Chapter Three
2012 Words
-Alana POV-
As my eyes open, I lay eyes on what seems to be rock. My eyes try to adjust but it’s a little dark.
‘What happened?’ Hestia asks sounding groggy.
“Where am I?” I hold my head.
The moments those words leave my mouth, I remember everything.
We were heading to the meeting when suddenly our car got hit. We got diverted from the road and hit a tree. The minute I got out of the car, I got hit with a tranquilizer and lost consciousness.
I slowly sit up and look around me. My left wall and back wall are made out of natural rock.
(Are we in a cave?)
My front and right have metal bars and the right has a row of more cells.
Now I am enraged. “Who in their right mind would dare to imprison me!” I shout.
I get up and dust my clothes. I walk to the front bars ready to break them open.
“I wouldn’t.” I stop when I hear a familiar male voice.
I look to the cell next to mine and see someone sitting. He gets up and walks to the light.
“Kingston?”
“Princess, the bars are made of silver.” He says.
I am so confused. I stare at him and stare some more. He crosses his arms and also stares at me waiting.
“... What... what happened. What is going on?” I ask.
“Your guess is as good as mine. I just woke up about five minutes before you.” He says.
“How are you here?” I ask.
“I was attacked at your meeting place... in your territory.” He says lifting an eyebrow.
I open my mouth but close it. There’s nothing I can say to argue that.
(How did this happen? How did they get into my territory without anyone noticing?)
I look around. “And the others?”
He looks me up and down and then shakes his head. “I think we are the only ones that were taken.”
Fear rises inside of me. (I hope that the others are alright.)
I look at him and stare into his blue eyes.
“What-” I am interrupted by voices.
“These new specimens are both of Alpha blood. One female and one male.” Two men looking like scientists walk in.
“Get everything ready so we can start as soon as possible.” One of them says to the other one.
“Who the f**k are you!!” I shout.
The scientist that looks like is the leader glances at me but continues talking with the other man ignoring me.
“What do you want with us?” Kingston asks calmly.
But they still don’t respond. I get angry, well, angrier. I charge at the men through the bars. I can feel the silver burning my skin but I don’t care at this point. I reach my hand to one of the men and manage to grab his lab coat. The other man pulls him helping him and he gets out of my grasp.
“I am going to kill you!!” I shout.
The man I grabbed takes a deep breath and composes himself.
“The female seems to be more aggressive. Is this how Alpha females are?” He asks the other one.
“Female...?” I repeat irritated. I lunge again for him. “Wait until I get my hands on you! You’ll be begging for your life!!” I say as he backs away before I can grab him again.
They start walking out of the room talking with each other and ignoring me.
I am furious right now. I look at Kingston who has a calm unreadable expression.
“How are you so calm right now?”
“This is how I always look. Whether I am angry or calm.” He says.
I roll my eyes. I go to the middle of my cell and sit, calming myself. He looks my way and stares at me for a few seconds.
He takes his blazer off and then rolls his shirt sleeves up. He then sits near the bars next to me.
“For a second there, I thought it was you who kidnapped me.” He says.
“And why would I do that?” I ask him confused.
He smirks. “Because you know you can’t resist me.”
I stare at him. (Is he really doing this now?)
‘Arrogant bastard.’ Hestia says annoyed.
"We are in a bad spot here and you just want to flirt?"
He smirks. "I don't see a way we can get out, so why not make the best of things?" He looks at me like he is undressing me with his eyes which gives me butterflies.
(Fine, he wants to play that game, let’s play.)
“Funny, a little birdy told me that you couldn’t stop thinking about me.” I say giving him a side glance.
His smirk falls.
“Who? Who did you talk to? Was it Jack?” He says a little panicked.
I laugh because it was a lie.
“No one. But your reaction tells me that my little lie is actually true.”
‘Score one for us.’ Hestia says happily.
He looks at me like a deer caught in headlights and I can’t help take that moment to roam my eyes all over his body.
'Goddess! Those hard muscles don't look like they fit in his clothes.' I say to Hestia.
Hestia moans.
“... That... is not true.” He says softly then clears his throat. “We are in a bad situation right now and we should be focusing on that.” He says.
I squint my eyes at this bastard. “You started it and that is exactly what I told you!"
He gives me a smirk and I roll my eyes.
