Shout out to my home girl, and best friend and sister from another mister Kira. Baby girl, I love you very much and you don't need no love from a boy who obviously doesn't deserve a gorgeous princess like you. Trust me, one day a prince charming will come around and he WILL sweep you off your feet and he WILL treat like exactly like you deserve. I hate seeing you so down in the dumps, but just don't give up. I think you're absolutely wonderful.  I love you with everything I got, and am here when you need me. This chapter ma cherie, is for you. 

Chapter Twenty-Two: Raphael - unedited :D

I was to my breaking point. That tip of the iceburg that led the Titanic to sink down into the black depths of the ocean. I couldn't even keep a passage of time anymore. It was at the point where every passing moment blurred into an oblivion of nothingness. The only thing I could keep track of was the constant pain searng through my skin. 

Though by now I had endured the anguish of silver for so long that it was nothing more than a dull ache against my skin, unless of course I tried to fight it. The harder I fought and struggled against the clacking shackles the more I was subdued. 

I haven't seen any sign of the Hunters in days; they haven't been around lately and I heard it was all because they were searching for a vampire with some loose bolts by the name of Natalia. Her name should have caused me to quiver in fear because I knew why they wanted her, yet the only response I could give was laughter. If you had two hybrids that would only allow for chaos and pandemonium to break loose; hell would open up and up would come Lucifer and his demon spawn. 

Lucifer wasn't real though - he was just a made up figment of some crazy human's imagination. There wasn't a such thing as hell although I bet Jimmy would debate otherwise. He did after all threaten to send anyone who dared harm Cora to hell. It was impossible for there to be a whole other dimension beneath the ground, wasn't it? 

The idea was completely absurd. 

My inner beast was quiet and had been for quite some time now. The hunger gnawing in the pit of our stomach was waning his patience, and causing me to become delusional. Sometimes I would imagine Cora busting in through the rickety wooden door and falling short of stepping off of the platform and into the silver floor. 

The Hunters were testing me. I haven't been fed in days it semed like. The last time I saw the blonde bimbo, she tossed a limp body of another weakened wolf in here with me to suffer along. His golden hair reminded me of that bastard Loren's fur color. My wolf was tempting me to take a snacking bite. 

I wasn't going to let petty hunger pains get the best of me. 

This wolf's name was Jude and he was about sixteen. He didn't dare look me in the eyes or speak to me; my alpha power was surprisingly still radiating off of me. I was half expecting it to be drained just as my fatigued body was. I started our conversation at barely even a whisper. 

He only complied by responding. 

Jude was a young wolf who had gotten caught attempting to save his sister, Molly from a rogue attack. They were already newly orphaned, and the rogues just beat them down even more. Molly was found dead, and he was recovered by Hunters only to be ruthlessly tossed into this hell hole and to get beaten down and tortured all over again. 

I almost felt bad for the boy but living with Algernon was a constant struggle, and nothing, not even a sap story of being orphaned and attacked by rogues could make me give enough sympathy and compassion. Algernon ensured my life was a living hell, and he tried to make it break me so he would never have to give up his title. Instead of breaking me, I was melded into steel.
