Everyone settled down. I was happy to see that Damien was now starting to relax. He passed me some buttered rolls. We sat, ate, conversed and finally had a nice time. Damien socialized with his friend Franklin. Whitney came over and sneered at me. “Congrats on seducing the Alpha into mating a tramp like you, weren’t you the one that was running away from him? I guess you decided to be a slut after all” she smirked. I snarled at her, losing my appetite, I picked up my drink and through it in her face.She gasped “Why you mongrel! My hair!” she shrieked.“Whitney, I don’t know what your beef is considering I just returned but, you should know better than to mess with an Alpha’s mate and your future Luna! Or did you miss what Damien just did to your brother defending me!” I said in dry tone. She snarled and raised her hand to strike me. Damien had our full attention now, and was giving her a daring look. She shrank backwards and bowed her head in submission before scooting away.I never

We entered the Dungeon, and the placed smelled of sweat, piss, shit, and blood. I understood what happens in these places. By the look on Verona’s face she was trying not to vomit at the smell. We walked down a dark stairway made of stone. I looked around, there were lanterns hanging from the ceiling that looked ancient. The walls were made of rock and cement. It felt like we were walking down into the depths of the earth. I was starting to wonder how far down we were going. The ceiling was high above us. It felt like we were entering a great cavern like the Bat cave on Batman begins. Above us hung these ancient cages that were covered in cobwebs. They had dark stains on them, almost like the color black. I turned my head away, I did not want to imagine what it was. As a warrior, I had an idea but, I didn’t want to think of it. I looked over at Verona, she still looked sick. “Hey, are you alright?” “Yes, honestly, I have not been feeling well since I came here. My body feels ill. So

I stared at him; I am not sure whether I should tell him exactly what I saw in that room. I clam up. He stares me down, and I begin to walk away, I am a stubborn she-wolf. I’m not going to answer him, and he’s realizing it. “Tabitha! Tell me what you know!” he demands. I roll my eyes and continue to ignore him. I don’t give a shit if he is my father, I’m not going to give in easily. I do not need him puking again on the floor, I’d rather keep the information to myself. “Tabitha, tell me right now!” He commands me, his Alpha tone radiating forward. I almost buckle at the command. After so many years, he still is an Alpha, and apparently still my Alpha. He’s my fucking father, and his effect still works on me. Fuck, I buckle under the weight of his command. His authority spilling over me like the kings blood that still flows through his veins. “Kayla! Just tell him what you saw!” I grit my teeth. Feeling the power wash over me as his Alpha dominance returns. I emotionally give up.
