The words slipped out before Riley could process everything. She stepped back and was ready to leave when the hooded stranger spoke. "Hello Riley. We meet again." Riley spun around, trying to allow her eyes to adjust to the darkness. She couldn't see anything besides the large screen at the opposite end of the room and the chairs all in neat rows. She knew this room as she had watched a movie or two here during rec time. However, she couldn't make out who it was sitting on one of the love seats. He definitely hid himself well under the hooded sweatshirt. His voice, though, sounded familiar at that point. Where it didn't hit her before, the familiarity hit her this time. She just couldn't put a name to the voice. She also vaguely remembers the smell too. Like she smelt it before, just not as strong and potent as it was now. Where had she smelt it? "I can see the wheels turning in your head. What are you thinking about?" "Who are you? We've met before, but I just can't pinpoint

As much as Riley tried to get back to the dream state, she was unsuccessful at reaching her stranger, her mate. She hadn't gotten any answers to where she was being kept, and she was still recovering from the wolfsbane that Ollie had drugged her with. She was gaining more energy, and she could feel Ava every now and then, but the silver keeping her in the basement kept her weak enough so she wouldn't shift. Ollie was being kind since she started pretending to be interested in him. He would bring her her meals, give her water to bathe herself with, take the bucket out when it got full of her waste, and combe her hair. Other than that, she kept talking to a minimum to try and earn his trust through actions. The door swung open, and Ollie walked in, taking a big sniff of the air and sighing to himself. Something was wrong. "Are you okay?" "She wants me to take care of you, but I can't ever stay. She wants updates but doesn't want to visit yet. She says I'm yours, but she won't let m

Riley woke up shielding herself from the sun, but there was no sun. She had just come upstairs before she passed out. Did they put her back into the basement? She looked around and noticed she was laying on the couch still and was indeed upstairs, but it was night outside. She heard someone humming a tune as she tried to sit up. "Riley! You're awake. Please take it easy. Don't sit up too quick," Ollie said, rushing to her side. He helped Riley sit up slowly. "What happened?" she said as she held her head from the pounding inside. "We think it's from a combination of shock and lack of energy from the silver bindings. You're still lacking in energy. It doesn't help that you have hardly eaten since being here. You're always sleeping or crying." "Well, maybe if you didn't keep me chained up, I would be more myself," she said too weak to actually be angry. "Don't worry dear, I have some food coming over to you right now," the evil woman who claimed to be her mother said. Her mothe

"Hey, sorry to wake you. I was allowed to come down here, and I was hoping I could crawl in and lay next to you," Ollie said as he leaned down next to the bed. There was something different about Ollie besides the evil that she couldn't piece together. She scooted back and allowed him to crawl in the bed with her. Again, he laid down facing away from her. So she once again held him. She could feel his shoulders shake, like he was crying. "I'm so sorry for all of this, Riley. I don't know what's happening with me. My head hurts. It feels so cloudy." This was her chance to maybe get more information from him. "It's okay, Ollie. I know you would never intentionally hurt me. I'm glad it's you." "Do you mean that? You're not mad at me?" "No. I could never be. You're my best friend and we've known each other for years. This isn't you. What happened?" "She's listening. You know I can't answer this. Please, listen and behave. We will make it out of here and be together." He st

Ollie unchained Riley, and they made their way upstairs to meet the Rogue King. Riley's heart started to race the closer they got. She was finally going to meet the man, or better yet, the monster who has been keeping her prisoner. Her anger rose as well. She wanted to rip this man to pieces. She could feel Avas anger as well, but Ava was not strong enough to come through with the silver chained around her ankle. They finally made it up the stairs and headed for the living room, where she saw a large man standing with his back turned to her. He was speaking with her mother. He turned once she was closer, and when he turned, he was beautifully handsome. Riley was taken aback as she was not expecting this. He was large, like an Alpha should be, older but yet young at the same time. He had long brown hair and hazel eyes that stared deeply into her soul. He had the Rogue scent to him, but it didn't overwhelm her as he also smelled a bit like a campfire and honey. "So this must be Riley
