85

"This must be what Hell is like."

Amelia's POV

I tugged at the chained cuffs on my wrists and snarled. I wanted Kaden.

My stomach growled; I hadn't eaten since I was last at the pack house. That was what? a week ago. Apparently, my mother doesn't believe in feeding her daughter.

I trudged around the cell before passing out again.

"Wakey wakey." I blinked my eyes open at a deep voice. My vision slowly focused to see a rogue leaned against the cell bars staring at me an intrigued look on his face.

"There you are." He said as I sat up and I bared my fangs at him.

"No need to be so rude darlin', we're all friends here." He said smiling and I frowned and turned my head away.

"Here." He said and after a but I glanced back to him.

I looked at the man suspiciously, but my mouth watered at the sandwich he held out to me. Turkey with cheese.

He watched me for a moment before saying, "If you don't want it I could just eat it myself." My stomach erupted in rumbles and I shook my head my hunger getting the better of me.

"No; I'll take it." I gasped and the man nodded curtly and handed it to me through the bars. I didn't hesitate in scarfing it down and in moments it was gone. I licked the crumbs from my fingers and sighed.

Suddenly everything went dark.

I shook my head and blinked my eyes rapidly until my vision returned. What?

My body felt woozy and I growled at the male wondering what he'd just gave to me.

He was older seemingly in his thirties and had a wicked vibe that reminded me of my childhood years. I blinked and everything went dark again.

When I opened my eyes he was in the cell with me. It wasn't long before he had his hands on my waist.

"Let go." I said, but it sounded weird because my tongue felt heavy. Everything felt heavy.

"It'll be over in a bit." The guy said and pulled me closer. I frowned and managed to scratch him in the face. The rouge growled and pulled me along. Turns out he was smart, he pulled me to the point the chains made my arms go behind my back.

He pushed me to the ground and my arms were then pinned above my head by the chains. I tried to move as he climbed on top of me, but whatever he'd drugged me with was taking its hold.

"Get off." I spat and he clamped a hand over my mouth before gripping my pants and tugging them down. Tears welled up in my eyes as he undid his jeans and pulled them down enough to get himself in position. I squeezed my legs together, but he grabbed them and pinned them with his own.

He groaned as he forced himself inside me and my scream was masked by his hand. Tears escaped from my eyes as he plunged inside me harder and harder. My body felt like it was being torn apart and I cried into his hand. Abruptly he pulled out with a growl.

"Good thing I brought this along." He said waving a little bottle in my face. It was lubricant. I shut my eyes as he lubed the both of us up before sliding himself in and going even harder than before.

He finally let my mouth go and I gave a bloodcurdling scream.

"Kaden! Stop! Kaden!" I yelled and the man growled and wrapped a hand around my throat.

"You're mate's not gonna save you this time." He chuckled and I wheezed as he choked me.

"What the hell are you doing?!" A voice yelled and the man paused and looked over his shoulder. I peeked as well and saw Brenton standing in front of the cell looking shocked.

"It's not your business kid. Go on." The man huffed and went back to assaulting me like Brent wasn't standing right there.

"The hell if it isn't, that's my sister." Brenton growled.

"Get outta here boy." The rogue huffed.

The boy met my eyes and frowned. He sucked in a breath and growled, "Get off of her." The man scoffed and waved him off.

"Get off and get out of the fucking cell!" Brenton yelled and wrenched the door open. With a growl the man stood and pulled up his pants. I scrambled to the corner and hugged myself as sobs escaped me. Everything still felt heavy and out of focus.

"What the-" the man began, but Brent lunged himself at him and pulled him out of the cell.

"Out." The boy snarled at the man who at least had twenty years on him.

The guy scoffed, "I don't see what all the fuss is about. I was just having some fun." He said and Brenton's eye twitched a bit.

"Fun?" The boy said quietly and the man nodded before starting to turn away. Brent snarled and changed into his wolf before leaping onto the man.

I watched through blurry eyes as the white wolf gripped the man's throat in his jaws before ripping it away with a furious tug.

My brother held the bloody chunk of flesh in his jaws, his tail slashing side to side in an angered wag and finally he dropped the chunk of meat and it landed at his paws with a squishy thud. His golden eyes glinted at the man and he licked his chops and gave a soft growl.

The man fell to the ground, choking on his own blood. The crimson liquid began to pool on the ground and I watched through watery eyes as the guy fumbled vainly at his torn throat. Brent turned back into his human form and stood over the man. With a push from my half-brother the man slumped over. He grabbed some clothes from a box and slipped them on.

"Cold yet?" My half-brother growled and the man convulsed before going limp. His body then morphed into a dead brown wolf.

Brenton's eyes landed on me and after a moment he blinked and gave a soft shake of his head, "I'm sorry that this happened to you... I promise it will not happen again. I--I'll get this cleaned up. You need water? A bath? Food?" Brenton asked and I just hugged myself and cried.

"I want my mate. I want Kaden." I sobbed and my brother gulped and a sad look came to his eyes before he blinked it away.

"I'm sorry Sis, but I can't give you that. You are here for a reason-" Brent started and I snarled in pain and anger.

"What reason?! Give me an actual answer dammit! What did I do to deserve this?!" I howled and tugged at my chains.

Brenton's lips went in a thin line and he glanced to the floor.

"It's a tactic of Mother's, she wants to see if the talk is true." Brenton whispered. I leaned closer.

"What talk?" I hissed.

"That your mate took after both his father and mother. That he is a murderous super wolf and possesses the power of the Pure White." Brent said and I frowned. All this because of my mate?

"Yes, I know, this is pretty much what happened with his mother in a way... She thought it may... release the beast. Stirring up childhood trauma; shit like that." Brenton sighed.

"But Kaden isn't a Pure White." I whimpered.

"Exactly." Brenton said and with another sigh he left, taking the body with him.

I woke to banging on the cell bars and I jolted up to where I was sitting.

My eyes slowly focused on my mother and I bared my fangs.

"Calm down Amelia." My mother said and I snarled, but felt a wave a nausea hit me before I vomited. I groaned and wiped my mouth. What the...?

"Here ya go." She said tossing me a chicken breast and I gripped it cautiously.

"I didn't do anything to it." She huffed, "Brent told me about your little incident earlier."

I took a small bite of the chicken and growled as my mother made a move closer to the bars. My growl quickly turned into a snarl.

"Calm down, you don't want to hurt the pup." My mother said and I frowned.

"What are you talking about?" I asked and glared at her. She walked towards me with a smirk and pointed to my belly.

"Don't you feel it? It's growing inside you; your Alpha's child." My mother said and I frowned. I looked down at my stomach and felt it. Oh no.

But what she didn't know is that it couldn't be Kaden's. It'd be too early to feel Kaden's...

I was having Noah's child.

The blood drained from my face and I swallowed weakly.

"Don't worry about it, we'll take care of you and it." My mother said and I snarled.

"Don't you dare touch my baby." I snapped and she smiled and walked away.

"I'd like to say hello to my grandchild when they arrive, ya know?" She said before leaving and I hugged myself before curling up into a ball. I glanced back at the chicken and ate the rest of it then closed my eyes.

I just wanted to go home.
