Jade sat in the corner of her cell with her knees to her chest watching as the little blood she had left in her body made its way down her arm. Beta Lane had just shoved her back into her cell for the night. Her dad, Alpha West had just finished his daily beating of her. Jade looked around her room and wondered how she had survived this long in this hell of hers.

It's okay Jade. Just keep holding on.

Jade heard her wolf, Ember, weakly say to her.

We are getting out of here I promise you.

Jade rolled her eyes towards her wolf's comments. There was no way out of this hell and they both knew it. As Jade watched the blood from her arm begin to dry up she began to close her eyes, this was her only escape;sleep.

The next morning she was awaken by Lane dragging her by her hair, something she had gotten use to over the years, because of that she didn't yell or scream in pain. It was time for her to go outside and sit in the sun. Everyday her father assigned Lane to take Jade out in the sun for about an hour so she would not go too crazy being in the dark all the time.

Such a caring man

Regardless of everything Jade smirked at Ember's comment as Lane sat her outside. This was Jade's favorite time of day, she hated how bright everything around her was but this time of day the wind would be strong and she's get a whiff of something. Something intoxicating that is. The smell came from the North, past her dad's territory. It smelled of pine, wood, and a hint of something like that of the ocean. The smell came around the same time every day and overtime she was allowed out and it was the only thing she looked forward to. As she sat there on the ground taking in the smell that had come around again she didn't hear as her father exited the building to go sit by her. He sat next to her and looked out through the trees sighing.

"Beautiful."

Jade rolled her eyes as she heard his voice and tried picking herself up to move away from him, she would want to be anywhere but near him. Alpha West looked over to his daughter and saw her weak frame trying to move away from him. He grabbed out to her squeezing her already fragile shoulder making her stay where she was.

"Sit you mutt."

Jade looked to him in his eyes, and he the same, and with as little saliva as she could get from her dehydrated mouth spit in his face then smirked never breaking eye contact. Her father smiled as he wiped it away. He continue looking at her before his hand crashed to the side of her face smacking the young she-wolf on the ground.

"LANE!" He called out

Lane ran outside and over to his Alpha.

"Yes Alpha?"

"Take her back to her cell."

"Yes Alpha."

Without another word he waited till Alpha West went back inside before picking Jade up bridal style and brought her back to her cage. Leaving her with a bottle water hidden in a ratty blanket that was in her cell.

The days went on like that, they quickly turned to weeks, soon leading to months. Jade had not been outside in over a month and was beginning to get restless and possibly a little bit crazy. The only thing she could think of was the smell she had been missing since she's been locked up in her cell. Everyday she watched a small glimpse of light coming from the door once you go up the stairs. She began counting how long it the door stayed open and concluded that everyday it was open for exactly three minutes.

We can make a run for it.

Jade could not help but question her wolf. That had to be the dumbest idea, there was no way she could make it in her condition.

Let me take over. I'll make sure we leave. We never have to return here. Please try.

Jade sat there contemplating, if Beta Lane or her dad had found her trying to leave who knows what could happen to her, or how baldy injured she could get. On the other hand she may get out, she may be able to get free.
