"Wynter. What shall we do on our day off today?" Liz shouts.

"Honestly school has me so wore out. I just want movies, Pizza, and a nice hot relaxing bath." I tell them.

"Girl after my own heart." Charlie whispers dramatically.

"Sounds like a plan." Liz says plopping on the sofa next to me.

Charlie gets up to go get some of our favorite snacks. Twizzlers for Liz, Reese Peanut Butter Cups for Charlie, and she grabbed me my beef sticks and cubed Colby jack cheese.

"Just think girls. Only a few more classes and we will be college graduates." Liz says happily.

"Then instead of college students we will be defense lawyers." I say in response.

"The three of us, our own firm, badass bitches." Charlie chimes in.

"Come on girls, lets watch Underworld." I say turning on the movie.

I am so glad to have these girls in my life. They are my true family. My life was not the life a girl dreams about that is for certain.

I was the first born to the Alpha and Luna of our pack. Grey Moon Pack. In the beginning years life was a fairytale. Basically, like a princess story. My brother Adam was born two years after me. I loved having a little brother.

Then my thirteenth birthday came. I was so excited to shift into my wolf. Day and night passed and nothing. I was so sad. I felt empty inside. My family changed after that.

"You are wolf less. You are a failure." My mother would shout at me.

"You are a poor excuse of a daughter and an insult to those with Alpha blood." My father constantly would remind me.

My brother watched the treatment and soon began it himself. Bullying me with his friends in school. He was my biggest tormentor. After the first year my father was sick of me in his house.

"You are demoted to Omega. Get out of my face. From this day forward I no longer have a daughter." He said with such hatred towards me.

I was kicked out of my home. Well, their home. I was forced to live in the basement of the pack house. I was all alone. No family, no friends, I had nothing.

On my sixteenth birthday I was assigned the task of changing out the clothes bags in the forests for those running in wolf form who may need them. They made me do it in the middle of the night.

That night alone in the woods is when I experienced my first shift. It was the most painful thing I have ever experienced. I was no longer alone. I had my wolf. Valerie.

After high school my ex-family laid off and just stayed away from me. I started college. I wanted to be a defense lawyer. To fight for someone who deserved a second chance.

That is when I met Charlie and Elizabeth. We have been inseparable since we met. We moved to the edge of the territory. We lived in a small three-bedroom house. We didn't care though. We were together.

"What is going on in that head of yours Wynter?" Liz asks.

"How we met. How glad I am that we are best friends." I tell them.

We watched a few of the underworld movies and enjoyed each other's company. All three of us received email alerts from our school which caught us off guard.

Dear Students,

This is for all of our upcoming Graduates this year. We have a special treat in store for you. To understand the life of a criminal and your journey ahead of people you will either be trying in the court of supernatural law or defending. Wednesday and Thursday this week we will be taking you on an educational journey.

Make sure to pack a bag, you will be staying overnight. This will be an experience like no other graduates.

We will be going to Frostbitten Prison.

The first night you will be given a tour of the facility. The complete tour. Seeing some of the most infamous criminals in our history to date. Along with the Sadistic Kane. The second day you will be in a section with no prisoners. You will live the life of a prisoner for a full night and half of the next day.

This is where you get to walk a mile in the other shoes. To experience what they live through. This will motivate you to defend those clients as if your life is theirs.

"What the actual fuck!" I shout to the others.

"This is bizarre." Charlie states.

"Well we are wanting to be Defense attorneys. What better way then seeing it from prisoner perspectives." Liz states.

"I am taking a bath looks like we have a few adventurous days ahead of us." I say heading to the bathroom.

I turn on the hot water and let the bubbles rise to the top. I sink my body in the hot water. My muscles relaxing instantly.

I knew Liz was right by getting the other sides perspective on why we are doing what we are doing but still, Frostbitten Prison.

This was not your ordinary prison. This was for the worst of the worst. Twenty-four-hour lockdown. The stories of that prison would make even the bravest of brave cower before it.

Several prisoners, I done brief essays on for my defense classes. I remember two prisoners I honestly think have a shot at an appeal. What were their names. Benson, no Jensen and Brian. Yeah that is their names.

I think the case, if I remember correctly, was murdering an entire pack. They say Brian hired Jensen to murder the Alpha and his family and assist in the killing of the rest of the pack.

There was barely any evidence. Only the fact that Brian and the Alpha were not on the best of terms. And signs of a vampire. I never seen how they pinpointed those two out. I don't quite understand how they could have been convicted on circumstantial evidence.

Then there is the infamous Kane. His files are completely sealed. The only thing anyone can get their hands on is the charges he was convicted of.

It says he murdered like three entire packs. Spared no lives. Over a thousand innocent souls taken. Men, women, and even the children. They say he was merciless and savage.

Then the stories. Everyone likes good horror stories about someone like that. The story our pack had was that he was cursed at birth by the moon goddess.

Born with a savage wolf who craved blood. Killing his entire family and even his own mate. That anyone who crossed his path would be killed in a matter of seconds. That if he found a female she-wolf attractive, he would first have his way with her before killing her.

The stories would terrify anyone. Supernatural or human. I have learned through my years to never go by the words of others. They say he started killing as a teenager and wasn't caught until he was eighteen years old.

They say it took an entire army to capture and contain him. He has been in Frostbitten Prison for almost a decade. That is where he will live until he dies.

The water begins to turn cold. I take that as my cue to get out. A bath is always so rejuvenating.

I usually sleep naked. I cover myself in a robe and wrap my hair as I finish my nightly routine. My skin is a top priority.

I climb into my bed with nothing but the prison on my mind. I am completely nervous about being basically locked up with dangerous criminals. On the other hand, I will be doing a lot of research for my work. It's a difficult situation with many confused emotions.

'Black eyes. Staring into my soul. I felt scared but also drawn to them. So many things lying behind those eyes. Anywhere I moved those eyes followed me. My head was telling me to run but my heart. My heart was telling me to stay.

Confliction within myself. I couldn't see anything else of the person only those black eyes. I wanted to see more. Know more. They held so much power in them. Pain. So many different things. I felt intrigued like I needed to peel back the layers and find out what they were.'

I woke from my slumber. The clock read 2:35 a.m. Those eyes. It felt so real. What am I kidding? I am just nervous. I curl back in bed hoping for a dreamless sleep.
