“Tell me again.” Fraction growls from the other side of the cell bars. I’ve been down here for two days

now and I’ve told my story so many times I’ve actually forgotten who I’ve told it too. Gone is the

understanding Alpha who let me in the Pack all those years ago, gone is the man who gave me a

chance to put my medical knowledge to use and gone is the man who helped me raise two kids.

“I don’t know what more I can say,” I tell him from my spot on the dirty floor. There is nothing in the cell

with me beside a sink and a toilet, there was a bed in here with a thin mattress but James ripped it out

before Patrick put me inside. Almost like denying me any form of comfort brought him some kind of

closure. I can get the look of betrayal out of my mind, he was so hurt but he wouldn’t allow me to say a

single word to him. He’s not been back down to see me since the cell door was locked behind me.

“You’re forgetting something.” Fraction stands and puts his hands on the cell bars before shaking them

a little. “No escaping from here. I can keep someone down here until the day they die. Did anyone ever

tell you about Eve?” I shake my head no, I’ve never heard the name. “Hey, Eve. How long have you

been down here now?” He yells without taking his eyes off me.

“I don’t know, Alpha.” I hear a small female voice sound from just a few cells away.

“You remember what I said the last time I came down here?” he asks her without taking his eye from

me, his eyes are drilling into me like he’s physically trying to pull information from my mind.

“You said your son was almost four. Anna wasn’t even pregnant when I came down here,” my eyes

widen at what she said. If Anna was not even pregnant yet that means she’s been down here for five

years, maybe more.

“And has anyone come looking for you?” I’m starting to get his point. now, he could leave me down

here to rot and no one will care.

“No, Alpha.” Eve says around a whimper, the soft sound of crying and the creaking of a bed tells me

she’s done answering his questions.

“She just hurt my mate, actually she helped her brother rape her but you,” he chuckles a little. “You are

going to be the reason she dies. What do you think I’ll do to you? So…again.”

“After Faye and Theo turned up with Anna I helped lock her in the hunting cabin,” I ignore Fraction’s

growl and keep going with my story. “Theo started to get really mad and started talking about killing

Anna. I couldn’t let him kill her, she’s my friend so when they left I thought it would be safe to let Anna

go so she could run.” I gulp as I remember seeing Anna laid on the hunting cabin floor cover in blood

with her face beaten to a pulp. “Faye had hurt her badly but I know Anna’s wolf is strong so I unlocked

her and pointed her towards the border.” Fraction nods his head at me taking in every word I’m telling

him. “Faye came back just as Anna hit the tree line, she instantly knew what I’d done. She shifted into

her wolf and ran after her.”

“So Faye shifted after saying she wanted to kill Anna?” Fraction starts pacing in front of my cell.

“Yes, I’m surprised she stopped when beating on her. I suppose she needed Theo’s permission to kill

her.” I don’t hold anything back, there’s no point they already know everything or at least they have put

most of the dots together

“I need you to be clear here Leon, Faye wanted her dead? You’re sure?” I’m not sure why he keeps

asking me the same thing.

“Yes.” I say it as clearly as I possibly can so there is no mistaking what I’m saying. I’m starting to get a

headache from all the questions and the low lighting in here.

“Will you swear it under oath of the Moon Goddess?” This gives me pause, if I swore an oath then

Theo would find out and I would be worse than dead.

“I don’t think I can do that,” I say, shaking my head. I can see the anger come back to Fraction’s face in

the blink of an eye..

“He’ll swear it, won’t you Lover?” The wound of James’s voice sends a shiver down my spine, I don’t

have to answer him. He hows I’ll do anything he tells me to do, I watch as he steps out of the darkness

and stands next to Fraction. “He’ll do whatever you tell him to do.”

“James.” I call out, but the look of disgust on his face is enough to make me cast my eyes downwards.

Out of everyone he was the one person I was least looking forward to seeing and hoping I would see

all at the same time.

I’m so busy avoiding James’s eyes that I don’t realise Fraction has left. until I look up again. Suddenly

I’m sitting in a cell watching James glare at me from the otherside, I feel the tears start to pour from my

eyes as I feel the betrayal literally vibrating off him.

“Was it all a game?” James speaks so softly I barely hear him, “well?” he asks louder when I don’t

answer him. “Was it all some kind of big plan? Come in and seduce me to get close to the Alpha and

his Luna, so you could what? I can’t figure it out, I can’t figure out how you fit in with Faye’s family.”

“They are my family, she’s my cousin. My father is Theo’s brother, was

Theo’s brother.” I tell him truthfully, I’ve lied to him enough over the

years.

“So you helped get Faye closer to Fraction?” I nod my head at him, “what was the end game?”

“Faye was to become Luna and then once an Alpha Heir had been made Fraction was going to have

an accident and die.” I spill the family plan to him hoping it will earn me some good grace, “with the

Alpha Heir under age..”

“Theo would take the Alpha role. This was all to get Theo a Pack?” James interrupts me as he

understands what I’m saying, I nod my head at him, again trying to be as honest with him as possible.

“You realise Fraction will want you dead once this is all done? You have betrayed the Pack for years,

this isn’t just going to go away.” I can hear the pain in his voice as he tells me this, “the only chance you

have here is to do everything he tells you to do. I love you but I can’t save you from this Leon.”

“I love you too,” I whisper to his retreating back, alone in the dim. lighting I curl myself into a ball and

cry until I have nothing left. My chest hurts and my throat is sore by the time sleep comes.
