Addison's P.O.V.

Drip...Drip...Drip...

The sound of dripping somewhere in the distance woke me up. Wincing from the pain throbbing on the back of my head, I slowly open my eyes to only to be greeted by darkness. Where was I? What happened? As if my mind was answering my questions, I snapped out of my dazed state of mind and all the memories came hurtling into my mind. My vision blurred, as my already shattered heart started to pain once more. She was gone... dead. Gran was dead.

I felt wet tears glide down landing on my knees, as I pulled my knees to my chest, curling up into a ball. I broke down, sobbing, my cries of pain echoing around me. My hand gripped the shirt over my heart and I thumped my chest trying to soothe the pain. What was I going to do now? I couldn't think as my mind blanked out and I just sat there the empty shell of who I was before. I slowly felt my eyes close, as I felt my strength leave me. I let my body lay down on what seemed like a cold concrete floor and I just laid there.

"Addy, are you okay?"

I didn't respond to Violets question.

"Addy..."

Again she was greeted by silence, not a single word came out of my mouth.

"ADDY! Get yourself together your grandmother didn't die protecting you just so you could lay here like some dead bitch!"

I snapped. 

"Can you just shut the fuck up. You don't understand. My gran just fucking died can't I have a freaking moment to get my shit together. YOU don't know what I'm going through right now, so why don't you leave me the fuck alone!"

"Ad-..."

"NO SHUT THE FUCK UP AND STOP!"

I closed off my mind and I brought my walls up closing Violet off, not wanting to listen to anymore of her bullshit. Another wave of tears started to pour out from my eyes and I sobbed. My hand reached up to grip onto my amulet and tightened my fist around it, feeling my knuckles go white. I curled myself into a ball, and I stayed like that, drowning in my own sea of tears. After what seemed like a hour of crying, I felt my wall's go down, not having enough energy to keep them up.

"Addy, I'm sorry. I didn't mean it to come out that way. I know how much your grandmother meant to you and how much you're hurting inside, but you need to be happy for her. You need to be twice as happy for your gran and yourself. I understand that you want to mourn and I'll respect that, but after that you need to get up, dust yourself off and be the Adeline, our gran loved. Just know I'll always be there for you, and your gran will always be with you, in your heart."

A smile slowly broke out on my face, still covered in tears. I hate to admit it, but she was right. My gran had told me to live for her and I knew that she would always be with me. One of the many reasons why I was happy having Violet as my wolf, she was more calm and she knew how to make me feel better, when I was down.

"Thanks, Violet. I don't know what I would have done without you. Sorry for lashing out, I'm just a little out of it... but you already know that so."

She chuckled inside my mind and I felt a little better hearing her laugh.

I started to calm down and I assessed the situation I was in. I looked around me, just now realizing that the situation I was in was oddly similar...

Oh biscuits. I abruptly got up and I unsealed my amulet. I felt the energy flow into me and I focused my energy on my palm, feeling the heat starting to grow stronger.  A flame formed in my hand, as I squinted my eyes from the light. A million questions started to flow into my mind.

Where was I? Did Kane lock me up in his dungeon again? Who was the blond wold that attacked me? Were they working for Kane? A spark of anger coursed through my mind at the thought of Kane. I swore that I was going to fucking hunt him down to hell if I had to, rip his spine from his back, and fucking feed him to dogs.

I held the fire in front of me to get a glimpse of my surroundings. Although, I was indeed locked in a cell I wasn't bound in silver chains like in my nightmare with Kane. I looked around me, but all I saw were rows and rows of prison cells that looked just like mine. Judging from how dark it was in the cell before I conjured my fire, I was underground somewhere. I remembered the blond wolf saying something before he knocked me out, something about a pack...

"Crescent pack."

"Wait, Violet how'd you remember, but not me?"

"Cause I'm obviously the smarter one, and you're the dumb one."

I rolled my eyes and I extinguished the fire from my palm. I walked over to the corner of the cell and I sat down. I sighed and ran my fingers through my tangled hair. My eyes burned and a fresh pair of tears threatened to come out. Even though, I knew that I needed to be happy, that didn't make the pain less painful. My gran had raised me ever since I was 3 months old. I had done everything with her and now that she wasn't here, I regretted all the moments I didn't spend time with her. For fucks sake, I wasn't even there by her side when she died. My vision blurred and the familiar feeling of tears slid down my cheeks. This time there was no sobbing, I just sat there silently letting the tears. I cried for the loss of my loved ones.

A bang came from the right side of the room and I whipped my head towards the room. Suddenly, the smell of Pine tree's and burnt cinnamon filled the room and I unconsciously took a deep breath. The smell was breathtaking, but what I saw next left me breathless...
