Alpha Rylan

~ Dawn"This really has become a trend now, hasn't it?"The men stand in a tight semicircle in front of me, watching my every move with wary eyes. For whatever reason, they are trying to act as if their fingers don't quiver on their weapons, their feet ready to take a step backwards if it came down to it.Once upon a time, there were five men, however, I whittled it down to four. By accident, of course.The commander-in-chief stood in the middle, the staff in his hand, carved out of dark wood, sharpened at the tip with a metal cuff for holding at the base. Purity Pack members are against using firearms, or even silver. Right now, though, I can see he wants to use such weapons on me, and go against the Alpha's rules."Get to your knees," the sternness in his voice wavering with every word.My eyes roll unintentionally at the predictiveness of those for words. Commander Burke doesn't

~DawnIt took me at least two minutes to figure out where I was when I next opened my eyes.I haven’t stared at a ceiling in a long time. There has also never been something so comfortable and soft underneath me, or warm wrapped around me, since I ran away. The feeling is awfully daunting, and for a good moment, I am paralysed. And not from the drugs Rylan’s little team must have feed me last night. I sit up slowly, rubbing a mildly aching head. This is the first time I have let Rylan get to me. I shouldn’t have went in for the meeting...I know better then that.

~DawnThe restaurant was beautiful.It has been too long since I have had a taste of what civilisation looks like, but wealth? This place may be simple and quaint, yet I still see the little things that make it worth more than I could ever fathom. From the richly coloured table and classic art work strung on the wall. It made sense that this is one of Rylan's favourite places to go.The warmth from blazing, crackling fireplace to my left makes me aware of how warm it is in here. Shackles of heat wrap around my wrists, making me increasingly nervous. I feel Rylan's hand on the small of my back. "Shall we sit?"The queasy feeling building in my stomach wants to be expressed, however, I keep my mouth firmly shut. If I say something, I may anger Rylan, and that isn't going to get me any closer to Lucy. My poor little sister must be freezing outside, and h

~Dawn"This is a stupid idea," I grumble, flinching away from Lucy's touch. "I can hold up on my own for awhile yet. Let's just get away from the Purity Pack-"Lucy slapped me.The sound echoed around the trees, the jarring feeling shocking some sense into me. She had given me three hours to recover after my near collapse in the forest. I had been lucky to get away from the Elites in time, otherwise, I would been locked up in Rylan's home with him, or maybe in a prison somewhere."You'll be dead in another few days," she growls, as I rubbed my searing cheek. A part of me knows she is right. My legs feel heavy and sluggish, and I know that if I had to make a run from another Guard, I wouldn't make it. I don't know when the last time was that I ate a full, proper meal. Probably with Rylan...Since then, it's been small morsels.Lucy does

~Dawn A few more weeks passed. It got to the point where Lucy was going into the Pack, because it was too dangerous for me. Rylan has guards posted where we usually go in, and the amount of Elite's scouring the forest has almost tripled.  I hate him for it. He knows it too, since I told him.  "You're getting paler by the day," Lucy told me one afternoon. She stands over me, the golden sun glistening in her dark hair.  I'm aware of how hopeless I look, how sickly and disgusting. Lucy looks tired, but other than that, she is still my stunningly beautiful sister. Even if she looks a little ruffled a pink cheeked, as if she had been running. She has been pursued numerous times, especially lately, however, she is too quick for them. Perks of b
