How long has it been since he started torturing Ellie? How long has she been enduring the beating he was giving her? How much longer… is Ellie going to keep silent and be so stubborn?!“Come on, already!” Steve shouted, landing a punch to her gut. “Why don’t you just yield so we can get this over with?!”Ellie, slightly bruised from the thrashing Steve had been giving her, with a bit of blood trailed down from the corner of her lips. Blood in which she spat at Steve’s face.“Maybe it’s because I value my pride so much. Unlike a mere mutt like you,” she insulted. “You who threw away your pride the moment you decided to make use of another werewolf. I’m amazed you’re still made into a Beta despite that. Then again, this whole thing was Aiden’s idea. With an Alpha as scummy as him, it’d be no wonder why the rest of the pack is the same. And you blame me for what’s become of the people here? Guess you’ve never heard of karma. Now that’s really sad.”Enraged and disgusted by the blood spat
If the Hermit Pack wanted anything to do with her- if they wanted her to take part in that Wolf Swap Rite again, and take away the rest of her wolf- Ellie would never let that happen. Not again. She didn’t care if they do anything to hurt her, or even how far they go about in doing it. Yes, she wanted to see her blood family again, question them why she was left in the middle of the woods for these Hermit mutts to pick up and use, but if the price of seeing them again is to lose every last bit of herself as a werewolf, she refused to let that happen. Rather, she’d sooner die than lose what was left of herself.That was what she had resolved herself for… But William? He who has nothing to do with their conflict? While she did consider the possibility that they may use his life to force her into doing their bidding, given how Steve was solely focused on her, she quickly toss the idea out of the window, thinking that the Beta still had some pride left to not resort to such a tactic.

Earlier that day, before he spoke to Aiden about his lack of progress with Ellie, Steve actually made a small visit to William. Before, he had actually already considered using the guy to make Ellie change her mind about her stance. He was already weakened, anyway, and he wanted to make the Alpha spill a whole lot more blood, tear him limb from limb! And also bring his head to the Devorare Pack and make them all bow to him as their new Alpha.A werewolf who slays a pack's Alpha will become their new Alpha. With the state the Hermit Pack is in, they will need new members who will do all the hunting for them to bring them back in their proud state. What better pack than the Devorare Pack?As he walked in, since it had been a few days since Steve brought William in, only ordering the slightest bit of care to be given- as the Beta just wanted the enemy Alpha to be alive and well enough for him to enjoy torturing the life out of him- Steve had expected to see the guy on the ground, starvin
Remembering his interaction with William was making Steve's blood boil. How dare that mutt act so high and mighty in his presence? When he is the one who is trapped in silver confinement! Yet, despite the fact that he is trapped inside of something that a werewolf should NOT safely touch, William dared slam his hand on the bars. Kept it there as though there was never any silver on them! Any other werewolf would've squirmed upon contact, no matter how tough they are! Yet he was fine?!'I am starting to question if that thing is even a werewolf! Notorious or not, being able to handle that is ridiculous!' he thought. 'Had I known if he was that dangerous, I would've taken the chance to do more damage to him. In fact, I should've done more before dragging him in that cell! Break his bones. Chain him in silver chains. Maybe even see if that gypsy has any wolfsbane to keep in him check.'"Steve. What happened between you two?" Aiden asked again. "You must've given him a visit at some point
In the dungeon, William sat in his cell, rubbing his burned hand.'Even if it is you, William, that was far too reckless. What were you thinking? Slamming your hand on the bars like that?' Liam scolded his werewolf.'Shut it, will ya? Just got in the moment. Besides, it's not like I'm the only one who got pissed off by what that one-armed wolf was saying. You would've done the same exact thing,' William retorted, wincing slightly as he continued his attempt to soothe the pain he had inflicted onto himself earlier from Steve's visit.As the Beta had suspected, William truly did pretend to be unfazed when he slammed his hand on the silver bars. Although it affected him just as much as it would any other werewolf, the Alpha refused to let it show on his face, for he wanted to impose some fear onto Steve. To teach him a valuable lesson that should be taught to any overconfident, foolish werewolf like him.To NEVER mess with a werewolf superior to you.William may be trapped inside a silve
William didn’t know how to feel when Ellie gave her reason for following Steve down to the dungeon. Specifically about not wanting to leave him behind. On one hand, it annoyed him to an extent, for she made it sound as though he was weak, when he was only taunting Steve, getting him all riled up into doing something that would later be his downfall. On the other...'Was she... worried about us?' Liam wondered, touched by their fated mate's action.'Don't flatter yourself. She's not worried of us as mates; she just doesn't want us to fall victim to what these mutts will do to us,' William told him, though also feeling something for the action.Steve, on the other hand, grew enraged by what Ellie said. Even more so after getting slammed face-first into the silver bars, a burning scar left on his face. "Return what I've given you? You mean beat me like I did to you? Who did nothing but succumb to your fate? Like hell you will! You think I will play the nice guy and be a gentleman to you?
In Maddie's house, the Alpha did not know why, but she was suddenly feeling a little restless. It was not only because she was bored, but for some reason, she couldn't feel calm at all. As far as she could tell, nothing was happening outside her house. No wolves rampaging on and getting into fights, no complaints of any sort was being made. Yet, she could not relax.'What is this funny feeling I've been getting...?' she wondered. 'Am I just bored because there is nothing else to do in this house?'Maddie highly doubted that was the case. A doubt that then made her wonder why she was feeling odd. She could try to sleep it off, but she didn't feel like wanting to sleep either. What was going on with her?'I suppose a little walk around the house won't hurt. I was told to not leave the house, but Albus didn't say I should stay in my room. Besides, he has the whole building protected under a spell,' she decided, leaving her bed.As she walked to the door, she was surprised to hear heavy,
Back in the dungeon, it became absolute hell for Steve. He thought with most of Maddie’s wolf in her and vice versa, Ellie would be as weak as his girlfriend initially was. How terribly wrong he was… Ellie being able to stand on her feet was not her acting tough at all. Likewise, the hits she got on him earlier were not just her being lucky as he had thought. No… He had sparred with her plenty of times before; this was basically Ellie back at full power!‘How… is this even possible?’ he wondered, getting relentlessly punched and kicked by his former mate. ‘She’s not supposed to be this strong anymore; her wolf is in Maddie! Either that or it’s supposed to be gone! Don’t tell me… Did she fake being weak this whole time?! No, that couldn’t be it. Back when we beat her, she had definitely gotten weak. And Maddie definitely got her strength from her wolf. So why the hell…? Why the hell is she this strong?!’Ellie landed a claw attack at Steve right in the face, knocking him back down, an
