Chapter 5

• Anya's Point of View
• The repeated knock on the door made me opened my eyes. I stood up and got my robe on the chair, and went to open the door.
• "Lorraine, what are you doing here?" I asked. Lorraine smiled at me. After following Marcus yesterday, Lorraine and I went back without saying anything to each other. I kept quiet the whole night, thinking who could be the one sending the message made from our warriors' blood.
• "Luna, it's time for you to eat your food," Lorraine said. I watched her movement as she plays with her fingers. Lorraine seemed to want to speak to me, but she didn't.
• "What time is it?" I asked her. She gave me a small smile and scratched her head.
• "It's already noon, Luna. You missed eating your breakfast," she politely said. I stared at her and turned my body, facing the window of my room. I saw the sun was up high in the sky. How long have I slept for me to missed the food?
• "Okay, I will have a bath first. You can wait for me in the kitchen," I said. She slightly bowed her head and walked away."Thank you, Lorraine," I added and closed the door. When I was showering, the message did not leave my mind. I was scared not only for myself but for Marcus because it was clearly directed to him. He's the old friend the message was talking about. I blow dry my hair and pick a yellow sundress.
• "Where's Marcus?" I asked Lorraine after I entered the
• kitchen.
• "He's in the underground prison with my mate, Luna," Lorraine said and handed me the bowl of fruits. "Arnold told me they already caught the snitch," she added. I stopped what I was doing and stared.
• "Lorraine, I need to go there, "I said. "Do you know where the underground prison is?" I added. In my stay here, I haven't had the time to wander around. She avoided my gaze and bowed her head.
• "Lorraine!" I called her and saw her fidgeted in her seat. She the only one I trust here in Marcus's pack. Lorraine was my first friend in here, just like back then with Candice in Blue Moon pack.
• "Lorraine, please. Come with me," I begged and held her hand. Lorraine let out a sigh and squeezed my hand.
• "Then, let's go, Luna."
• "Thank you very much, Lorraine. I knew I could count on you," I sincerely said and hugged her tight. We went out of the packhouse and escaped the guard on duty. We ran and ran until Lorraine stopped.
• "We are here, Luna," she said. I looked at the building. It looked more like a simple house, but it was long and had multiple cells when we
• went inside. Lorraine talked to the guard while I went inside.
• "Lorraine, you can leave me here," I said that surprised her.
• "But Luna!" she called.
• "I will handle it alone, Lorraine. I don't want you to get involved if Marcus saw
• me. Go on, Lorraine," I said and smiled. She hesitated at first, but she followed my order. She ran back to the packhouse direction,
• leaving me inside. I walked down the building. Only the dim lights served as my light.
• I heard the scream of a person in pain in one of the rooms. I walked hurriedly and leaned on the wall. I peeked inside the room and
• saw Marcus holding a silver whip, and a bloodied man on the chair was being handcuffed.
• "Who is he!? Who's your boss!?" Marcus angrily shouted. The man smiled like he was mocking Marcus.
• "I won't tell you," he said. Marcus whipped him again, and he screamed in pain when the silver hit his body.
• "Will you tell me now?" Marcus asked. He looks like he's controlling his beast. The man spat on his shoe and shook his head.
• "Kill him," Marcus cold voice commanded. I covered my mouth and looked away as the man took his last breath in Arnold's hand. I really can't withstand seeing them kill.
• "What are you doing here?" Marcus said while his arms were crossed. I almost faint at the sight of blood, but he's way scarier than it.
• "I w-was--" I stammered. Marcus grabbed my arm. I bit my lips and winced in pain as I was hurting. He knew how sensitive my body was,
• but he still held it harshly to leave a bruise.
• "What the hell, Anya!? Who said you can come in here!?" he angrily said.
• "M-Marcus,"
• "Leave this place, Anya. Until I can still hold myself. Go back to the
• packhouse," he calmly said, but I refused and shook my head. I'm not going to leave him in this place. I could see his expression darkened, and the next thing he did, scared me. He grabbed me by the neck and pinned me to the wall.
• "Who told you to disrespect your Alpha, huh?" he asked while
• glaring at me. I tried removing his hands around me, but he was too strong for
• me. I cried.
• "N-no one," I weakly said.
• "Don't get ahead of yourself, Anya. You're here because my wolf needs you. Don't act like a nuisance that you already are," he spat.
• "M-Marcus, p-please," I pleaded. I couldn't breathe. His hands were still around my neck. I could feel my consciousness slowly leaving my
• body. My eyes were blurry with tears.
• "Shit, Alpha! You're going to kill the Luna!" I heard Arnold said. Marcus looked at me with pain in his eyes and quickly released me. I slumped on the ground, coughing. I was catching my breath, and everything around me went black.
