Chapter 12
As I trudged back to my cell, head down and shoulders slumped, the guards sneered at me, their expressions filled with contempt
“Did the alpha tire of his toy already?” one of them jeered, and the other laughed.
My fingers clenched into fists at my sides, but I couldn’t allow myself to react. Not here, not now. I was too week for whatever fight they wanted to start and they would get say with hitting me here..
When I thought of it, they would probably get away with hitting me anywhere too. I needed to approach this with a much more sensible way.
Walking past them and into my cell was the best idea that I could think of and it was a plan that was already in motion until I heard the next words from their mouths.
“Looks like delaying her this morning earned her a few strokes. Em so glad we did. They said, loud enough for me to hear without any fear or remorse. Like they wanted me to hear.
How could they? My mind trailed back to the pain that I had to endure because someone had emptied a bucket of water over my head. The ache that I was feeling now was because of them and they were heading about it k**e it was some sort of sick joke? What the actual f***k was going through their heads! I was hurt. I was so hurt that I didn’t even realize that I started to cry until they pointed that out too.
I wiped the tears off my face and stared at them with a stinging heart. I didn’t get it. I didn’t get why they hated me so much I was the one that light to be mad. I was the one that was locked up in a land that I’d never been before with my unborn child and yet they hated me for being the victim?
What was it that I had done that had offended them so much that they wanted nothing but evil for me?
“Why do you hate me so much?” I whispered, my voice barely audible. “What did I ever do to you?”
The guards exchanged a glance, their grins widening. “You don’t belong here,” the larger one growled. “And deserve to ask us such silly questions either, you’re nothing but a f***g slave.”
you don’t
“You both know that I’m not here on my own free will. Why I’m here is not even important. What have I done the me the way you do? You both go out of your way to make sure that I suffer as If I’ve offended you personally. You don’t treat you treat the other s**s like that, why is it me that you put through so much agony?” I was sad and pouring out my heart and tears but they laughed!
They f***g laughed! I didn’t blame them, I was quite the laughing stock now. I looked laughable. They didn’t have to worry about me. I’d done nothing for them to care about me
I couldn’t take it anymore. I turned my back on them, my body heaving with sobs as I stumbled blindly into my cell, the door slamming shut behind me with a resounding thud. My knees gave out, and I sank to the ground, tears streaming down my face as I cried out all the pain, anger, and helplessness that had been boiling inside me.
“Why me?” I whispered into the darkness, my voice h**e and broken. “What did I ever do to deserve this?”
I didn’t understand their hatred, the joy they found in my suffering.
The rest of the day passed in a blur of tears and confusion. I stayed curled up on the floor, my eyes fixed on the barred window above me, watching as the sun climbed higher in the sky and then sank again, casting its crimson rays across the walls of my cell
As the moon rose and the night fell, I heard the guards approach my cell again. This time, they were not laughing-
“You’re to clean the park house in the garden tomorrow,” the larger guard said, his voice low and gravelly. “You’re to be there

at noon, understand?”
I nodded, my voice caught in my throat. I didn’t trust myself to speak, not when my heart was so heavy with pain. The guards left, and I was once again alone in the darkness of my cell, haunted by the spectre of a new day, filled with more pain, more humiliation.
But then, in the depths of my despair, a spark of hope flickered.
The garden, they’d said. The garden was outside the walls of the pack house, surrounded by trees and bushes, a big a*** complicated maze too. If I could escape, I would have a chance.
The thought of escape filled me with both fear and exhilaration. Could I really do it? I was weak and malnourished, barely able to walk without pain. But the wolf within me stirred, its strength giving me courage.
I thought that I was going to go to sleep on an empty stomach again but the gate of the cell clanked open and a maid walked in. As usual she had a scowl on her face but I didn’t mind it this time because she also had a plate in her hand.

She pur
down the food in front of me and I started to devour it right away without even looking up at her or telling her thanks. I downed the entire thing.
I was grateful that I got to feed my baby again today. I didn’t know the next time we were going to be given food again so I was grateful.
I tried to sleep but the thought of escaping was the only thing on my mind that I couldn’t even think straight. It was too much of a risk to take but I had a feeling that if I tried hard enough or if I had the right plan that I would escape.
Jalmost escaped the first time so it was possible. If only I hadn’t fainted, I would have been a free woman. I would have gotten my baby and I out of this goddamn pack. I had eaten now, I was fairly strong enough if I managed to rest well, I could escape. I could do it. If I could figure out the maze then I could escape.
Or maybe I didn’t need to figure out the maze, I could just cut though the bushes and not look back.
I fell asleep with a million thoughts whirling through my brain like an engine working overtime so it was safe to say that I barely even slept. I woke up earlier than I needed to and I couldn’t fall back asleep. I just stared around the cell.
Today, I told myself, today would be the day 1 escape,
The door clanked open, the same maid from yesterday standing in the doorway, her face a mask of disinterest.
“The Alpha has ordered you to clean the pack house in the garden,” she said, her voice flat. “You will start at once.” She ordered and if I wasn’t already looking forward to it, I would have been pi***d.
1 trooped behind her obediently looking around and telling myself that it was the last time that I was going to see the pack ever again but I wasn’t even sure. I was willing to take risks but it was to a certain amount. I couldn’t afford to risk the life of my baby because I wanted to escape.
I walked into the garden and I was surprised to see my plane already ruined before it even got in motion-There were guards stationed around the garden all staring at me like they would shoot if I tried anything funny.
There was so much to do and I didn’t even know how to use half the gardening tools that they placed in front of me and she didn’t look like she was willing to explain either. She dumped the whole thing in front of me and left. I was going to figure it out eventually. I was also going to figure out how to get past these guards because who knows the next time that I was going to be able to get a chance like this again?
I started by raking the leaves first and I wasn’t even halfway through when I noticed someone walking towards me. He looked familiar, I couldn’t make out his face until he was a few steps closer.
He was one of the alphas that was there when Aston chose to make a laughing stock out of me and make me serve the men naked.
