Helene"Come on out, Missy!" The new guard assigned to my cell ordered suddenly, and I furrowed my brows in confusion."What did you say?" I asked, trying to make sure that I had heard correctly.I needed to be sure that she just instructed me to come out because I hadn't been asked to leave this cell since I arrived here, and hearing her tell me to come out didn't seem believable."Are you deaf or something, kid? I said, ``Come on out, Missy!" She repeated herself, and now my question was why she was asking me to come out and why she sounded so rude for absolutely no reason.I didn't even realize I had a new guard until yesterday, when she certainly showed up in front of my cell and yelled at me for singing too loudly.I noticed yesterday that she didn't like me very much, and I hated the fact that she was taking out her anger on me when I didn't even do anything wrong to provoke her."Listen, Lady, I don't know who you think you are or how important you feel simply because you have
Helene The first thing I noticed about the place was how ugly and repulsive the interior was.I mean, it's not like I was expecting anything grand, but it should at the very least not be such an eyesore. They didn't even make an effort to make the place look the least bit humane, and it legit felt like I was walking through hell because almost everywhere was dark and dirty, and my goodness, don't even get me started on the disgusting smell, and the only thing giving this place illumination was a few barely lit touches.The place looked exactly how I've always imagined that prison would look, and it was even slightly worse than I thought."What's wrong, kiddo? Are you shocked? Are you surprised to see what it really looks like outside your cute little comfort space?" My stupid guardian demon asked, and I rolled my eyes at her without bothering to respond.I honestly don't understand what it is that she really wants from me, but I'm getting the feeling that she's only trying to scare m
Brenda "What did you just say?" I asked again to make sure that I had heard correctly."I said, Alpha Hunter, your boyfriend, took away his mate's special privilege, and now the kid has been thrown into the den of wolves to survive on her own," Keisha answered, and I calmly took a step back to process what she just said.It occurred to me that she just mentioned something about Hunter taking away his mate's privileges, and I knew that the news was supposed to make me happy, but for some reason, I was a lot more bothered by the fact that he had done that.I couldn't even explain exactly why I was bothered, but something just didn't feel right to me, and I couldn't be completely satisfied that he had only taken away her privilege.When I found out that she was thrown in prison, I was happy about it because I felt like keeping her in prison would mean that Hunter had no intention of paying attention to her, and I expected him to come to me and explain things to me, but he didn't even in
Helene "Who do you think you are to be walking around here with that look on your face?"I almost panicked when her hoarse voice questioned me, but then I remembered what Owen had told me about showing fear, and I quickly had to snap out of it."What look?" I asked, wearing an unreadable expression on my face.If I were being honest with myself, I was very nervous right now because I had never had to deal with this kind of situation before, and I had no idea how things could turn out or what I should say to avoid a confrontation.I wasn't in the mood to have any sort of argument or get into a fight with anyone, especially people like them, but knowing the kind of person that I am, I don't trust myself to hold back should they try to do something or say something that I may find annoying.The hoarse-voiced lady wasn't seated alone, and she had about four other scary-looking women seated at the same table with her, but I made sure not to make eye contact with any of them because I didn
HunterA week later..."What is with that sore look on your face, little cousin?" Aurora's familiar voice asked from behind me, and I turned to look at her with a tired look on my face."Is it that obvious?" I asked."I could already tell from afar that you had a lot on your mind, and that's the main reason why I stopped to approach you. So, what's up with you, and why do you have that look on your face?" She asked with a hint of concern in her tone.I let out a frustrated sigh before tapping the space on the bench I was seated on, gesturing for her to take a seat.I had so much on my mind at the moment, but I needed to let it out and thought I needed to talk to somebody to gather my thoughts and also figure out what to do about the situation that I was in.I haven't spoken to Aurora about anything concerning my mate, and that is mainly because Aurora is usually never around and she and I only have very serious conversations once in a while."I'm pretty sure you've already heard this
HeleneA few hours earlier...It's been about now since I started to frequent the cafeteria, and I haven't experienced what I experienced on my first day here because I've been more careful, and even though I'm aware that they're watching me, I've been making sure to keep my distance and also stay very close to the idiot that was guarding me.As much as I could not stand the woman for being so talkative, I needed her to stick around me because I didn't want to get into a fight just yet, and I was waiting for the perfect timing to carry out the plan that Owen had advised me on a few days ago.I wasn't too sure if it was the right thing for me to do because I could end up doing things wrongly and getting hurt very badly, but I still wanted to try it because it was the only option that seemed doable for me at the moment, and I'm already desperate to leave this place, so I had no other choice. Even though I have been keeping my distance from these people, I haven't failed to notice the d
