The Werewolves' Extinction

Held Captive

MIA

I wake shackled to a bed. The room is somewhat tidy and there is a bottle of water next to me. The curtain is open and I can see farmlands outside. Panic sets in. I look at my room, the walls are basic white. I can see a blanket at the end of my bed and a cup of water on the dressing table beside me. I large chain is bolted into the wall and connected to a cuff around my ankle.

I yank it but it doesn't budge.

I let out a gruntled huff and sit silently trying to listen for any noise, but its all silent. My dress is ripped and one of the straps is broken, falling down across my chest. I tie the two bits of strap together and hope that the men that took me haven't tried anything.

I'm pissed off and I can feel Ziva is just as Angry.

"I told you not to go outside " she growls. I don't respond. I'm not going to encourage this voice in my head.

"Hello..is anyone there?" I ask.

The door to my room opens, his smell hits me before he even enters the room.

"About time you woke up," the man grumbles at me. "I'll get you some food."

He walks off and returns with a sandwich and an apple. I inspect the sandwich but choose to eat the apple. My logic being that it would be hard to hide a drug in an apple compared to a sandwich.

I put the sandwich down on the dresser and keep hold of the apple.

The man stands over me and stares. "boss's orders, I have to make sure you eat, so eat the dam food you stupid bitch."

I'm taken back by his bluntness but I don't respond I wont give him the satisfaction. I decided I will bide my time and watch the men. I love a good crime movie and if there anything I've learnt is to study your captures, find a weakness and attack when they least inspect it.

Ziva purrs in my head "I knew I had smart human."

"Shut up" I mentally tell her

She lets out a sad whine.

I wait for him to leave, his smell is revolting and has caused my stomach to tighten in a ball, completely removing any hunger I had. Unfortunately it seems he has other ideas. He continues to remain where he was within arms reach. I look up at him and make eye contact. I gasp and shuffle back on the bed. His eyes are blood red. He laughs "You're so measly. Just a simple Human. I don't get why the boss wants you here. You would make a good breakfast snack."

He reaches forward and grabs me by the throat. I bring my hand up and try to pry his finger away but its strength is nothing like I've seen before. My apple drops and rolls across the floor as I continue to try free my neck. Black spots start appearing in my vision and I try to suck in air but I have no success. The man doesn't say anything he stares into my eyes and smiles. He pulls me into him and thrusts his nose into my neck, I hear him inhale my scent, and feel his tongue lightly lick up my neck to my ear. "What I would do to have you." he whispers. I can feel Ziva clawing at my mind trying to take control. Just as I think I am about to black out he releases me and throws me back against the wall. "Now be a good girl and eat your food!"

He storms out slamming the door behind him. I fall against the wall crying and gasping for air. I desperately try to wipe his saliva off my skin. "Don't worry little one we will kill him first!" Ziva states.

I crawl back to my bed and huddle in a ball. This is the worst Birthday I have ever had.

I hear Ziva start to hum, its soothing but it angers me. "Shut the f**k up! Get out of my f*****g head" I throw my arms out in anger hitting my sandwich off the dresser. My stomach grumbles as I throw another piece of food away. "Now look what you made me do. Starve us both" i say to Ziva.

Ziva doesn't listen and continues to hum. "I'm not going anywhere Mia. We are one. I will be your best friend and your guide if you let me. We can do great things. You just need to accept this. Accept that I am here and accept who you really.

I place my hands over my face and moan. I lie down and try to forget the days events. Surely someone will realize I'm missing and come find me.

I was going to meet Izzy after my last exam today. I'm sure she will note I'm gone.

I close my eyes and rest for a few hours. I instantly shuffle back againt the wall though when I hear someone enter the room. I look up instead to find someone else.I recognise him as one of the men outisde my aprtment who grabbed me and dragged me here.

He's dressed in deep blue dress pants and a white button up shift, with his cuffs rolled up. His muscles and veins pop out from his forearm. I his sandy blonde hair sits in a tidy style on his head with his fringe styled upwards framing his perfectly framed face. I can see he's very fit and cares for himself. He would be extemely attractive in any other situation.

