More than an Alphas Mate

We wait...

SEVENTEEN

- Zaira's P.O.V. - - - - - - - - - - -

Their not coming for us.

They should have found us by now. Being in this cell is freaking pissing me off. I've never stayed in one place for so long! Especially in this position, my hands restrained. I swear, I might even be stuck like this for the rest of my life. Who knows? 

"Zai, please eat, " My sister pleaded, with a tired and worried look. "Your starving yourself. "

"These idiots should know I need my hands to eat. We may turn into gigantic dogs, but I will not eat like one!, " I scoffed. What? I dont think anyone would like to eat like that and heck if I was going to. All them bastards could stuff it.

She frowned at me and sighed, " Baby sis, you gotta eat something. Your scaring me with how pale you are. " I rolled my eyes, but smiled, " Im fine. "

"Shes right, Zai. You should eat, " Jamie urged from across the cell. "Yeah, you dont look as good as you say, " Jake added, both examining me with the same worried looks.

I smiled in assurance, ignoring the numbing in my cheeks, " Seriously, guys. Im. Fine. "

Their worried expressions didn't change, but they remained silent. Things have been pretty hectic for me and this starvation thing, is nothing.

Having new information on a sister I never knew I had, having to deal with Jerrick, having to worry about our rescue, and worrying about Jace is pretty forced. Too much for me to handle. But I cant let it out. Its just all stuffed and crammed into my head. Just like the day of our birthday. Now this? Cant a girl have a break?

I tried to push my wolf out, but I couldnt. They havent injected us with wolfsbane anymore, thank god. So, I can finally feel my wolf. Thing was, this stupid silver cuffs made her weak. She wont even make a sound.

I miss my wolf. We may bicker a lot, but I love my wolf. I just need to find a way out of this place and get the others back to the safety of our pack.

That's the thing though. Their isn't a way out. These chains are silver, making my wolf silence. If I did find a way out of the chains, I still have to get past who knows how many wolves outside. And if I happened to survive that, I still dont know  

where we are.

I've never felt so defeated in my life. I couldnt even do anything to save my sister. To save Jamie and Jake. Im useless.

What if help was to never come? What if we were stuck here, and it was all my fault that I couldnt get them back to our pack. Back to our mates. Back to our home.

This is all Jerrick's fault. Him and his ridiculous reasons. Oh, how I want to strangle him. He caused all of this. He was the mastermind behind the kidnapping. He did it all because of some story he heard as a child growing up.

I mean, how idiotic is that?! Hes a grown man! Bejesus, he must have been dropped on the head many times to be this childish. Like seriously, who does that?

We have our lives to live. Lives he stole right out of our hands for his so called beliefs. The power part may be true, for all I know, I do have a sister. But what the hell is all this about being the weapon to controlling 'ALL' packs? For one, that is too much people to take care of. And two, everyone knows you cant control all. That's the impossible. All the Alphas, Betas, Enforcers you'd have to face. Not to mention, the council. It will never happen.

I know what your thinking. I've tried! I've tried to explain him more than a thousand times how stupid his plans are. Gah, you'd think me and my wolf fight a lot? You should hear Jerrick! Hes like a freaking five year old on a tantrum with no discipline!

Towards us anyway. Im pretty sure if I was any other wolf he'd rip me to shreds. Hes done it I think a few hours ago. I pissed him off, and he took it out on one of his pack members. Some reason, he doesnt hit us anymore. Why? I honestly dont know or care.

I looked around the cell, literally tired of seeing it. I tried my best to get comfortable and layed back, ignoring my restrained arms, but who can get comfortable like this? I sighed softly and closed my heavy lids, ignoring the coldness and dirt of the cell floor.

"Zai, someones coming, " My sister nudged me with her foot. I forced my eyes to open and looked in the direction of the door.

If it was Jerrick and I was free, ill karate chop his ass. Maybe even throw him in a shark pit, just to watch him drown in his own blood. Stupid bastard.

All I saw was a dark figure, but it was enough to make a weak growl erupt from my chest. The person stepped into the light, revealing the guy who kidnapped us. Well, one of them.

"I mean no harm, " he whispered, raising his hands in surrender. Idiot, im chained. I cant kill you.

I noticed the five finger handprint on his right cheek and cocked my head at it. I dont know why, but it brought a silent chuckle from my lips.

"Why Beta. I would say its a pleasure to see you, but id be lying. But if .. your here to release us? Ill reconsider, " I snapped. He flinched at my tone and turned to check his cover.

"Rescue will be tomorrow morning. You need to keep quiet and dont tell anyone I was here. Heres the key. When you hear the howls of your mate, get the others and go. Run out of the pack house, many will be busy with their own battles, but try your best to avoid any. You must leave. As quickly and safely as possible. Your sister will meet you, " he whispered lowly, but very clearly . He slipped inside our cell and placed the keys in the palm of my hands.

"Why are you doing this?, " Jamie asked. He looked at all of us and frowned deeply, " Im sorry. " Was all he said, before retreating and leaving us.

I looked over and met Rai's unsure gaze ," Do we believe him ?" I glanced over to where he disappeared and clasped onto the three keys I felt in the palm of my hands ," Im not sure , but its the only option ."

I looked over at Jamie and Jake , and the first in a while , I finally saw Jamie crack a smile . "Their coming for us ," she breathed , her eyes forming tears of joy . Jake stared lovingly at her , and I knew if they werent chained up , he'd have her in his arms .

I met my sisters eyes and noticed the life and hint of hope in them . I knew who she was thinkng about in that moment , because I was thinking the same thing . My mate .

"What do we do now ? ," Zarai asked me . I gripped onto the keys as if it were my life and looked back to where the Beta had left .

"We wait"
