Two days after my arrest, I walked into the private courtroom hearing in chains. Two guards standing on both side of me and one behind me with a stun gun in case I make a break for it. Carter follows closely behind making sure that I don't make any sudden movement.

I nearly got what I wanted, control over the pack and everything that comes with it. I had it all planned out but I neglected to see Emelia Hudson as a potential threat. I'd manage to capture her after following Drake and her to a closed building as I waited. I could hear both Drake and Emelia talking in the building and I could tell that Emelia wasn't all too happy about something that Drake has offer her, I figure that she would be the one to walk out alone hopefully.

"You know what Drake maybe we shouldn't be together, not if you can't see why I work so hard for my business." I hear Emelia said then she suddenly had stepped out of the building and starting walking toward me. YES.

Drake didn't follow out so this was my chance, lurking in the darkness she doesn't detect me yet as I quickly grabbed her with her mouth covered and dragged her into the dark alley.

"You're going to be silent, or you're going to be dead, got me?" I whispered in her ear but she still fought as I pulled out the stun gun and placed it against her neck. She convulsed and grew limp to the ground as I threw her over my shoulders and walked to my car that was parked in the alley. I didn't sense Drake at all so he clearly wasn't following after Emelia; I tossed Emelia in the trunk. Grabbing the zip ties and duct tape, bounding her wrists and ankles together and taping her mouth.

I knew where exactly I was going to end Drake once and for all, the Knight Owl. My engine roar quietly as I backed out of the alley and heading to her bar. All my pack members were standing by waiting for me when I arrive as I order one of them to grab her out of the trunk and bring her inside.

The one that brought her in clearly was struggling as Emelia woke from her stun state, I gestured to where to place her as she screamed as the wolf place her down on the chair. Two other proceeded to tie her down to the chair with both wrists and ankles to the arms and legs of the chair. She was starting to hyperventilate as I peel away the tape off her mouth, mouth parting wide open

"Ah before you begin screaming for help, let me tell you how it's going to be. Either you can be quiet and I won't tape your mouth again or I will kill you before Drake even realizes that I have you." I stare her down, Emelia sighs and closed her mouth. Smart girl.

"What do you want from me Silas?" she asked

"What do I want? I want what is RIGHTFULLY MINE!" I roared as all the other wolf members got spine chilled from my voice.

"Rightfully yours? What is rightfully yours Silas, what do you think is yours?" she said as I glared at her, I explained to her that I was the first born so I should be rightfully Alpha of the Seattle pack. Not Drake. Despite what my father had said, to who find their luminary first will become Alpha and the other would get the estates.

"I want it all, I deserve them all not by some silly rule that my father set aside. Rules don't mean a thing to me."

Emelia tried to wiggle out of the chair but it was hopeless since I had her bounds,

"It sounds like you have a problem with Greed; those things that you list are a form of privilege. They can't be handed to you, it must be earned." Her blue eyes glares at me, I stood to her grasping her chin in my hand making close contact with her

"I don't give a fuck about earnest; I am the first-born so I am the rightful heir to the Seattle pack. And you would never be able to carry an alpha's offspring so you would have no benefits to an alpha. Hell I can't stand the sight of a turned wolf; if I was alpha . . . I would kill you on the spot." I let go of her chin and turned away from her.

"Drake will find me! I can guarantee you that he will. He'll bring you down Silas." She shouts as I turn my head looking over my shoulder

"Not if I bring him down first." I snapped my fingers as one of the wolf quickly taped Emelia's mouth as she screamed in protest.

The door to the courtroom was in front of me, as I stop in my footsteps.

"Keep moving Silas, that's an order." Carter said from behind me as the two guards standing beside me grab my arms and pulled me with force. I'm not surprise by how empty the courtroom was, I saw Raul Bloomfield and a few other wolf pack members and then I saw Drake sitting on the far side of the courtroom.

The judge was a member of the Seattle pack, he was already knew what my crimes were and my defense attorney? Well needless to say I didn't have one defending me, but I was provided a lawyer named Claire Holtz.

"Let not waste time with modesty, Ms. Holtz. We know your client is guilty of the charges so let's skip the formalities since this is a closed hearing." The judge said as we all took our seat.

"Mr. Wilder you are charged with attempted murder of the Seattle pack alpha Russell Wilder and his mate Emelia Hudson. Now while a sentence like this should warrant death, your alpha discussed with your lawyer about giving you a lesser punishment. Mr. Wilder, if you would like to speak to Silas Wilder about the lesser punishment please stand."

Drake stood up pressing down on his tie,

"Our father wouldn't have wanted this to happen Silas, so I decided that rather than giving you the death sentence I thought maybe confinement would be more appropriate. You are my brother and I loved you Silas but what you did I don't know if I could ever forgive you for that but maybe with time I could." He paused before continuing one,

"I hereby sentence you to solitary confinement until further notice, I hope you realize how much of a lesser sentence this is and I hope that you will learn and understand your mistakes." He finished as the judge slams the gravel sealing my sentence, I turn to face Drake

"Do you really think this change anything?!" I shouted as Ms. Holtz stepped away and two guards were right on my shoulders as Drake begins to walk,

"I'm the rightful Alpha and you know it! You can't expect your turned mate to give you what you need! Face it Drake she's weak and that means you're weak as well." I yelled as Drake stood still,

"The way I see it Silas, you're the weak one. You have nothing anymore Silas, you are basically nothing to anyone. No one will be allowed to visit you other than myself or your lawyer but no one else. You will be alone and you're probably live a short life. So you tell me Silas whose the weak one?" he said and turned away from me as I quickly went to fought but the one guard stuns me and I hit the ground hard with two guards ready to tackle me.

When I woke up from my stunned state, I was place back in the jail cell. I quickly went to the bars grasping them and looking down at either hallway. I sense no one around as I shouted. My voice echoes the halls but no response came back.

I grunted in frustration and saw no windows; there was only a calendar on my wall. What a way to keep track of how long I'll be here. My wolf was itching to get out and I figure why not try it, I stripped off all my clothes and quickly shifted.

The alarms starting going off as guards began running down my hall and arrives at my cell, I was snapping and snarling as Carter came rushing down. He seems unfazed as I shoved my snout through the bars snapping but he pulled something out that I couldn't see as I felt a prick against my skin. What that supposed to hurt? I laughed to myself but suddenly I was losing control of my shift,

My body hit the ground hard and the cold floor quickly chilled me,

"Nice try Silas, just because you shifted doesn't mean we would open your cell. Now you won't be able to shift for a few hours and for future reference you aren't getting out at any time. Consider this your indoors and outdoors Silas, may you rot in hell." Carter motion all the guards back to their post as one shoved a tray of food through the opening.

The halls went silent in a matter of minutes as I munch down the food, I gazed at the calendar and thought about what Drake has said about being in solitary confinement until further notice.

How long does he plans on keeping me in here?

Well DAY ONE has arrived.
