My life in pieces

Elena's POV

I can't believe that this is happening, I just don't know what to do anymore. Today is the day that the heartless Alpha will be taking me to the silver room.

I don't know what to do because I do not want to be locked up in the silver room. Being in a dungeon is nothing compared to being in that room even worse I'll be stuck as a wolf for a while month.

I can take being in here, I am a wolf and the strongest female in the pack. Why am I locked up in here when I could be doing something to help out my people?

I didn't even get a chance to bury my father. he was an alpha and he deserved a send-off that was fitting to him. I don't care who this guy thinks he is but he will never be my Alpha

 and I will never submit to him.

I was sitting in the dungeon thinking about the last few weeks and what I have been through these last few weeks when someone came to get me. I could already imagine the pain I'll be going through soon.

I heard footsteps coming closer and closer to where I was being held, soon after that I heard the keys on the door and soon I heard the door opening.

"So you're the princess everyone keeps talking about?" The guy said in a deep voice. I had my face down and I couldn't bring myself to look at him. Not when I know that he was taking me to that awful room.

"So you're the executioner no one told me about? I take it that you're here to deliver my sentence..." I said with sarcasm.

"Smart mouth, I like it, I'm not sure your Alpha will though..." He said.

"He is not my Alpha..." I said with venom in my  voice. I will never accept him as a leader of mine. He killed my father, the rightful Alpha.  He is not even of this bloodline, how does he expect to rule people he knows nothing about?

"Another thing he won't like..." He said looking calm. It's like this guy was taunting me and I was falling for it. This was all just a game to him.

"What do you want?" I asked him.

"Me? I want nothing, your Alpha on the other hand request your presence." He said with a skew smile.

"My presence or my head?" I asked him. This is because I know that he is the one who decapitated my father and brought him back home in pieces. I will never forget nor forgive what he did to my father.

"Well I'd advice you to mind your tongue with him, do not piss him off and you might just survive the night..." He said.

The way he said that scared me, I thought that he just wanted to punish me, now it seems like he wants to kill me, I saw how they slaughtered others, he will do the same to me.

If I die today then I won't be able to avenge my father. It will be the end of me and my bloodline. As soon as they kill me, my sister's will follow. I don't know if I can submit to him but I also know that I can't let my sisters die, I have to do something.

I have to find a way to get out of this mess I find myself in. I cannot allow that man to take my birthright away from me, I have to find a way to get rid of him, first I needed to survive.

"What do you mean "I might survive the night?" I asked him.

"I mean that it would be in your best interests to be on your best behaviour because he will kill you if you threaten his position with the pack." He said.

"So what? I should just bow down and beg him for mercy?" I asked him.

"Smart girl, now get up, he is an impatient man." He said.

So I was right that I can't let a man like that take over. He is going to run the pack with an iron fist. We will never have our freedom again. He will take away everything we love and hold dear to our hearts. 

I composed myself and stood up from my small single bed. I was dirty and hungry but I was not broken. I could even say that I was stronger than I had ever been in my life before. This is because my mind was clear. I knew what I had to do.

"How are my sister's doing?" I asked my escort. 

"They're doing well, they miss you dearly." He said.

"That's good..." I said as we walked to what used to be my father's house. I walked in and my escort opened the door for me. I walked into my house and everything looked different. It didn't even look like my house anymore.

"Looks like you guys had no problems settling in..." I said.

"Yeah, the house got a makeover..." He said.

I must admit that the house was beautiful, I never thought I could see this house looking so morden and stylish. It's an old house that has been in my family for centuries and now a stranger is occupying this very walls my ancestors built with their own hands.

My whole entire life I have lived in this house. This is my home and I can't just walk away from everything I know. He walked me to what used to be my father's office.

This house used to be filled with people and now I couldn't even see one person on sight. This is not right. This is not how things are supposed to be. I hate this man and there's nothing that can change that.

"Wel...well, who do we have here?" He asked me.

"Delivered as promised..." My escort said.

"Thanks brother, I'll take it from here..." He said to my escort who shortly excused himself from the office.

My father's office looked different as well. He used to keep family photos on the wall, now there was paintings on the walls. He even changed my father's table. I can't believe how much this place has changed. I feel like a stranger in my own home.

"You may take a seat." He said coldly. If I wanted to get my way I had to play smart. I have to everything I can to avoid being sent to the silver room. I took a seat .

"So have you changed your mind about submitting?" He asked.

"That's never going to happen." I said.

"What would it take for you to see me as an Alpha because, believe it or not, I don't want to send you to the silver room, especially tonight when we will have a full moon but I cannot have you here to disrespect me." He said.

"You killed my father, you took over his house, his family, his pack and you expect me to bow down and thank you for it? You ruined my life! so forgive me if I'm not jumping at the chance to be in your corner.

This is my family home, it was my sanctuary for me and my sister's, I didn't even get to bury my father, I will never submit to you, Never!" I said harshly.

"Fine then..." He said coldly. "Theo get in here." He said. One of his guys came in.

"You called?" He asked.

"Yes, I want you to take silver chains and lock her with them by the entrance where everyone can see her." He said.

"But sir the chains will burn her when she turns..." Theo said in horror.

He is borrowing  a trick from an old book, my father used to do that to the wolves who didn't fall in line. He would leave them there for hours. It is the second most harshest punishments for any wolf.

"You can't do that!" I said with horror. This is not what I thought I thought he would do. I didn't see the conversation going like this.

"I can and I will... " He said.

"No! I propose a conclaid..." I said.

"No, that hasn't been done in decades..." He said.

"So is my punishment for defiance." I said.

A conclaid is an age old tradition that happens when someone challenges the Alpha  for the right to take over the pack as a leader. This hasn't been done in years because no one has ever challenged my father before.

It's a fight to the end. If I win this fight then I get to state my terms and if I lose, I will either be dead or I will have to submit to him. I will have to accept him as my Alpha which will also feel like a death sentence.

I will do anything I can to get my family back, everything I can to keep my sister's safe and away from this monster. He is a leader and I called him out infront of his followers.

He has to grant me what I want. It's my right to do that. Anyone can challenge an Alpha. I haven't seen his wolf form but I don't think that he could be bigger than my father. I trained with my father and he was the biggest wolf I knew.

He trained me harder than he could train anyone. I could take on any male wolf like it was nothing on any given day. I am sure that I can win this fight because I have to. My life depends on it.

"Fine, you can have your conclaid but when you lose, you will not only submit to me but you will also agree to be my wife." He said.