(This guy likes to tease me.)
I sigh. "Besides, I can easily get out if I want to. But now thinking clearly and not with anger... I think we should use this to our advantage.” I say.
“What do you mean?” He asks.
“These men are clearly part of the ones that created the Lycans, or at least I think they are. And we barely know anything about them. This is a great opportunity to change that.”
He nods deep in thought. “So I guess we are willingly staying here.”
I nod.
“Do you think you can handle it? We might be tortured.” He says.
“Trust me, I can handle it. Nothing they do can compare to dying.” I say.
He nods. “So then it’s true. You can’t die. I figured that since that kid, Christian. His powers were real so I thought that yours would be too but I wasn’t sure.”
“Actually, I can die, the problem is I don’t stay dead... well, a problem for the enemy.” I say feeling cocky.
“Well, in any case, you are right about this being the best way to learn about the enemy.” He says and stares at me for a few seconds.
“Not just beauty but you also are strong and smart.” He smirks and I have to look away because despite trying to act like he doesn’t affect me, he does. But I don’t want him to know that.
“Where do you think we are anyways.” I ask.
He looks around the room. “My guess is a cave but not in any of our territories. It feels much colder here. I think we are further North.”
He then looks at me. “You do know that one of us has a traitor in our pack, right?”
I look at him and nod. “Yea, I figured that. They knew exactly where we would be and where prepared.”
He nods and stays deep in thought but then we hear steps walking our way. Me and Kingston both get up.
A man dressed in black pants and shirt rushes by our cages and goes to the far end. He quickly opens one of the cells and waits. Then, we hear more steps and then some weak growling. We watch as three other men dressed in black walk carrying a dosed Lycan with the two scientists behind them. The Lycan has some red wires coming out of his head and on the back neck, there is a metal circular plugger. They walk past us and put the Lycan in the cage.
“Once he wakes up, let me know immediately.” The lead scientist says to the other one.
The men dressed in black quickly leave while the two scientists talk.
(They are all humans. I can smell them.)
They walk slowly as they talk and stop in between my cell and Kingston’s. They stop talking and look at us.
“Get them ready.” The lead scientist says.
“Which one fist?” The other one asks.
The lead scientist looks between us. “The female.”
(Good. I want to see what these fuckers are up to.)
Kingston takes a few steps forward. “Why her? Are you that much of a coward!?” This is the first time that his composure has left him. I can see anger in his eyes.
The scientist ignores him. “The female.” He says again confirming it.
The other scientist nods and they both leave while Kingston growls at them. I give Kingston a glance and watch his tense body relax a little.
“You know that this is exactly what I want, right?” I say.
He takes a deep breath. “Are you sure?”
I nod.
He’s about to say something but then the scientist comes back with one of the men dressed in black and he is carrying a long pole with a small metal circular rod at the end.
They stop in front of my cell.
“This can go easy female wolf.” He says to me.
“She-wolf dumbass.” I mumble but I make sure he hears me.
He clears his throat. “Do as you are told, and we won't have to use this.” He points at the long rod.
I roll my eyes.
“Strip.” He says.
My eyes flare when he says that.
“You p*****t!” I shout.
The scientist looks confused and then his cheeks turn pink.
“No... I mean... you have to take your clothes off. I didn't mean strip in a perverted way... I … it... it’s purely scientific... "
He starts panicking.
‘We are not going to make it easy for them.’
The man in black rolls his eyes clearly getting impatient. He takes a small gun out and points it at me.
‘That doesn't look like a normal gun.’ Hestia says.
The man shoots me. A small plastic needle protrudes from my hip and then pain surges through my body.
“f*****g wolfsbane!” I shout as I kneel on the ground.
I hear Kingston give a small growl. I look at him and his body tenses up. His hands turn into fists and he looks away holding it in.
They open the cell and walk closer to me. Then, for no damned reason, the man in black takes the rod and puts it on my neck. Bolts of electricity go through my body. I scream as my body shakes.
Now I am furious.
‘Kill him!’ Hestia growls.
I look up and ignore the pain from the wolfsbane. I lunge at him and he falls backward with me on top. I start slicing him with my claws. He screams and screams with me on top of him but I continue slicing until I feel a sharp pain on my neck and then my vision goes black.
