“Hey! Wake up right now! You think you can sleep here?” a rough voice yelled at me.

Before I could even sit up, the man came into my small prison cell and started kicking me hard in the stomach. Each kick felt like a hammer hitting me.

I groaned in pain and tried to protect myself, but he wouldn’t stop. He kicked my hands when I tried to cover my stomach. Fear and anger filled me, but the pain was worse than anything I had ever felt.

He kicked me even harder, then punched me in the face so hard that I coughed up blood. I think he knocked out one of my teeth, but I couldn’t check because my hands were chained up.

The heavy chains kept me on my knees on the cold stone floor.

“You’re our prisoner! You don’t get to sleep before we do. Do you understand?” The guard grabbed my hair and punched my face again.

More blood filled my mouth. I spat it out in the corner of the dark cell. The room was so dark that I couldn’t see their faces when they came to hurt me.

The man laughed like a crazy person and left the cell. My whole body hurt everywhere. Ever since they captured me, they beat me up every single day.

Every time I tried to close my eyes and rest, they would come in and hurt me. I almost passed out during the last beating, but thinking about my mate Jane gave me the strength to keep going.

I wanted to cry because I missed her so much. We had only been apart for a few hours, but it felt like years to me.

I knew Jane had chosen to go with the evil Alpha King to save my life, but I wished she hadn’t done that.

I loved her more than anything, and I never wanted her to be with that monster. I was scared about what he might be doing to her right now.

What if he was hitting her? What if he was forcing her to do things she didn’t want to do? That evil man could do anything to hurt Jane, and it made me so sad because I couldn’t help her.

Please, Moon Goddess, keep my Jane safe from that evil Alpha King.

I wanted to escape from this terrible place and find Jane, but I didn’t know how. The guards never left me alone, and they would catch me if I tried to run away.

But I wouldn’t give up. I had to do everything I could to get away and find her. She was my mate, and we were supposed to be together forever.

My breathing was hard and painful. Every time I moved, it hurt. But I had to keep trying until I found Jane.

Soon, I heard voices coming from outside my cell. The guards sounded very happy about something they were talking about.

I wanted to use my werewolf hearing to listen to what they were saying, but my body hurt so much that it was hard to focus. The pain made it difficult to concentrate.

But I didn’t give up. I couldn’t give up. Jane was my fated mate, whether I had marked her or not, and she was more important to me than whatever pain I was enduring. I used my enhanced hearing abilities to listen in.

“Our Alpha king is so lucky. That woman is really beautiful. I heard he’s been having sex with her for hours. She’s been screaming, and everyone in the palace can’t sleep because of the noise,” one of the men said, laughing loudly. The others laughed too.

My heart started beating fast at what I heard. That wicked Alpha King had violated my Jane? My heart broke at the thought of what she was going through.

I was livid, and all I wanted to do was kill that wicked man for laying his hands on my mate.

“That stupid second-chance mate of hers will die tomorrow morning. We’ll get orders to kill him. After that, we can go back to the palace. I can’t wait to go back and have some fun with the servant girls,” another guard added.

“Why should we wait until we get back to fuck some pussy? Let’s go fuck those females locked up in the cells,” the last one suggested.

So there were other prisoners here? Where was this place? I was sure it wasn’t part of his pack territory. Were we in some kind of hidden prison in the forest where he kept people he captured?

“You’re right. Let’s hurry up and go,” I heard their footsteps running away, and I felt a little relieved.

Now I had to find a way to escape. I pulled hard on the chains, but I couldn’t break them. The darkness in the room made everything even harder.

“Hey! Why are you making so much noise?” a deep voice surprised me. I thought all the guards had left.

The man walked into my cell, and even though I couldn’t see his face in the dark, I heard the sound of keys jangling.

He had to have a key to unlock these chains. I started thinking about how I could take it from him.

Suddenly, we heard loud screaming from women and grunting from men. The sound of bodies hitting each other told us exactly what the other guards were doing to the female prisoners.

“Damn it. How could they have fun without me?” The guard sounded angry and started to leave.

I realized he was standing very close to me, so I used every bit of strength I had left to punch him as hard as I could in the face.

He fell down on the floor, unconscious. I quickly searched through his clothes to find the keys. It was hard to unlock the chains in the dark, but after a few minutes, my hands and legs were free.

I ran out of the cell and out of the building as fast as I could. Outside, there was enough moonlight for me to see a little bit. The three guards were at the far end of the area, attacking two women prisoners.

I went to the other side of the building and ran into the forest. I was determined to get as far away as possible so I could find Jane, no matter what it took.

“I’m coming for you, Jane,” I whispered as I pushed through the thick trees. “I don’t care how long it takes or how dangerous it is. I will find you, and I will save you from that monster.”

The forest was dark and full of scary sounds, but I wasn’t afraid. My love for Jane was stronger than any fear. Every step I took brought me closer to her.

I had to be smart about this. The Alpha King was powerful and had many warriors. I couldn’t just run into his territory and expect to save Jane by myself. I needed a plan.

First, I had to find other werewolves who hated the Alpha King as much as I did. There had to be other people who wanted to stop him from hurting innocent people.

Second, I had to get stronger. The beating I just received showed me that I wasn’t strong enough yet to fight his warriors. I needed to train and prepare myself.

But most importantly, I had to find out where Jane was being kept and make sure she was still alive.

As I ran deeper into the forest, I could still hear the terrible sounds from the prison behind me getting quieter and quieter. Soon, I couldn’t hear them at all.

I was free, but Jane wasn’t. And I wouldn’t rest until she was free too.

The moon above me seemed to shine a little brighter, as if the Moon Goddess herself was showing me the way. I took it as a good sign.

“Hold on, Jane,” I said to the night sky. “Your mate is coming to save you.”