Helene I panted heavily as I watched the chaos unfold right before my very eyes. Everything was going according to plan, and as much as it scared me that things could turn upside down in a split second, it still thrilled me to see how things would end eventually.The plan I had was simple. All I needed to do was provoke the beasts that already had their eyes on me, and then I made sure that I got into a messy fight with them so that I could end up getting injured. The injury isn't going to be serious, and it most probably won't be coming from them, but I intend to make them look like villains and make myself into a victim.I'm aware that the plan sounds ridiculous, and I'm also aware that if care isn't taken, I could end up getting into serious trouble, getting hurt in ways I didn't want, or even worse, getting killed.The people I was dealing with were experienced criminals, and I could have ended up making things difficult for myself by provoking them but judging by the scene I was
Hunter I don't know what came over me, but as soon as I heard that Helene had gotten hurt in a fight, I immediately lost my cool and rushed to go and see her without even thinking about it. The only thing that I could think of on my way to her was how she was doing, and I could only hope that whatever injury she sustained wasn't serious at all. I would have myself to blame should anything happen to her because I put her in there just to bully and threaten her, and whatever happens to her is automatically on me.I arrived in front of the place, and the first person I spotted was Keisha."Welcome, sir," she said."What's the situation?" I asked her hurriedly, ignoring her greeting and getting straight to what brought me here.I honestly could not remember the last time I was this worried about anything or anyone, and the only thing that was on my mind right now was making sure that Helene was perfectly fine because, according to the guard who informed me there was a fight, one of th
Helene "You know, you should be thanking me instead of hitting me," Dre said, causing my frown to deepen, and I scoffed. "Are you out of your damn mind? Did you happen to hit your head or something?" I asked, wondering why he would even dare to say such nonsense. If he had any brains at all, he should be apologizing to me for being the reason why I'm here right now, because if it wasn't for him finding me at the lake where I was peaceful, just sightseeing and enjoying my peace, I wouldn't have had to meet Hunter or deal with the numerous shitty situations I've had to deal with since I, unfortunately, found myself in this pack. "You should be apologizing to me right now instead of wearing that smug look on your face," I said, and he furrowed his brows in confusion. "I should apologize. For what exactly?" he asked. "I don't think I have anything to apologize for because, last I remember, you trespassed into our territory where you didn't belong, and as a good member of the pack and
HeleneI didn't want to admit it to myself, but right now, I was hurt, and I couldn't pretend like I didn't know why.I wasn't exactly surprised that Hunter left me on my own to go meet with his girlfriend because I'm aware that he loves her, but it still hurts regardless, as did the fact that he did leave a very bitter taste in my mouth. I know that I mentioned earlier that I did not feel some type of way around him and that I had complete control over my emotions, but the truth is, I lied about that, and I certainly don't have as much control as I'd like to have. In fact, I'm a complete mess at the moment, and I can't even deny it. I'm internally burning with envy and jealousy, and I'm also feeling very unwanted and secondary.I can't say that I, not Elena, have feelings for Hunter or anything like that, but the crazy attraction that I've felt for him in the last few days has been extremely suffocating, and I hated the fact that I was slowly feeling way too comfortable and excited
Hunter "Can you slow down and stop walking so quickly?" Helene yelled from behind me. "I'm not walking quickly; you're just too slow," I said, not bothering to slow down my pace. "Isn't this supposed to be a stroll? If you're taking me for a tour, you need to slow down and let me at least get the chance to know where I am and take a proper look around," she hissed, and I could tell by how heavy her breathing was that she was finding it very difficult to keep up with me, which was weird since she wasn't exactly short and I wasn't expecting her to be so slow.I halted in my tracks before turning to face her, and as soon as I saw how she looked, I burst out laughing without even realizing it. "We haven't even gone that far yet, and you're already looking like you walked a thousand miles? Are you that lazy?" I questioned, genuinely surprised that she'd look so breathless and tired.She had her back bent with her hands resting on her knee, and she was sweating a lot more than I expect
