Stronger As One

Cell Mates

The sound of yelling stirred me from my sleep, I kept my eyes shut and listened in to the loud conversation.

"I can't believe you actually listened to your old Alpha and came back dog." A voice said, it was followed by laughter.

"I know! You must really like that mate of yours. But what I'm really shocked about is how you didn't die as a rouge! A sub like you shouldn't have survived all alone like that.. you're lucky we didn't find you and kill you ourselves!" Another voice snarled.

Their was a soft whimpering, "Can you just take me where I need to be and leave me alone?" The voice was shaking heavily.

"Don't tell us what to do mutt!" The first voice yelled, it was followed by a slap and a yelp.

"Dude, he's already cut up enough if the Alpha sees him like this he will kill us! He wanted him in good shape to please the clients."

The first guy growled before I heard something land on the ground, they whimpered again and the first guy spoke. "Stop whining. It's so annoying!" There was a loud bang that rattled against the walls when he slammed the door shut. As soon as I heard the footsteps fade away I sat up to see who was with me. There was a small boy on the ground, I couldn't see much of him due to the darkness of the space, even my wolves sight wasn't enough. His body appeared to be shaking and soft sobs were emitting from him.

"Hey, are you okay?" I asked as I slid off the bed and went to kneel by him.

He lifted his head up, a gasp escaped my lips from the sight. A large gash was dripping blood from his forehead. Small cuts and bruises were prominent on his pale skin.

"I'm fine.." he whispered.

Clearly not fine.

"What's your name?" I tried to take his mind off what had occurred.

"I'm Ash, what's yours?"

"My names Dustin, you know why we're here right?" I asked him.

He nodded slightly, " I'm sorry you got dragged into this.."

"Huh?" I cocked my head to the side. Not his fault I'm here.

"This is my old pack. They hate me, but I don't know why they brought you here too. I'm really sorry.. It's my fault.." He pulled his knees up and wrapped his arms around them. A long silver scar caught my eye, it ran along his right forearm.

"That's not your fault. You weren't personally there shooting me with a dart and we haven't met each other before. We will get out together.." I sat down and leaned back next to him, "I bet our mates are looking for us right now.."

"You have one?" He asked.

"Yeah."

"Can you tell me about him?"

"You wanna know about my mate?" I asked.

Ash nodded his head before looking at me intently, like a child waiting for a bedtime story.

"Well.. He's the soon to be Alpha of our pack. He has a black wolf and deep brown eyes along with soft brown hair.." I paused, is it right to tell more? Maybe I need to just talk about it..I took in a deep breath before continuing," But he did something a bit ago that I still haven't gotten over.. when I first met him, I did something he didn't like and he.." I paused for a moment, tears filled my eyes as the dreaded images and phantom touches came back, "He raped me and marked me.. I told him I forgave him, but really.. I didn't.. I act fine around him just so he doesn't see that I'm still scared of him. I just buried the feelings and never spoke about them or told him.. I'm trying to protect myself from making him angry or doing something wrong again.." Tears were cascading down my cheeks in a steady stream. Ash turned toward me and wrapped his arms around me. I willingly did the same and held on to the small wolf.
