OLIVIA
I am slowly waking up, trying to understand why my head feels so foggy and disoriented. I try to search for Skye in my mind, but I can’t seem to reach her or feel her. It almost feels like she is gone. Next, I try to open my eyes, but again, it is hard, so I wait for a little before trying again.
I slowly open my eyes and find myself in something that looks like an old-school prison torture room. My hands instantly go to my stomach, and in the same second, I feel the pup give a kick, making me breathe out in relief. I begin to remember what happened. Whoever did this must be crazy because I was so close to my dad, and Logan had been only a few meters away, not to mention there had been so many more there, Alphas and warriors. So whoever did this must have done a lot of planning or just been really lucky.
I am locked in silver chains from my wrists to the wall. They don’t burn but feel itchy, which tells me something must be on the chains because the moon goddess told us silver wouldn’t affect me. I take another look around you to see if there is anything that can tell where I am or how to get out of here. I have not bothered to try mindlink because I know if I can’t feel Skye, there is no way I can get through to Logan either.
The sound of a heavy and old door opening reaches me, and I wait to see if anyone is coming. After a while, I can hear two pairs of footsteps coming closer. Then I hear someone whisper to the other one, and the other whispering back a woman and a man, I think. At first, I couldn’t hear it very well, and only a few words, but then the whispers got louder.
“I want to beat that pup out of her. It is supposed to be me!” The female voice whispers.
“Maybe the boss will do it. What am I saying? Of course, he will do it.” The Male answered.
“I wish he would just kill her altogether.” The female says, whispering again.
“He won’t. You know he wants her for himself.” The man answered. And she sneers something I don’t hear.
Then they go quiet for a while until the sound of the door opening again, and heavy footsteps sound through the stone walls.
“Is she awake?” A deep familiar voice sounded.
“We do not know, Master. You came before we could look.” The other man’s voice sounds.
“Then let us check.” The new voice said, and I could hear them all get closer.
I look at the ground and wait for them to get here while I again try to search for Skye in my head and soul, but I still don’t feel anything and begin to get worried. The door to my cell goes up, and I hear all three pairs of footsteps coming in.
“I know you are awake, my dear Olivia.” The third voice says. And now I know for sure I know that voice. It belongs to no other than Alpha Colton. Wait, just Colton. He isn’t even an Alpha anymore.
When I don react, he comes close to me, grabbing my hair and making me look up. Forcing my head up, I get to see the two others and am shocked to see it is Sandra and Ryan. Colton must see my small shock because he laughs.
“These two reached out to me, my dear Olivia. And told me you have not been a good girl.” Colton says. When I don’t say anything, he smiles and continues.
“So, my dear Olivia.” He says and touches Logan’s mark on my neck, making me cringe and feel sick. I hate that he touches me and try to move away, but he grabs my chin hard and forces me to look at him.
“You are going to be a good girl. Reject the Alpha, and I will let you give birth to this pup. And send it to its dad when you do. And after you reject him, you will accept me as your chosen mate.” He finishes.
“Never. I will never reject him.” I say, Looking into his eyes.
“If you don’t, I will have this pup killed.” He says without smiling.
“You are crazy. All of you. And I will enjoy watching Logan and Titan rip you all into small pieces.” I sneer.
“He will never find you. Even when the wolfsbane is gone, the silver will keep you from reaching out.” He says, smiling and finally letting go of my chin. So it was the wolfsbane that made my brain foggy. They don’t know Skye, and I are resistant to silver. So I don’t say anything and hope Skye will soon recover from the wolfsbane.
“For the sake of your pup’s life, I think you should do as I say,” Colton says, smiling smugly at me.
“Never,” I whisper. Trying to move away as much as I can.
“I understand it is hard. So I will give you two days to think it over and come to your senses.” He tells me and turns around to leave.
I hear them walk away. And I begin to feel my senses coming back to me, so I try to reach out to Skye. I can feel her stir somewhere in the back of my mind, and that is an improvement. I can only wait and hope that I will soon be able to talk with Skye and contact Logan. And hopefully, he will be able to find me fast and before Colton can do any real harm.
‘Skye.’ I try again and feel nothing.
‘Skye, please fight. I need you. We need to get out of here.’ I try again, and this time I feel her stronger.
Fight it, Skye. I really need you. More than anything, I tell myself.
