Ceruline's Pov :

My eyes started to flutter open as I took in our surroundings. It was a dark and cold place, nothing of the warm cozy caves I used to sleep in with Connor and Collin.

Oh, that's right. We've been locked up here by some stupid pack and because of some Alpha taking us as his prisoners. No doubt that he wants to kill us for trespassing his territory. Typical pack wolves and their stupid territory laws.

As I stretched my legs for a bit, I felt something heavy on my shoulder. I looked to my side to see Connor sleeping peacefully. I giggled silently at how cute Connor could be in sleeping, having a little drool there on the corner of his lips.

I wonder how cute Collin would be as well as he sleep. I bet he's way cuter than his-

My eyes went wide when I saw that Collin was no longer here in the cell with us. I immediately scanned the room and stood up immediately, hitting Connor's head with my shoulder, jolting him awake and landing on his side with a thud.

A grunt escaped his lips as He looked at me with tired eyes.

" Carol, listen. Next time, when you are surprised to see a guy sleeping beside you or resting his head on your shoulders, You could've just woke him up or at least slowly and gently lay his head down on- "

" Collin's gone. "

"..on Collin and- wait what?, " His eyes shot open with alert as he stood up and scanned the room, searching for his little brother.

" Where's Collin?, " He looked at me frantically and worriedly as much as I am when I discovered that Collin was no longer here with us.

" I-I don't know! He's supposed to be here with us! Unless He was taken when we were asleep-"

Something creaked in metal hinges and heavy footsteps were heard going down as my anger started to surge when I saw his face. I started to see red as I quickly slammed myself in the bars, making the metal rattle in echoes inside the cell. I was about to shout where was Collin but Connor beat me to it with a roar of his voice,

" YOU BASTARD! WHERE IS COLLIN?! I SWEAR WHEN I GET OUT OF HERE AND TEAR YOU TO SHREDS, YOU SON OF A- "

Alpha Blade made no reaction whatsoever and looked back as he stepped aside for us to see Collin cheerfully holding a plate of pancakes in his hands.

I let out a sigh of relief as I slumped down to my knees as I reached my arms out as far as the bars would let me for Collin to put down the plate and run up in my arms.

" He's safe and alive still, you know..., " Alpha Blade said in a soft deep voice that calmed me of my anger almost instantly, even my wolf revelled in his words. Well, Almost.

" Well, thank you, " I spoke in a slightly harsh tone, suddenly not liking the taste of the words that left my mouth.

At the corner of my eye, I saw him flinch at my words but that must've been my imagination.

Connor went by my side and placed an arm around me, a growl errupted inside the room. I saw the alpha's jaw hardened as he glared at the arm in my shoulder then glared at Connor, daring him to do something else.

As expected when provoked, Connor barked out, " What do you want with us? Look, if you're planning to kill us, just spare the girl and the kid and kill me instead- "

" Connor! " I interrupted him, looking at him then turning to Collin, his mouth forming a frown as he held me closer with his small arms.

Realizing what he had said especially in front of his little brother, Connor took back his words and stammered,

" Please... Just don't kill us. J-Just let us go and I swear you'll never see or even hear about us again. "

I looked up at Connor and patted his hand in comfort as I await for his answer, my eyes pleading for him to reconsider and take Connor's word for it.

Collin shuffled in my arms for a bit, turning his gaze to the alpha, as he voiced out,

" You pwomised, Bwade... "

Looking at Collin to ask him to repeat what the alpha promised to him, I get nothing in response as I turned to the alpha for answers. He focused on Collin as he rubbed a hand down his face.

" With that attitude, you'll never get the pack's approval to stay here and she'll never stay here as well, " He murmered to himself.

" What? "

" I said that I'll let you join my pack, seeing that what the pup said that you're both good people, I'll let you stay. But you have atleast one week to get the approval of at least 20 members in my pack. You get the votes, you stay. If you don't, you leave, " He answered straightforwardly, his face hard of any expressions.

A bitten back laughter erupted in the room as the alpha turned his gaze at Connor as he spoke,

" So, you want us to be look harmless to your pack and magically get their approval? I know you pack wolves never liked us, rogues. So, tough luck for us. "

" If i were you, i'd change my attitude, thank me for not killing you and giving your family a safe haven inside my pack borders and within my people. If you are lucky enough to survive out there in the open, you might just have a chance to convince my pack members as well, " The alpha spat out as he threw the keys to Connor and turned to his heel to walk out.

As he started to go upstairs, I was confused and called out to him, making him stop in his tracks,

" Why are you letting us stay in your pack, knowing that we are rogues? "

Alpha Blade looked down at me with a straight face, his lip slightly twitching, as he turned the handle of the metal door,

" I don't know. Maybe I'm just trying to be friendly. "
