This time when I woke up I was laying on a cold concrete floor. I found a wall and slowly sat up and leaned against it. The pain was slightly better than before. I looked around and saw that I was in a cell, the smell around me was horrible.
It smelled like mold, blood, and waste. I wanted to puke because it smelled really bad. I heard footsteps coming downstairs and I closed my eyes to focus on who was coming. Once the footsteps stopped in front of my cell I smelled who it was and it was Liam. I didn't open my eyes and I asked, "What do you want Liam?" I heard the cell door open and close and that's when I opened my eyes.
I saw Liam standing inside the cell with a tray of food and medical supplies. "I came to give you some food and patch your wound. Can you please lay down and lift up your shirt?" He asked. I looked him in his eyes and found that they held worry and kindness.
I stood up and took off my shirt, thankfully I still had my sports bra on. I walked over to the disgusting bed and laid down on my stomach. He walked over to me and took the old bandage off. "Why do you have so many scares?"
I took a deep breath and explained, "I might be an alpha, but my old pack and family believed I was a weak link. They tortured me, abused me, starved me, and burned me. Anything that they could think about doing to me they did. After my parents died the Beta was moved to alpha. While I was the actual alpha, everyone listened to him and not me. So when I was able to shift I ran away. My wolf and I learned how to fight and protect ourselves. We improved on our skills as the time went by. We can pinpoint where the enemy is only if we listen for them. We can sneak up on people if we have to. I ended up becoming an assassin and learned more about stealth. Little did I know my old pack hired rogues and hunters to take me down. That's why your pack got attacked. They were looking for me. I hid my scent and my power to keep me safe. That's why you guys didn't sense me until your rounds and you didn't know about me being an alpha till I commanded you."
"That's sad I'm sorry you had to go through that. I'm sorry I forgot to ask you your name." he sounded very sincere. "My name is Lily. My past is in the past. My past was horrible, but it shaped me into a really good assassin that I have become and I'm thankful for that." "All done, thank you for telling me that. If you were pondering if I'm the beta of this pack, yes I am." I smiled at him and said, "Thanks for changing my bandage."
"Well that was a touching story. But why would a pack turn on their alpha like that?" The alpha asked. I stood up and showed him my back. Then after I was sure he looked at it I turned around and showed him my front. My scars were from being burned, to being sliced with a silver knife (silver burns werewolves) and I was beaten.
"I don't know, maybe you should go and ask the Dark claw pack that!" I yelled back. I put my shirt back on and Liam walked out of the cell. Me on the other hand had to stay inside the cell. The door closed and I couldn't help it but I ended up rolling my eyes at them.
"Wait, Dark claw pack was your pack? Rumor has it that the alpha's child was too weak to take over the role and they gave it to the beta." The alpha said. I couldn't hold back my growl, because my old pack made a dumb rumor to cover up the deal that the alpha made with the beta.
I turned around so that my back was facing them and moved my hair away from my neck to show my mark. True alpha marks are given to the first born that will become the next alpha of the pack. My mark was a paw print on the back of the neck. I heard Liam say, "The mark of a true alpha."
I let my hair down and moved my shirt up a little bit to show my burned mark that the beta gave me. "The new alpha took a hot iron rod and marked me as a slave to the pack. He made sure that everyone listened to him." I then pulled down the collar of my shirt to show the other mark. This mark said, 'worthless'. "My father carved this with a silver knife, while he carved it he said, 'your not fit to be alpha. You are a dumb useless girl. The only thing you would be good at is being a slave and to have children for the next alpha. More and likely will be the beta.' After they died the beta decided to have fun with me. Everyday until I escaped. Needless to say the small amounts of wolfsbane he gave me I couldn't get pregnant and I was becoming immune to it."
After recounting everything that I went through I couldn't take it anymore. I ended up sinking to the floor on my knees crying. I was so caught up in crying I didn't hear the cell door open or the alpha walking in, until he pulled me to his chest. "I'm sorry for treating you like a rogue. I didn't see the alpha mark on you or your wolf. My name is Calvin." he was talking softly in my ear. "I hid my scent, my power, and my mark because if anyone knew I was a female alpha without a pack they would try to claim me." I said once I got my crying under control. I don't know why but I felt extremely tired. I ended up closing my eyes and fell asleep in Calvins arms.
