I lay back on my single bed taking deep breaths, calming and recollecting myself. I’ve already let them see enough emotions, I need to be strong, I HAVE to be strong. What other choice do I have.
I’ve prayed so many times to the Moon Goddess in the past, but I gave up on that when I realised that she had abandoned me, when I felt like she had damned me and my life. I’m not one to feel sorry for myself but for goddess sake why did we have to go through all of this? What had my family done that was so bad to receive such punishment. What did I do? Is this some sort of karma? Perhaps I’ll never know the answer.
I’ve left behind my life, my children, my family and my pack. I question myself over and over again about my decision then I remind myself over and over again even more of why I made the choice to come here, to save them from any further pain. Yet I know that I have caused pain in their hearts, I can only hope that one day they could forgive me.
I dream of days when all of this is over and we can live happily. All I want is to be with my family, including Kyron. Though our times together have been short, I can’t deny the feelings I have towards him. I’ll forever be sorry for what I did to him, maybe if I told him the truth he could’ve helped me. But it would have been selfish of me to drag him into my mess.
Out of all the people I love I think about my son the most, Reign. He must think I’m such a horrible mother, he probably hates me, I don’t think he’s ever going to forgive me. But because of me he’s already been through enough, he’s seen far too much than any child should ever have to see. I wish I could have been the mother that he deserves. He deserves so much more than what I’ve given to him. If he ever accepts me back into his life I swear I will do my absolute best to make up for this lost time, to make up for everything I’ve put him through. I think back to when times were good. Watching him reach all of his first milestones, now I’m going to miss out on more milestones and watching him grow. He unknowingly put back the pieces of my heart and look how I’ve repaid him.
Tears stream down my face as I think about my oldest son. Sleep starts to take over me with the words repeating in my head
“Baby Reign, I love you.”

I’m woken by a strange sound. Looking towards that sound I see a guard putting a food tray through an opening on the door. I sit up as reality hits me, this is my life now. Confined to this room for who knows how long and for who knows what. Being in this place puts me on edge. I don’t trust that food, for all I know it has poison in it. Getting up off the bed I take a look around. I have a single bed, a nightstand with a lamp on top of it. There is a seat and table with a flower vase on it, there’s a small kitchenette with a sink, coffee maker and microwave. Checking through the cupboards they are already full of basic food that are either microwavable or food that doesn’t need to be heated. I notice that there is no cutlery in here and only paper plates, clever on their behalf I suppose. The only window I have in here is the one that lets me see into the hallway, I can’t even see what’s outside from in here. At least I have a tv to watch. To my left there’s a door, when I go to open it I find that there is a bathroom behind it. There’s a large bath with a shower attached to the wall, a vanity and a toilet. The bathroom has all necessary toiletries in here. Looking in the mirror I remember that I haven’t even washed the blood off of my face and hands. Then I notice another door in the bathroom, I open it revealing a closet already full of clothes and shoes. I suppose I should be grateful for not being locked in a dirty prison cell, but thinking about my new living area plus the fact that this entire place is completely white gives me the creeps. What on earth does this ancient Hybrid have in mind for me?
As I walk back out of the bathroom I notice up in the corner of the main room there is a camera. I guess they don’t plan on giving me any privacy. I walk over to the table grabbing the chair before flinging it at the camera smashing it off of the wall.
I’m taken off guard by a woman’s voice coming through the speaker.
“Please don’t damage this room otherwise I may transfer you to a cell down in the dungeon.”

It’s been six days since I’ve been confined to my new living area. The guards bring me three meals a day. I haven’t talked to anybody since I’ve been in here, I still have no idea why he really wants me here.
Suddenly a part of the wall opens revealing a window to the outside world. By scanning my surroundings this place looks like a compound with thick concrete walls that look to be about four stories high. It’s huge outside!
My attention is stolen by the people that look to be in a training session below. At least I don’t have to watch them killing each other this time.
Their combat training stops before they line up in front of “general asshole.” Demetrius walks through their ranks probably lecturing them about something. Next I see him dragging one of the men to the front where he throws him in front of the general. I gasp in shock as I watch him snap the mans neck like a twig. Demetrius turns back to them saying something else before that group of soldiers leave and another group comes in. They continue to switch groups, each time Demetrius walks along the ranks speaking to them. Nobody else has had their necks snapped yet.
I wonder what kind of beings they are and why they are all masked. I counted 10 rows across and 20 rows back in each group and there has been 10 groups. This must be their army, 2000 strong but not including the guards inside and surrounding the compound. This place must be huge to fit that much people here, it will definitely be a hell of a challenge trying to escape.
