Jade’s pov
Jacob came over for dinner and chatted the whole time, telling me about his job and the alpha. And how everything was better now that Alpha Ivar was in charge. ‘He’s really making some changes. Alpha Soren was fine and all, but he lacked ambition. Alpha Ivar wants to expand and grow. He has a long term plan for our pack’. Sally told Jacob how I was planning on going to school here for my last semester and needed a part time job. ‘I have some experience in a butcher shop’ I told them ‘or I can work the counter at a grocery store?’. Sally asked Jacob if he could show me around tomorrow and look for a job. She would handle registering me at school. I noticed it was silent for a while and Sally and Jacob looked at each other very seriously. They must be talking about me through their mindlink I though. I just turned 17 before moving to Crimson Moon pack. Living with my grandmother I was always fearful of turning 18, this would mean I would shift for the first
How will Jade escape Alpha Ivar now?
Elias’ pov I was set to leave at any moment, I just needed to say goodbye to everyone. We had celebrated Zoey’s birthday and she had shifted for the first time. Zoey and I would meet up every night to run together, she loved running along with me. Zane hated having to slow down for Zoey, but it was only temporary. We would leave soon anyway I told him. Liam got the highest grades of everyone, but for once he chose not to rub it in. I didn’t know if he was scared of me or my father, but I didn’t care either way. Guys like Liam didn’t matter when you had a future like mine to look forward to. I couldn’t wait to travel the world, of course I knew there would be struggles and hard times. But I have been at the same pack for 12 years, without ever setting a foot outside our grounds. And now I would be traveling on my own. I would have to figure out how I could afford everything though, usually the alpha got a percentage of the pack funds to support his family. But I had
Jade’s povThank the Goddess Alpha Ivar had work to do, so I was sent back down to Sally who gave me a concerned look. I told her I would explain everything tonight at dinner. I continued my work, trying to think of a plan. I had been avoiding telling Sally, but I think this was getting too much for me to handle on my own. When Sally and I walked home I broke down in tears, ‘Sally I’ve been so dumb’. We quickly walked home, scared of anyone hearing us and I explained. ‘Alpha Ivar has liked me for a while now and we secretly meet up during working hours. I don’t have any feeling for him, but he was kind to me and I liked being with him. But now he want me to stay a month longer and he got angry with me when I asked if I had a choice. I am scared he will want me to stay longer once this month is over. I have no power in this relationship, besides the lie I told about saving myself for my mate’. Sally gave me a hug ‘I knew
Jade’s pov I have no idea how long I’ve been in Alpha Ivar’s dungeon. It’s dark here most of the time and he wakes me up at different hours to question me. I don’t know if he wants me to tell the truth or lie, he seems to find pleasure in giving me pain. I try not to scream, because that makes Alpha Ivar worse. He wanted to know about my coven, the spells I am able to do and what my plans were at his pack. When he realized I could withstand his beatings Alpha Ivar started to threaten Sally. I could never allow him to hurt Sally, she had been there for me when no-one else was. At first I lied and pretended I could only do white magic, small things like healing spells or spells to hide my scent. But that wasn’t enough for Alpha Ivar, he wanted me to do more. Another prisoner joined the dungeon, Charlotte. She was a special wolves, with super strength and had lived in the Shadow pack for 12 years now. Alpha Soren had no issues with her, but apparently Alpha Ivar though
Elias’ povI have been traveling for month, but as promised I haven’t gone to any of the countries on Zoey’s wish list. It has been fun and challenging seeing all the different packs. Challenging because all the Alpha’s have to get used to having someone with a higher authority than them around. Some tried to challenge me, not physically but with their attitude. It doesn’t help that I am an 18 year old, barely graduated men with no further experience. I trust Zane to guide me through every obstacle and I let every pack know, I am not here to take over. I am just there to help and make sure everyone is treated fairly. My first visit with Alpha Leonardo was a really good start, he was so friendly and wise. I have asked him to be part of the jury and 2 other Alpha’s so far. I’ve also asked another Luna, Luna Rosali of the Fire Stone pack. She has been the Luna of one of the largest packs in the east coast and her pack resp
Jade’s pov The only spell that I knew fit Alpha Ivar description was the berserk spell. It would make Charlotte go on a rampage, destroying everything in her way. Alpha Ivar had said he would stop Charlotte, but she was incredibly strong. How would he do this? The spell would only last for a short while, but there was a lot of damage Charlotte could do in that time. I could try to make an antidote, but I had no guarantee Alpha Ivar would actually use it. But I had no other choice, I had to make the potion and I just hoped Alpha Ivar told the truth. Alpha Ivar got me out of my cell and brought me up to the kitchen where all my supplies were. No one else was around, to make sure none would know what I was doing. “Escape your mind, be free of this cage. You will find your inner rage. On a rampage you will go, there is no saying no. Let that fire within burn, berserk you will turn.” Alpha Ivar always looked at me with disgust while I performed my sp
Jade’s pov I was in so much pain, my whole body hurt and I just stayed lying on the floor. I didn’t pay attention to the other prisoner until she called me by the name Jade. I hadn’t told anyone about that name in this pack and when I turned to look who it was I saw Luna Amber, Elias’ mother. Of all the people to be stuck with in a cell! I stood up even though it hurt like hell and I bowed my head in respect and started to apologize. I had thought about Elias often, how could I had thought he was evil? I knew now what evil looked like and it was the face of Alpha Ivar. Luna Amber asked me how I thought we could escape and why Charlotte was in shock. I knew I had to tell the truth, but the guilt of partly being responsible for all this death was tearing me apart. My throat hurt from being squeezed so hard, but I walked closer to Luna Amber’s cell. I wanted her to see I wasn’t lying “Alpha Ivar asked me to perform a smell that would make Charlotte go berserk, he told
Elias’ pov I had not expected to see Jade in the dungeon, I didn’t even realize it was her at first. I just saw Charlotte lying on the floor in a puddle of blood and my mother looked hurt and I just snapped. I started beating Alpha Ivar and I don’t know if I would have stopped if it wasn’t for Jade touching me. As soon as her fingers hit my skin I felt tingles and her familiar voice snapped me right out of the moment. We hadn’t spoken since, we were sitting in the car together in total silence while Alpha Ivar was in the backseat, still knocked out. I kept looking over at Jade, I couldn’t believe how much she had changed in the last few months. She was so skinny, her face was beaten, her hear was short and she had marks and bruises over her arms and legs. Her wrist looked like it was broken, it was becoming really blue and thick. Jade looked out the window and I heard her sniffle. I have super hearing, so secretly crying in front of me is hard to do. “Just talk to h
Finley’s povI really didn’t want to go back to Crimson Moon pack, I had betrayed so many people there. I wouldn’t be welcome there at all. I knew it was my best bet if I wanted to heal my body quickly and properly though. Zeke was able to heal old wounds even those invisible to the eye. Things that could take months in the hospital would be days at the Crimson Moon pack.I slept in the airplane, still tired from my injuries. I kept having horrible nightmares about Alpha Ivar and the dungeon. I woke up and was surprised to find Elias holding my hand. “It seemed to calm you down,” he said. It reminded me off the time Elias had a panic attack in the car, I had done the same for him then. His touch still gave me sparks each time we touched, his touch was the exact opposite of the pain Alpha Ivar inflicted and for one small moment I felt free of the memory. Until the plane landed and I was back at the Crims
