Damon POV:

I walked out of the cell and down the hall. Her screams and cries flooded my ears as I took each step. I tensed up, clenching my fists at my side, trying to fight the urge to turn around and run back to her, capturing her in my arms. Instead, I decided against it, causing my wolf to growl at me in response to my actions and choices.

I reached my office finally, opening the door and entering, motioning for Luca to enter and close the door behind him. I sat in my chair and faced Luca. “The execution is off. She is to remain in that cell until I’ve decided what to do with her, is that clear?” I stated firmly.

He raised a brow. “Yes, Alpha. But why is the execution off? What if she is a hunter? What if there are others with her? She could be a great threat to us and should be dealt with as soon as possible.” He stated.

I sat up straight in my chair, glaring at him. “Amelia is a mere human and poses no threat to us. She is not to be harmed in any way; do I make myself clear?” I said in a deep Alpha tone.

He squinted his eyes at me, unsure of my decisions, but nodded in agreement, knowing he couldn’t go against me or fight me.

I leaned back in my chair, breathing heavily and gripping my hair in frustration. I growled loudly and threw everything from my desk. That beautiful human is my fucking mate! My wolf was pacing circles in my head, howling to be with her. As much as I wanted to be with her, too, we couldn’t. Humans and wolves don’t mate together, ever! It was one of our most precious and abided by laws.

What the fuck am I going to do with her now? My wolf would die if I killed her, and he would never allow me to let her go, and I didn’t want to either. I’m screwed!

Amelia POV:

I had woken up hours later, after crying myself to sleep on the cold, hard floor. My wrists throbbed from the chains, my body ached from laying on the floor, and my head was pounding. I had hoped to wake up and realize that this was all just a horrible, horrible nightmare. But, to my dismay, I was still chained up in this cold and smelly cell. It was a nightmare, but not the one I had hoped to be.

I looked around for something, anything to help me break free of these chains. I could see what looked like an old rusty nail; that would work! I reached out for it, but my chains restricted me. I removed my boots and stretched my body out as far as possible, trying to reach the nail with my foot. I was so close; my big toe was almost able to get it. I stretched out just a bit more, groaning from the pain; just as my toes touched the nail, I heard the thumping of boots nearing my cell. I quickly sat back up and fixed myself, making it appear as if I was doing nothing.

A man approached my cell. He wasn’t as tall as the others or as muscular. He had bright orange hair, dull green eyes, and scars on his face. He smiled at me, revealing his chipped and discoloured teeth.

His eyes locked with mine. “Well, well, what do we have here.” He licked his lips.

I scrunched my face up in distaste.

I peered around the man’s large frame and noticed the other man’s body, lying lifeless, in a pool of blood. My eyes widened in horror as fear's icy grip took hold of me. I looked up at the man still gripping my arm; his neutral face expressed no emotions. I wiggled in his grasp and tried to back away from him, but
