A loner's call.

The other girl

Ferrum

My day in the dungeon didn't compare to the hardships I went through in live.

I'd been beaten to an inch of my life.

Left bloodied and unconscious.

Starved. Gone days without food.

Lost my family and friends at such a young age.

Yet what frightened me the most was the dark, being caged and chained to a wall with silver cuffs.

I didn't know when I'd be let out... if ever. My feet barely touched the ground so that the burning feeling of the silver could be felt at a higher level.

They didn't feed me. No, they just left me in a cage with a rotting corpse. The stench made me gag with every intake of air.

I quickly learned that the guards switched off every 2 hours and that's how I kept up with the time.

I'd only been in here a day yet they managed to strip me of energy, to take away my confident stride.

By the time they opened the doors, unchained me, and pushed me to walk I had come to the conclusion that my punishment would be beyond my control.

I was still naked when I walked into a small room. There was a table with a few people sitting at it and at the head was a man.

That's when I caught his scent. My mate's scent. So strong and invading my senses, I felt hopeful but kept it hidden.

All of a sudden I heard something slam against the wooden table, it sounded like a hammer crashing down upon it. But it was his hand.

" Everyone out!" He snarled, the dominating boom of his voice sent delicious shivers down my spine.

Shuffling feet filled the air and soon there was silence.

I heard his feet move toward me and then his voice sounded the air." I'm sorry..."

His voice had me shivering once again. After those two words were spoken he urged me to sit and we had a short conversation.

His name was Aiden and the future alpha of Creasent Mood. The alpha part explained his dominating nature. And his possession that seemed to grow over me.

We were talking when a woman a little shorter than me but way more filled in around boobs and butt, walked in. She didn't even seem to notice us... or me for that matter when her overly high pitched voice filled my ears

" Aiden," She began. She eyes raked over his bare chest, he'd given me his shirt to cover up with. Her desire for him was all to clear and it had my wolf snarling in my head." My father was wanting to know when our mating ceremony would be taking place."

I swear I growled but no one seemed to have heard it. Aiden was about to tell me something before she waltzed in but it seemed she beat him to it.

My chest constricted into a tight knot, my hurt was evident when I looked into my mates eyes but I stuffed it down.

He growled," Don't you see I'm busy right now, Chelsea? Get your head out of your ass for a second and pay attention for once. Leave. Now." He used his alpha voice... it was sexy and I hated myself for thinking that.

Chelsea was flabbergasted by this and went to say something but Aiden cut his burning gaze to her once more. Before she left she finally noticed me and she threw daggers my way.

Once the door was shut firmly behind her there was an uncomfortable silence between myself and my mate.

" I was about to-" I stopped him. I held back to urge to angrily voice my thoughts of him. I'd known this would happen, that he'd already had someone.
