Chapter 6

Camilla’s POV:

I ran as fast as my legs would carry me with tears trailing down my cheeks. I couldn’t tell if Seth was following behind be but as soon as I was deep inside the woods, I fell to the ground and fisted the dirt underneath me.

It felt like I couldn’t take in enough air and I brought my left fist to my chest and hit hard. “Breath!” I shouted, my voice echoing in the wind.

“You did this, Camilla. You wanted this, you rejected him.” I said to myself but it did nothing to ease the buring in my heart. I didn’t know how long I sat in the forest but when I looked up, the sun was peaking behind the trees.

The sound of twigs snapping make me snap my head to the side and I quickly scrambled to my feet. I pressed my palm into the tree next to me and turned my head around trying to find where the sound was from.

The sound came again and I took in a deep sniff, trying to find whoever it was and that was when I realized that I was no longer within Packs territory.

“Shit!” I cursed out and looked for any path that would lead me back to my pack but before I could take a step forward, a palm clasped around my mouth and my eyes wilden as I tried to struggle out of their hold.

“Let me go!” I tried to say, trashing and scratching but my words were muffled by the hand. I couldn’t get In enough air into my lungs and my head started spinning. I could feel myself loosing consciousness and soon, everything went black.

I gasped, sitting up right as memories of what happened came flooding into my mind. I looked around and realized that I was no longer in the woods and was what looked like a cell.

I pushed myself to a standing position but a wave of dizziness hit me and I stumbled a little and pressed my palm into my head to stop the spinning. Taking a step forward, I grabbed the metal bars of the cell and shakes it a bit, hoping for it to open. My breath came out in harsh breaths as I realized that I was in deep problems.

“Hello! Is anyone out there?” I called out but I was only met with silence. My hands began to shake as fear gripped my heart. “Please is anyone out there?!” I shouted again but jumped back in fear when I need the sound of metal thrown on the wall.

“Will you shut it you fucking bitch?” A voice spat opposite me but I couldn’t see because it was pitch black even with my heighten senses. “Some of us are trying to get a good night—or morning sleep!” The voice said.

I wrapped my hands around myself and tilted my nose up, trying to get a whip of their scent but gagged as the smell of rot hit the back of my throat.

“I wouldnt do that if I were you. Don’t worry, you’re new here and soon you will get use to the smell.” Another voice to my right said and I gulped.

“They’ve got the wrong person, I didn’t do anything wrong! I don’t know why I am even here!” I breathed out and forced back the tears that threatened to fall.

Someone chucked to my right and banged on the brick wall. “There is always something for them, even if it is the smallest reason.” They said and I fell to the ground with a shaky breath. “Now quite up.” They added.

As I curled into myself, tears hot on my cheeks, I realized that no one would come for me. The pack I’d once called home had turned its back long ago—Zoe’s death had sealed my fate. Even if I screamed until my throat bled, I’d be nothing but an inconvenience to them.

The sound of metal banging against metals shook me to the core and my eyes instantly opened. I looked around and saw that the light in the corridor was on and the yellow light dangled and flicked from the ceiling.

“Give me food!” Someone yelled. “I haven’t had anything to eat in weeks!” They added and I breathed harshly and dug my deep into my thighs.

“Shut up you filthy mutt!” A man yelled and the sound of footsteps drew closer untill they stopped right in front of my cell.

I didn’t see him until the rattling of keys cut through the silence, sending a jolt of hope through my chest. I pressed my palms flat against the cold bars, waiting. The others in the cells fell deathly quiet, as if they knew something I didn’t. The click of the lock sounded more like a death sentence.

“I knew it!” I said and looked as both of my sides though no one could see me through the concrete walls.

“I was brought here by mistake.” I added and took a step forward as soon as the lock came off. The others were silent and the only sound that could be heard was that of my heavy exited breathing and the cell door opening. I took a step towards the guard who’s face I still couldn’t see since his back was to the light.

“My—” I gasped, barely registering the blow until the sting spread across my cheek. The sharp taste of blood followed, coppery and warm, sliding from the corner of my mouth. He’d slapped me so hard I couldn’t even cry out immediately. His sneer cut through my daze. “You speak too much, filthy Omega.”

I didn’t even notice when the guard walked behind be but I yelled out in pain as he pulled my hands back and pushed me out of the cell. “What are you doing? Let me go!” I cried out but he only tugged harder and forced me to walk forward. “I didn’t do anything wrong.” I added but my cried fell on deaf ears.

The guard stopped for a moment and brought his lips close to my ear and it made me shiver in disgust. “Only Alpha Leo gets to say if you are guilty or not.” He said and then pushed the metal door in front of us open.
