Chapter 5

I woke up feeling pain all over me. I looked around trying to decipher where I was.

I noticed I was in my usual cell in the basement. It became my second home. I tried sitting up but I couldn't. I remembered how they injected me with some sort of drug.

My mum. 

She was gone. They killed her and I've never felt so numb in my entire life. 

I stared into space thinking about all the moments I had with her. Nobody can replace her. Nobody. 

I kept staring into space for a long time thinking about my mum, till I saw those familiar golden eyes glow in the dark staring back at me.

"For how long will you keep thinking about her?" The owner of those eyes questioned me. 

"Till I die?" I replied to him. "Why are you talking to me? I thought you were dumb?" I asked him emotionlessly. Everything was beginning to irritate me.

I had frequented this basement cell times without a number and he didn't speak to me. I even tried the last time I came to serve him food but he just kept staring. Now he wanted to talk? Not the right time buddy.

I heard him chuckle to himself. 

"Dumb? Of course, I can speak. There was just nothing to talk about before.

"So is there something to talk about now?" I questioned.

"As a matter of fact, yes." He stepped forward and moved away from the dark part of his cell and came into the light. 

He was fucking naked!

"Can't you get something to cover yourself with? I said moving my eyes quickly trying not to look anywhere below his torso.

He was freaking ripped and his body was toned. How could he have such a body by just sitting or lying down all day? 

By the time I looked back at his face, he looked amused. 

"You can look, I don't care actually. I love the attention" he said, smirking.

"I know you are still a virgin, I wonder how that stupid Alpha was able to resist you though. I mean you are a pretty little thing." 

"I'm not fucking pretty and how do you even get to know these things? I asked him.

My face was red from embarrassment. I have never spoken about my sexual life before.

He's hot and my hormones seem to be all over the place. What is wrong with me?

Oh! Dear moon goddess I hope my heat is not near yet, I can't deal with that right now.

"Don't worry about that. I also get this reaction a lot when I meet people for the first time.

I get all hormonal and all but don't fret. Since I'm not your mate you will be calm soon." He explained 

"Who are you? I asked him.

"You will know that later but for now let's get to business." He said with authority in his voice. 

"What business? I was confused.

"Like how you are going to leave this place and do what you have been destined to do. He said.

I laughed quietly. Then it became a burst of full-blown laughter. I held my ribs trying to stop myself from laughing because it hurts to laugh in this state. 

When I finally stopped, I looked at him and was looking back at me unamused.

"You know what I think?" He asked. "I think it's okay for you to remain here. Let them keep making you their punching bag. I know you are okay with that kind of life.

Then one day, when it gets too much for you, you would decide to end it all by killing yourself. When you die, these stupid people that don't give a dam about you will dumb your body deep in the forest to rot away.

Nobody would remember you and I think you are okay with that kind of life, Little Scar." He finished.

"Fuck you. You don't know shit about me."  I screamed.

All I ever thought of was to live to see the next day. I always wished to live a better life than the present one.

I never had any big dreams. Was that something I should be concerned about?

"All the years I've seen you in this cell little one, you were always brought in here either to be beaten or already beaten.

I know that's a lot for you but even in your pain, you need to find strength. I can't help you until you decide to help yourself first." He told me.

"Dare to dream little Scar!"

And with that, I was lost in my thoughts. He left me to think about it. I knew what he said was the truth, but how would I survive on my own?

How was I going to deal with rogues when I leave the borders of this pack? Those were the questions I always asked myself. 

I had no answer to my questions.
