I had no feeling in my body apart from pain, but I won't howl. The Argents want me to call my pack and possibly a few other werewolves in the area, and they'll record my howl so they can use it again. There's no way in hell that I'm giving them that kind of power.

My eyes feel heavy, but I won't let myself pass out. I'm an alpha, and even if they just want to track down whoever is killing people, I won't let them use me to get what they want. Maybe they can make me howl in my sleep, and I can't have that. I am stronger then they are, and stronger then they think I am.

Tears run down my face and I so desperately want to beg them to stop, but I won't. I'm stronger then that. They can see me cry, but they won't see me sob or hear me beg for them to stop. When I beg, that means that I have nothing else left. I always have something else left, or at least seem like I do.

Chris Argent believes that I'm not innocent because I wasn't meant to be a werewolf, let alone the alpha of my pack. He thinks that I killed an older family member when I was turned by them or some ridiculous story like that. It's what he's telling himself so he can go against his code, and I'm going to tell him that when he comes back.

It's no surprise that Kate Argent is the one torturing me. She killed the Hale family and she killed my family too. She murdered innocent people in violent ways, along with the rest of her family, and if this doesn't stop soon then I'm going to fight back. The hunters deserve to be the hunted once again.

A yelp of pain escaped my lips as a large number of volts of electricity ran through me, forcing me to partially shift. I wanted to scream out on pain, but I won't. That's showing them how much pain they're really inflicting and I can't give them anything. I have to fight this and fight against them.

Kate Argent sighed dramatically and walked over to me. I forced myself to look human again, despite it meaning that I'll heal slower. I'm still half-human and maybe she'll be able to see that one day. Maybe she'll have to wait until I tear her throat out with my teeth. It would be self-defence, so it doesn't really matter.

"Give up yet?" I asked, my voice sounding weak. "You aren't getting anything out of me."

"I think we should try something different," Kate decided, holding up my phone. She'd taken it from me when I was unconscious, which was totally unfair. "Maybe I should call that boy you're with. Noah, is it?"

Before I could answer, a powerful howl ripped through the night air. Even Kate heard it, and she looked interested now. It wasn't an alpha's howl, but surely it had been done over the speaker system... Like the school speaker system. It must've been Scott.

With a smirk on her face, Kate unlocked my phone and went through my contacts. Unfortunately, Noah's contact name was pretty obvious that it was him because of the emojis. She pressed the button to call him and the phone began to ring. Noah picked up almost immediately, and I felt dread wash over me.

"Eliana, where are you?" He asked, immediately.

"No hello?" Kate questioned. "Or how are you? What a charmer."

"Kate Argent," Noah guessed, his voice sounding strained. "Where's Eliana? What have you done to her?"

"She can tell you herself, lover boy. Don't worry, she's not dying yet."

I didn't want to make Noah worry, but I have to tell him to go to the school and figure out who howled so loudly and why. He would panic if I didn't say anything too, and I can't do that to him. I don't even want to imagine him in such a state.

"Hey Noah," I said, trying to sound strong and failing. "Babe, go find who howled. Don't come loo-"

A scream escaped my lips as Kate Argent shocked me with a taser. I heard Noah call my name, but my head was fuzzy and my sight was blurry. He sounded worried and I knew that for sure, but it took me a few moments to regain my senses.

"Noah, I want you to find the wolf who howled and not me," I insisted, Kate Argent opting to punch me in the gut this time. I let out a groan of pain, but shook it off. "I love you. I'll be fine."

Kate was furious and threw my phone across the room, but I didn't care. I can just buy a new phone. She won't get a reaction out of me unless she forces me to shift again. She's crazy and crazy doesn't scare me.

She stormed over to me and stabbed a knife into my thigh. I let out a growl of pain, and tears forced their way out of my eyes. I want to scream so badly, but then Kate Argent will get another thing that she wants. She wants me to scream, and then she wants me to howl. There's no way in hell that I'll do either of those.

As the knife was ripped out of me, the wound began to bleed badly. I couldn't look at it without feeling sick. Normally I'm good with cuts and blood and gore, but not when I see those kind of injuries on my own body. Then I get worried and it makes me feel like I'm going to be sick.

Seething with anger, Kate Argent took out a taser and pressed it right against my stomach. The pain was hard to describe, but it's how I imagine getting struck with lightning would feel. I let out a loud yell of pain, and I wanted to scream and sob so badly, but I didn't. She won't win. She can't win this time...

"You may as well just kill me," I told her, struggling to stay conscious. "I'm never going to scream, and I'm never going to howl."

With that, I let my body succumb to the darkness. It was a lot nicer that way...
