(Anna)
The next time I wake up, laid in the same position hurting. My back is aching like I’ve been for days. I’m no longer tied, and the bag is gone from my head. I try to stand and smack my head on some metal. poles. Well, that smarted, once the stars are gone from my vision, I realise I’m in a cage. A cage not big enough to stand in but I can just about lie down.
There are no blankets, no toilet, I see a small window on the far side of the room but that’s it. There are no lights, it’s so dark down here. As my eyes adjust, I realise there are more cages. Directly across from me is…I think, that might have been a female once. She’s not breathing and from the look of her she’s been dead a while.
I avert my eyes before my stomach rebels. I see dozens of cages that all have females in them. I count at least five dead, the females are all in various stages of undress, some don’t even have clothes on. I don’t recognise any of them. If my wall is the same as the one, I’m facing I guess I just found the missing females.
“Pssst Anna” I hear from my right; I know that voice. Excitement fills me, then it leaves. I wish she wasn’t here. In the cage next to me is Eve, she’s thinner than she was when she was taken, her once bright eyes are now a dull brown, her hair has been completely sha**d off and I think she’s missing an ear.
“Eve?” I gasp out “Oh Goddess, what have they done to you?” I’m openly weeping for my friend now.
“I got out and managed to hurt one of them, the ear was my punishment. Does the pack know where you are? Are they coming?” Eve seems hopeful.
“Patrick…” I gulp. “Patrick was hurt badly, James was fighting 3 wolves alone, I don’t know what happened. I woke up in a van and then got knocked out again and now I’m here.”
“Was Alpha Fraction there, did he see you?”
“I saw a wolf running towards us, it might have been Leo, but he was too far away I don’t know for sure.”
“Oh Goddess, no one is coming. I thought if I held out then I would be rescued. When I watched them bring you in, I thought you were part of some plan.”
“I’m so sorry Eve. Is Lisa here? Who has us? I don’t understand any of this.” I’m sat with my knees to my chest as Eve explains, when she’s finished. I understand, we aren’t getting out of here. None of us are.
Eve is picking at her fingers I think as a distraction more than anything. When she speaks, she sounds like she’s detached from what she’s saying. like she’s watching someone else say it, “When they took me, they put me and Lisa in a van, like you we were drugged and when we woke, we were in these cages. The beatings started almost. immediately: Lisa got it worse she kept arguing back so they would hit her harder.
As each day passed more and more females were brought in. They move the dead out once a week, normally at night. They make sure you are dead by putting a bullet in your headfirst.” I want Eve to stop but I also don’t, I have to know what’s coming. “Every now and again they take a few of us upstairs.” Eve takes a deep breath “These men come, and they pay to have us. If we don’t fight back then they feed us that night, if we fight then we get beaten to almost death. It’s how I lost my car. I fought back hard and killed one of their customers. So, they marked me. Lisa killed herself after the first time upstairs.
She came back covered in blood, the customer had her so hard he made her bleed. She was distraught. That night she smashed her head against the bars until she didn’t move anymore. And then it’s just me and these females until you got here.” She turns to me, “I wish you weren’t here but I’m glad I’m not alone anymore.” Eve curls up on the floor facing away from me, I can barely hear her crying over my own sobbing.

“ALMOST A YEAR AND NOTHING. MY MATE JUST VANISHED INTO THIN AIR?!” I’m shouting at the men standing in front of me, it’s not their fault. There has been no whisper, no scent, no bodies and no more missing females. It’s like they took Anna and vanished. It’s getting harder to manage, Leo knows Winter is of age now, he wants his mate. Find her already’ Leo growls ‘I’m trying d**mit’ I tell my wolf.
“We got word of an auction of some females up near The Whiteridge Pack, Alpha Callum and his Beta went to check it out, but it was female women being sold willingly.” James sits down with his whiskey. He’s as disappointed as I am. I turn to Rick hoping he has better news than James.
“I’ve been with our guest every night for the last three months and he isn’t speaking, he either lacks the motivation or he doesn’t know where they are.” Rick has a wicked scar on the side of his face and down hist back after the night Anna was taken, he’s taking it as his personal mission to get her back. The man nearly died, and he still blames himself.
“Maybe I should visit him again.” I say as I scan the emails on my computer screen, nothing new, nothing about Anna.
“You sure that’s wise? Last time you nearly killed him.” I look at James. with a raised brow, he holds his hands up in defence “I’m not saying he doesn’t deserve it, but a dead rogue can’t talk Alpha.”
“I’ll keep him alive; he will wish he wasn’t when I’m done.” I cr*ck my fingers and tell Leo to get ready as I head for the basement.
(Fraction)
As I make my way to the basement, I start to think of all the things that could be happening to my Little Wolf, the horrors she could be going through, the females that are missing, the dead ones we found and the ones we don’t know about. I’m working myself up, angering Leo, getting myself ready to inflict as much pain as I can.
Once I’m in the basement I pass the sparring mats, pass the punching bags and the free-standing showers, in the winter months we use the basement for training in small groups. Even wolves get cold. Behind all the equipment we have a door that leads to the cells. We rarely use them; we don’t really have the need for them, but my father insisted. they be built.
As I enter, I see eight solid silver bar doors, I walk to the very end and try to ignore the smell of pi*s, blood, sweat and fear. Having him down here for almost a year has embedded his stench into the very walls. He knows this place will be his tomb, when I’m ready to be merciful.
Once I reach his cell, I can hear the unmistakable sound of skin on skin. The smell of blood is fresh, and I step over a new puddle of pi*s running towards the drain. I peer around the wall and see one of my warriors taking his pound of flesh on our little guest. We don’t know his name, so we have been calling him Tommy, Good ol’ Tommy boy.
Tommy is a mess, he’s hanging from the ceiling, silver chains around. his wrists ensure he won’t break free. Silver doesn’t hurt us, but we can’t break it, it weakens us and is uncomfortable. He’s also injected with wolfsbane every two hours to ensure his wolf can’t heal him. Even with the silver his wolf could still heal his most pressing injuries. His knees are both at an odd angle, Rick’s work no doubt, they have been broken over and over until I doubt, they will ever set again. His back has been skinned, again Rick, payback for the scars he now carries. His face resembled a stamped-on orange, all scabs, puss and open wounds. He has various knife wounds over his torso, silver knives dipped in wolfsbane leave a knowing mark. He’s thin from lack of food and water, we do feed him but very little. Just enough not to kill him.
As my warrior starts carving into his chest, I hear “Tell me where the females are.” slice, “Where are they keeping them?” stab, “Tell me!” I can hear the rage in Liam’s voice, he’s a strong warrior and easily one of my top ten.
“Enough Liam, it’s my turn now,” Liam turns to me with a scowl on his face, his green eyes dilated and flashing yellow, he was really getting into this.