Helene "Look who finally decided to show up! Welcome, Alpha Hunter," I greeted cheekily as Hunter walked in, with a falsely excited smile on my face. "Get up and come out!" he commanded rudely almost immediately, and my smile dropped. "Excuse me?" I cocked my head to the side, visibly confused and offended by his tone. "Why are you telling me to get up and come out? Where to?" I asked, not hiding my irritation. "Can you just get up and do as I asked before you start questioning me?" He hissed impatiently, and I scoffed. "I get that you're the Alpha here, and you're probably used to commanding anyone however you like, but you're not going to speak to me like that and expect me to just listen to you without any questions. First, you'll have to explain to me why I need to get up and come out with you, and if you can't do that, then you can forget it," I reprimanded him snappily. I'm aware that it's very disrespectful of me to talk to him like that, and I shouldn't be pushing his b
Helene "I want an apology from both of you, and I want it now!" I demanded sternly, with both my arms crossed around my chest. "Who? Me? You want me to apologize to you?" Mia asked, and I threw her a dirty look. "I believe I just made it clear that I want you two to apologize to me, so yes, Mia, you're included," I responded snappily. Owen and Mia were in my room for about fifteen and ten minutes, respectively, but I refused to talk to either one of them until they apologized to me. "You keep telling us to apologize to you, but you still haven't told us why we need to apologize. Am I supposed to just render an apology when I have no idea what my offense is?" Mia asked. I sighed. "Well, you should think back and try to think for yourself about what exactly you could have done or said to me that's making me demand an apology from you," I retorted, confusing her even more. I wasn't going to tell them what exactly I was upset about because I needed them to figure it out on their ow
Hunter"I saw you!" Damon drawled in a singsong tone as soon as he walked into my living room. I stared back at him in confusion, wondering what he was going on about and why he was staring at me like that. "What exactly did you see, and what's with that look on your face?" I questioned her suspiciously. I didn't like the fact that he had such a creepy smile on his face, and I was also quite uncomfortable with his suspicious stare. "Are you going to pretend like you don't know what I want to talk about?" he asked.I knitted my brows in confusion as I watched his creepy smile grow wider and wider. "Listen, Damon, just in case you didn't notice, it's already quite late at night, and I don't think either one of us should have the energy to waste our time, especially since we have a lot on our plate tomorrow. So in other words, I'll advise that you tell me why you're here or else I'll have you kicked out," I threatened boredly, even though I didn't mean it. "I know you know what I'm
Helene "Ouch!" I flinched in pain as Hunter applied ointment to the injury on my arm. "Stop being such a baby and deal with it!" he hissed, and I threw him an irritated glare. "And you should stop trying to worsen my pain, idiot. Didn't they ever teach you how to be gentle with women?" I fired at him angrily. He scoffed. "Oh, trust me, baby girl, I am extremely gentle with women, but with you? Never going to happen!" He retorted, applying the ointment even more aggressively and causing me to flinch even more. "Okay, that's it! Thanks for your help, but I'll take it from here," I snapped, snatching the ointment from him and proceeding to apply it myself. "Suit yourself, kid," he said nonchalantly, and I stared back at him with intense disgust. "What's with that look? You're the one who took it away from me," he added defensively, and my glaring only intensified. "Stop calling me a kid already, you douche!" I growled at him with a furious look on my face. I was genuinely sick and
HunterThe last thing I expected was for Helene to run toward me so quickly after staring at me briefly, but instead of feeling upset that she ran to me in a public space, I was more upset by the fact that she had run despite knowing that she was seriously injured.She stood in front of me in her wolf form, almost like she was waiting for me to come to her, and instinctively, I climbed down from where I was, walked in front of her, and the first thing I did was squat so I could take a better look at her injury."You know that you shouldn't be running around in this state, right?" I muttered with a sigh as I lightly touched her injured arm."You're the reason I'm in this state," she responded through a mental link, and something about the way we just communicated made me feel very weird.This would be the first time that she and I would communicate like this, and I felt some type of way because I didn't expect to ever be in such a situation with her, and I always thought that I would b
Third-person POVHunter's eyes widened in shock at the sight of Helene in her wolf form. He couldn't believe that the wolf he was seeing in front of him was the same person he had called weak on several occasions and saying he was simply surprised would certainly be an understatement."Are you seeing what I'm seeing Hunter or am I already seeing things? Is that wolf supposed to be Helene?" Damon asked from beside Hunter, with a shocked and confused look on his face. They both had their eyes fixated on the grey-furred wolf in front of them, which was almost two times bigger than the opponent in front of her."To think you boys didn't take her seriously when she told you she wasn't to be messed with," Aurora hissed at them after noticing the shocked expressions on their faces. She was also quite surprised by the fact that Helene's wolf was almost the same size as her cousins and she couldn't help but be even more curious to know who Helene was."Isn't she bigger than me?" Damon blurted
