I waited. Complete silence. Darkness. Well I'm used to that part. After about an hour. Footsteps and a smelling scent of vanilla and a mix of coconut. It reminded me too much of Dylan. I whimpered at the thought and heard the door open.

"Emerald" his voice was stern.

"A-Annie said you wanted to s-speak with me?" I heard the door close and he started to walk towards me. The scent. It made Kya inside me howl with pleasure.

"Take off your mask" he didn't come to close to me. Maybe a few feet away. Slowly my hands went up to the damaged cloth he wrapped on my eyes earlier. He took it from my hands, our fingers touched sending tingles.

I gulped and heard him doing something and then he stopped. "I'm holding out something" he then eventually said. I felt around making me touch his arm and then found a cloth.

"The Omegas insisted me giving this back to you" he said. Straight foreword. I nodded and then held it up to my nose. Dylan. I managed to figure out the difference between their scents.

Dylan's had a bit of a stronger, coconut smell.
Ryder's was a stronger vanilla.

They didn't wash it which was good and Dylan's scent was all over it. I kept sniffing into it and seemed to have tears brim my eyes.

"Do you need a moment?" He caught me out of my trance and I shook my head.

"C-can you just help me with it?" He grumbled something and then walked closer to me and went behind me. I held it up and he grabbed the ends making a knot in the back.

"There" his footsteps then left from behind me and he started to walk out.

"Wait" he stopped.

"What is it?"

"I-i uh..wanna..I wanna get to k-know you.."I heard him sigh and and seemed to turn and a thump sound. I tilted my head still putting my head down.

"Fine. Ask away" silence.

"W-what do you look like? I need an idea"

He grumbled. "I don't know. Brown hair. Dark eyes. Uh muscular" I nodded slowly. "Can I leave now? I'm way too busy for this nonsense"

"Wait one more question." He grumbled under his breathe. "What color is my dress?"

"Its red. Why?"

I bit my lip. "Annie said it was your favorite color"

I heard him open the door. "Yeah it reminds me of how much blood I shed this past week" he spat before he left. He slammed the door shut and started to talk outside the door. I walked foreword trying to find the door, I managed and put my ear to it.

"-don't want to see her in my sight. She walks out of this room, you follow her. She can't see you so best mask your scent. Keep quiet, got it?"

Another man then spoke. "Yes Alpha"

"Good if you don't follow my rules you better be suspecting a month in the cells and my men will do what they want with you" the man seemed to be shaking.

"Y-yes Alpha" I growled silently behind the door. How can you treat your pack like this? Both men then stopped talking. Ryder started to walk away and the man on the other sides scent was gone, I growled a bit.

Why is mate being so mean? Kya whimpered a bit making me growl again.

"He's ruthless and taking people's lives seems to be like a sport to him, how are you doing?"

I'm fine, let me out though and I could get us out of here..I nodded finding the latch on my dress. I pulled it down and felt Kya shift. Bones cracked making me whimper and I finally shifted.

You want control don't you? I asked making her purr.

Of coarse human one. I rolled my eyes letting her take control.

Next thing I knew I was outside. I was still in my wolf form, laying on the grass quietly. I don't think anybody noticed. That's when I picked up a scent. Wolves. They didn't smell rouge and that's when I heard them growling. I got up slightly, still unable to see anything that's going on and growled. I started to back up and then bumped into something, er- rather someone.

I yelped and then turned around baring my teeth. They were from this pack. I could sense some were human while others that were closer to me were wolves. Strong ones at that. I whimpered as one of the snapped at me making me fall back. They all snickered and then a howl.

In wolves there are different howls for different communications. One being for truce. One being for surrender. One for someone's hurt. One for a gathering. And one for attack.

Kya I need some help here I heard her growl in me.

I got ya kid I growled at the wolves around me and they started to get closer. There's too many of them! Someone nipped at my tail sending a splint of pain up me. I yelped and another bit into my leg. Blindly, I snapped my teeth until I eventually found someone's neck and I threw them off.

More came and were snapping their jaws and bitting at me. I yelped at every stinging sensation, suddenly I smelt it, blood. It was coming from my leg and the scars that were starting to open up.  I whimpered and my legs started to shake.

"What's the matter little rouge? Can't have a little fun with the big dogs?" A woman had snickered leaving me growling. She snapped her fingers and I was jumped. I felt like I was burning. Wolfsbane.

They spilled it on my back, the scars. It was worst than adding salt to it. I then heard a howl,wolves around me started to whimper. Some were ripped off of me and more snarling. Then someone was standing over me and I sniffed the air. It was him. It was Ryder.

"Mind you all to never touch this wolf again as long as she is in this territory! Back to your post before you join the rouges in the cells!" His voice boomed with authority and everyone scrambled.  I felt his deadly gaze on me. He then picked me up by the scruff and lifted me up with his hand.

"I thought I told you-" he cleared his throat."I thought I told you about leaving the room!" His hand was directly on where they burnt me making me whimper. He then put me down. "Let's go!" He barked. I struggled behind him a bit and felt him stop. I felt an arm swoop underneath me and he started to carry me.

Kya purred a bit and then unconsciously she licked his cheek. He grumbled a bit and kept going.
