His Savior

Prisoner

~Nona~

               My head is killing me. What the hell happened? One minute I'm in the garden, at least I think I was in the garden. Wait, what just happened?

Zora? Silence. Where the hell is Zora? Why can't I feel her? I can feel my heartbeat quickening, and my palms start to sweat. I'm starting to freak out a bit because I have no idea what the hell is going on right now. I need to figure things out, and freaking out isn't going to help me.

               I stop and take deep breaths. I can feel softness underneath me. I must be on top of a bed or something, but it is a lot softer than my own, so there is a chance that I'm not at home. I continue to breathe regularly and try to go back in my head. I remember eating lunch with my sister. We usually eat together, and after we eat, I like to walk in the garden. I'm hoping to study botany in school, but my dad still hasn't agreed to let me leave the pack and attend college. It has been a battle with him for years. He is afraid to allow me to be surrounded by humans. My father does not have any respect for humans and doesn't think it is appropriate for the two species to mingle together. I've never agreed with that view because, to a degree, we have some humanity in us. We have an entire human side, even though we are more than that.

               I can see myself walking into the garden and checking on my favorite paths. What happened next? Come on, brain, work with me. After a few moments, it hits me. I came across a scent that spoke to myself and Zora. Our mate.......we came across our mate. That's it, we met our mate. Maybe we are in our mate's bed though I still have no idea why Zora is gone or how I blacked out.

               I finally crack open my eyes and see that I'm in a room, just not my own room. I start to look around, but the room is like a blank canvas. There is no color on the walls and no decorations. Just bare, white walls are all I see. I sit up a bit and look around the room. There is a dark wood dresser that matches the wood of the bed frame. There are two doors opposite each other. I assume one is the closet, and the other is the door that leads out of the room. I really need a bathroom. All of a sudden, I feel like I'm going to explode. I pull the blankets back and swing my legs over the bedside when I hear a clatter. I look around the room, but I don't see anything. I move my legs again, this time feeling a weight on my left ankle. I look down and see a cuff around my ankle. The further my eyes travel, the more I can see that the cuff is attached to a thick chain. What the hell is this?

               I reach down and grab the chain. I pull it gently just to realize that it goes a long way, and I don't really want to work to get to the end of it just yet. I move my hand up to test the strength of the cuff. The minute my hand touches it, I feel a burning sensation and hear a sizzle. I quickly pull my hand back, realizing that the cuff is silver. How is it that I feel no burning on my ankle at all? I look down at my ankle and see that the inside of the cuff is covered in pillowy material. The silver is not touching my leg at all.

               I stand up and walk to the closest door. I open it and see a bunch of woman clothes inside. A closet like I thought. I move towards the other door and drag my left leg behind me. The chain is so heavy. I open the door and see a small hallway in front of me. There is a door on the right that is standing open. I peep in and see that it's the bathroom that I wanted earlier. That sensation seems to have disappeared for the moment. When I get to the end of the hallway, I stop. Towards the left is a living room with a couch, chair, and a bookshelf. I look to the right, and I see a small table for four and a kitchen beyond that. I make my way to the kitchen slowly, expecting the chain to grow taut, but so far, that hasn't happened. I make it to the kitchen and all around. I see the front door at a distance and decide to go for it. Maybe I can step outside and figure out where I am exactly. On the way to the front door, I notice a set of stairs to the left and an open room to the right. I guess it was easier for me to be in the room downstairs. A few feet from the front door, I'm stopped in my tracks. I look down at my ankle and pull the chain, meeting resistance. I turn to my side, placing my right foot in front of me, and I lean over and stretch toward the door. I can feel pain in my left ankle and hip, but I try to push through it as much as possible. The tip of my finger gets closer and closer, but I'm stopped inches from the doorknob. I can't get any closer. I drop to the floor in defeat, and I feel the tears start to slide down my face. 

               I'm stuck here, a prisoner in this house. I have no idea where I am or who has taken me. What happened to my mate? He is the last person I remember seeing. My mate.....the Alpha! I remember the Alpha is my mate! He will definitely come for me. He is a strong Alpha and will not rest until he finds me and brings me home. I just need to be strong for him.

               I get up and head back to the bedroom I came from. I collapse in bed and am overwhelmed by my emotions. I can't stay strong for my Alpha. I'm all alone and scared. I don't even have Zora here to help me right now. The sobs take over, and my body shakes under the weight of my sadness. I want to go home. I want my family, and I want my mate.
