The smell of my blood was thick in the air, another blow landed on to my back. My body swaying forward, the chain held to the rafter pulling my bound wrists. I no longer could feel my hands, they had gone numb some time ago. The pain in my shoulders did not compare to the stinging pain the whip left with every strike. I no longer had a voice to scream, that had gone after the second whipping.
When I hadn't answered Hayden's questions to his liking it earned me a lash. He wanted information on my old pack, the in and outs. I kept refusing to give him any information, which infuriated him. I also refused to give him the title Hunter, which seem to infuriate him even more. No real Hunter would do the things he has done to me without the Alpha's orders. Which was something I kept in the back of my mind. Maybe it was the only reason he had agreed to let me come here, get information, and take over a pack they see as weaker.
Astra had somehow come out trying to take some of the pain on. I thought I had seen his body try to submit to me, which shocked and confused me. That in turn angered him more than he had been, and he let that anger out on me. It was a very rare thing for a wolf to be able to partially shift. It took very old powerful wolves, and mostly elders to do so. After that is when he bound my wrists with silver chains, and hung it me from the rafters during the whipping.
It wasn't like in the movies, yes silver weakend us the longer we were exposed. It burned our skin the longer it had contact, but it did not kill us. Astra tried her best to distract me from the torture, but it only seemed to weaken her. I had told her nothing she did was working the pain was just to much. She was now silent once again. I assume trying to get strength back after half way shifting. I never thought I'd want to die as much as the day I lost my Cas, but every time the whip made contact with my back, it made me wish I was. I don't know what came over me, but I spoke.
"What did I do so wrong to deserve this?" I was surprised he could heard me, I almost couldn't hear myself. I know he heard me because he chuckled.
"You were born." Was all he replied before I felt another strike to my back, a pained whimper escaping my lips. My vision started to become blurry around the edges. I could feel myself slowly begin to lose consciousness once again.

Finian POV
"Sir, there is a man here to see you. I told him you were not to be disturbed, but he said he wouldn't leave until he spoke with you." I slammed my fist down on my desk, harder then really necessary. My anger was becoming harder to control with Conri pushing to be let out.
"When I said do not disturb it meant you to Sienna!" I yelled louder than I had meant. I saw Sienna jump, and her eyes go wide in shock.
"I don't give a rats ass if you don't want to be bothered." A man roared storming into my office, anger written all over his face. I could feel it coming off of him in waves. "You have now had my sister for over a month. I've not gotten any word from her since your men took her. I want to be taken to her right away." My anger finally exploded in me. I stood up rounding my desk and with in seconds I was standing toe to toe with the intruder.
"Who are you to come into my pack demanding anything. I could kill you right here and now, and I would have every right to." The man stood squaring his shoulders not backing down. He brought his face forward our noses almost touching. I could see the anger in his eyes barely being held at bay, just as mine.
"Because I have every right to be here, and you damn well know it. By every pack law, pack members who were willing or forced to change packs are still allowed visitation from..."I cut him off, my arm pressed on his chest, and my hand around his throat. A snarl ripped from him, with my own in reply.