He walks to the corner of the room and pulls up a wooden chair. He smiles a million dollar smile at me, then frowns when he sees my untouched food across the floor.

"Have you eaten?" he asks in a smooth deep voice.

I shake my head.

"I will see that the guards bring you something else to eat,"

I don't say anything but just stare back at him like a deer in the headlights.

"Not much of a talker then are we? Well then I guess I will start. My name is Ryan. I am.. lets say employed by the people keeping you here. I dont really agree with this set up but I dont have a choice in the matter. Can I ask your name?"

"Mia," i croak out suddenly realising how dry my mouth is. My throat aches from the near strangling I had earlier as well.

"Mia," he rolls my name off his tongue in a manner that almost gives me butterflies.

Why the f**k am I having these thoughts I tell myself. This man is my captor. Sort your s**t out I think to myself. Ziva instanly agrees, "another stinky human, I dont trust him"

I roll my eyes internally "You haven't liked a single person I've met since you invaded my brain"

"Mia do you know what I am?"

"I look at him stunned by this question. Is he also a werewolf?

I shake my head.

"Well maybe thats a conversation we have another day. Why were you at the university residence this morning?"

"I study there."

"Did you have a vistor this morning?"

"No?" I say but my eyes almost bulge out of my head. Does he know? Surely not. Is he a doctor? Am I in a mental health ward? My brain runs through a million questions. I decide to not give to much away, surely he knows more about me then he's letting on.

"Mia what do you know of warewolves?"

I almost laugh but stifle it, "Like the ones in fairytale stories?"

"Well yes, but do you know they are real?"

"I don't belive you," I say almost unconvincingly.

If im honest my brain was running through so many scenarios. Maybe I hadn't imagined this morning events. Maybe this is the government. They will tie me down and run every test under the sun on me.

"I wouldn't let them touch a hair on our head" Ziva growls.

"Hmm'" Ryan says as he strokes the stuble on his chin. "Who did that to your neck?"

I my hand goes to my throat and I'm suddenly aware of how much my back also aches.

"Um, im not sure. ONe of the men outside."

I see anger flash accross Ryans eyes. He suddenly gets up and walks with determination towards my door. "I'll get someone to bring a meal shortly. The door slams behind him and I don't hear his footsteps leave. I put two and two together and realise the room is sound proof.

ARLO

Its been 3 weeks since reports of a female being taken captive were shared with me. There have been no sightings of her yet and I've pulled back my intelligence team. Each day has been the same reports. Two vampires switch guard duty every 8 hours. Another vampire has been seen coming and going at irregular intervals. They have not been able to smell or see the female, so we can only assume that she has probably been feed off and her body disposed

I finish mind-linking Jackson, he has not further reports to give me today and they still have tracked the rogue down that they smelt in town.

I hear a knock at the door and see Ollie coming in. "Hey boss!" He gives me a wink and throws a beer at me. "I need you to drink this".

I look at him apprehensively, but do as he requests. Ollie slouches down onto the black leather couch near my desk. "Do you remember that night when we went out to town? And Ruebs pulled us a few birds. We danced with them all night. And then one of them tried to spike bloody Rubes drinks?" Ollie started laughing.

"That f*****g twit went along with it just to get laid!" I replied

"And then when they got to her house she tried to give him a butt plug!" Ollie bursts into fits of tears.

"Teach him for being desperate" I join in with the laughter.

Werewolves have a far stronger body, most alcoholic drinks and drugs have little impact on us. Rueben pretended it had an affect on him that night. He suddenly became very sober when she bent him over and pulled the plug out her draw.

I laugh at the memory. He literally ran all the way home in just his undies. I'll never forget his face when I opened the front door to find him in his underwear soaking wet from the rain, with a face that looked like he just saw the devil himself. I tried to tell him that it can actually be a very pleasurable experience but he didn't want a bar of it.

Things were so good up until 4 years ago. So stress free.

