After Silver Prison
Daniel, now a grown up, held me close, his burning kiss falling on my forehead as he whispered, “Rosie, will you become my mate?”
I’d thought all my years of praying had finally been answered. I’d believed I was the luckiest person alive.
However, at the end of the dream lay the icy walls of Silver Prison, Jessica’s vicious laughter, and Daniel’s cold, disappointed eyes.
I jolted awake. The lingering sweetness of candy still brushed my senses, only to be drowned by the sharp sting of disinfectant.
Above me wasn’t the blue sky of my puphood memories, but a stark, white ceiling.
