Chapter twenty-one
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56The second day passed pretty uneventfully. Every now and then I would see a warrior or two pass by but very few paid any attention to me other than to check if my ropes were still tied under Elstans orders. I wasn't surprised really. I knew I could escape these ropes if I had more strength but unfortunately that didn't seemi to be happening any time soon. Occasionally a warrior on patrol who pitied me enough would give me some water or let me nibble on something. Never much because they knew, hell we all knew that if Elstan found out they would pay for it.
I stayed quiet unless I was directly talked to. I had devised a plan to be on my best behavior just until Elstans Alpha ceremony. I would make them think I had submitted and would blindly obey him just until then. Then right at the start of the ceremony I would run as fast as I could and as far as I could so that hopefully by the time him and his mate established the pack link I would

I woke to Amelia snoring very loudly in my ear. I opened one of my eyes in a squint to see my best friends face much closer to me then I would of preferred but I resisted the urge to laugh. I felt a surge of energy shoot through me and smiled. I guess I was too excited to go back to sleep anyways. I rolled over towards my alarm clock and inwardly groaned. Granted I had gotten my normal eight hours of sleep a part of me wished I had slept a little longer. I gently slid out of my bed so as not to wake Amelia and slipped on my slippers. I wonder what was for breakfast. I knew that was stupid of me to think. Every year for my birthday was the same thing. French toast, bacon, strawberries, sausage and pineapple. It had been that way since I was a child because that was what I had asked for. French toast was my absolute favorite and of course I loved bacon and sausage I was a wolf after all. The strawberries and pineapple were because they ar

By the fifth day the heat was getting to me. From the little sunlight that did filter through the trees I was sunburnt and it was severely uncomfortable. The warriors who passed by on patrols took pitty on me but didn't dare offer me any sunblock for fear Elstan would notice. From the little information I had been given each day from those who were sympathetic to me things were getting worse. Elstan was basically a tyrant and letting the power of being Alpha get to his head. Kyle told me yesterday that Elstan was pushing the warriors too hard during training that one of them actually collapsed and when they wouldn't get up he had the warrior dragged away and beat into submission. The warrior had been from one of the younger classes so probably around fifteen or sixteen years old. I truly felt for my pack and it was almost as if I could feel their fear and sorrow grow stronger and stronger each day but I didn't know what to do at this point in

True to Elstans words about an hour or so after he left the next patrol came around. They were silent as the ropes were undone and I was helped down from how I had been positioned on the tree. Unfortunately for me most of the wonds on my back had become infected and the warriors who were on this patrol were not ones I was particularly close to. They hadn't even bothered to bring me clothes or tried to clean and dress any wounds or give me anything for the slight rope burn that had occured on my wirsts and neck. As we walked back through the woods the elder of the two warriors walked in front of me while the younger walked behind me. I could feel his greedy eyes studying every inch of my body and for the first time in a long time I felt truly uncomfortable being checked out by a man and that was something that slightly surprised me. Normally I would of welcomed the attention and even tried to use it to my advantage. I was too tired, hu

"Ugh Mels we've looked through all the dresses here and not a single one grabs my attention." I said after the third store my best friend dragged me into. I wanted my eighteenth birthday dress to be perfect. After all I had to renounce Elstan as my mate permanently in front of everyone. I could feel Zariah stirring impatiently in me. She wanted me to look beautiful and feel comfortable for our first run too. "There's one store we haven't checked yet." My best friend said checking the mall directory. I groaned. "Fine but after this I want to get tacos from the food court got it? We've been here for the past three hours I'm a growing warrior you know." I said rolling my eyes while quoting my father. She snickered. "Alright alright we'll get your damn tacos. I have never met a wolf so obsessed with tacos." She said with a snicker. I panicked. "Keep your voice down. This is a non wolf

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

"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

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

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

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
