What the She-Wolf Wants

Chapter 17

All right, so I'm pretty happy for where this story stands right now. I am  hoping to get this chapter out sometime soon.

Also, I really hate the computers at school. The key boards are way louder. It is really, really frustrating.

Anyway, now to get back to the story.... oh and guess what. I've decided to do an epilogue....

______________________________

It was cold and dark.

That was my first thought when I came back to my senses. Then, I remembered what had happened to get me to this cold, dark place.

I groaned and drowsily got up. The prison. My brother friggin' put me in the pack prison?! Ass.

I sniffed around and looked out the small window. It was early morning. Crap. Heather and the others would worry. Nick would-

Nick wouldn't worry because he wasn't there anymore. Because I sent him away. At least I sent him away after this happened. If I didn't, he'd probably be somewhere in this prison, too. At least he was safe.

I wanted to shift. That way I could see if the other girls were in their wolf form as well. If they were, I needed to tell them to leave. If they stayed here, my father and his wolves could find them. They needed to be a secret. If they could secretly start a resistance group, then maybe one day, Natalie could have a free life.

As far as I knew, they only knew about me. None of the other girls had killed anyone as far as I knew. So, that meant I would be the only one to die.

How I would die, I did not know. The fact that I would, I was completely sure of. I've been lucky so far. Four four years, I've escaped death. Four years, I've been lucky. Now, my luck has run out.

I would never see Nick again. I would never get to meet my baby sister. I would never get to live out my dreams and raise my own family. I would never get to see society change.

Just as I was about to shift and tell the girls to run, a heavy door banged open. I stiffened and turned. Heavy footsteps came nearer and nearer. I braced myself. The shadow of a man came into view outside of my cell. Then, the man came into view.

Alpha Ordain. My dad.

I growled as he glared at me. "I warned you, Clarity," he said.

"Well, you also told the world I was dead," I noted in an angry voice. "So why should I take your advice?"

"Because I'm your father," he snarled. "I always knew what was best for you. You were just too stubborn to listen!"

"You are not my father!" I yelled. "You never were. You never knew what was best for me. I did! I am the strongest werewolf in this world. I can beat anyone you put up against me. I've never lost a fight in my life. And I never will."

He chuckled. "Oh, but Clarity," he said. "You already have. You're the one in that cage, not me. You are in no position to be threatening me. An alpha of the highest order. Considering your death has been scheduled for tomorrow."

I narrowed my eyes at him. "As long as I'm still breathing, I haven't lost," I said holding my chin up high staring my dad down.

Then he made a fatal mistake. He adverted his eyes from me. A clear sign of submission. I smirked and when he noticed it, he snarled at me. "And you know it. You are going to kill me because you are afraid to fight. Afraid to lose to your daughter. To a female. Pathetic," I scoffed.
