fuck!”
    Alright, I’ll admit that I lost my temper a bit there. I surged forward rolling to my feet and lunging across the cell to hit the bars with a loud crash. A moment later the door burst open and the guards rushed in, rifles aimed at me but they didn’t fire as Mathias calmly held up a hand toward them.
    “What the fuck is wrong with you!?” I roared and shook the gate as hard as I could. The metal creaked and groaned under the force and the guards shifted nervously.
    “You call me a fucking animal but you would just throw her to the unknown like that? Like any other pawn on your fucking chess board!”
    He took a step forward, his face showing nothing and just as I reached through the bars to try to grab him the pain hit me again. My body stiffened and jerked and I hit the ground muscles locking in spasm, uncontrollable, and I went down like a felled tree.
    My teeth ground together and I pissed myself as I lost all control over my body. Pain screamed through my injured leg and I was pretty sure that the half-assed healed wound in it tore open during the spastic seizure created by the two leads buried in my chest. Mathias held a professional grade Taser, likely with some modifications to it, in his hand. He held down the trigger, pumping who knew how many volts of electricity through my body for what felt like hours rather than mere seconds.
    When he finally let up, all I could do was lie there and twitch, glaring at him with an impotent rage that stoked the fires of the beast within me. The wolf didn’t like not being able to sink its teeth into our tormentor, and I agreed with it whole heartedly.
    Since my banishment from the pack, I had survived only because I didn’t have anything better to do really. However, as of that moment, I found a new reason to survive. I vowed to myself that one day, one day soon, if I could help it, I would tear Mathias Young’s throat out with my own teeth – human or wolf, it didn’t matter so much right then. I’d take either, so long as I got it done. This fucker needed to die. For father, for Rom, for William and even for little Chloe, but especially for me.
    “Glare all you like, Kid,” he rumbled in that deep basso voice of his. Forget that I was at least a century older than he was.
    “You’re caught. And you’re not getting out of here. I have plans for you. Do you have any idea how long I’ve been trying to capture a Blood Born with your level of control? You’re right. Things haven’t gone exactly according to plan, but I can say that this might be even better in serving my cause.”
    He leaned down until he was crouching close to the bars on the other side of the cage. So close, I could have easily killed him, but when I tried to move he pulled the trigger on the Taser again and sent a surge of agony running through my body that left sparkles flitting through my vision and put me in a state of barely hanging on to consciousness.
    “You’re right, Chloe was never supposed to survive,” he whispered. “You fucking dogs can’t even kill one little bitch right. I shouldn’t have expected anything more from a useless fucking animal like your lunatic brother. He was much more open to the idea of being the new Alpha and letting me take the weaker members of your pack for my experiments. Now, with William as the Alpha, I will have to take different measures when it comes to finding new test subjects. You, hmm, you are just the beginning.”
    I snarled and tried to say something but I must have bitten my tongue when I was spazzing because all that happened was some blood leaked from my mouth. I wasn’t able to get out anything more than a garbled gurgling sound before he smiled brightly at me and pulled the trigger on the Taser again.
    This time he didn’t let up until I blacked out.

    I jerked awake, my eyes snapping open only for me to groan and close them again against the bright, searing light that beamed down on me from overhead. I felt cold
