Chapter 16

Cara's POV

I was sitting in the kitchen waiting for Rain to finish making his special seafood dish. Arya and my dad's bodyguards barged in.

"Get that freak!!" He points at Rain.

All of them gangs up on Rain. He tries to fight back. Then one of them shots them with wolfsbane. I recognize that. Dad gives me those shots every 24 hours to make me weak.

"What are you doing?"

"Get behind me Cara. He's our enemy."

"No he's not. He's my friend."

"He's not your friend. He and his father was planning to attack our pack. His father has been executed."

"Cara I have no idea what he's talking about. Believe me!! Please!"

"I believe you. Arya please let him go."

"Not happening. We have to execute him too."

"No you can't. You will just start another war."

"Sweetheart you don't have to be afraid. I'm the alpha now. I will take care of everything."

"No!! I won't let you take him."

"Why are you defending him? Did you fall in love with him? Is he better than me?"

"You're wrong. He's my friend."

"Don't lie to me. I saw you with him."

"What? I can't be with my friends? You're worse than my dad."

"No more talk. Someone catch her and lock her up."

They lock me up in the celler with uncle Jake. Damn it! If only I could use my power.

"Uncle Jake what do we do now? We're stuck here forever."

"Everything will be alright."

"Nothing will be alright. Arya's worse than my dad."

"Power really changes people. One of the reasons I quit was this."

"Why can't they just let us go. We never wanted to be a part of this anyways."

"I don't know baby. I don't know. Come here let me sing you a song. It'll help you sleep. We'll think about this tomorrow."

I lay down on his chest. In this cold celler, tied up with cold chains I still feel warmth in his arms. He starts singing in another language. I know this song. It's a sad song. A woman singing waiting for her beloved by the sea. Her beloved is a sailor. He hasn't come back home for 7 years. Soon I fall asleep.......
