CHAPTER 4

SAPHIRE POV

We walked all the way to the packhouse and I saw people standing around everywhere outside. 

Some warriors were training in the field near the packhouse and other pack members were working around the packhouse like they always did. 

I walked past everyone as they were staring at me since I had an escort but I refused to look at any of them. 

When I first went into the packhouse I saw that it was unusually quiet but I could hear people off in the distance. In different directions. Upstairs and down the halls. They were all whispering so there’s no secret to me about what they were talking about. 

I knew that the warriors hated me because I didn’t bend to their will and do what is meant of me. They hated that I argued the point and I was defiant about everything because I actually spoke for myself instead of letting someone dictate my life to me. 

And Alpha Kyle doesn’t trust me. That’s always been obvious to me. 

I’ve never done anything to prove that I am a danger to the pack, but again, it comes down to my attitude. 

He probably thinks that I have the makings of being a traitor if someone approached me. So he always treated me like I was a traitor. 

When we got to his office I was told to go inside and Alpha Kyle was sitting behind his desk waiting for me. 

“So, I hear you’ve had an interesting morning.” He said. 

“Yeah. Why do you care?” I asked. 

“There was an unknown werewolf on our land and you failed to report it.” He said. 

“The man was barely alive. After I got help and went back to the river, he was gone. There was no point in reporting it.” I said. 

“Where is he?” Alpha Kyle asked. 

“How the hell should I know. I told you that he was gone.” I said. 

“Exactly. You don’t know where he is which means he could still be on our land doing goddess knows what.” He said. 

“You’re really paranoid. Do you know that?” I asked. 

“You broke protocol. You should have called it in.” He said. 

“The guy was bleeding to death. As soon as I stopped the bleeding I went to get help. What part of this don’t you seem to understand? I am getting sick of fucking repeating it.” I snapped. 

“You will not talk to me in that way.” He said. 

“Oh sorry. I guess you get enough of that from the bitch that you chose to be the Luna.” I said staring him straight in the eye. 

“This isn’t personal. This is because you did something wrong. Like you always do.” He said. 

“Following basic human instinct isn’t doing something wrong. I was trying to save a man.” I said. 

“And in doing so you’ve put the whole pack at risk.” He said. 

“The guy was delirious. If he is still on your land then it won’t be hard to find him.” I said. 

“I know. I’ve already got people out there now looking for him.” Alpha Kyle said. 

“Then what the fuck do you want with me?” I asked. 

“Because you’re being detained. You’re not allowed to leave the packhouse under any circumstances as of right now. You broke the rules and now you’re going to pay for them.” He said. 

“Are you fucking kidding me? Are you going to lock me in the dungeon as well?” I asked. 

“No. You’ll be given one of the dorm rooms on the first floor and you’re not allowed to leave that room. You’ll have a guard outside your door 24 hours a day.” He said. 

“You’ve got to be fucking kidding me. This is bullshit.” I growled causing Alpha Kyle to stand up from his chair so fast that it fell back on the ground. 

“Don’t you ever talk to me like that again. I am your Alpha and you will show me the respect that I deserve.” He growled, his Alpha aura spilling out over the room as I stood there and stared at him. 

I should have been on my knees in pain but instead, it didn’t affect me at all. 

That didn’t mean anything to him except my defiant attitude and believing that I was just too strong willed to be bent to his needs. 

If only he knew the truth. 

But I was hoping that he never would. 

“Guards. Get in here.” Alpha Kyle yelled. 

“Yes, sir.” Justin said as they opened the door.

“Take her to dorm room 1 and stand guard there until I tell you otherwise.” Alpha Kyle ordered. 

So Justin grabbed my arm and pulled me out of Alpha Kyle’s office and down the hallway to the dorm rooms. 

I was pushed inside a very little room with only a bed and a dresser in it and I heard the door lock from the outside of the room.

I looked down and I could see Justin’s feet standing outside the door, doing exactly as he was told like a good little puppy.
