It's been almost a week since the attack, and I've been in the dungeons. I got my voice back, but I don't use it. Tomorrow is my birthday, but I wish more than anything that I was dead. The cells here smell like piss and shit. All you hear all the screams of the ones being tortured down here. I try to tune it out. I can't sleep. Every time I close my eyes, all I see is my dad's head. My dad......It's my fault he is dead...I didn't attack him, but he died protecting me... Fresh tears come to me as I try to stay silent. The first few nights in my cell, I was visited by Lynx, who beat me severely, asking me why I did it. I tried to tell him I didn't. It was mom, but it only pissed him off even more. On another night, David came to taunt me, saying if he was the alpha, I would already be dead. Even slapping me around a few times to prove he can.
Jan only came once. Her visit hurt the most. I was so happy when I saw her, but she looked at me so full of hatred. She punched me in the face and called me a traitor to the pack. I attempted to explain that my mom set it up, but she didn't have any of it. My brother joined her, putting his arm around her, threatening me to stay away from his mate. Wait...his mate? I tried to smile and tell her I was happy for her, but they kicked me in the stomach. The servant brings food out right after they leave barley enough to survive on. I always push it to the side. I can't eat it. The alpha comes into the cells after they tell him I'm not eating and forces it down my throat. My mother is behind him smiling as if she is getting some sick thrill off of this. It's at that moment when I realize just how much I hate her. I vowed to myself to seek revenge for my father. My silent threat must have reached her when she looked into my eyes because her smile vanished. She came in and kissed the alpha, and he left her alone with me in the cell. As soon as she sees he is gone, she smiles again. " Look at you, exactly where you belong" she taunts. I spit at her" You Bitch", I told her. "You had my father killed and blamed it on me. For what. To be the alpha whore". She comes up to me and takes her hand and slaps me across my face, but I don't even feel it. All I feel is hate and this feeling is slowly building up." Watch your fucking mouth you little shit. He wasn't supposed to be there, YOU were the target". I remember her saying that rouge to get me." Why," I ask. I've done nothing to you.'. She slaps me again." You've done EVERYTHING to me `and you will pay. My rouges may not be able to reach you right now, but I will find a way to hand you over and get you out of my life for good' she spats" Why mom, " The anger is now reached its peak and starting to come out. It gave me strength. She must have sensed it. She smiled and backed away." Oh, dear child, YOU WERE NEVER MY REAL DAUGHTER." I knew she was telling the truth. She never felt like a mother to me, and we never had a connection. She saw the realization come to my eyes and laughed. She walked away, leaving the cage. When she got to the door, I laughed, she turned around and narrowed her eyes. It was a cold laugh, full of no emotions. Scary, lifeless, powerful and I swore I saw a massive dark aura come around me. She must have seen it too and continued to back away. I spoke" Hear my words, whore. One day, no matter where I am, or how many years it will take, I will find you, and I will rip your heart out as a tribute to my father, but before I do, you will know the true definition of pain and fear, and you will suffer a thousand deaths before I allow you peace. Head me, mother. Tread carefully. I make this promise to you. The last face you will ever see will be mine."I was pulsating this dark aura and my mother felt it. She knew I wasn't playing around, and she was scared. However, she played it off with a smirk and walked out, leaving me alone. I realized how quiet everyone had gotten in the dungeon, as if they were hanging on to my every word, but I didn't say anything else. Yet it stayed silent. The guy in the cell next to me spoke. "What are you?" he asked." What do you mean? " " You have a powerful aura around you, yet I don't sense a wolf," he says. I sat quietly for a while since I didn't want to think about it. I just felt myself getting weaker and weaker. Eventually, I couldn't keep myself awake, and darkness overcame me.It's now been a full week since I've been down here in the dungeon and today is my birthday. My scars are healing up slowly thankfully. My mom has not come back. My brother comes back now and then to hit/kick/slap/burn or whatever he needs to do to let off his pent-up anger. The guy in the cell next to me has been nice. He listens to me when I do talk, but even then, I don't have much to say. Instead, he allowed me to listen to him. Turns out his name is Mark, and he was captured and jailed for hiding money from the