GAVRAEL~Whoever had fed these hunters information to use against us would be very sorry when I get my hands on them. There was no other way for humans to have known of their existence and these other things that could be used against them, except the humans were informed by somebody on the inside. A shifter must have told them, but why? No matter what issues packs had among themselves, it was forbidden to involve humans for security purposes. Remaining anonymous prevented clashes between humans and supernatural beings, it was better to remain figments of their imaginations. Humans feared what they could not understand, and that fear may lead to irrational decisions like unnecessary wars.Three days. It has been three days since I felt Adaira’s pain through our bond and she seemed to have vanished from the face of the earth. I was almost out of my mind with helpless rage and fear. Only the thought that she needed me to find her kept me going, kept me partially sane. She must have bee
ADAIRA ~ My eyes felt so heavy and all I wanted to do was keep sleeping, keep my eyes closed and rest. But my instincts were warning me that there was danger close by and for that reason I tried to force my eyes open. I felt so tired, no, not tired, drained. Like all the strength had been sapped out of me with a vacuum. It took several minutes to open my eyes, and as I did, I had to close them because even though it wasn’t very bright where I was, the small light still hurt my eyes. My mind was scrambled, groggy, disoriented, vacillating between a dream and reality. I tried to call on her strength but I could not feel my wolf like I should. That would have made me wary if I had the strength to feel such emotion at the moment. Right now, it was taking all of my energy just to keep breathing. I began to hear voices but I wasn’t sure if they were real or if this was just a figment of my imagination. “She’s waking up.” One voice said. “It’s not a she, it’s a bloody freak of nature. You
ADAIRA~My thirst had gotten worse, and if not that I know that my sweat was infected with the poison in my system, I would have licked as much of it as I could off my skin. I was getting weaker, and my senses were getting duller. I need some form of nourishment to keep my body going or I may end up dying here since I couldn’t draw sustenance from my wolf. No! I shook my head to banish the thought of death. I refuse to die here being treated like an animal. I refuse to die in captivity. I will live, and I will get free, if not for anything, then to make sure everyone involved in my capture gets a taste of the pain I planned to give them. I just have to hold on for a while longer.“Are you ready to answer me now? Or should I find better ways to convince you?” The boss said as he stepped back into the room.He was accompanied by four males this time, Barry and Mason and two new ones I haven’t seen before.“So that beast really turned to this? To a human?” One of the new males that was
ADAIRA~“Is that okay for you or do you need more food? I know your body systems are faster than ours, but I don’t know how much of your metabolism was affected by the wolfsbane.” The female asked as she squatted outside the bars.She was closer to me than any of the males had dared to come. She had guts, or maybe she just had too much trust in the wolfsbane injection she had with her. She was also speaking to me like I was a friend, instead of the truth that I was just a potential lab specimen to her. If that was her way to gain my trust, then she was just as stupid as the males behind her.“Stop acting like you care about my well being.” I said to her as I shoved the meat down my throat.Thankfully, it was cooked. If they had brought raw meat to me to reiterate their point that they only saw me as an animal, I would have thrown a fit like the last time they gave me water in a dog bowl. It’s not like shifters didn’t eat raw meat, but most shifters, including me, usually only did so
ADAIRA~It was funny how time moved slowly especially when you need it to be faster. Seconds seem like long minutes and minutes seem like endless hours. I was sedated with my next meal ration when they came for me the next day, and then I was taken to a white room. White tiles, white walls, white ceiling, even the bed I was chained to with silver was white, I was dressed in a white gown, the chair was white. It was irritating to me because it was so unnatural to have everything so bland. I was injected with more wolfsbane while the female, who was also dressed in white from head to toe, started her experiments.She took so many samples of my blood, forced my mouth open to take saliva samples, even injected me with something to make me urinate so she could get a urine sample. It was all so humiliating, degrading and dehumanising, but I was too weak to resist her. At this point, I was sure that the only reason I stayed alive was because of whatever part of me has been hidden, the part
ADAIRA~She smiled smugly like she didn't believe I could have summoned my mate in just less than a minute when I was still weak. "This place is a fortress meant to keep out your kind. I've had time to experiment and make all kinds of weapons that work against you. If you truly called him, then he will die trying to save you. Even your whole pack would not be able to rescue you here, and I know they won't all leave to come save you to avoid being revealed to others." She said.She must have a whole arsenal if she truly believed that a pack of shifters wouldn't be able to break in here. But apparently, their informant failed to tell them how powerful Gavrael is. I didn't bother explaining to her."I have already told you to forget about escape or rescue. You are my prisoner and…" She stopped talking when Gavrael appeared beside me.Her eyes widened and she stumbled backwards."W.what…" She stuttered and even without my enhanced senses, I could still smell her fear.That was a sign of
ADAIRA~I was too tired to ask him questions, and I had so many. Like how did he just do that? I’ve never heard or seen of a shifter that could control one of the elements. According to history, only very few, very special sage wolves could manipulate the elements like he just did. Has he always been able to do this? Or did he retain some of his high level of powers after using them to bring me back from the other side? Later, when I can do more than lift a finger, I will ask every question I have.“And I will answer every one of them.” Gavrael replied to me.He spoke out loud but I replied through our mind link because I didn’t have the energy to speak.“Stay out of my head, Gavrael. I’m too weak to block you out, but for once, respect my privacy and stay out of my thoughts.” I said to him.“Privacy doesn’t really exist between mates, it’s the point of bonding our minds and souls together.” He replied.“I almost lost you, just let me have this.”“Suddenly, our mate bond and its purp
ADAIRA~“I thought I told you to stay out of my head?” I asked him with a sneer and he sighed.“I didn’t realise I was doing so. My apologies.” He said and I snorted.Didn’t realise, my ass. He knew what he was doing, I was sure of it. Did he really think he would deceive me with his Mr nice guy act? I won't fall for it again, he had worse mood swings than a female in heat.He stayed silent as I undressed and stepped into the shower stall. I sighed with relief as the cold water cascaded down my body from my head to my toe washing off the remnants of the past few days of captivity off my skin. The memories would not be so easy to wash away, but this was a start. I really need that bath, I need to immerse myself in water that was as hot as my skin could stand without peeling off. It was the only way to make me feel like I had cleansed myself.“The pack doctor is here.” Gavrael announced after a few minutes.I wanted to stay under the spray of water longer, but I knew he was right, I ne
