Ninety-Six
Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much.

I had to squint my eyes just so that I could adjust to the darkness that was engulfing the cell. The only sound that was echoing was the sound of my feet as it hit the floor. There was also that metallic smell, the all too familiar stench of blood. I lift my arm, covering my nose using the back of my elbow. I couldn’t even pick up the scent of Yohan from the overwhelming stench of other bodily fluids. I look around, yet it didn’t make much difference. Despite my advanced senses, I still couldn’t quite decipher what was all around me.

The man who can keep a secret may be wise, but he is not half as wise as the man with no secrets to keep.✾ Yohan was quiet for a short while, probably taking in what I had just said. It might have been male bravado. His pride as both a man and a werewolf talking. I understood that Alphas just had a way of always sorting things out, of always making sure they were taking the lead. That they were supposed to be the ones in charge. However, it had been long past those years where everything could be resolved by ego and pride. And he might have forgotten, I have Alpha blood too. Even though it’s not as

In nature there are neither rewards nor punishments; there are consequences.✾When I was finished talking, Yohan was looking down, staring at his hands.It irked me, that he made me finish talking about my great adventure, but not once did he compliment my achievement more. I understand that it’s not out of the ordinary, what I did. However, there was some stupid part of me that wanted to get some recognition from him. A small part of me that was desperately clinging to that small praise he gave me when he was surprised that I managed to tie a big guy up with only using my own strength. And there was another part of me, that one that was a bit more mature than the one that wanted recognition. That part was screaming inside my brain that I should just relax, keep quiet, and calm down.

There's never been a more important woman than the one who stands up, not just for herself, but for everyone else.✾Yohan leans beside me against the wall.It had been hours, and like I had assumed there were some guards doing rounds. Despite what Gloc had said before I got here, that most of them were not chained and permitted to leave, I knew that there would still be some security. Especially in cases such as that of Yohan’s. The people here aren’t dumb witted, they are aware that for prisoners like him they should always be wary. Even though Yohan isn’t bounded by chains or tied up, they’re still smart enough to not be lenient with him. Escaping would be hard, that I already know.My wolf was with me this time

Never throw the first punch. If you have to throw the second, try to make sure they don't get up for a third.✾ The word swirls and I start seeing double. My knees give out from under me and the world starts to turn sideways. No, it was me turning sideways. Slowly, as if the minutes started freezing up, everything moves. My hand reaches up, to touch the side of my neck. Something wet and sticky drips from somewhere in my neck, and when I look at my hand, I see red. My body drops with a thud and warning bells ring inside my head. The floor was cool on my back, with my head turned sideways, one

Old love but in shapes that renew and renew forever. Today it is heaped at your feet, it has found its end in you.✾ Darkness surrounds my vision and I see nothing but scents and vibrations. My bones break and I feel my knees give out. An immense pain wrapping around my body. Once numb, my body now feels like it’s on fire. From my toes to my fingertips, everything feels like it’s being burned to a crisp.

Freedom cannot be bestowed — it must be achieved.✾I pretend I don’t notice the heavy stares of the children surrounding us.Helping Yohan lean back against the wall, I lift his shirt up. My heart was no longer hammering against my chest. Oddly, there was some sense of calm within me. He was still breathing, but barely. His face and lips pale and white. My breath hitches as I see the bloody wound by his stomach. Immediately, I bring his shirt down again. My vision blurs, but like everything else for the past few minutes, I’ve ignored it. Sniffing, I angrily tear a bit of cloth from the black cloak that I had covered in my body. Lifting him gently, I tie it around his torso. I tie it as tight as I could to apply pressure. I can’t have him loosing too much blood.

✾ Colorful tents of different colors and sizes could be seen from a distance. When I squint my eyes, they looked like a poorly drawn painting that was sold at a discounted price. The colors didn’t match with another, nor did it blend greatly. To be honest, it looked like a mix and match of hues that made everything look confusing. I didn’t even have to ask the little boy if that’s the place we were going to because the moment he saw it, he turned around with a grin on his face. He points towards it, cheerily.&nbs

We may add that it is not an act of justice but of foolish injustice to pretend the sexes are the same.✾ I stared dumbfounded at the teenage boy in front of me. Despite looking much like nobility and nothing like the disrespectful brat my brain was making him out to be, his eyes were more inclined on the latter. It was icy and full of unhidden anger and annoyance that I for sure thought that I would freeze on the spot and no one could e
