The Blessed Luna's Saviors

Chapter 6

~Reagan

I woke up a back in my cell, but for the first time I was laying on the thin mattress. That was a bit strange, normally the guards just threw me on the floor and left me wherever.

"Amethyst?" I tried linking my wolf. We had be injected with so much wolfsbane and silver that I knew there was a chance I wouldn't hear from her. Every time Ashley or Janice took me into the torture cell, I knew there was a chance that Amethyst wouldn't come back to me. This was my biggest fear, Amethyst was the reason I was able to remain sane and hadn't succumb to the darkness. She would tell me to be strong and promised me that one day we'd get out. The more the years that went on, the harder it was to believe, but Amethyst wouldn't let me down. My parents had always told me to trust my wolf, she and my mates would always keep me safe.

"I'm still here, sweet girl." Amethyst replied and I let out a sigh of relief, she was weak, but at least she was with me. I thanked the Goddess that at least my wolf was still there, it was getting harder to hold on, but giving up, meant giving up on my wolf and I couldn't do that to her.

"I'm going to need more rest. Ashley gave us way to much silver and wolfsbane, it's harder to stay awake." Amethyst told me and I told her to rest. I knew she did what she could to heal and protect me, but we were so weak from lack of food and the constant beatings we were no better than a human. I knew that Ashley and Janice were stupid enough to think that they never beat me enough to kill me. Janice always talked about bigger plans for me, so she warned Ashley to be careful. Until recently, Ashley was careful, but the amount of wolfsbane and silver she gave me clearly meant she was getting sloppy.

I stayed laying on my mattress trying my hardest not to move, hoping that some of the wounds on my back would start to close. I knew that Amethyst was doing her best, but there wasn't much she could do for me. I wanted to stay awake, be prepared for Ashley or Janice to come back, but I found it hard to stay awake. The last blow Ashley gave to my face broke my nose and likely concussed me. I finally passed out, unable to keep my eyes open.

I don't know how long I slept but when I woke up, I was feeling stronger than I had in a while. I was still in a lot of pain, but my wounds had closed over. Amethyst was still sleeping but she felt stronger. This had only happened twice the whole time I was prisoner, once when Alpha Wilfred died and the other time when I was removed from the hole and placed in the other cell, with the blindfold. I knew that it wouldn't last long, but I'd take the break from the abuse any way I could.

I could hear the guards talking and based on their scent it wasn't the same guards from the other night. I was a bit disappointed, as they were kind to me when they fed me. It was the first amount of kindness that I had received since I had been here, and even though it wasn't a lot, it was more than I ever got. The guards who were watching over the cells, were talking about Ashley and her upcoming birthday party. They said that there was going to be a ton of Alpha's and other high ranking wolves, and Ashley was hoping one of them would be her mate. I could hear the guards chuckling about this. Despite being an Alpha herself, Ashley wanted more power, and knew that with an Alpha who was stronger and had more money, she'd be set for life. Her and Janice could do what they wanted in life, which was spend money and be spoiled. I knew they hated having to run the pack, it was actual work and neither of them wanted to do that. I knew from listening to the guards that both of them would spread their legs, and they'd get others to do their bidding. I knew from listening that it was mainly the former Alpha Wilfred's beta and gamma that ran the pack, Ashley and Janice only did what they wanted, and would pull rank when necessary. I had learned that no one challenged them because they had claimed that they were looking for a mate for Ashley to take over the pack, and Janice was sleeping with both the beta and gamma so they didn't mind running the pack for her, as long as they kept getting action.

That explained why I was being left alone, they were too busy preparing for the party to come down. I knew not to get to comfortable though, I had a sinking feeling that something bad was going to happen either before or after the party. I was entirely right to be cautious of the quiet, quiet always meant something bad was going to happen. After what had to be another day, Ashley came flouncing down to the dungeons. She was in an extremely good mood, and I was worried about what was going to happen. She had the guards drag me into the torture cell and string me up. She injected me with the wolfsbane and silver and I heard Amethyst tell me to be strong, before she went quiet.

Ashley grabbed her favorite whip and like the time before, she started whipping me across the back, with every whip she got more excited. The whipping wasn't as bad as it had been in the past and I was still conscious, careful not to make a sound, when I heard Janice come down.

"Ashley. I told you to get her prepared. We still need her." Janice chastised Ashley, which stopped the whipping.

"Oh mother, it wasn't that bad, I just wanted to make sure she remembered her place." Ashley replied and though I couldn't hear her I imagined she was rolling her eyes.

"Well everything is prepared. Boys, bring her up." Janice said, and I could feel myself being lifted down from the hook I was hanging from. I was unceremoniously thrown over one of their shoulders, without any care to the open wounds on my back.

"Amethyst?" I asked my wolf, scared for what was to come. I hadn't been brought out of the dungeons in the fifteen years I was here and I didn't like that I was being carried out.

"I'm here. I love you sweet girl. Be strong." She whispered to me and I knew the silver and the wolfsbane were affecting her. I heard the door of the dungeons open and I felt fresh air on my skin for the first time in years, and I got goosebumps as a breeze blew over my skin. The guard holding me, carried me for a bit longer before he dropped me on the ground. I didn't make a sound but internally grunted from the pain. The two guards propped me up and my arms were lifted above my head and my feet were lifted off the ground. It was similar to the torture cell in the dungeon, but it was worse because my feet were higher off the ground. I could hear what sounded like a crowd, and Ashley laughing at something. She injected me with more silver and wolfsbane, before I heard Janice quiet the crowd.

"Welcome to the auction. As promised, the select few of you are here to bid on your very own slave. The highest bidder can take her with them to do whatever they please. But before we get to the bidding, let me show you her fight."
