Chapter 3

I was standing in Jacob's room, talking to him about nothing in particular, when it suddenly hit me: Liza!

Liza had been my best friend since we could remember. I loved her so much and I had just remembered as I became so worried about her as I watched as she had been captured by Caesar and Scott earlier that day. I had been trying so hard not to think about it, but now it all came flooding back.

My face must have changed drastically because I could feel a wave of concern wash over Jacob's expression. He asked me what was wrong, and I couldn't keep it in any longer. I told him everything: I and Liza had planned to escape, I was successful because of him but Liza was not. They dragged her back to their pack before my very eyes. As I explained the story, I had tears rolling down my eyes.

Jacob was so understanding and compassionate. He held me while I sobbed, and told me that we would figure something out. He said that he knew someone who could help us with the situation. He said that he would make some calls and see what he could do.

I was so grateful for Jacob's support. I had been so alone in this situation, but now I had someone to lean on. I felt like I could trust him, and it made me feel a little bit better.

Jacob was true to his word.  He stepped into the bathroom to make some calls and within minutes, some people were Outside, knocking on his door. He turned to me and said, "I will go and rescue your friend. I do not know her face, will you accompany me there? So that we could rescue her together?"

I still had shivers from earlier and I did not want to go back to the pack that had enslaved me since I was a child, but I had to. I was willing to do anything for Liza and I was sure she would do anything for me.

If it meant going back to the dreadful place to rescue her, then so be it.

I watched as Jacob opened his doors and went to his living room to have his guest come in. They stayed together for an hour strategizing how to rescue her when I heard Jacob bring up a new idea.

"Why don't we conquer their alpha and take their territory?"

It seemed like a good idea as everyone started cheering.

That got me in high spirits. If a man was as kind and loving as Jacob conquered Caesar's father, he would free the slaves.

The girls would be free. My friends who were stuck in that dreadful place would be free. I jumped for joy.

Everyone had sat across a round table to make plans to rescue Liza and I was so relieved. I had been so worried that I would never be able to find her, but now I had hope.

Jacob and I gathered a few of his men and set out to rescue Liza. After a few hours of driving, we were able to find the pack.

I felt a chill down my spine as Jacob knocked on the door of the wolf pack's den. I had been held as a slave of this pack for so many years, and I was scared to see them again. I had managed to escape the night before, but I was still filled with fear. I had no idea what would happen when they saw me.

Jacob had come to the rescue with his men, and I was glad that he had my back. I hid behind him as the door creaked open and Alpha Damien, the leader of the pack, stepped out. He was followed by his son Caesar and Scott, the one who had enslaved me.

My heart raced as they saw me. Alpha Damien looked at me with a mix of shock and anger. I had never seen him so angry before. I saw Caesar's eyes widen in surprise as he recognized me. Scott, however, showed no emotion. He just looked at me with a blank expression.

Jacob stepped forward and demanded that they bring us my friend, Liza, who was also held as a slave. I was relieved when Alpha Damien agreed and motioned for one of his men to go get her.

I was filled with fear and excitement as we waited for her to arrive. I had been separated from my friend and I couldn't wait to reunite with her. After what felt like an eternity, I finally saw her walking towards us.

My eyes filled with tears as I ran towards her and hugged her tight. We both cried as we hugged each other.

Jacob looked at Alpha Damien and demanded that he release the rest of the captives. Alpha Damien laughed.

I watched in horror as Alpha Damien laughed. It was a deep, menacing laugh that made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. Soon, his sons Caesar and Scott joined in, laughing and jeering along with their father. Alpha Damien's face twisted into an ugly sneer as he asked if Jacob was a fool to think he could order him around.

Jacob stood his ground, but I could sense his fear. I had never seen Alpha Damien so angry before, and I was scared. He suddenly began to change, his body transforming into a big black wolf. I gasped in shock, my heart hammering inside my chest.

The wolf advanced towards Jacob, growling and snarling. Its fangs were exposed, dripping with saliva and spittle. I was terrified, my body frozen with fear. I wanted to run away and hide, but I couldn't move. I felt like I was in a nightmare, unable to wake up.

The wolf lunged forward, its teeth snapping dangerously close to Jacob's face. I screamed, my voice echoing in the night. Suddenly, Caesar and Scott stepped forward, pushing their father away. The wolf snarled, but it backed away, turning to look at me with its cold, yellow eyes.

I swallowed hard, my legs trembling as I backed away. Caesar and Scott looked at me sympathetically, but I couldn't bring myself to look at them. I was too scared. I just wanted to get away from this place.

Jacob, who had been silent up until now, suddenly spoke up. He told Alpha Damien that he would forget what had happened if he released the rest of the girls or boys he had captive. Jacob has said that he would never forgive him. His words left confusing looks on Alpha Damien, Scott, and Caesar's faces. Everyone turned to look at each other.

My heart was still pounding as I watched with anticipation as I wondered what would happen next. I wanted to tell Jacob to run away. He and his men because I knew how fierce Alpha Damien was in battle. He had never lost a fight before but before I could speak, Alpha Damien grabbed Liza, my best friend.
