11: MY CELL

The cell was a desolate place, as the cell was lonely and scary. The walls felt like they were squeezing me, making it hard to breathe. I was actually suffocating with their oppressive presence. I looked at the hard, gray stone around me and felt sad. It was like my dreams were broken and sitting on top of me, making it hard to move. I would never put my enemy in a place like that. I kept wondering why Alpha Jo, as sweet as he is, would build something like this.

How did I end up here? Why did I not see this coming? These were the questions I asked myself while in the cell. I was to be banished and according to the laws it was to be after seven days of being held in a cell. This was for proper inquiry and confirmation by the elders.

I thought I was loved by all but the inmates were no different. They called me names that stung like a lash, taunting me with their cruel mockery of who I thought I was meant to be. I was the only female werewolf in the cell and it didn't make it easier.
