The Past

After breakfast, Jax and I went to the training area. We did our warm ups which consisted of 200 laps around the training area and then 100 sit-ups and 100 pull-ups. After that since it was an easy day we were able to use the weapons. My favorite weapon to use was a bow and arrow. While Jax liked the double swords. We practiced with the weapons and a little hand-to-hand combat after that the master came into the training area and said we were done for the day.

Jax and I went to our room to shower and change. Once we were done we sat in the room just thinking. We did this a lot because there was nothing else for us to do. That was all we really did, was fight and train that's it. While I was laying on my bed Jax said something that I wish he hadn't.

"I wonder what the beach is like." He asked out of no where. "Why would you say something like that!" I jumped up and started pacing.

"What, I am just wondering. I mean they can't keep us here forever." He thought for a minute, "Right?"

"I don't really know." I stopped pacing. "I mean we both have mates somewhere out, there, right?" He asked looking right into my eyes.

"I... I haven't told anyone this yet so I might as well tell you, but I don't have a mate." I said and looked away from him.

"What everyone has a mate. How could you not have a mate?" I walked over to him and took off my sock. "You see this mark." I pointed to a small black floral pattern on my ankle. "Yea what is it?" He asked.

"Well this mark is given to a person whose mate had died when they were very young. So, you see I don't have a mate." He looked at the mark and touched it. I felt a small shock so through my body and I jumped off the bed. "What did you do?" "I didn't do anything. I just touched it that's all." I looked at him, he had dirty blond hair and electric blue eyes, he was also built from fighting and training but not to built, and he also had scars like me.

He knows how I feels, everyday trapped here and forced to fight for me life. He would be the only person that know what it felt to kill someone just because you wanted to live because you have that hope that maybe one day you would see your family again.

"What about your mate?" I asked trying to draw the conversation away from what just happened.

"Umm well the reason why I get captured was because of her. I tried to save her but they killed her when I was distracted they took me. I was only ten at the time." Even though most werewolves meet their mates at the age of 18, some lucky wolves meet them earlier. "Wow they must have been trouble."

"Yea it was, she was amazing but still I wasn't a good mate, I wasn't able to keep her safe, keep her alive." He said with a broken voice. He looked down as if he was going to break any second. However right when he was about to break, his emotions harden and he was back to his normal self however you could see he was sadder then usually.

"Anyway, what was your life before here." He looked away, "I mean you never talked about your life before this place I was just wondering, yea know." I looked away and thought of my life before this place but I couldn't remember much.

All I remembered was that I was important to my pack that's it. "I don't really remember much about my life before I came here I was too young to remember my life." I looked away.

I got up and went to the bathroom. I closed the door and looked in the mirror. "What was I?"I asked myself.

"You were someone of much importance to the pack." Ember my wolf said. "Hey Ember, I haven't heard from you in a while."

"I know, I know but I have come up with a plan to get out of here!" "WHAT?! How?!" "I'll tell you later tonight." "Wait it's the new moon?" "Yes, it is god do you even look out the window." "I would look out a window if I had a window to look out of!"

I shut her out of my mind. I'll get an ear full about that later. You see on New moons for some reason I am able to talk to my wolf without her being inside my mind. I don't have any clue why I am able to but I just can. I have asked Jax about it once and he just got a really confused look and didn't know anything about it. So, I have just kept it a secret all these years. Who knows what that could mean.

***This means Ember, Alex's wolf is talking to her in her mind.
