Chapter 3: Imprisonment

Toffe

I woke up with a bad headache and was chained to the bed, the room was dull and cold and I was a bit confused about why I was here. A few moments passed and it started coming back to me, Roman had knocked me out and I was furious, I hated him, I tried linking my mother again but I couldn't link anyone and felt weak. I heard the door and an omega girl brought up some food for me and left, I was hungry so I ate. I watched the sunrise and sunset out the little window and estimated I was locked in here for at least two weeks. I was fed and given a bath at least twice since being locked up, I was on the bed crying, missing my mother and my brother, why did Roman do this? I loved him, all of them, and now I have no one, I was awakened by a slight jerk from the guard, he felt pity on me and said, "Kid, if you want to survive this, do what he says."

I recognized him as one of my brother's friends and he hugged me and I cried, he explained that my mother was shipped off to another pack but she was alive, I couldn't link her because she was banished from the pack link. He said, "If you want anything just ask for me," I asked for his name and he said it was Kenrig and he has a teenage son a few years older than me named, Tommen. We built a friendship and he would talk about his son before I was summoned to the King's chambers. Roman made sure I was cleaned and I walked there accompanied by his guards, I didn't know what to expect, I walked into the dining room and he asked me to sit and eat with him. I ate and saw Lily smile at me, and she wasn't pregnant anymore, after lunch, he said, "Are you ready to apologize to your father?" I looked at Roman and said, "Yes Father, I am sorry for the trouble I caused," and he smiled saying, "Good, you will resume your duties, now kneel and pledge your allegiance."

I don't know what came over me but I remember the promise that I made to my mother and said, "I won't bow down, Your Majesty," and he said, "Well, that's the only way, son," and I yelled, "You are not my father," and he smacked me down. Roman looked at me forcing his aura on me and said, "If that's the way you feel, you will be imprisoned until you beg for your forgiveness and kiss my feet," and told the guards to lock me up at the prison in his special room. Lily yelled, "Roman, he is a child," and he said, "I know but he needs to be disciplined," and she looked at him, "That is not discipline, you will make him hate you more." I was led out because she was right, I hate him and I will continue to hate him, I will never bow to him, even if it kills me.

Thirty Years Later

As the years moved on, I was still imprisoned because every time he asked me to bow, I refused and he was angry that I didn't break, so he up his torture with beatings and lashes, scaring my back. He had my Lycan repressed, so I was practically human, and my magic was never unlocked because he had me too weak. The Elders warn him but his ego won't let him admit that he was wrong about keeping me here. I showered once a month and ate every three days so that I would beg him to be set free, I never did and I stopped speaking. Kenrig was killed a few years ago trying to get me out, he was loyal to Aidan and his family bent a knee to Roman to survive, they were stripped of titles and made omegas working as slaves.

I started to lose hope and I wasn't feeling my mother anymore, she probably died, but I was too weak to feel it. He would send girls to try and manipulate me but I did not fall for his schemes, I always heard a tiny voice inside my head telling me to hang on, it would all be worth it in the end and I believed them. I lay my head on the cot for the night and dreamed about being with my brothers in the garden of life. I always remember them as they were when we were all happy and before I wake up, I would wish that I could stay just a bit longer. An Elder named, Kyle would come and say, "I am against this but drink," and he would give me a potion to heal my wounds until I was moved to a different facility.

900+ Years Later

I have been moved around too many times to count over the years, I am a shell of myself, I wanted to die so many times over the years, but something won't let me die. Even when I was on the brink of death, I would pass out and survive countless tortures, I was injected with different things to wake my magic, and my wolf was probably dead. I had never met him, and life was just dragging on, I don't know how long I have been here or how old I am anymore. I wanted to see my family again, I just wanted to die, maybe this time, I could see my father, and my mother, not just my brothers, why have the moon goddess forsaken me? One day, I was lying on the bed after a round of torture and I was healing slowly, and this time, they almost killed me, I had what appeared to be broken ribs.

As the years passed, I heard a link coming through which was unusual because no one had linked me in years, not even Roman, I was practically forgotten about. It sounded like my brother and I smiled, he said, "Hey kid, where are you?" I said, "I don't know, but I am in prison," "Hang on, Toffe, I will find you," and the link was closed. I knew that I was dreaming and this was my wish, I would finally get to see him in the end, as time passed on, I hung on to the tiny hope that I would see Ty until another link came through, a stronger one, "Toffe, do you know who this is?" and I replied, "This is, Ty, I assumed I'm finally dying and you are here to take me with you, but will I see you in the end?" He said, "Relax brother, and say nothing, I will explain when we meet," before closing the link.

Roman

I loved Toffe but my ego wouldn't allow me to be disrespected, I was his father damn it, why can't he just bow so we can build our relationship? Lily was angry about the way I treated him, but eventually, Toffe was forgotten, Kenrig tried to free him and I had him executed and labeled his family traitors. They fled to Faeora and once they stayed there, I couldn't touch them, I wasn't going to go to war with the Fae King, his allies were too big. I started moving Toffe around from prison to prison to avoid another escape attempt and changed up his guards sometimes. Especially if the guards are too friendly, I sold Stella into prostitution and she made a lot of money, she was good and I remember when I had her under me but now Drogo has marked and mated her, so I left her alone. She did make a lot of money in the breeding house, and she pushed out quite a few soldiers over the years, but I guess she has retired and I smile to myself.

A lot of time has passed and there are new Alphas in town and they are making a name for themselves, I don't like it because powerful people can become threats to the throne and I want to neutralize it immediately. They were not easy people to have a meeting with and I was invited to their grand ball, celebrating the opening of the new building and becoming newly fresh billionaires. However, I was invited to a private dinner just a few days before the big ball with Alpha Ares and his beautiful girlfriend and after spending a lovely night with my wife, I got word that Toffe had escaped and I needed to go to the prison. When I got there, the massacre I saw, shook me a little, who would have the power to pull this off? Especially in this facility and I was furious, I wanted my son back, my prized possession. All the footage was gone and no one was left alive except for a few who were badly injured, I wanted them interrogated, I needed to find out who was working with the prison breakers.
