Chapter 47
Enoy pov
It's been a few days or well I think it has since they locked me in this cell. The other guy down here doesn't talk much other than to remind me not to eat what they send down. “I promise it worse to eat it than to starve,” he tells me. Something about him makes me listen to him completely. Not like a command more like he knows what he's talking about and I kinda like hearing him talk a lot. His voice even though it's weak and raspy is almost soothing. Every time I hear the door I rush back to the cot and pretend to still be asleep. This last time I just left the food where they put it to see what they would do.
A jolt goes through me waking me up it was like I was being electrocuted. Screaming in pain as the prod strikes me again. Jumping off the cot to get away I see Ren's evil sneer through the bars. He inserts the key when bells start ringing. Stopping she looks around trying to figure out the source. With every ring getting louder I feel a thud in my chest. With each bell strike, I can smell more in this room. The overwhelming scent of fresh cinniebonnies fills the air. I know wren is not here so the scent wasn’t coming from him. The stench of rot soon filled my nose as I looked at the now frightened Ren. I can feel my wolf clawing to break through a fog. My eyes start to clear and I can see the dust floating in the dim lighting in here. I can feel the anger coming from myself and my wolf but also another hatred is coming to me. The only other person down here is the other prisoner and I can feel his hate like it's my own. My wolf reaching out to pull in the hate he feels the desire to see Ren laying on the floor bloody clouds my thoughts. The louder the bells get the closer I feel the shift coming. Soon I see a giant well fist size spider scurry into my cell. Ren having seen enough ran from the room screaming. First, the spider just looked at me then looked around.
“Matilda?” I ask as the little thing well not so little but little compared to her real size. How is she so small than the real Matilda fashion she ignores me crawling up the bars. I see the keys still in the lock. “go check on the other guy for me will ya help him if he's bound I will be there shortly please.” I swear if this spider didn’t roll its eyes at me. Yep Matilda. “who are you talking to there's is now one here?” his horse voice whispers out. “well that's not true Matilda or a baby Matilda is here trust me when she….” “aaaahhhhh help a huge giant spider. No no, it's coming to me to help someone.” “shhhhh they will hear you and Matilda won't hurt you she's my sister's companion. Well, it's a baby version of her spider anyways.” I gently coo out at him hoping it will help him calm down. “we don’t get spiders up here. How?” “she's special trust me.” “Okay, only cause I feel I can but what it's coming to me why what's it doing?” “are you tied down anywhere?” “yes” “then that's why she's gonna see about releasing you okay while I unlock this door and find the key to yours. First I cant shift so I need a weapon. Good thing I have been training in weapons but I should have been studying how to fashion a weapon with nothing. Then I see the bowl they left. Metal that will work.
Using the bars to help mold the bowl into a ball. Taking a scrap of cot fabric I wrap it around the ball tying it in a knot leaving a long tail. Not the best but it will hurt someone and the edges of the bowl are sharp so that can be helpful. Opening the cell door when Matilda came back. I didn’t want to open the door too soon and risk them coming in with prisoner A still tied down. It's just been me and him down here and I won't leave him in this hell hole. The ringing has stopped but a warm feeling floods me a fog is being lifted off me. I can feel my wolf and she is pissed off. I can't blame her so am I. not looking in the cell I go to the lock and start trying the keys in the lock. A cold warm hand touches my hand sparks explode where he touched it. My eyes shot up to his pale face. His just maybe an inch taller than me with almost white eyes and his hair looks almost like he bleaches it but I know that's not practical for a shifter since hair color is our base so when we shift and shift back its always back to our base colors unless you get the dye blessed by a witch. I feel a tug at my wrist looking down I see my bracelet looking limp like it's just the fabric. Then the fabric turned to dust.
I managed to unlock his door before I am blinded by a rush of backlashing of power I can feel myself falling to the ground as the magic flooded every part of me Matilda stood on my chest stabbing me with her front leg right in that dip in the middle of your neck. Whatever she did help me pull in air. Prisoner A comes over kneeling. he hesitates to touch me. Looking up into his pale eyes I hear my growl or is it my wolf's growl “mine” as I grab his hand. A sad smile crosses his face “you might not want me after what they have done but for now before you reject me yes I am yours.” growling at his words does he not know who I am? “do you know who I am?” he nods “you know about my pack?” again he nods “and do you know our way when it comes to mates?” this he shakes his head “we don’t reject them so ummm okay so I’m Enoy and you mate you are?” “Kai snow. Enoy like the daughter of the alpha of black rose Enoy?” “the one. Snow snow that's the alpha line here is it not?” “Not anymore.” “wrong still for now. Do you smell of rot? No. Did Ren smell of rot? Yes. If they were really given the title alpha here would you still smell of fresh cinnybonnies and the scent of salty ocean air? No, I think not you are not in a pack with them you are the pack here. And just so you know when this is over and I kill those bastards I will be taking you home with me. I don’t care what they did to you. Whatever hell they forced on you does not change that you are mine and will be mine until one of us no longer breaths. Remind me to tell you about my grandmother and my mother on the way back to the black rose. For now, you know this house and land help me to hunt them down and give them the bloody death they deserve.”
A smile brightens his face as my words sink in a small tear in his eyes he wipes away “you still will accept me no matter what?” “There is no will or won't with me and my pack. Mates are a gift from the goddess a blessing. She wouldn't have kept the bond between us if I was not strong enough to help you find your way out of the pain you have. I will be there for you to lean on to take out the frustration of this time. It's my job to love and protect you as you are to me. Think if this was reversed would you reject me?”
Tears streaming down his face
“I accepted you the second that I smelled you.”
