David walked away and he didn’t return for an entire day. I ate the breakfast that had
gone cold now. From the sunroof, I could see that an entire day had passed. The sun was
going down again. By now I was bored out of my mind, and starving. Two portions of a
simple breakfast aren’t enough to feed a werewolf. David knows this, I know he is
punishing me for still not wanting him. For still defending Griff. But I would never stop
doing that.
“Ayla, you need to be smart about this like our mate is doing” Hearing Willow’s voice made
me sag with relief.
When David told me I wouldn’t be able to shift I was scared I would lose Willow. Being
suppressed for too long can kill your wolf. And in most cases, your wolf dying means you
will die too. Or you will go insane, so there is hardly any good outcome to losing your wolf.
It means you will be missing a part of you for the rest of your often short life.
Willow was right of course, I needed to be smart about this. But I don’t know how, I need
Griffin to hug me. To tell me things were going to be alright. I felt bad acting like I believed
David or pretending like I was disappointed in Griff. I have been so very vocal about not
trusting him, about not being able to love again. Now that I do, now that I am finally able
to tell everyone how much I love my mate. How good it is to be mated, I don’t want to go
back. I don’t want to tell anyone that Griffin is not good enough for me. Not even to David.
Yesterday I found a simple bar of soap and some old, rough, towels. Not much but it’s
better than nothing and I desperately need a shower. Showering means getting undressed
though and it scared me. The other problem is the clothes, there are some clothes for me
here but by

the looks and smell of them, the clothes are David’s. Wearing his clothes, feels off. It’s the
cute kind couply thing I want to do with Griffin.
Things I do with Griffin, I wear his clothes to bed. They’re big on me, soft and comfy. And I
love feeling asleep surrounded by even more of his scent. My skin crawled thinking about
falling asleep, surrounded by David’s scent. However, my other options were washing my
clothes, and hanging them out to dry in this damp musty room. Waiting for them to dry
which will most likely never happen, sleep naked or wash myself only to wear the same
dirty clothes. Clothes I have been wearing for two days straight. Clothes that weren’t
really mine either but they were female clothes at least.
In the end, I decide I need to take care of myself the best I can, keeping clean, eating, and
resting when I can. It all is about taking care of myself. Keeping strong so that I can try
and find a way out of here. With that knowledge, I drag a chair inside of the bedroom so I
can block the door. Because conveniently it doesn’t have a lock. The shower is cold and
the water does not get warm either. I don’t even know why I expected it to be warm. He
kidnapped me and put me in a musty homemade dungeon. Of course, he didn’t grant me
a warm shower, but at least I was clean now. After having picked out the clothes that
smelled like him the least I crawl back into the bumpy bed.
This is the first time since being here I actually try to get some sleep. The first few hours I
was out of it. Because whatever it was they injected me with it was strong stuff. Yesterday
I just cried myself to sleep, and now I am lying in this bed teeth still chattering. Shaking
from cold and hunger sleep does not find me. All that does find me is the memories of my
time with Griff. Or fears about what he is doing now, and if I am ever going to find a way
out. Or if Griff is coming to find me which spirals me into fearing what he will think when
he sees me wearing David’s clothes, smelling of him, soundly sleeping in David’s bed.
Realistically I know Griff wants me to do all I can to keep
safe. My heart and mind just do not seem to agree. Until I find myself crying again.

Another morning where I woke up from the door creaking. After having cried myself to
sleep. I hate how I am kind of relieved to hear David walk into the dungeon. Not because
of him no. All that he accomplished by kidnapping me was that I hated him more than
ever. Me the one who saved his pack from going to war so many times.
But when I take a deep breath I realize it is not David who walked into the dungeon. I have
been up close and personal with this person more times than I count. More times than I
would have wanted to. Being so up close to this wolf all the time, imprinted her scent on
my mind. Hannah being involved doesn’t surprise me at all.
“Look, who is pack, Queen of the pack right” She sneers at me.
Something in her voice brings me back to the moment I was kidnapped. The voice I heard
when I was slipping in and out of conscience. That was Jason, Hannah’s brother. The man

become the Beta the day David would become the Alpha. So it seemed like that had
happened just like everyone thought it would.
“Does it hurt, knowing you will never measure up to the she-wolf you felt was the
weakest? First David, then Griffin, and now David again.” Sucks to be you right?” I smirk
“David rejected you because of me, I was the one who wanted more. I decided I wanted to
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmbecome the Queen. I always get what, so I am about to get your second chance mate”
She mocked me.
“ENOUGHHHH” David’s voice boomed through the dungeon.
He scolds Hannah for harassing his mate. This man is delusional, the
two of them bicker. Unaware of the fact that I am still in the room. Turns out Hannah is
here, to help me get some clothes and toiletries. I would rather not accept this “kind”
gesture. The other option was to keep wearing David’s clothes and that was the worst of
two evils. So I let Hannah poke at me, making me turn around like a priced puppy. She was
just messing with me.
Tears threaten to spill from my eyes again, I cannot let them see me cry. But this is all so
hopeless, I am dependent on Hannah to get me clothes. David feeds me if I am kind
enough. Now the two people that made my life the biggest hell before this experience. Are
now the two people who can keep me alive? Who can keep me strong enough to find an
escape if I ever see one? Which at this point seems to be very unlikely too.
“Well, I am sure I can find some suitable clothes in the children’s department. Toodeloo”
Hannah giggles and all I can do is roll my eyes.
“Don’t look so sour, she is helping you out you know. Now, can you behave this time so we
can have breakfast in peace together? I even brought you something to keep you
entertained when I am gone. After all, it is a lot of work to be the Alpha. You should be
grateful I could have a good few years before having to take over. But I had to make sure,
that my parents wouldn’t come between us anymore.”
Nothing registers with me anymore, all I can think about is if he really just set what I
thought he said. If he got rid of his parents, if he killed them thinking it would give him a
chance with me. He was even more dangerous than I thought he was.
