STRATEGY.

I can understand his frustrations, it isn't easy to survive here, when we are always at our wits end in every second of our life, looking left and right knowing any minute from now, they could be next in line and we will not survive but we keep trying to hope for what isn't there.

On the other hand, Gonzalo seems to be the same age as well, but he is only just nineteen years old, he is an Alpha, a hot head, jovial and sometimes, so noisy. He has mixed white hair, which was a bit up to his neck, black gazes, red lips, almost six feet tall too, very muscular as me, a pointed nose and bright features. He had tattoos almost all over his torso and a bit of piercing, unlike the couple done on his ears.

It made me wonder if this was how boys dress around.

"And they are also taking lives, by taking away our wolf, how are we going to survive if our wolves are being taken away from us, we've got to do something about this fucked up mess,' Rolf said furiously.

Gonzalo tapped his shoulder. "Calm down, will ya, let's think of how to…"

Gerard turned to me, my heart skipped a beat when he faced him and motioned me to come, I hesitated for a second and then went towards him.

"Don't worry, you can take a seat." I bent down and sat down on the floor, wondering why this Alpha suddenly called me out of the blue.

He frowned. "How do we get out of here?'

Suddenly, I perceived a sweet smell flow across my nose and my eyes widened at the shock, my body welled in hotness, I could feel the heat.

My mate.

We both noticed it as our eyes widened in shock, I trembled and stepped back a bit, no, this is not happening.

If they find out, we are dead.

We both pretended like nothing had happened and stayed quiet about it, but the heat was between us and I could feel my body screaming to be touched, yet, I ignored it and acted calm.

I looked away from him, he just cleared his throat and kept talking on how to escape.

Rolf smirked. "Are we going to just burst out of here, you think it's easy, we need to leave here now, fucker."

"That's what I'm saying..."

Rolf interrupted. "You make it sound so easy, saviour, we've been here in this prison before you were brought in here, I know the kind of hell I saw, people are dying every day, blood is being wasted and used, we don't have time." He gritted, whispering fiercely at Gérard.

"Yeah, we don't,' Gérard yelled. "What do you want me to do, I should burst out of here forcefully and get killed. Calm down, think for once before you talk, we need a fucking plan.'

"That's what I'm talking about, we need a plan and the more we stand here, thinking of what to do, time ticks each and every second. Tomorrow could be my turn, it could be yours or Rolf here, who cares about that shit, I am here trying to think of what to do and you are here telling to create a fucking plan."

"If you don't get a plan, what are we going to do then, you are right, in a few minutes our head could be on a platter, then, we can do nothing…"

"Then, stop talking bullshit and bring the damn solution to the table."

"This is not the time to be arguing, if you really value our lives, keep still and remain silent." Rolf ordered and got up from the floor and his eyes watered and pain could be noticed in his tone.

"Why the hell are you guys arguing, our lives are at stake here, fucking keep it down.' Gonzalo sneered.

"I could do so, but tell him to keep his fucking mouth shut or else." Gérard threatened and sat back down on the ground but I could see him clenching his fist and furrowing his brows.

"Or else, what?" Gonzalo dared him.

"Please, I'm begging you, don't say anything, please." The same woman who was holding her child earlier pleaded with them to keep mute. "I don't want to lose my child, please and please, if they should hear us, we are dead, don't let them get attracted to us…"

"Shut your filthy mouth,' Gonzalo yelled angrily, his eyes were in rage as he walked towards the woman. "If I hear one more mouth, I will cut off your tongue, if not for this curse mark on my neck, I will treat you the way you deserve to be treated, don't mess with me, because I wouldn't take it likely with you, I will deal with you, when I'm done with you, you will learn to shut up." He threatened.

What did she do to make him pissed, she was only stating a simple point.

"Did I say anything wrong, I just made a fact, what is wrong in what I just said? Because I am simply stating a fact, we are talking about lives here, the noises you are making with your friends could cost us all our lives in here." she reasoned with tears in her eyes. "My daughter is scared, please keep it down, that's all I'm asking from you."

"Shut your mouth, old woman and don't let me pounce on you.' he darkly warned.

"Stay away from me, you are a prisoner just like the rest of us, I am older than you and don't…"

"Shut up.'

"I will not shut up." She remarked and her daughter began crying on her mom's shoulder.

"Really, it seems like you want to lose your life so badly.'

The woman patted her child's back and suddenly Gonzalo laughed and grabbed the little girl away from her, who screamed so much, everyone was beginning to get scared.

"Who's causing so much noise there?' The guard roared as he came to the prison with a whip and his eyes were thirsty for blood.
