Chapter 10: flash back
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56"Kaydence?" I didn't look at Elstan. How could I? We had broken up right before summer vacation which was pretty typical at this rate with him despite the fact we lived not far from each other in the pack territory. Today was the end of our first week back at school and I was determined to just hurry up and get to the parking lot. I knew my mom was waiting for me so I focused on getting to her and getting away from him. I was so sick of the make up break up shit. I had decided on my sixteenth birthday I would never give back in to him. A part of me knew the only reason he was interested in me now was because I had developed over the summer and I wasn't going to fall for it. He grabbed hold of my wrist to try and get me to stop. I yanked it away and kept walking as quickly as I could.
"Kaydence please you're being ridiculous just please talk to me." He said again reaching for my wrist and spinning me around to face him. I was so angry I wanted

When I woke I could hardly open my eyes, despite the darkness it felt like something was pounding away a at my temple as if it was a tiny drum. I kept my eyes shut tight but must have uttered a small moan unconsciously because I could hear something or someone moving near by. The room I was in was cold and smelt slightly musty. It finally registered in my brain. I had lost the match for the title of Alpha like I had a feeling I would and now I was in one of the holding cells that I had insisted be renovated once I became Alpha. I forced myself to slowly open my eyes and look around. I had been right. This was a holding cell but it was one of the smaller ones. It didn't surprise me that Elstan would put me here. After all i posed a threat to him. Something didn't seem right though and I thought back to the match. Something about his scent had seemed off and I couldn't figure out what. "Kaydence?" A
Surviving my mate Chapter twelve
After three days I felt I was beginning to go mad. I wasn't sure if it had anything to do with the fact that I was kept in almost complete darkness or if it was due to me worrying about my pack and their safety. I knew Elstan wouldn't really hurt anyone, or at least I hoped not. Between that and the lack of food and sleep I was longing to be out of this cell. I decided the best thing I could do for my own survival and for the survival of my friends and my pack would be to give in to Elstan. I didn't want to because I still hated him deep down and I was still pretty convinced he had somehow cheated in our match but what other choice did I have? I just needed to submit long enough to find the evidence I needed that he had somehow cheated or regain my strength enough that I could challenge him or even kill him. I wasn't going to just submit completely. True to his word though Elstan had not come to see me a

I twisted from side to side in the mirror studying myself. The dark blue and gold dress twisted this way and that with my body. The bodice of it was tight enough that it clung to and accentuated my breasts in a lovely way. It loosened on my hips and flowed nicely down to my ankles. The pack crest nestled beautifully above my heart around the clasped shawl around my shoulders. Amelia had helped me curl and pin my hair up beautifully so that it looked similar to my mothers hair on her wedding day to my father. I felt the tears begin to form and suppressed the urge to cry again. I had been crying most of the day. Well most of the time really since my parents died. I tried to take deep breaths to steady myself and clear my mind before I undid all of Amelias hard work. She had worked so hard to make me look and feel beautiful for today. It had actually been three months since my parents had passed and despite the fact that majority of

It had been a week since Elstan had came. There wasn't much of a way to tell time in my cell but I heard a door opening somewhere and exchange of voices every eight hours. I figured it was guards changing posts. Plus once the sun went down I could feel Zariah getting stronger like she always did at night. It wasn't the best way to tell time but it was all I had. I hurt and ached everywhere from hunger and from the lack of being able to run around like I was used to. I had paced this cell so frequently since I had been locked up that I had worn out the socks I had been wearing. They were so full of holes that they did nothing to keep my feet warm. I had barely slept the entire time I had been here. Every time I felt like I was able to finally relax enough to sleep something woke me up. I just didn't know what. I could feel myself getting weaker every day and it drove me mad. I felt like I was about to loose what little sanity I clung to at an
Surviving my mate Chapter Fifteen
I was startled out of my sleep by the sound of my cell opening. I was so groggy I couldn't even turn towards the door to see what was going on. About an hour or so after Elstan had left last night one of the guards, whom I didn't even recognize, had brought me some clean clothes that were way too big on me and some food. It had felt so good to eat again. A part of me believed my grogginess was due to finally having a full stomach after a week but even Zariah was quiet which was unusual. That alone made me believe that there may have been something in the food. It wasn't unusual to put stuff in prisoners food, mostly to suppress their wolf or make them weaker so that they couldn't escape. My father had used this tactic and pretty much every alpha before him as far as we had known had done it as well. I had been against it at first but after a break out incident shortly after I became alpha I had changed my mind. I tried not to think abou

