The Prince’s Unwilling mate

This tI had clearly slept the entire day. By the tI woke up, David was fast asleep, and it was dark. My lunch and orange juice were placed on the ground beside my bed. I scoffed down the lunch, skipping the orange juice with Jason’s warning still fresh in my mind. It was not that I did trust him, but I trusted David even less. And with him sleeping there was no way of testing my theory of knocking over the orange juice.

I wanted him to stay asleep longer; it gavea bit of a break. But as soon as I got up to try and make my way to the bathroom. I noticed that they had not chainedback to the bed after passing out. I don’t know if it was because they forgot, or if they tried to letbe as comfortable as possible when passed out but I didn’t care. Tonight was the night I was going to escape. The door was always locked from the inside out and David had the keys. He slept with them on his body. Wearing the keys to both my chains, metal collar, and the door on a necklace.

I would have to tear it off his body and that would wake him up for sure. If he woke up I would be dead, he would lose his temper and I would end up in another shallow grave next to his sister. Since being here I thought about suffocating him with his pillow but I never had the guts to do so. Scared he would be able to overpower me. Today I was feeling a lot stronger, and even Willow’s voice was stronger now. I knew it was my only chance in a few hours Jason would be here again and he would find David.

No matter if he liked it or not David was his Alpha. And he would want to retaliate for his Alpha being killed. Not to mention Hannah hanging around the dungeon again. Like the love–sick puppy she is she would

want to or

revenge even more than her brother would. Taking deep breaths and summoning my courage I sneaked over to the bed. Carefully taking the pillow I slept on when I was still “allowed” in bed.

He was sleeping on his side and I needed him on his back. So I tickled. his right side hoping he would turn towards the feeling. And when he did he looked like a starfish. I realized it couldn’t have turned out better

so I sat down on his chest. Pressing my knees into his shoulder stopping him from moving. He opened his eyes surprised. When he sawsitting on top of him he smirked at me.

“Finally could not resi…” I knew what he was going to say but he would never say those words to me ever again.

Before he could finish speaking I pressed the pillow down onto his face. His breathing had already beclabored because of the weight ofon his chest. So I had expected him to die quickly but he did not He kept trashing scratching at me. Fighting against me, I felt he drew blood. We could probably both smell it, my arms got shaky and I felt myself grow tired but I knew I had to hold on so I did. It must have been about five or six minutes before he stopped thrashing. Just to be sure I sat there still pushing the pillow down on his face as I counted down two more minutes in my head. Until I was sure he was dead. Now I was a killer, at cold–blooded murderer but in the end, it was him or me. And I had to choose myself for the people I loved, the people who loved me.

I yanked the necklace of David’s still warm but lifeless body and I quickly undid the collar. The chain dragging behindwould only slowdown. There was no sense in hiding it as Jason and or Hannah would find out what I had done anyway. I just let it fall to the floor and ran to the kitchen. I had no idea if I would be able to find the

Blood Moon Pack right away and I couldn’t find David’s phone. This all meant I had no idea how soon I would be safe, and the strain of suffocating David had already lefta bit shaky and dizzy.

So I packed all the candy bars and sodas I could find in David’s backpack and then I made my way to the door of the dungeon. The door creaking startledlike it would make David calive and come after me. Or it would summon Jason to stopfrom running away. But after the creaking stopped my world was covered in silence again. Nothing was stoppingfrom climbing the raggedy ladder we needed to use to- get in and out of the dungeon.

Te

Suddenly I was outside in the dark and quiet forest with not even the birds to keepcompany. I was fairly sure the BloodMoon pack was on the left side, so that was where I started to run towards. I tried to shift but I felt I was still unable to. So it was not something about the dungeon itself that stopped me from shifting. It was something aboutand since I was not wearing any silver. The only thing I could cup with was the orange juice Jason had toldto stop drinking.

Even in my human form, I had always been quick, but it was nothing compared to my wolf form. Now the exhaustion and malnourishment of the last weeks had done a number on me. And I regretted

packing the heavy soda cans and chocolates withbecause it sloweddown.

Something I could not afford so after contemplating for a little bit I dropped the backpack. Hoping I would find the pack soon enough. I grew up in these parts and I was sure I could still find my way to the pack. Whoever the new Alpha of the BloodMoon pack was, they were appointed by the royal family and so they would tell them about the fact that the missing Princess was found.

But as I kept running and running I started to lose momentum. I was growing tired and I still hadn’t seen any sign of the pack. The sun was rising and that meant David’s corpse would soon be found by one of the siblings. I had hoped to be safe before that moment. But seeing as that wouldn’t be happening anytsoon. I decided to look for a safe place to have a bit of rest. If I could just eat the one candy bar I had kept in my pocket. And take a quick little nap I wouldn’t be so disorientated and I would be better able to find my way back. Griffin had still felt so close, so the chances were high that he was still at the BloodMoon pack trying to find a way to find me. Imaging the surprise on his face as he would get the call from the guards that I was on pack ground was what kepthopeful. And as I lay down in a shallow cave, hidden from view I whispered a quiet See you soon to the man I love. The man that I would be reunited with today.