I went to high school like every other teenager in my pack. Ollie, Ruebs and I had always been very tight. We each had younger sisters that also got along and we often would all hang out after school. They knew they would be my leadership team when I came into the roll of Alpha. I trusted them with my life.

When I turned 18 a weekend out on the town was a regular event. We were safe then. The disease hadn't spread amongst our kind yet, our American packs had been hard hit but our Europe Alphas were on good terms with the Europe Vampires.

We would train hard all week then go to town on the Saturdays. When I turned 21, I would be lying if I said I wasn't disappointed to not find my Mate. I thought Becca would be. She was a strong female warrior and we had already been sleeping together.

When I turned 22 I was thrusted into the Alpha position. The disease had spread. Treaties with the vampires broke down and they allowed the American Vampires to take control. Rumors were that one vampire in particular was the sole cause of this spread, but we could never confirm this. They were loyal to their leaders and whenever we captured a vampire, they'd stab their own heart with a wooden stake.

When my mother became sick we isolated her to protect us. I felt so selfish leaving her to die on her own. We knew she wasn't going to make it. As Luna she was so caring and loving. She spent her time at the hospital trying to sooth those who were loosing their battle to the illness. Little did she know it would be her own fate as well. The disease has a 100% death rate.

My father became so derange from loosing his mate he went on a personal vendetta. They killed him and track his scent back to the pack. We fought and lost almost half our back that day. We had protocols in place though and most of them managed to flee. Our pack roamed for weeks unable to find a new safe place to settle.

Katie, my sister, turned 21 amongst all this and met her mate, an alpha of the Black Ridge Pack. I begged her not to go. I knew it wasn't safe. Almost 8 weeks later I was informed her pack was attacked and the disease spread quickly. As far as we were aware there were no survivors.

My pack continued to roam. Twice we settled but we were found by the assholes. Our numbers dwindled. Eventually we became the last pack in Europe. Members from other packs would flee and join ours, but I felt it was only a matter of time before we were found again.

This high volume of vampires hanging around the nearby city made me uncomfortable. I didn't want to run, this time we had to fight. I had procedures in place. Most of our packs houses had installed secret rooms and scent masks.

I had a team working round the clock to find a cure, but we haven't even come close.

If they vampires came through, the pack knew to hide. I have been training my warriors hard and our numbers were small but strong. When the time is right we would attack but I'll bide my time until then.

"Right" Ollie said, breaking my thoughts. "Now that you've got that beer in you, I've got some news. I know you're not going to like it."

"Go on" I groan.

The elders have sent their messenger. They know our numbers are low and to protect the pack they want you to take a Luna and for an alliance with some of the more secure packs from overseas. They've arranged some suitable candidates to fly in at the beginning of next month."

"Are you f*****g serious?"

"As serious as a heart attack"

I want to punch him in his stupidly good looking face for his ridiculous comment. I had only just gotten over Becca, I wasn't ready for this.

"Did they say who the women were?"

Ollie flicks open his phone and reads a list of names. I only recognize three of seven names given, having meet their Alpha fathers before. Keiko Noguchi from Japans Jade Stone Pack. Sapphire Yates from New Zealand's Black Forest Pack and Grace Fritz from Americas Juniper Rise Pack. I recognized all of the packs listed though, and all were very reputable.

My wolf was displeased and it left a sour taste in my mouth. I knew the Elders were right. We must fortify our packs, and should the opportunity arise, an alliance with an over seas pack would give us the option to flee to if we are attacked again. I wish I had mate blessed to me by the moon goddess herself, I never wanted to chose a mate, some say its not a good omen for an alpha to choose a mate. This is why I stalled for so long while dating Becca.

I know I cannot go against the Elders wishes though They supply valuable resources to our back. With our last attack most of our companies were also cyber attacked and we lost a massive fortune. The Elders were able to seek support from packs overseas and they helped us get back up onto our feet again. I feel as though I owe them and my pack this sacrifice.

I get up and check the time, the nights still young.

"Well I guess I should enjoy my next few weeks as a single man," I smirk at Ollie. "This beer has hit the spot, lets open the pack house bar and invite them all in. I think we could use a little cheering up."