alpha to keep the money to feed his family. He told me how the alpha would bring his fated mate to the dungeon and rape her while he watched them chained up. I used to think our alpha was nice, but after what he did to me, and listening to Mark's stories, I can understand why his son David is the way he is. As soon as he told me that, many of the prison mates started telling their own story and I found myself getting attached to these prisoners and their sad stories. No one asked about my story. Everyone down there heard about the girl who decapitated her father. They also heard my mother's confession, so they all knew I was innocent. It was nice to have someone believe me, even if no one else did. Everyone was silent as they heard the alpha approaching. He stopped at my cell, and stared at me, opened it, then grabbed my arm to walk me out. He was not gentle, and my legs were wobbly from not being able to walk often, so he was dragging me out. One cellmate yelled "Be Strong My Queen'. Alpha Nate growled at him. " Kill them all" He ordered a pack warrior and all I could hear were the screams of pain as he was continuing to drag me up the stairs. I could tell we were headed to his office. He dragged me past some pack members, some had cruel smiles on their faces, some with complete disgust. My once best friend and brother were among them. Once we reached his office, he tossed me onto the chair. He goes behind his desk to his computer. I decided to stay quiet. I could feel his alpha aura pouring off in waves, but it wasn't doing anything to me. He paid me no attention and we sat like that for about 10 min until his eyes glazed over mind linking someone. A few minutes later, a servant came into the room with grey t-shirt and grey slacks. The outfit of the servant. She gave the clothes to me. " You know what to do" was all he said. She tugged on my clothes, telling me to go with her. I followed. As we walked through the halls on the way to the servant's quarters, I felt a tug in my head. Like someone trying to get through. The pain in my head was searing. I saw the servant about to mind link Alpha when I suddenly asked her not to. " Please miss," She said, "you need a doctor and I'm on a tight schedule," she said. "What's your name," I asked her."I am Serene, miss," she said."Just give me a second please Serene," I asked her with a smile,I somehow knew that wasn't it though, but the pain was starting to let up as I realized I should give in to the pain and that's what I did. I was suddenly feeling better. Better enough to walk. The pain didn't come back, and I just assumed it was from finally seeing a lot of light after being in the dungeons for a week. We arrived at the servant headquarters, but it seemed like we were headed further than that."Where are we going, Serene," I asked her." Alpha does not want you sleeping in servants' quarters. He has another room to be given to you". I followed her to what looked like an empty room with a ladder that looked like it led upstairs to a secret shack. She led me into that room. It looked like some sort of small attic with cobwebs all around. It had 1 flatbed on the ground with a thin blanket. I guess this is going to be my new quarter until the alpha kills me." Miss, take a shower and then get dressed. I will wait for you" Serene said, climbing down, leaving me to it. I saw the small bathroom downstairs and decided to hurry up and shower. The shower was small, and the cubby was wooden, but that didn't matter to me. The water seemed to wash away what felt like years of sweat and blood. I felt great when it was done. I followed Serene for the rest of the day as she showed me how to clean the bathrooms in the packhouse, makeup beds, cook, and scrub the walls. Even though I was in the packhouse, I was happy not to pass any of my family. Though that didn't stop the occasional glares or the laughs when someone " tripped" me. I learned quickly thankfully and kept my head down. I met the other servants, some who were nice to me, some glared at me, and had terrible attitudes. While serving dinner, some members thought it would be hilarious to throw some food at me. I almost retaliated but I heard someone say no, not yet. I looked around but couldn't pinpoint the voice. I decided to shrug it off. It didn't make it any easier than my "mom", Lynx, Jen, and Marcus, were all there watching my every move. They were all laughing at me too, other than Marcus. His eyes looked like they kept switching between annoyance and .... pity? I'm not sure, but I decided it wasn't wise to stay and find out, so I left and retired back to my attic. I was so tired. I slouched on my little mattress. It wasn't comfortable, but it was better than the dungeon. Serene gave me clothes to sleep in since I had none and an alarm to keep time. Luckily, my room wasn't too close to one, so it gave me privacy. I laid