The Alpha's Chase

Chapter 31. Fear and surprises go hand in hand

~Kate~

‘Casey.’ I heard my name being whispered and looked up. Ava stood in her cell. ‘Are you awake?’

‘Barely and Ava, please call me Kate.’ I whispered back. It had been several days since I saw my half brother die and by now my body has healed from the terrible torture it had undergone. But still something didn’t feel right, like there was something inside of me being blocked, apparently Grace felt it too but she wasn’t as curious about what it might be as me.  

My wolf has been a source of peace and comfort to me while I healed. Ava and the other women in the cellblock continued to whisper encouragements to make sure I would be able to cope. When something happened to one of the other girls we did the same for her. Ava especially has turned out to be a friend to me and all the others, she told us all kinds of stories about the werewolf community and entertaining us with these stories and many other werewolf myths really helped me understand the werewolf society and I learned fun facts. Hopefully I would be able to experience them as well.

As a luna she continued to do her duty and comfort those around her. She has been a strong rock to all of us these last few days and I couldn’t be more thankful.

‘Sorry, I keep forgetting.’ She smiled at me. ‘You were asleep before but I want you to know that the leader of these vile creatures just came around and asked to be informed when you woke and the guards are instructed to keep you under observation. The guards will check on you from now on. I just thought you should know.’

‘Thanks.’ I sat up and shook my head a bit and looked at Ava. ‘I just don’t get it, what does he want with me?’ 

‘He seems to have taken a shine to you.’ Ava whispered concerned and she had every right to be.

I was worried that this interest in me might take a turn for the worst because whatever that loathsome man was, he was in no way a gentle soul.

The door opened and in walked four guards. The girls all scooted back in their cells but they were here with another purpose. Me.

‘You, come with us.’ The guards opened the door and one grabbed my elbow to yank me with them. I shook him off.

‘I can walk myself.’ I snapped and gave them the evil eye, they were not intimidated one bit.

With two in front of me and two behind me they walked me to the same room I had been in before.

Banes was in the room as well, his torturetable and devices however were not so I tried to relax a bit.

‘Sit.’ He ordered when the men had vacated the room and closed the door behind them.

‘No thank you, I’ve sat long enough today.’ I said, he had already tortured me to the point of possible death, what more could he do to me? After saying that I started walking back and forth, the small cell didn’t leave any room to stretch my muscles.

To my surprise he started laughing. ‘You have no idea who you are dealing with, do you?’

‘Yes I do.’ I answered and he tilted his brow up. ‘Well, do tell.’

‘Powerhungry wolves who prey on innocent she wolves in secrecy and shadows. Sorry excuses for wolves who actually torment these women in all possible ways because they are to afraid to actually stand in the light and confront the people they really wish to destroy. Cowards, perverts and crazy wolves to sum it up. Wolves that actually needed to be put down at birth because they are a shame and failure to the werewolf race.’ I was slightly surprised to hear those words leave my mouth and couldn’t really comprehend how I could say that to this man, but I did anyway.
