Mina Wolf...I stepped backwards until my back hits the surface of the door.The large man standing in front of me tilted his head to the side as he assessed me, running his dark eyes up and down my entire body.His tongue peeked out to wet the corner of his lips."What's your name, sweetness?" He asked as he reached for his shirt and pulled it over his head, revealing scarred and heavily inked skin.I turned around and tried the door nob, aggressively twisting at it to open the door. But it didn't work.Gamma Luca had locked it from the out side.Turning back to the room, I stayed frozen in my spot with my back firmly pressed to the door.My panicked moves caused the man to bark out a hideous laugh."Nowhere to run?" He mockingly asked with another following laugh.Once he was done laughing, he trained his eyes on me and lifted his index finger to gesture me to come closer to him.I stayed by the door, wishing I could sink through it."Come here." The man ordered, his vo
Raphael Stars...Anger was boiling my body as I sat in my study, my elbows leaned against the edge of the desk.Waking up this morning to find the rouge Alpha Landor in my home was one thing. To have him sit around my dining table and suggest a night with Haden's daughter was another.As soon as he'd asked the question, my answer was no and it continued to be no through out the horrible breakfast. Landor did not back down from asking a night with her.'I will break her good for you.' He said.'She won't be the same after I'm done with her.' He said.Each time he spoke about her, my anger rose. The feral wolf in me stirred uncomfortably in my chest, adding more to my irritation.'You killed three of my wolves for Haden's daughter. I deserve to have my way with her.' He had tried to argue. 'I won't kill her. I'll make sure she lives to tell the tale of how it was to spend the night under a rouge.'That had been the last straw.I'd slammed my fist in to the dining table, lea
Mina Wolf...My eyes hurt at the intensity of my tears that refused to stop.Hours. I cried, sobbed, hated my existence for hours.I stayed rolled up in the two blankets without moving for those hours.Even when my tears finally dried up, I couldn't get myself to move.My muscles were aching at being balled up for hours and my entire body was screaming at me.The side of my face was throbbing and I could still taste blood in my mouth. The spots where the man had grabbed me were stinging. I was certain bruises have already formed on my pale skin.No one came to my cell but at some part of the day, maybe a little while after Raphael left me, I did hear the dungeon door opening and a few footsteps entering.But the footsteps echoed away from my cell until I couldn't hear them any longer.A few footsteps returned before they walked up the stairs and left.I briefly wondered what was going on. Last I checked, no one was in this dungeon other than me.Throughout the entire day,
I stood under the warm water as it sprayed down on me.With my head tilted back and my eyes closed, I tried to let the water wash away all my worries and stresses.The small splatters of the water caused discomfort to one side of my face, the one that was badly bruised.It was close to Lunch hour when Beatrice came to check on me again and she'd found me in the same spot, curled up in to a ball, shivering under the two blankets.This time, she didn't ask me to get up. She looked at the plastic bag and when she realized that I hadn't touched it, she grew angry.I didn't get to protest as she walked over to me and grabbed me by the arm to drag me out of the cell.My strength was no match to hers. She pulled me out of the dungeons as if I was a child caught doing something naughty.I tried to shake her grip away from my arm but she was not having any of it. I'd held on to the two blankets while Beatrice pulled me towards the main pack house. I'd kept my head low the whole way there, m
Raphael Stars...I stood by the window of my office, looking down at my mother's garden. The sight of the green flowers reminded me of the woman in the dungeons.It's been a full day since the rouge Alpha Landor tried to force himself on her. Even though I'd wanted to go check on her, I couldn't make myself leave the main pack house.I shouldn't care if she's hurting or not. That was the very purpose of me kidnapping her on the night of her mating ceremony.I was to inflict pain on her so Haden could feel it too, so he would see what his actions had brought to his front door. Yet, when I realized that Landor was going to hurt her, I couldn't just sit back and watch. The sight of him on top of her small figure was burned in to my brian and it kept me up all night.If I hadn't shown up in time...I shook my head, trying to get rid of the thought and image that was threatening to enter my mind.Letting out a sigh, I tore my eyes away from the garden and looked further away
Mina Wolf...I walked behind Beatrice as she led me towards the dungeons. The entire day, I'd been on high alert for anything and everything.After Beta Silver had helped me with the logs, I'd returned to the kitchen and waited by my corner.No one called out for me after that.When I'd returned to the kitchen, Cora was long gone and the omegas were finishing up washing the dishes.They'd left the wet dishes on the sink and I'd taken it up on myself to dry them.The rest of the day went on without a hitch and when the omegas returned to start making dinner, Beatrice came to take me to the dungeons.I followed her down the stairs and towards my cell. Once I entered my cell, Beatrice closed and locked the door before she turned around and left.I walked to the wall and slid down with my back pressed against it. I looked around and realized that I'd left my blankets in the bathroom.I looked over to the small window and focused on the soft glow provided by the moon
Raphael Stars...I leaned my back against the door of the dungeons and let out a sigh.What just happened in there?My heart was thundering in my chest, my pulse was beating like it never had before and my head was filled with a cloud of uncertainty.I looked down at my right hand with confusion, wondering what had gotten in to me.The purpose of me coming to the dungeons was to see how Luca was doing. I wanted to see if he'd learned his lesson.The thought of having to lock my gamma's wolf deep in the back of his head has been bothering me since the moment I made the choice.I knew Luca needed to be taught a lesson. What he did was unforgivable. Not only did he go against my direct order, but he also put her in danger.The fact that her safety mattered to me more than my authority boggled me.But what had been done was done and I knew two days was good enough to snap Luca out of whatever had gotten him when he dragged Zinnia to Landor's room.When I first stepped in to the d
Mina Wolf...It's back to log collection once again. First thing in the morning and Megan ordered me to go get more logs.The area near the back door of the main pack house is crowded by several logs that I'd collected for the last two days.Yet, Megan wanted more logs and if I said no, I knew that would bring me more trouble. So, I bowed my head and got to work.I mindlessly went to and from the main pack house, transporting freshly chopped logs from the woods by the two silver poles.Kalven, the large warrior that was set to keep an eye on me, kept following me as I went back and forth with the logs.My body was dragging from exhaustion but my mind was racing, constantly taking me back to the previous night and reminding me of the odd interaction I had with Raphael.After Raphael had left me last night, Beta Silver had shown up with a black plastic bag in his hands. He'd offered me dinner and went to sit on the ground with his back pressed against the bars.The entire time I was pick
