CHAPTER 4
1103 Words
SELENE'S POV. The cold touch of the metallic surface beneath me offers no comfort. My limbs felt so heavy, and my senses dulled by the numbing effects from Alpha Dam. My heart was heavy with the burden of secrets. The room dimly lit revealed the presence of the doctor, his probing eyes fixed on me. The door creaked open and Alpha Dam entered. “How is she, Doctor?" Alpha Dam inquired, his voice devoid of any genuine concern. The doctor glanced at me with clinical equipment. “Physically she is stable, Alpha. The numbing seems to have taken its toll, but she is fine.” Alpha Dam’s eyes locked with mine, his false display of concern was obvious. “Good, we will keep her that way till the time is right,” he said. A threatening grin played on his lips. The pack doctor continued with his examination. “Is there any other thing that needs to be done to keep her like this for a longer time,” Alpha Dam asked in confirmation. "Nothing really but the way her veins are responding to life so quickly is so strange compared to that of an omega,” the doctor replied. Alpha Dam came very close to me and thought for a second. “I guess, maybe because her father used to be an Alpha, she should have some trace of Alpha blood in her. I think that's why her veins are responding so quickly like you said.” He said softly. “So what do you suggest we do?” Alpha Dam added, searching for answers from the doctor. “Since the power charm you used on her is almost expiring in her systems, I might get some wolfbane to make her veins weaker, so she won't have to regain consciousness till your plans are accomplished.” Amid the conversation, I yearned for release from this enforced slumber. Alpha Dam’s hidden motives unfolded through their conversation, each word twisting the knife in my heart. “Thank you, you can go now,” Alpha Dam commanded the doctor, his tone betraying the malice beneath. With a reluctant nod, the doctor excused himself, “It's fine, Alpha. I will have to go and prepare my daughter for the awakening ceremony at the full moon; she will be turning eighteen.” He explained. Alone in the room with Alpha Dam, his true nature came into view. His gaze hung on me, and the air grew thick with unspoken tension. I remained silent, my eyes fixed on distant points. He came very close to me, his fingers tracing an invisible pattern on my thighs and treating my motionless body like a possession. “Selene,” his voice trickled with false warmth. “I will set you free, but for now, you will be enjoyed like a s*x slave.” His touch violated me, a reminder of the two months I had endured as his captive. I was nothing more than an object for his desires and pleasure right there in the room. A sense of dread enveloped me as his words hung in the air, a chilling reminder of my powerless existence. After the repulsive act, Alpha Dam left me alone in the secret room in the realm of the awakening ceremony that was ongoing. The rhythmic incantations reverberated throughout the dark corridors during the ceremony. As I lay there in silent despair, the distant sounds filled the air and reached my ears. A connection was made between the supernatural forces at work and my dormant consciousness in that realistic sound. The incantations awakened the sleeping wolf within me by reaching into the depths of my being. As the sound from the ceremony increased , so did the awakening of my wolf consciousness. In that short moment, I rose above the numbness that bound me. The memories of the eavesdropped conversation between Alpha Dam and his father flooded my senses. The revelation of my father’s death, all planned out by them, ignited a flame of newfound strength within me. The realization hit me like a sudden storm. I knew the time had come to break free from their cage because the pack seemed more like a prison and was no longer a safe place for me. Gathering strength, I rose quickly from the metallic surface. A decision was made in my mind-I could no longer remain in the pack infected by betrayal and lies. "Find your way and escape as fast as you can," I could hear my inner wolf speak to me. I hurriedly went to the door to open it. It was locked. “Oh damn! But why?” I said to my inner wolf, but no answer came immediately. I heard some light footsteps that were coming closer from outside. I stood still for a while until the footsteps went far from my hearing. "I think the windows ain't locked," my inner wolf spoke again for the second time. I looked and saw the closed windows at the corner of the room. I tried to force the window open but to my surprise, it opened before I could apply much force. I quietly sighed in relief because maybe they had forgotten to lock it. So I carefully opened it so as not to make too much sound. I dashed through the windows of the secret room. I walked cautiously through the dim corridors because the outside noise was so loud you could barely hear my barefoot steps. I took advantage of the opportunity in the chaos because the ceremony served as the ideal cover for my escape. I left behind the confines of my prison as I sneaked off in the dark, unnoticed. As I moved through the shadows to avoid detection, the environment of the pack house whispered promises of freedom. My eyes have glowed in the dark since I was out of the awakening ceremony’s sight, I can freely use my glowing eyes. I mean, all wolves' eyes can glow, but mine has a distinct glow, especially when I am in a haste to do something. I could see clearly as it was during the day. I ran through the forest with each step reflecting a silent vow. I pledged to return and reclaim what was rightfully mine. The moonlit night witnessed my escape, breaking free from the chains of captivity, powered by a journey to interfere with the shadows that bound me. The journey ahead was uncertain but the fire within was a vow that echoed in my heart which still burned bright- a promise chased in the shades of destiny.
