"So," I asked as I checked out my surroundings, breaking the unnerving silence, "How's everyone doing?"
Maybe asking the Alphas you're chained up with how their doing wasn't smart, but what else did I really have to say. I'd been awake for what seemed like an eternity and the stark silence was killing me. I needed something, even if it was talking with three men who probably didn't want to talk back.
"Bringing a female into this now. What," the Alpha farthest away sneered, "Here to seduce us for your boss?"
"I would rather shoot myself." I hissed back. Good for nothing male alpha's! Do they seriously think that's all females are good for?
"It's nice to hear your voice, Cara." The second man was just a tad bit too familiar. Thinking of his pregnant mate made my stomach quiver.
"I'm sorry, Michael. This can't be easy for you."
"Is she okay?"
"There are others looking out for her for you. Eloise drops by as much as possible to check up on her."
"Thank god." He whispered making my heart squeeze. How could someone do this to him?
"So how's it going with your brother? Still believe he killed Trent?" Gaven laughed dryly.
"Do you really even care if I do or not?"
"Not really, but it was still always funny to hear about the drama between the two of you. Kept life interesting for me..."
"Maybe if you would just mind your own buisness-"
"And yet he never will," his cousin Fredrick suddenly cut in. From the sound of his voice, he was the closest to me. "Gaven has nothing better to do then live in the drama of other Alpha's. How can he do anything else when his own pack doesn't respect him as their leader?"
"Go piss off, Fred!"
"Do something about-" a door slammed into a wall bringing the argument to a halt. From a distance a slow clap began until it seemed like it was directly in front of me. I stayed still, my breaths slow and even waiting for what would happen next. When the clapping stopped, the person began talking.
"Lovely to see you all awake. The change in chatter is quite entertaining. How are you feeling princess?" He asked as he finally drew close enough for his presence to be noticed. The darkness kept his features hidden, smart on his part.
"Come closer," I grinned in the darkness, "And let me show you."
"Ha," he laughed too loudly, "I'm not stupid enough to do that darling."
"Shame..."
"Are you hungry at all?"
"Go screw yourself in a corner-" the sudden sound of skin on skin filled the room causing the place to fall in an ice cold silence. My head spun for only a moment and then I snapped. I struggled against the chains, my arms screaming as I pulled them almost completely out of their sockets. Fear filled the room, and I knew in that moment, who ever had taken me had no clue what would happen if you pushed a female to far.
"Dinner will be ready soon. Tell this mutt the rules." Our kidnapped walked away without another word. It wasn't until the sound of his retreating feet had vanished that my wolf retreaded back into the corner she belonged.
"Cara..." It was Michael. My ears quickly caught the heart beat within his chest. He was scared; all three were scared.
"Just say the stupid rules." I snapped.
"Alright. He doesn't like talking during dinner. The only time you can say anything is when he speaks to you first. There are people here who feed us; they have us strapped down at the table. You have to eat all of your food or else you don't get to eat the next meal. Also he doesn't like when we talk back to him. It best to just keep quiet and when he does speak to you, keep your answers short and respectful. As long as you do that, he'll keep his hands off you."
"You guys," my chuckle turned cold, "You're pathetic."
"Excuse me-"
"Three Alpha's being held captive by one man. How weak are you three?" I wasn't trying to sound so mean, but being chained up like a wild animal was driving my wolf crazy, and her emotions were easily affecting my own.
"Then please Alpha Cara, escape why don't you?"
"Oh I will," I growled, "And when I do I'll rip that mangy dogs head off and shove it on a stick outside his house."

The dog came back about an hour later. He had five other wolves with him. Michael was the first to go, followed by Gaven, and then Fredrick. I was the last. With one in front of me and one behind, my chains were removed from the wall and clipped to their belts. I wait till my first step, and then pulled.
The guy on my right came first. I swung hard, my fist connecting with his chin with a sickening crack. The wolf on my left dogged my first attack but wasn't able to stop my knee from slamming into his gut. I turned back towards the right but something pricked my neck and darkness swarmed my mind before I was able to get my chains wrapped around his neck.
When I came too Michael was staring at me with worried eyes. He was mouthing something but my attention was stolen by the chuckle at the other end of what I realized was a table. My wolf surfaced and I lunged forward. Leather straps wrapped around silver snapped me back to the chair and pain erupted in my side.
"Oh please be careful my dear," he cooed as he leaned into the light, "I may have accidentally broken a rib or two on the way here." He wasn't what I expected. I was ready to see some razor sharp teeth, a missing eye, or even some scared skin, but the man wasn't exactly bad looking. His dark blonde hair was a wild mess chopped right above his eyes. He had a round face with a pointed nose right about his straight white teeth. What got me most was the color of his eyes. It looked as if there was no color at all.
"Piss of!" I growled inhumanly. The sound made his onyx eyes twinkle, his chair squeaking as he suddenly stood up from the table.
"Did your fellow inmates not give you my rules, my little dove?"
"How about you release me and we talk about this like men?" I asked as he creeped closer.
"And what would be the fun in that?" He chuckled. "Besides, I kind of like seeing you all tied up."
"Let me go!" I snapped at him as he drew close to my face.
"You really don't follow rules, do you? I know they told you them."
"I'd rather have a hybrid eat me alive, then follow your stupid rules!" He froze.
I thought maybe somehow my words had gotten under his skin but instead they made his eyes twinkle with deadly accusation, his lips curling into something wicked. There's no way... my heart stopped.
"Oh my sweet little bird...I wonder, how do you think all your little Alpha buddies will feel," he hissed, his hot, rancid breath whispering across the back of my neck causing my stomach to sink, "When they discover the dark secret you've been hiding? Do you think they'll respect you still? Do you think that little mate of yours," His fingers slid across the spot on my neck where Tiberius's mark would go, "will still want you?" At the thought of the dog marking me instead of Tiberius, my wolf went crazy.
My body jerked at the restrained that held me down, the smell of burning flesh filling the room as the silver began to cut into my wrists, "Go to hell." We snapped as my whole body began to go numb.
"Can't you see princess," he came closer, his lips practically pressed against the skin on my cheek, "You're already there."
"You know," I hissed through gritted teeth, "I think I've lost my appetite. I'd much rather hang back in the cellar."
"I could have that arranged," he laughed before suddenly pulling away, "But I'm tired of having three ugly men to look at. A beautiful face like your own is a nice change."
"Well take a good look at it, because this face is going to be the last one you see."
"I'd like that." It was the last thing he said. I made more rude comments but this time he chose to ignore me.
When my plate arrived along with my server I refused to eat. They tried forcing the food into my mouth but when one accident moved to close I bit her wrist and removed a good chunk of her skin. Her screams filled the room. I tried to bite her a second time but it seemed the wolf at the end of the table had enough.
With his face set in a permanent scowl, he removed me from my leather straps and escorted me back to my chambers. The moment I was back in my shackles, his palm connected to my cheek leaving the room filled in a dark silence. The moment the door closed letting me know of his departure I started laughing like a mad woman. My laughter quickly turned twisted and everything went dark.
