The Unexpected Heir

Chapter 3: i was asleep

sandys pov.

i sat in that cell, and watched them leave. when they had found me i was in hibernation. the deep recesses of my mind. starved, raped, beaten, humiliated. i remember all of the pain every strike, bite, and thrust. almost like they were still on me. it was over i was saved all i had to do now was prove i wasnt a threat. i may have taken my demonstration a little far but now they knew.i wasnt to be taken as a triffle little thing despite my small stature of a whopping 5'0. they had no idea who or what i was. the last group that held me figured it out. well at least half of my puzzle. i delivered the same warning to their alpha about the seers. he didnt listen and beat me to a bloody pulp for it. that bastard, and his bastard son was no different.their pack had met their end little by little by my claws. the females were just as nasty and ill tempered as the alphas and the warriors were. any time one was sent in to change my bandages and freash wounds they delighted in pressing their fingers in making them bleed and hurt more, taunting me with their insults. so every chance i got i slit their throats. the alphas were the only ones stronger than me and only because of what ever that blasted fabric was made of. it had somthing to do with my fathers side. it had a simular effect on me that silver had on other shifters. might as well get comfy.i mean it was a cell after all, i had a makeshift bed on the floor but atleast it was clean. i closed my eyes a drifted off into a peacefull sleep, one i hadent had in hundreds of years.

Beta Sampson pov

it was now 6 pm dinner had been served but i was in the alphas office going over todays events. that girl, sandy, was odd. every opertunity to run and she didnt.

perhaps she had grown accustomed to her cage bars? no that didnt sound right or she wouldnt have been so spit firey. for some one imprisoned for 550 years she was up to date on current lingo only people i ever heard say yeet was under 22.and how did she look so yound for a shifter? she should have hit her max almost 3 hundred years ago. puzzle after puzzle this girl.

"mary, special assignment, alphas office now." i linked my sister. a few moments later she entered. huffed up and mad i wasnt at dinner again.

"what?" she snaped.

"special case in the dungeons, i want you to feed her, and see if she will talk to you." i said. she huffed again.

" why am i taking care of some skank in the dungeons?" she asked. i paled at her choice of words. she needs to be informed, perhaps she had an idea before i go to alpha on how to restrain her.

"sit..." i whispered. i delved into the tale of how we found her and what happened today. her eyes were wide. i rubbed my whole face.

"to make matters worse i think shes been raped repetedly. i know she was beaten due to the state we found her in." mary is eerily quiet. she slowly stood up and came around the desk. and brought her hand down so fast i didnt see it.

stinging in my cheek. she actually hit me.

"you left her down there! how could you! shes probly terrified!" she yells as i hold my cheek.

" if it was me id have given her a room already but alpha has given orders." i said she relaxed and took a dep breath.

" if alpha gave orders im sorry. i can only imagine being a survivor myself of rape once, how shes feeling, it must be mulitiplyed 1000 times more for her.

"is she dangerous?" she asked.

" yes and no. shes got an imense amount of power but shows no interest in using against others without just cause." i stated rubbing my face again.

i looked up and mary was already gone. i let out a deep sigh. if any one could get her to talk its mary. heart and soul of the pack that girl. heart of gold and a moth of a sailor.hopefully she wouldnt get herslef killed.

Marys pov

i had the biggest bowl of spaghetti i could find with 4 peices of garlic bread. poor things starving ill bet she hasnt been fed since she got here. i was escorted down by 3 guards but these men who normally stood proud and bold, were now shaking in their armoured boots.

SHES A GIRL. what could be so scary.

surely sammy was exaggerating about earlier.then i saw the state of the dungeons.

holy..... s**t.

this girl was strong.

"we are going to stay back here mam." one of the spoke up

" then give me your gloves, you big puss cakes." i snapped. he shakily took them off and handed me them. i rolled my eyes, men. i headed further in, right about the middle i saw her.sleeping peacefully on the mattress.

"excuse me miss?" wow was that my voice it was squeakier than i wanted it to be suddenly. but to my surprise she didn't rouse from her slumber. i put her food down and opened the cage

"miss?" i tried again a lot louder. nothing, no response. i sat down on my knees next to her cot and found my hand wandering towards her face. i brushed the slightest bit of hair out of her eyes. she was pretty.like really pretty.suddenly her hand shot forward and i was met with blood red eyes and the inability to breath. she had me by my throat. i tried to linked my brother sos. only to be met with no response.

what.the. hell.

the guards hearing the scuffle came running but they stopped at the front of the cage when i held my hand up stopping them cold.

"are you one of those filthy omegas jealous of her alphas attentions??" she bellowed.

i shook my head quickly. i wasn't panicking but i was running out of oxygen. she blinked and its like she was coming to, slowly the red of her eyes receded back to her corneas.

that's not normal.

she let go and retracted her hand and i gasped greedily. that was gonna bruise.

she looked down ashamed.

"im so sorry." she whispered. she reached for my throat again and i flinched but didn't pull away her eyes held mine as she traced where she grabbed me. slowly the pain faded replaced with a purple glow and a warmth.she smiled at me and let her hand drop. my neck no longer hurt. she didn't mean to hurt me.

" my names Mary. temporary luna and sister to the beta of this area. ya hungry?" she smiled and nodded vigorously.

"im sandy but i guess you knew that didnt ya?" she said smiling looking abit sheepish.

"i wanted to give you the opportunity to tell me yourself." i said smiling.

i went out and grabbed the food we sat and i talked mostly because she shoveled almost all the food into her mouth. she was eating so fast i thought she might choke.i told her bout the pack and the alpha and bout how he was a secret softie same as my brother. my brother simply had a lot on his plate till alpha came back. he wasn't due back for a few months because after the business trip he has to do his rounds and spend a week in each region of his territory. i didn't tell her that though.

" so your alphas a good man is he?" she said finally.

"yeah, my brother and i grew up with him and the alpha family.after my parents death they really just kinda took us in."

" i gotta be honest i was expecting another interrogation like earlier, the food was a nice surprise. thank you very much." she said wiping her face. that was enough to feed 4 people. gone 5 min flat.

" unlike my brother im sensitive to the situation. how would you like a friend?"

"its been a few centuries im a bit outta practice, im afraid." she said blushing scratching the back of her head.

" that's ok ill teach ya what else are friends for." i smiled

" hey baby bring me some of that food ill be your friend." the bear shouted in a sing song voice from across the room.

"pig. " i sneered, disgusting. " Imma talk to my brother about getting you outta here. its not conducive to healing the mind after what you have been through." i stated as a matter of factly.

" ill see ya tomorrow ok?" i said gathering the dirty dishes.

" thank you Mary." she smiled, the lights never really reached her eyes though. she had a long road if their first encounter was any indication of how far she needed to go. i went to shut the cell and stopped. what was the point. i swung it wide open.

" its pointless. ill leave it open." i said. she smiled again and got up slowly and shut the door just as slowly.

"i wont be acused of any thing while im here. id have to break out in order to get out. it spells my innocence if somthing happens." she let her arms fall down. and she went back to her cot and rolled over before reaching the door i heard her whisper.

"a friend." as if no one had ever been friendly to her, her entire life.
