Lily… Lily you have to wake up" My eyes shot open at once.
It was Ana's voice.
Looking around the seemingly dark room, I realized that someone was sitting on a chair in front of me.
I couldn't see the face, just the stature of the person that sat on the seat.
Turning his/ her head towards me, I saw the eyes open, blue eyes, Ariona's eyes.
"Only you can seek justice for the both of us, Lily" she said, her voice fading like the wind.
My eyes flicked open to the bright sunrays that moved against my skin. Kindling a sudden strength inside me. My eyes darted to the side, the rays were coming from the huge windows that fastened to the walls of the building.
There were huge barrels of water in front of me, obviously to wake me up. It made me remember the sea.
A thought came to my mind and I remembered the dream I had.
I couldn't tell how Ariona knew my name, maybe because I'm in her body, or yesterday's experience.
She talked about justice for the both of us. I'm not a fan of seeing dead people in my dreams and all, seeing the dead in your dreams could mean a lot of things at the same time.
I am only getting justice for her, not the both of us. I had sacrificed my life for Damon's.
I could feel my wolf build up within me, although she was kind of weak like I am but it was so good that I could feel her. I could still feel the wounds that were inflicted on me yesterday .
The iron bars were unlocked and the Old Alpha Cassio walked in without the witch this time. His eyes held me in the scrutiny of his gaze as he made their way across the room to where I was.
He had a skeptical look on his face.
"I'm going to have to keep you longer than expected, " he began.
"You and Ariona refused to help me so it's best I do it myself" he said as I inhaled.
'What was he going to do?'
"Since I can't have my heir back, out won't have your life back"
"What?" Is he serious right now, this Old Alpha Cassio is crazy.
"You heard me right," he said, holding my chin, forcing me to look at him.
"I will find out who you are even if it means to go to the ends of the earth" he said.
I clenched my fists trying to hold back the rage that was brewing inside of me.
"When I find who or what you are, I will destroy everything you love and leave you to suffer for it" He said in a menacing tone.
'How dare you, old man'
My facial features twisted with fury, my hands balled, almost trying to let Ana out but I was still chained.
"There's no need of fighting it, Ariona or whoever you are"
A placid smile appeared on my face causing the Old Alpha's gaze to darken more.
"Even if you find out who I am… how sure are you that I will have any family members that you can destroy"
"Let the sleeping dogs lie, don't wake them up, old man"
He guffawed like a lunatic, his chestnut coloured hair scattering into different directions.
I closed my eyes, he would only make a fool out of his miserable life not mine.
I felt him inch closer, my eyes opened to witness him going to my arm, opening the palm of my hand where the witch had sliced a couple of times.
Which was healing slowly because of the chains.
Taking out a knife from his clothes, he gave a smirk as he slashed the knife against my flesh causing the wounds that were lacing back together to open up again.
I winced at the pain, "What are you doing?" I grimaced.
"Opening old wounds" he laughed hysterically.
He left my arms as he threw me a cold glare.
"I told you that I will find out whoever you are" he said, his bloodshot eyes watching mine. I sipped in the air, the pain was excruciating.
"Bring her in here" he ordered.
The iron bars opened as the guards dragged someone into the room with them.
I looked up to see the face;
It was Eve, her eyes were red probably from crying and face looked puffed like she was punched a few times.
'How could they hit a lady' my gaze darkened, rage clouding my eyes but it all vanished when Eve opened her mouth.
She told them the secret we had shared the first day that we arrived here.
"She's… from… f-from… Wildfire pack" she stuttered her hands shaking in fear, her lips quivering. She looked at me with pleasing as if saying the word "forgive me"
The Old Alpha smirked, "You are from Wildfire pack" he repeated, smiling that it reached his eyes.
"Is that why you could entertain my guests so well?" He asked as he walked towards me and grabbed my chin.
"Were you and my guest so close before you died?"
I didn't utter a word.
"Answer me, did you and Alpha Damon know each other well before you died?" he asked again.
"You requested that I should entertain your guests… I was only doing my job, Old Alpha Cassio" I retorted.
His lips moved up into a scowl; "That could be true," he said.
He turned back to the guards and then to Eve, "Do what you are meant to do" he told her.
She stood rooted to the spot but the guards nudged her forward, her hands shook, her steps faltering as she made unsteady steps towards the Old Alpha. That's when I realized that the Old man had the little knife in his hand.
Eve took the knife from him but stood there not making an attempt to come closer. The Old man pushed her forward.
"Do what we agreed on," he told her.
"Unless…"
She moved her feet coming close to where I stood, with shaky hands.
'Seems the Old Alpha Cassio had threatened her'
She got to my side, leaning in to whisper in my ear, her voice sounded distant,
"I'm sorry" she apologized, her voice waving.
I couldn't look down at the knife she was holding but I felt it shaking immensely in her hands as it brushed against my side.
She pushed the metal into my skin and pulled it out immediately, not letting it get deep, I growled, I felt my body grow weaker with the pain seeping into my body.
"Good job," the Old Alpha said.
Eve threw the knife to the Old Alpha and ran out of the room and the guards followed after her.
I tried to stop the profuse bleeding but my hands were chained and the blood kept spilling. I was getting weak faster than I had expected, with my arms in these chains and the blood that kept dripping. I might not be able to hold on.
The Old Alpha walked out of the room leaving me in gut wrenching pain.
"Make sure she doesn't die" I heard the Old Alpha say.
"Tomorrow is another day" he added and I heard the sound of footsteps walking into the room.
I couldn't see the figures, I couldn't keep my eyes open, they involuntarily closed.
****
I stirred in my sleep, I felt a hand touch my abdomen and I grabbed the hand.
"How dare you?" I asked with my eyes still closed.
"I dare unless you don't to be alive" It was Wolf's voice.
My eyes opened to see Eve, the maids and Wolf.
"What are you guys doing? " I asked as I tried to stand up, but the pain shot to my brain causing me to fall back on the bed.
"Don't exert yourself," Wolf said, his expression candid.
"Am so glad you're awake… am sorry… am so sorry" Eve kept repeating nonstop.
"There's no need to worry," I told her.
It wasn't her fault afterall. It was the Old Alpha that was to blame.
"Please forgive…I"
I tried to get up again but they nudged me back to the bed.
"Don't bother moving about," Wolf scolded.
Was this him or my eyes were deceiving me.
'When did he become so different' I was starting to doubt what I was seeing.
Then one of the maids spoke up,
"We have arrived for your escape"
"Escape?" My eyes widened. I instinctively looked at Wolf and he nodded.
'Was he going to disregard his loyalty to his master'
"Don't worry about Wolf… he agreed to it," Eve said.
'Seriously'
"My Boss will just keep tormenting you and if you become so useless to him, he will kill you so there's no use of you staying" he voiced.
'Is this some kind of a trap'
"It's not a trap" he said as if reading my mind.
"We will escape tonight," Eve said.
"And it's not gonna be easy."
