Chapter 17

Arya's POV

I couldn't sleep last night. Locking up Cara in that cold celler broke my heart. But I was afraid she'd run away. As soon as sun rises I run down there with a plate of freshly made breakfast. She must be starving. I enter the dark tunnels. Oh God! I let her stay here? I'm becoming a monster.

I open the celler. She's sleeping there in Jake's arms. They are hungry, chained like animals. And they're sleeping on cold floor. But they look so peaceful. Like they're the happiest. I don't remember if I ever felt that kind of happiness before. We both lost our mother when we were young. We had the same fate. None of our father cared about us. We were on the same boat. But look at us now. She's so happy it looks like she's glowing. Me on the other hand I look sad and miserable.

The only difference is I choose the wrong side. I choose to go with Joshua. She choose Jake. I always thought Jake was a disappointment. Looks like he's the true king. I have everything but I can't make my woman happy. He can. Sleeping in a dirty, dark celler he can still make her happy. Make her feel safe. Turns out I'm the real looser.

"Cara I brought you breakfast."

"Don't wake her up. She didn't have enough sleep," Jake whispers.

"She didn't eat anything".

"Leave it here. I will give it to her when she wakes up."

"But....."

"Arya I know you hate me and don't trust me. Remember that she's my daughter. I'm not her biological father but I love her more than anyone."

"Ok I'm leaving it here. Make sure she eats a lot."

I put the tray on the floor then lock the celler and leave. I still have a lot of works to do. I killed a pack's alpha yesterday. This means war. They will attack soon. I can't let this ruin our wedding. I walk to our secret cell. This is where we do our dirty works done. I can hear the prisoners scream from far.

"Keep it down Blake. No one should know we kept him hidden here."

Blake my betta seems like a sweet guy at first look. But if you really get to know him you will know what kind of animal he is. He likes to torture and rape the prisoners. He has his own methods of torturing that'll disgust anyone. Looking at Reinhart I can understand Blake has experimented all the madness on him. His left eye has been plucked out, nails pulled out, ribs broken, face destroyed. I even see hundreds of needles stabbed all over his body. He will never heal completely after this.

Blake doesn't only destroy the victims body. He destroys their soul too. After this the prisoners either die or live in trauma.

Honestly I hate Reinhart but I could never do this to him. I actually feel pity looking at his condition.

"Don't overdo it. We need him alive. He can be used as a hostage in war."

"Understood."

"Go cleaned up. You're cooking for the Luna."

"Luna? Diane came back?"

"How many times I have to tell you don't mention that woman's name in front of me."

"I'm sorry alpha."

"Remember Cara will be the Luna."

"Yes alpha."

"And don't you dare mention that woman's name to Cara ever. Warn everyone else. Whoever spills a word about that woman, his limbs will be torn apart."
