Turning so I can see Caramel eat her ugly look stuff, I discovered some odd. Rushing to a sitting position, I looked around to see all the women in the cages wearing The same uniform and their hair in the same style. Both short and long, except those with extremely short hair like the lady seating in the opposite direction I am seat.
We all have the bowl of ugly-looking food on a plate in each of the cages. And as I thought last night, they are three in each cage except mine with just Caramel and me. They were all busy eating from the plate except me and a lady with extremely short hair.
Her eyes were fixed on mine as if trying to tell me something amd before I k ow what was happening, the woman began to drop.
“What’s happening?” Caramel panicked as she looked around in fright.
She kept staring at me as of asking me what was happening when I equally know nothing. Soon, she slowly pushed the plate aside and moved closer to the edge of the cage. Her breath began to slow down and with her gaze fixed on mine, she closed her eyes and… fell asleep?
Now it’s my turn to panic!
I looked around to see almost all the women down except four of us. Two dropped soon and it’s remaining the lady with the short hair, I, and something of.
She held the plate, placed her hand inside, and stared blankly at me while rolling her hand in the plate. Slowly she raised her hand to her mouth, rubbed the dirty hand over her mouth, and dropped it like the rest. Before I got what she was trying to show me, the door burst open and some group of men walked in.
Although it was too late but I pretend to sleep hoping it would work just like night but who was I kidding? They saw right through my pretense amd walked straight to my cage.
The next thing I felt was being yanked by my ankle and pulled out of the cage and inside I have no idea. Still, I pretend to be sleeping even after being dropped hard on the floor.
“You know you suck at acting, get the fuck up”.
That voice!
I heard that voice yesterday and I know it sounded so familiar but I don’t want to believe it until I opened my eyes and face my nemesis.
“Hello, Rain” Camille greeted with a flat smile on her face.
Getting up to my feet, I looked around and snarled. So they have a nice room like this and they chose to keep us in a cage. Walking away from her, I set my fists in front of me ready for anything.
“Raven wasn’t kidding when she said you have changed,” Camille said.
Wait a minute!
Am I missing something or something is missing me?
Camille’s face was as cold as I have always known it. Filled with everything hidden.
“Say something, Rain, you are not speaking!” She yelled as she rushed towards me “I see you have something for Alpha’s since you made Alpha Rex claim you”.
I didn’t say anything and also did not let her touch me. I can’t let that happen, not at all. Making sure I dodge all her attempted pushes, I then have the time to take a second thought about her finding out about Rex’s mark when she had not seen it.
Did Brook tell her about this?
I know they would be in it together because that alone can explain why he always let her beat the shit out of me when I was in their park.
Enraged, began to move in circles, making sure Camille does not have any time to get behind my back. The squeaky sound of an opening door got my attention amd I looked over to see who it might be.
Wasn’t too surprised to see the Queen of the demons, a small smile spread across my face as I grimmed.
“Hello, Rain” Raven smirked, “I bet we have not officially met”.
Looking from Camille to Raven, I raised my brows with a flat smile on my face. Birds of the same feathers must surely fly together so seeing the Queen of evil together wasn’t more of a big challenge. What’s more of a big challenge is seeing the door open again and Alpha Broom walked in.
“Mira, meet Raven and Olivia” Brook smiled “Although you have known them as Raven amd Camille already and they are here so we can all continue from where we stopped and that involves a laboratory”.
I froze in terror, I could feel my heart suddenly drop in my stomach and a loud gasp emitted from my mouth, my enlarged eyes not letting go of them.
If I can say something in my mind to interact with Rex, that’s what I need now. I need him to tell him to come to rescue me and I will be a good girl for the rest of my life
“Wat… What.. are you doing here?” I stammered, without my visions leaving them.
You never can tell, I might receive another blow from Brook on my face and will definitely not survive it this time.
I know perfectly well that this will not end well, not when they are here for my worst fear, to make me shift. Turning my eyes to Brook, he looked very cool and didn’t seem to budge about their presence, an act which puzzled me.
“But first, Raven will be going back to see how your supposed mate is doing, and now of the will agreed to tell his park that their Luna is missing,” Brook said.
Oh no!
He knows who I am amd that makes it scarier.
Watching Raven walk away was satisfying, especially when I noticed this small sad look on her face before she quickly plastered a fake smile on it. For Camille, I can’t tell why Brook is trying to call her Olivia but I think it’s not my business.
What’s my business is the look on his face as she brought out an empty syringe from his pocket and walked toward me.
“We just need a little of your blood to taste it on Caramel again,” Brook said “I heard she survived your killer bite since Rex refused to tell you how dangerous your bite is”.
What the heck is he talking about?
In confusion, I stared at Brook and then at Camille who had a pretentious pitiful look on her face.
“Rex is too greedy to tell you” Brook grimmed “That’s why he marked you ahead so he won’t get affected”.
Can I call it a miracle? Maybe not. Anyway, it’s still good news to have Ashina back. I can’t talk to her yet but I can feel her. Faintly, she is there, wanting to help, to do something, to shift desperately.
Three days have passed and no sign of freedom. As far as I see, we are n the middle of nowhere. Just woods that doesn’t really get dirty and no rain. The sun here feels warm, not hot like the normal sun like I know.
Every day just goes like it had been planned for us which I know it would. Ever since Alpha Brook told me about my dangerous bite, I could not help but wonder if I am really cursed.
My killer bite? What was Brook talking about?
I am sure I bit Rex too. I bit his palm and it took him three days to heal. Unlike Caramel it took her two weeks and even more. Should I talk about Mira I only scratched and she had to stay for a week.
‘I am actually cursed’.
If not, I can’t explain why it was hard for me to shift for years, why my first shift hurts, why am I a black wolf, and why Caramel didn’t heal for a while when I bite her. He did say ‘again’ when talking about testing my blood on her.
Has he tried it before? That night they came to carry her.
Accordingly to Brook, he said Rex marked me for a reason. What could that reason be? After he marked me, I didn’t see him for a whole week I realized that he has been in his office buried in stuff.
