I was still standing in the spot where I had ended up, after Beta Chad had dragged me into the office. I was absentmindedly rubbing where Beta Chad had grabbed my arm. These beasts are so rough! At some point they were bound to break bones. I looked up and saw that Alpha Cole's attention was on the paperwork on his desk. Suddenly, he looked up and caught me watching him. The gaze he gave me made my core clench. "What the fuck?" I thought, shocked by my physical response to him."Come here," he snapped, pointing his pointer finger to the side of his chair. Unbelievable! He was commanding me like I was a dog. It seemed like I was nothing more than a bitch to him. It was obvious my life had zero value to him or the members of his pack. To him, I was just like every other girl before me. Well... he was a pathetic excuse of a man as far as I was concerned. I slowly walked towards him, and stood at the edge of his desk, not wanting to get any closer to him

As I sat on my bed I couldn't help but think about what Heidi had said earlier. As a form of punishment the wolves hunted girls. In that moment, I decided that I had to find out about the hunts that the wolves did. Was it only as a punishment? Or did they do them for other occasions as well? Is that why no girls ever came back home?Suddenly I realized why the girls here were the way they were. These girls would constantly be living in a constant state of fight or flight. That meant that these girls would have emotional damage from the constant emotional stress they would be living with every day. I had to finally admit to myself what I had been fighting all day, living here in this place was going to destroy me like it had done to them.  What if it reached a point where I felt the only option I had was to take my own life because I didn't want to live any longer? But if I did that, would Alpha Cole see that as me not fulfilling my part of the sacrifice? Would he then hu

The she wolves were in the process of getting out of the hot tub when Alpha Cole walked into the bathroom. He stood just inside the doorway, obviously waiting for them to leave. "Get out," he growled.The she wolves along with Heidi and I started to make our way out of the bathroom, but Alpha Cole grabbed me by the arm and said, "Not you. You're staying here with me."Once everyone was out of the bathroom, Alpha Cole turned and shut the door, before locking it. I watched as he slowly and seductively made his way towards me. A smirk playing on his lips, as the belt around his waist was unbuckled, and his pants fell to the floor, revealing his manhood in all its glory. My eyes went wide, and I quickly looked away, looking anywhere but at him. Suddenly the situation changed as the heat in my cheeks, burned with passion. God he was hot. But I had to remind myself I was there for Haven, and if I allowed myself to get to close to Alpha Cole, I might

As I made my way upstairs to continue on with my chores, I realized something. No one here was my friend. Everyone here was my enemy. Even Heidi. I would be stupid to trust anyone here. The only person that I can really trust here is me!"No honey, not true. You can trust me too. You'll see," the voice in my head whispered. "Yeah right!" I scoffed silently.I was so annoyed at what had happened in the bathroom earlier. Alpha Cole had played with me like a cat plays with a mouse. It was all a game to him. A mental game. A physical game. A predators game! I wasn't an idiot. I knew that Cole wanted to brake me down. He couldn't help himself. At the end of the day, he was just an animal.If I wanted to survive here, I needed a strategy. Wolves were psychological creatures. They were driven by hunger. They didn't let emotions get in their way. To them it was all about instinct. Sure werewolves were part human, but from what I had observed already, they w

Following Cole's orders, Ashleigh timidly took me by my elbow and led me through the house towards the front door. As we made our way out of the house, she leaned in and whispered, "I'm sorry."Looking at her, I gave her my coldest glare as I replied, "Your apology means nothing to me. You are a coward and a liar. I thought I could trust you, but clearly I was wrong!"Ashleigh continued walking with me in silence, as we made our way past the large pond, and walked toward the tree line which was located on the far side of the yard. We had just reached the treeline, when I was suddenly ripped from Ashleigh's side by two male werewolves, and slammed against the rough bark of a tree. As my front was pressed up against the tree, my arms were pulled around the tree and handcuffs were fastened around my wrists, securing me to the tree with my hands out front. Once everyone had gathered around to watch me get punished, Alpha Cole began"Twenty lashes followed by four da
