Rosalie's POV "We have to kill her" Max decided my fate. I snapped my head towards his direction, shaking my head in disapproval."I'm not a threat I swear," I blurted, hoping to convince them. “His son is not like him.”"You just keep quiet, just shut up!" Max warned, tossing my hopes in the dirt.The camp became rowdy people murmuring in hushed tones.I had to think of something before it was too late. If there was one thing I discerned; it was the fact I didn't want to die.If I did I wouldn't have begged to be dragged all the way here just to shorten my death sentence."You're seeing a problem, I'm seeing an opportunity" the other man suddenly said.Max looked at him like he sprouted another head. "Are you trying to get us killed?""We finally have leverage over them, taking his son's wife""They don't care about me" I voiced, unable to keep quiet. "They left me in jail to rot I'm more of a liability""Or a mistake!" Max spat. "We cannot believe her, it can't be a coincidence she
Rosalie's POV"Stand down, Sia" someone called out, I couldn't look in their direction paralyzed by fear.She didn't adhere at first but then someone else spoke out."You're too quick to pull out that blade," One of her partners said.“This is what has kept me alive all this time” she retorted.“Just give us a minute with her, you'll have the right to do whatever you want later” the man suggested but I didn't like the sound of that.The girl in leather snarled at me but I could see the sealed pain that was restrained in those eyes.I guess killing me would be her coping mechanism but that wouldn't bring Melody back.How would I convince them I'm on their side? I felt empathic towards the situation.No one deserved to go through what Cassie and Melody did.The girl stepped away flipping the blade on one hand."You don't have to worry. No one would kill- well, except her- but we'll do our best to stop her unless necessary," one of the men assured.The girl in question snapped her head t
Nathan’s POVWhere are you mother? I looked outside the window, my vision blurry, I stared into the distance without looking at anything in particular.Just hoping for answers.Her room was still empty.No one has seen her in days, weeks even and worse no one acknowledged her disappearance.Because they all knew my father had a hand in it.No one dared cross Alpha Kincaid. No one wanted trouble. And maybe that was what killed me most, not just his power, but how willing they were to let him use it.I was utterly useless.I couldn't do much in my condition just head to her room hoping she would return. It was the first time she stood up to that monster and she was paying a hefty price.Something I always berated her for.I cursed her for not being able to stand up to that monster and now look at me in the same shoes.I cursed myself more.I couldn't do anything to help her or Rosalie. I couldn't even go see how she was holding up because he warned me not to.Threatening if I went to h
Chapter 69Rosalie's POV I wished I could say the words she wanted to hear, to give her the relief she desperately needed.“I-I’m sorry,” I choked out. When heavy boots ran in our direction. “We have to move. Now. Guards are regrouping.” he uttered urgently.“I’m not leaving without my sister!” the girl barked, her blade still at my throat.The man already in the cell stepped closer. “Stand down, she's gone.”“No, there has to be a mistake!” “You’re not thinking straight, we’ll get caught if we wait. We don’t have time. Remember the promise we made that we'll accept whatever outcome, Melody isn’t here”“She was here!” she snapped. “This wolf—” she practically spat the word, “—knows what happened. She let it happen.”I flinched. Her pain was justified, but it didn’t change the truth.“I didn’t let anything happen,” I whispered. “I couldn’t stop it.”She looked down at me like she was debating whether to slit my throat right there.“No don't do it she's not to blame, we have to leave
Rosalie's POVI jammed my fingers so deep into my ears that they ached.I had to ignore all of it. I didn’t want to hear the plea of the new victims; their voices echoed in my head impersonating Melody’s.It was like her spirit haunted me, unable to find peace but there was nothing I could do.It happened every night, the loud footsteps eclipsed by the cries of their new victims, it was sickening.I sat curled in the corner of my cell, knees tucked into my chest, arms wrapped tightly around them. I had no more tears left to cry.I didn't know how long I’d been here, days, maybe weeks. Time had stopped making sense down here.There was no sun or moonlight, no reason to count the hours except by the pitiful rations they threw through the bars once a day.My hope was fading, my fear intensified.My body ached constantly. My stomach gnawed at itself, half-starved and malnourished. The food they gave me was stale and barely edible. I still ate it. I had to if I wanted to remain alive.Ton
Rosalie's POV "You spent too much time here" a voice broke the moment.Startled, I pulled away and Nathan leaned back into his wheelchair with a smirk on his face.I could barely look in his direction, my stomach churned with butterflies.I couldn't believe it… We actually kissed!It wasn't anything serious. I felt the bars kept most part of our lips apart but the feeling within was so eccentric it felt like we had kissed for hours."I can stay here as long as I wish here," Nathan snapped. I couldn't see the other person he spoke to."I am just doing my job Alpha Kincaid has given strict orders around here" the man responded.Nathan frowned looking back in my direction. Though his presence was comforting there wasn't much he could do sitting outside my cell.He had already done enough, I know getting down here must have been difficult in that wheelchair but he did anyway.“It's fine Nathan, you should go you don't want to anger your father”Nathan's fist clenched but he conceded."I'
