Cassidy had gone wild in the heirs that followed Jett leaving and defying her and her wolf. As soon as the beta had left, minutes later a lower ranking guard had brought she and Jett trays of food and bottles of water. The guard slipped the slim tray and bottle of water through the lower spacing of the bars where the kennel had been made to accept trays of food or other items, but she didn’t touch it. She didn’t trust it. Jett on the other hand had come
by the time the guard had placed his food down and when the
man left and locked the door, Jett’s low chuckle echoed in the room. I know you cant shift back yet Cass… But try to eat. Slowly. I will get you out of here. I promise.” He said gruffly as he grabbed his own plate and began to eat the bland meal.
Cassidy looked to Jett when he promised to get her out of here. She felt so broken right now. So angry, hopeless and heartbroken she didn’t know if she could stomach even the little amount of food that was on the tray. She would try, for Jett. She ate the food slowly, her malnourished stomach unable to handle more than a bite or two at a time. When she was done, she napped for maybe thirty minutes before she woke up angrier than she had ever been before. ‘She will never be good enough!‘ she heard in replayed over and over in her head again and again. The Alpha’s words cut deep. Cassidy threw herself at the bars of the cage for hours, snarling as if she had lost her mind and so angry the world no longer made sense to her. She went wild until she wore herself out and burned through the anger to settle on the cold steel bottom of the kennel in a sinking depression. Her mate rejected her…
The hours turned to days and the she–wolf went through cycles of intense emotional changes. She went through depression and grief, curling herself up in her metal box and having nothing but pity for herself and the situation they were in. The beatings Jett had been receiving had stopped for the most part and their food came on a three times a day schedule now that allowed the two prisoners to slowly gain their strength back. Yet as soon as she was feeling stronger after every meal, Cassidy would feel that anger surface and she held onto it. She would pace and growl and think of a thousand ways she would get revenge on the alpha once she was free from here. Even if she wasn’t free, all it would take would be one slip up on the alpha’s part if he was ever close to her again. She wanted to hurt him as much as he had hurt her.
On the third day, after the men had come to take Jett away for more interrogations she assumed, they had come for her. Four of them, dressed heavily in riot gear and armed with tranquilizer guns and tazers had surrounded the kennel she was in that was at this time becoming quite fouled from the she wolf’s bodily functions resuming working again. They wheeled Cassidy out of the room and through the halls in the same direction she and the alpha had taken. Every step closer to the elevator, Cassidy became more and more stressed out. Her anxiety levels were rising and the guards that were escorting her were just escalating the fear that was starting to set in.
“Think we will get in trouble if we have a little fun when she shifts back?”
“He did reject her. Its not like she is ever going to leave that cell again.”
“If the alpha can we can. No one will know.”
“None of you will touch her. We have orders and you know the rules. The alpha can do what he wants to anyone, so just do your damn job!” the fourth one snapped at the other three.