"Would you relax" Amelia said sitting on my bed watching me pace back and forth. I looked over at her and smiled. Even in just in pjs I thought my best friend was truly beautiful. I was glad she was here with me. I couldn't shake the thought that Elstan should have been the one sitting there. "Sorry I'm just so nervous." I said sitting next to her. We were wearing matching pjs just like we always did when she spent the night. Though since she turned eighteen three months ago and found her mate we hadn't really hung out much outside of school. It hadn't really bothered me much at that point because I had still been dating Elstan. Now I was alone though. He had broken up with me a week ago. Amelia had done the best she could to be there for me. This was the first time we had any alone time together though. "I understand. It's almost midnight, almost your eighteenth birthday. I remember when I met Yevette

I was left on that bed of spikes for what felt like an eternity but I no real way to tell how long I had been here. At first I thought this had been a mild torture but after a while I realized it really wasn't. After the fifth or maybe sixth hour of laying here that's when I really began to feel the spikes. My wounds could not heal and the fact I was drugged up and couldn't feel Zariah didn't help me any. The creaking of the door and a gasp made me feel like I probably looked worse then I thought I did. I heard brisk foot steps and felt hands quickl loosening the restraints and gently lifting me off the bed. I was quickly laid on the cool floor and rolled onto my side before I could even see who my rescuer was. I could hear running water behind me but I was too tired to look. "Kaydence I'm sorry this is going to hurt." I felt a warm,wet cloth on my back and it stinged so bad. I didn't scream though and tried my hard

I was still groggy and half asleep when I was abruptly woken. I was barely aware of Evans voice as he pleaded with me for something. I just couldn't tell what. I suddenly felt cold after hearing his voice for several minuets, perhaps longer. Before I could register why I was so cold I felt a sharp prick in my arm and then I was being dragged against something hard and cold. It was most likely the floor. I heard a squeaking sound of a heavy metal door with most likely fairly old and rusted hinges and then a bang of the same door as I was dragged out into the fairly hot day. The feeling of the sun on my skin finally oriented me to the current moment. I was being dragged by Elstan towards the woods. The wounds in my back became painfully aware of what was going on and I feel blood seeping from them. Evan walked behind Elstan holding rope and some other things and looked sad for me. He said nothing though when I made eye contact with him. I felt

We were on the road towards Palecrest territory within a half hour. Amelia and Kyle took their Jeep and I rode with Dominic. The other two men who I learned were his beta and gamma rode with his mother and their mates The backseat of Dominics vehicle had been folded down and several totes of my belongings the Amelia had been able to save filled the back to the point we couldn't see out the rear window. I knew at least one tote housed some of my parents belongings that she had managed to save and the others were mine I think. I owed her big time for risking herself to save what she did for me. I would find a way to thank her especially since it was my fault we had all been exiled. "Kaydence you said something was off what did you mean by that." Dominic finally asked about an hour into the drive. "Oh. I don't know how to explain it really and I have no proof but I think Elstans been taking something." I

I turned and faced Elstan, he smelt weird again. No one else really seemed to notice it though. Nor did they notice the frail petite looking woman beside him. Was this his chosen mate? She looked up at him with a fearful expression then looked at me with hatred. I just looked at her confused.She looked away though and practically hid behind Elstan. Was she chosen or forced I wondered. And how old was she because she looked really young. "Good evening Elstan." Dominic said politely. Elstan sneerd at him and I could feel Dominic tense up. Two male wolves I hadn't noticed before took their stance beside him while two female wolves I didn't recognize ushered me and his mother to stand behind them. I could defend myself but I didn't object. "Do you really plan on taking my pretty little slave away? I think you have forgotten that pack slaves are not allowed to take mates." Elstans eyes stayed on me the entire time he spoke.

I finished the cleaning and set up on time thankfully. I felt tired but knew I had too much to do still. Elias helped me stash the boxes for the decorations and helped me carry the cleaning stuff back to the supply room. He seemed antsy for whatever reason but I felt antsy as well. I wasn't able to clearly communicate with Zariah yet but I expected as much. I was certain that her antsy and erraticness was due to my own nervousness and uncertainty over escaping. I played it cool as much as possible but used her antsy behavior to my advantage. "Ok Ruby said to head back to the kitchen when I was done." I said smoothing my dress after putting everything away. "Alright lets go. The sooner you're back in Rubys care the sooner I can go get dressed." I nodded and ducked into the kitchen. Ruby looked up from her station and brought me a bowl of oatmeal. I quickly ate it and by the time she was back with a vegetable peeler I had finishe

