The Broken Queen

Chapter 35; Alliance; PART TWO:

Natasha's POV:

A tall guy, probably around my age and a short girl, standing maybe five foot, who I guess are young teens come into my cell, startling me.

I don't understand what is happening when they come closer. I naturally curl up and shy away from the two strangers, shielding my face with my shackled wrists and closing my eyes. They break my chains and pull me to my feet. My legs ache with the sudden movement and I almost fall forward. Thankfully before I do, the girl catches me by my tender arms, preventing me from toppling over. I am a very wobbly from being chained up in this cramped cell for so long. "We won't hurt you, come on, hold onto us, we got you" the guy whispers, as I hesitantly allow them to support me as we exit the cell, though feeling sceptical of them both, especially the guy.

I have been here so long now that I had forgotten what it looked like outside of my cell. The bright lights are on when we walk out into the space between the two rows of stone cells. I see the girl who had been kind and gentle towards me a few minutes ago when accompanied by two other female wolves. She is talking to six others that are in the room. "Right, everyone, change of plans-" she turns to guy and the girl who are gently sitting me down on the floor in front of her. She gives me what I believe is a genuine smile, calming my nerves, before continuing. "Hulu, Quinn, leave Natasha with me, this applies to the two of you too." They stand up and listen to her instructions. "Everyone stand in front of a cell" the six of them follow her orders.

"I want you to bring me out the files from each cell without a word, they are on the wall to your right when you walk through the first door. I will make a decision after looking over each file and will then give you further instructions." After a minute or so, these people handed the girl the charts from the next six cells. All the doors are open and I try to peak into cell 2 but I'm not close enough. I wonder who has been in these cells, because you never see any other prisoner in your time here, or at least I hadn't. I wonder how many people died here..

I listen as the girl in front of me gives the guy who had helped me who I think she had called Hulu, and another guy, Ethan I think, orders. She must be their leader, she's got to be, but I don't feel any power from her, which is very unusual, in fact it is totally unheard of without magic. Oh goddess, what if they are a rogue pack? Or she is a witch?! I try my best to calm my racing heart as the two guys disappear behind the door of cell three. My heart pounds painfully in my chest as the girl chooses another male wolf, who she calls Hunter, and sends two girls to take him out. I remember that name being screamed to a prison one night only last week, I had totally forgotten about that night, until now...

While the girls are doing their assigned job, the door of cell three flies open and two guys come out with a big bulky guy in chains.

He has light brown hair and hazel eyes, they are quite pretty, but I notice his facial expression says he has a lot of anger underneath the surface. I'm snapped out of my thoughts when the girl throws the three charts to the side and walks over to the boys and Mikey, I think was his name? He towers over her by a couple inches and has much more muscle than her, I don't understand how she isn't intimidated by a dude like him, I would be shaking in my boots! If I had boots...

"What did I tell you son? No trouble" Ethan says, making her eyes slide back to Mikey with anger. His face is barely hiding how enraged he is by the situation as she turns to Hulu and Ethan. "What did he do?" She asks them, struggling to remain calm. When Ethan says the guy had "taken a swing at Hulu" the girl instantly has this boy down on the ground by the neck and this sudden surge of power washes over the entire room, making everyone, including me, fall to their knees, the room trembling slightly under its power.

"If you ever try to lay a hand on one of my boys again, I will break your fucking neck, am I clear?!" She roars at Mikey. Yep that confirms it, she is definitely the leader of this group. "Yes!" He grunts reluctantly, clearly in pain. She releases him, looking satisfied with his change of mind and decision to cooperate. I tell ya I wouldn't be arguing with or fighting them.
