Alpha and his top warriors. I stared back at him and turned back immediately when his hazel eyes met mine. I was very ready to make a run for it again when I s
TENWhen he said, "not in a shit hole" I actually thought that I was no longer going back to the hollow and horrid-smelling cell. The thought made me feel relief beyond measure and some part of me-the more wolf part- expected him to take me to his house. I was not against the thought of being away from that cell but I was not for the idea of being in the same house as him. Everything had started feeling like an internal battle between my wolf and me, especially when it was something that had to do with our so-called mate.Sasha was more in love with the fact of mating with our mate and that meant being ready to forgive him. Hell, I was not ready to even give him a single chance, he had taken away my happiness in a flash. That was something I was not willing to forgive, I was not even given the chance to say goodbye to my parents and give them a befitting burial....this was all because I was paired with a selfish bastard. Mother luna really decided to be unfair on my part. My mate was
"Come on, you don't want to ignore me." Alec's voice cut through my protesting grunts and groans. "I know that I'm your only company." The smugness that was filling his voice made me want to do nothing more than throw a hard punch at his face.I straightened my body on the bed and unveiled my face from the shield of pillows. The smug look was still on his face as I glared at him. I was definitely seeing a new side of him regarding the fact that the other time I talked to him, he sounded like a total creep. His features looked more vibrant and relaxed than when he had a serious and guarded look. He seemed happy and content with his surroundings, unlike me."What do you want?" I tried to seem braver than anything but an inner voice was telling me that this was the moment I was dreading, I tried to reassure myself that Alec could qualify to be a person who could be considered something close to a friend."I just came to keep you company." He replied and I threw him another glare when he
At first glance, my jellies had already told me that Danielle was quite a handful and she had exceptionally proved it as she kept on rumbling about god knows what. Actually, she was rumbling about how excited she was about the Alpha finally meeting his "mate". I just sat there and nodded to whatever she said because I was not the one who was going to break her spirits over what an asshole her Alpha was. She kept on making up different scenarios that I was sure were only supposed to be kept in her head but she did not care that she was talking too much and that she was making me uncomfortable."......en you and the Alpha are going to get dirty." Those were the words that caught my attention and the thought itself made my cheeks rosy. No! I was not supposed to be blushing especially since none of what Danielle said was ever going to happen. That man had taken every dear thing and person away from me, he had attacked my home and brought nothing but chaos. I was not going to mingle with
I rubbed my eyes and sighed, my eyes were itching and it really started getting irritating. I had taken a quick shower after talking to Alec and I was wearing one of the dresses that were brought in. Needless to say, I was more than glad to get out of the huge hospital gown and into a burgundy skater dress that ended right above my knees. It was one of the dresses that caught my eye and it seemed casual enough to do what I wanted to do.I looked into the mirror that was in the bathroom and searched for any foreign items that might have entered my eyes but found none, I ended up washing my face and patting it dry with a towel. There was no make-up around so my face was as natural as it could be and my hair was tied up into a ponytail. It was now or never and honestly the latter did not sound pleasing. Never meant forever and I did not want to spend the rest of my miserable life surrounded by people I did not know.I let out a breath and walked out of the bathroom, staring at the messy
My body was still shaking but encouraging words were echoing through my head and I kept on reassuring myself that I could not back down and this was for my freedom. I wanted to be in Alec's shoes for the first time because he was so accustomed to the surroundings and seemed so calm, unlike me. My body was shaking and my heart was beating at an unbeatable pace while Alec's shoulders had a lazy slump to them and his hands were in the pockets of his jeans. I closed my eyes and wished I had not breathed in any of the surrounding air when I took in a deep breath. Jaxon's scent filled up the whole house. I opened my eyes and looked up at Alec who was still walking as casually as he was from the beginning.The house was mainly a grey colour and light blue covered most of the furniture, all the walls were a deep grey colour. I had expected black as the main colour but grey did not do much to change my perspective and the silence that filled the air only echoed my thoughts more loudly. He was
My chest felt tight with anger and embarrassment. I had one thing to do and I failed at that, I had one shot at leaving this godforsaken pack but I failed to even do that. I could never do anything right. There was no escaping this place by running and there was no escaping by asking. I wiped the tears of frustration from my face and kept on pacing while trying to wrap my mind around the events that had occurred.I had built up my courage and walked into a death trap with a flicker of hope burning within me. I had hoped but I knew that I was being stupid. He would never have allowed it. Now that small burning flicker of hope had been put out and I felt stuck. What was I supposed to do?My sanity was being questioned. The more I stayed in this pack, the more brain cells were dying. I knew that I was not going to find my home in the same shape as I had left it but being surrounded by people who I had grown up with sound better than being stuck in one of the most dangerous packs and with