Zeff started to become anxious and unusually antsy half way through the drive and because of that so did I. Xander gave me a sidelong glance as he started to notice my antsy behavior as I started to fidget more and more. "Alright dude I give do you have to piss or something?" Xander finally asked me. "I don't know what your'e talking about I'm fine." I snapped. Xander raised and eyebrow at me and turned down the music. "Dude what gives? Why are you being a dick all of a sudden." I sighed. "I'm sorry I don't know why but Zeff Is going berserk. He's anxious and antsy and I don't know why. Last time this happened was right before we had that last rouge attack." Xander furrowed his brows. "Do you think something is going to happen at the ceremony?" Rowan asked leaning forward over the center console. "I'm not sure but just in case be rea

I woke up a few hours before dawn so that I could go over the details in my mind one more time. Before the ceremony started, while everyone was starting to gather outside I was going to say I needed the ladies room, breakfast and lunch weren't agreeing with me. Emron had skipped a note under my door stating he would have one of the warriors approach Elias and distract him long enough for me to slip out the window. I was going to use the bathroom closest to the garages. Slip out the window and into the garage. Emron has it set up so that one of the Jeep's would be unlocked with tap bags worth of stuff hidden in the back for me. I just hoped this would work. I didn't want to doubt the plan but I was still worried something would go wrong. I started to pace back and forth chewing on my thumbnail. I was trying to think of everything that could go wrong and plan a way around each scenario that popped into my head. I could feel something stirring i

I rolled over as my beta and best friend Xander pulled back the curtain to let the morning light in and greeted him with a growl. He gave me the middle finger and walked over to my closet. He practically threw the doors open and I could tell he was irritated. I looked at the clock on the bedside table and could see why. It was three in the evening, we were supposed to leave for the Alpha and Luna ceremonies for the Deepridge pack almost an hour ago. "Get dressed, wash up because you smell like a whores vagina after she was working all night and cheap alcohol." Xander said aggressively laying a suit with the packs symbol on it. He laid out one of my black button shirts out with it and matching socks along with a royal blue tie and black dress shoes. "Who died and made you boss?" I growled. He flinched a little but his anger was fairly clear. He was one of the few people in this world I would ever let talk back to me, mostl

I twisted from side to side studying myself in the mirror. Amelia sat behind me in a gorgeous red satin dress applying some dark red lipstick using the compact mirror I had bought h er on our first day of highschool. She looked up at me and winked. "Gorgeous babe." She said snapping the cdompact shut. I smiled sheepishly. "Its not too much?" She shook her head and I studied myself again. I really loved this purple dress and I couldn't wait to walk to my fathers side wearing it so that he could proudly announce that I was officially eighteen and had met my wolf. I couldn't wait to let Zariah run free beside my pack. I was nervous though because tonight I would have to renounce Elstan as my mate publicly. Amelia placed her hand on my shoulder and I smiled at her. "Everything will be fine Kay I promise. I know you're not used to dressing up like this but as your best friend in the whole world I swear to you

"Elias I finnished this bathroom." I said standing after being on my hands and knees for the past two hours scrubing every little inch of the male warriors shared bathroom. I had been assigned to the lowest two floors, the floors that i felt were always the dirtiest anyways. Elias stood from his chair in the hall where he had positioned himself mso that he could see my every move and walked around the bathroom. He gave a nod of approval and I let out a small sigh. "Alright lets empty that mop bucket and get you some clean rags so you can do the womens bathroom next." I nodded. "After that I'll take you back to the kitchen for your supper and then Ruby will take over from there understood?" I nodded. I quickly gathered up my supplies and followed him to the dirty supplies room. I quickly dumped the mop water being careful not to splash it anywhere and traded out the rags for clean ones while the bucket refilled with clean water.&n

A loud banging and some incoherent shouting woke me out of a dead sleep. I didn't need to hear to understand what was being shouted through my locked door. I stood and stretched which caused my back to hurt but I didn't have time to focus on that. I quickly brushed my hair and threw it up into a bun. I slid on underclothing and one of the ugly shapeless grey dresses. I stood in front of the door with my head bowed like Donna had told me to do last night. I still didn't have much of a plan for tomorrow but I had to just keep my head down and my mouth shut and everything would work our. Or so i hoped. I heard keys out front of my door and went over all of Donnas pointers in my head again. Keep my head down, hands in front of me or beside me. Don't speak unless directed to, just nod yes or no. Do not fight my orders. Do not fight the injections. Be calm and complacent, act stupid if i have to. Basically the exact opposite of who i am, great. Th