down and prepared to go to sleep. All of a suddenYou have been through some shit lately. I got up and looked around, but no one is there. "Who Are You," I asked out loudly.I am your girl. My wolf.......Yes, my name is Snow. I tried to reach out to you, but I had a tough time getting through, almost like I had to force my way through a block. Nice to meet your snow, I'm Elena. Also, yes, I could feel you trying to get through. It hurt terribly.I know love. Your body is weak but I'm here to help you heal. I saw what happened, and I am sorry. I get quiet, not sure what to say. In my mind, it all still floats in my head as if it just happened in that second and I feel myself tearing up. Don't cry love. You are so strong; you have no idea. I am so happy to have been paired with you. Unbelievably, I've known you way longer than you think. I know mother moon goddess chose well and when she told me about you, I had to come at once. I've been waiting to be your wolf for a long time!You spoke to the Moon Goddess?Yes, my love, but we will talk about that later. For now, sleep, and tell no one about me. You don't want to give off your strength and trust me, we are strong. No one here is to be trusted after what happens. The only person we will wait to tell is our mate when we find him on our 18th birthday. Mate won't want a weak thing like us, I tell her. I don't want to get her hopes up.Our mate will want us. Have patience, my love. I will be here to talk to you every step of the way. I smiled at that. Can I see how you look Snow? I'm hoping to see her in my head, but I am weak right now, so I know I can’tYou will see when the time comes. I promise. Now get some sleep and let me work on healing you. Thank you snow, I told my wolf and I feel myself getting sleepy. You’re welcome my love. Oh, and ElenaYes SnowHappy BirthdayIt's been 3 years since I've been taken out of the dungeon. During that time, I was beaten and abused by what seemed like my whole pack. I've lost tons of weight and am now really thin. Anytime anyone mentions me, I'm referred to as the girl who took off her father's head. Some people avoid me, which makes my job a bit easier. I am so lucky to have snow because the beatings have been getting so frequent. Even Jen has joined in now. All those years of friendship are just gone. She knew better than anyone how much I loved my father, but I believe Lynx's influence on her may make her see things his way. I've gotten used to the occasional hits and slaps, till they stopped getting a reaction out of me. People would hit me; I would get back up each time. They seemed to stop since I wasn't crying about it anymore. The hitting stopped randomly a few months ago, and now I just get the occasional angry glances I am used to. I haven't used it though. More focused on the fact that my 18th birthd
Little Note Wolfe’s, new characters are about to be introduced, so I will be putting POV for whose point of view ill is speaking from.(Marcus POV)Elena. She is so beautiful. Her very name means Light itself. I have loved her since the day I first met her 10 years ago. We were both still kids at the time. I was eight and she was only four. She is the most beautiful of all the people I know. I remember falling and hurt my knee from playing around outside. She came up to me and kissed my knee and told me it would all be okay. I knew right then, the moon goddess made her for me. I tried to make sure I was in her life as much as possible after that. She and my sister Jan became close. I loved it. My sister knew how I felt about her. However, I had to keep my thoughts to myself. As the beta of the pack, it isn't a good look whoring around with all the pack sluts, I prefer Daniel to do it. His nature. Not mine. I knew she was my mate about a week before her father's incident, when I turned
Roland's POVI hate this place. Here I am in the Black Suns Territory for 2 weeks because of my workers and pressing to expand our business. When I got the invite to come to The Lunar Eclipse Festival, I almost turned it down, had it not been for that dream I had the night before. The dream of the girl with the jeweled blue eyes. FlashbackI'm waking up in a bed, made completely out of what looks like gold with red drapes. This doesn't seem like a dream. I usually know when I'm dreaming. No, this is more a distant memory. In comes kids: 2 twin boys and 1 girl. One boy looks like me with black hair and gold eyes. So does the other, but his eyes are a blue I've never seen before. The little girl's eyes are the same shade of blue. I know these kids are mine. I feel it deep down. "Mommy says it’s time to wake up," the little girl says Just as she said that my heart and eyes were alert at the thought of my lost mate, Raven coming through the door. I always thought no one could ever be m
