Chapter III

She remembered how cold it had got in that cell, and how it had felt like days, that she was left there, with only a few scraps of food from time to time.

She thought about when the Alpha finally came to see her. Furthermore, she could feel his aura as he opened the door. It was strong, and rolled off him in waves of heat. She could tell he was strong, and just from feeling his presence, she knew his pack must be large and very powerful. He stared at her for a while before speaking.

She could have stared back, as the daughter of an Alpha, she was strong enough that she could have fought his commanding presence for at least a few moments if she had tried, but remembering what Binna had told her, she opted to play the part of an Omega, not knowing what they would do to her if they found out who she really was. So she bent her head down in submission as soon as he came close to her cell.

"We may have a place for you" he finally said.

"We've recently had a vacancy in our kitchen staff, so we're in need of another Omega to fill the spot. We won't be inviting you into the pack, but I think we're going to keep you unless you prove to be useless, in which case we'll probably just kill you. Your Silver Valley Pack is in such disarray, nobody is going to be looking for you, so don't place any hope on a rescue. But if you do your job, we'll feed you, and you won't turn into a pack-less Rogue. I'm Namjoon, but you will address me as Alpha."

"OK" was all she was able to say.

She wanted desperately to leave, but she knew that escape from this cell was unlikely, and rescue was also

unlikely, so it seemed her best option would be to play the part of Omega, do what was asked of her, and wait for an opportunity to escape.

The jailer, who had been the one to provide the occasional meal, came and opened her cell, and put a cuff on her arm, causing her to immediately wince and snarl. It wasn't silver, so it didn't burn, but she could feel that something was wrong.

"That's wolves bane" the Alpha said to her.

"It has been integrated into your arm cuff to keep you docile and pliable. You won't be able to shift while it's on. It's just one of the ways we keep our ladies in line"

He chuckled to himself, obviously amused at the power he seemed to enjoy having over her and apparently other females within his pack. She was then moved into the Omega housing, where she was assigned a small corner of the room. She was given what had once been a mattress, two sets of clothes, and one pair of shoes.

They never asked her name, and she never offered it to them. Instead, they took her to a building adjacent to her assigned housing and pinned her down to a Gurney, where they then carved the number 5 into her wrist, with a silver blade.

Werewolves heal so quickly, they rarely have scars. But if they are cut with silver, and it isn't treated properly, they will have scars that can stay for years before finally healing over. So with the wolf's bane cuff on her arm, the scar would remain visible indefinitely.