Roland's POVWHO WAS THE CAUSE OF MY MATES' INJURIES?I know my aura is through the roof. My aura is dangerous, and righteously so. I am not known for patience.I am looking around and each of his members in this room has a nervous look. All of them kept glancing at Elena. However, Elena wouldn't tell me as she seemed afraid. I know there has to be more to it, but she won't speak about it, and I won't push her until she is ready. No one seemed to say anything. I take out Elena's hospital sheet and give it to my Beta to read. Cole took the sheet from my hand.1. Broken left jaw2. Shoulder blade dislocated3. Arms dislocated4. 7 broken fingers5. Crushed ribs 6. Broken nose7. Right leg dislocated8. Left leg dislocated9. Both eyes were swollen shut10. Bruises on the lower backand the list goes on and on. It also says she died alpha. Dead for 2 minutes. Which one of you is responsible?" Cole demands. Everyone has gone quiet. All of the guilty. Well, all of them except Marcus. He
Elena POVDuring the meeting, I remained silent up until Serene came in and I saw how Alpha Ned was towards her. I am so afraid that when I leave, she will be forced to stay behind and endure the same punishments I had to for years. However, when Gamma Nate claimed her as his mate, I was so relieved, all I could do was silently cry. Roland must have sensed my rising stress and I also wanted to hear what she wanted to say. She wanted to tell Roland what they did to me. I was so scared she would be putting an even worse target on her back from this shitty pack, but I knew she was right. He had to know, and I wasn't able to tell him. Even thinking about it, made so much anger start to rise. Serene took my hand and Roland's and just he through my memories. I could feel his reaction to them. However, when he got to my memories of the moon goddess, I saw Serene start to convulse and shake. I started to pull away but both she and Roland held my hands tighter, and I was brought back to my mem
Elena PovAs we ride to his pack lands, I am watching Serene. I know something is different about her, but I can't point it out. She catches my eye and, as if reading my thoughts, she shows me her mating mark." Oh, my Goddess" I scream, causing Roland, who is on his phone, to jump and his hand wraps around me protectively. He laughs when I point out their marks and goes back to his call. Everyone else is laughing at his reaction to my scream."Sorry," I told him and shrunk in my seat. He kisses me on my head, and I can't help but think how I would look with my mating mark. I think about being on a bed, with candles around us and he starts kissing me gently. First, the need increases. It was so hot that I kissed him back with the same intensity. He unties the robe I'm wearing and lays me down as I giggle. I decided to be bold. " See something you like, " I asked, trying to be bold as he started to kiss my neck. I let out a soft moan. It feels so good." You know I do" he playfully gr
Elena POVWe arrived at a 3-story building with many outside venues. We all went into the mall and there were so many stores inside. Mia pulled us into Charlotte Ruse first, and the lady at the counter welcomed us and took my measurements. She then pointed me to a section made specifically for my size. Mia tossed many pairs of pants, shirts, and dresses my way while Serene picked through clothes for herself. I was in and out of the dressing room for over 45 minutes, but I have to admit, she has wonderful taste. All the clothes she picked outfit me perfectly and they all helped to bring out my newly forming curves. I asked Mia to put some stuff back, so we didn't spend a lot of money. I don't want my mate to get upset with me for spending too much of his money. She ignored me and paid for all those clothes anyway. We walked out with so many bags. There was a door attendant who took up our backs and I assume they were there to put them in the trunk of the limo. Mia was dragged up to the
Elena PovI woke up to Roland serving me breakfast in bed. I started to cry for some reason because no one had ever done that for me before and I was thankful. After Roland calmed me down, I took a shower, which, let me say, is the best fucking shower ever made. I dressed in a white t-shirt, with yellow shorts and white shoes and pulled my hair into a bun. It was a simple outfit, but Roland liked it even though he bitched about the shorts being too short. We walked around the grounds and he showed me the villages. I met some of the pack members and checked out some of the stores. Roland tried to buy me some stuff, but I told him I had already spent enough of his money yesterday and I didn't want to spend anymore." Also, please don't be hard on Serene. Mia kept making us pick out stuff. We didn't mean to get so much", I told him." Judging by the small amount of stuff you came home with, if anything, I'm gonna tell Mia to start doubling what you bought since I own the mall, little one
