Blaire's POV

The man kept telling me I was his mate. After explaining how and why, he left. He even dared touching me, he kissed my cheek! It was disgusting. Though, he did tell me food would be on its way... Thank goodness. I'm starving. Though, I did not talk to him, he never said anything about that. Thankfully I guess.

A woman walks in carrying a tray full of a meal. The woman doesn't look very... Good? You can see all her bones and she has big bruises on her exposed skin. Her hair is tatted and up in a messy ponytail. And she has no shoes.

She places the food down on the table and bows her head a little.

"What are you doing?" I frown.

"Bringing you your food miss." She says, her voice sounding somewhat fearful.

"Why do you look... Like that?"

She looks up at me in disbelief and then a sorry look floods her eyes. "We aren't treated very well here..." She says quietly.

"We?" I frown.

"Yes. There's many more of us." She nods.

"What's your name?" I tilt my head, sliding out of the big bed.

"Katy, miss." She replies. I walk over and pick up the grapes.

"Help yourself." I push the tray towards her as I eat the grapes happily. It's not like I could finish everything on the platter anyway. She looks like she could use some food.

"I can't miss, I would be punished." Katy says quietly.

"No one has to know." I shrug.

Katy pauses before slowly proceeding to eat some of it. I smile and finish my grapes. The plate doesn't contain any more fruit so I go sit on the bed.

"You aren't eating anymore, miss?" Katy frowns.

"It's Blaire. Not miss..." I sniff, 'it's Darren.'

"Sorry Blaire... Are you alright?"

"Fine." I mumble.

"We all miss our packs." Katy says softly. "It's okay to cry, so long as it isn't in front of the men."

"I miss Darren." I whimper, bringing my knees up to my chest.

"We all miss our mates and our families." Katy says softly, walking over and rubbing my back gently. "I'll be back sometime later to help get you ready for dinner." She promises before having the leave the room.

So... What am I supposed to do? I realize I had been changed out of my old clothes into new ones. I scrunch up my nose at the plain gray dress. Why am I in this? Better question... Who changed me?

The thought of that mans hands on me makes me want to puke.

I walk into the bathroom attached to the room and look around. There's nothing in here besides extra toilet paper. Not even a toothbrush! How do I brush my teeth? Darren told me we always have to brush our teeth...

It's an extremely boring few hours, with some crying. I miss Darren. So, so much. There's this big hope in my chest that gets bigger and more painful the more I think of him. I'm able to stop crying before Katy comes back, carrying a dress.

"Ready mi- Blaire?" Katy asks. She looks worse than when I had first seen her. And it had only been a few hours...

"I guess..." I frown. The dress is a weird purple colour. Katy helps me into it. I look at myself in the mirror. The dress is kinda old fashioned, a corset back. Making my waist look really small and my breasts pushed up in a weird way. My skin looks white next to the dark velvety purple. My eyes shining a bright blue against the dark purple too, my hair looking black instead of brown in this lighting. It's messy too, but I can't do anything about that now.

"I don't like it." I hiss. "And no shoes?"

"It doesn't matter, they'll punish you if you don't wear it." Katy replies softly. "And we aren't allowed shoes. Now, be strong in there okay? No matter what they put you through, you have to stay strong for your mate and your pack. I heard you're a Luna."

I nod, offering the smallest of smiles. Katy leads me out through dark halls. We get to a big room. Like... Like a big dining room? Many tables. Everyone stops when I walk in and drink in the looks of everyone. Mostly men, a few women. They all look gross and mean.

The tables have long dirty red table cloths and white wax candles along them. They're full of food, meat mostly.

My 'mate' whose name I still don't know, stands and gestures me over. Katy gives me a gentle push and I stumble slightly. My feet feel like bricks as I start my way over to him, all eyes on me. The hard ground feels so cold on my bare feet.

"Blaire, my doll," he smiles the icky smile and pulls out a chair for me beside him. "Sit. And enjoy our meal."

I do so quietly and he fills my plate with things. Lots of meat, no fruit and only a small piece of bread. The area starts to get noisy from conversation. My heart sinks at the thought of having to stay here forever. There's no way I could do this every night.

"Doll, eat before I punish you." The man growls in my ear, grabbing my neck and squeezing. I gasp in pain and suddenly I can't breathe. "Eat."

As soon as he lets go, I start to eat. His breath reeks but that hand... He could have killed me. He could have just squeezed until I could no longer breathe.

Everything that passes through my mouth is tasteless, and at one point, I almost throw up. But I know if I did that, the man would hurt me. He wouldn't just grab my neck either, he would really hurt me.

Finally my plate is empty, my stomach clenching in pain. I had never eaten so much before, it really hurts. Darren never forced me to eat too much...

"Let's talk business Blaire." The man says. I stay silent, not making eye contact with him. "Listen here doll," he grabs my face and my eyes snap to his. "You look at me when I speak to you."

"Y-Yes, sir." I whisper.

"She speaks." He chuckles, letting go. "Good. You know how to show some form of respect. Now, I don't know what Darren told you, but he is not your mate. That was fake. Miss Blaire, you are mine."

"B-but, sir-" I stumble over my speech.

"Do not interrupt me!" A sharp clap rings through the air and suddenly my cheek stings. He just hit me... I bite the inside of my cheek to keep myself from crying out when it does it a second time. "Blaire in three days time, we are mating. And we will have a strong child. If you bare me a female, you will be both killed. Now, KATY!" He calls.

Katy runs over. "Yes, sir?"

"Take Blaire back to our chambers." He says, grabbing my arm and throwing me to her. I will definitely have a bruise there...

"Of course, sir." Katy bows her head and takes me back to the room. My mind races and at the same time it's still.

Where is Darren?

Where is my wolf?

Did they stop caring? They want me to suffer? Where are they? Darren is my mate. I know he is. So where is he when I really need him.

I end up throwing up back at the room. The events that follow are just a blur. Katy cleans it, helps me out of the dress and puts me to bed. I fall asleep within seconds, not even realizing I had been so tired.

Darren is the last thing on my mind before I pass out.

Darren's POV

"ITS BEEN TWO DAYS!" I yell at Erik.

I've been a mess. With Blaire gone, nothing is right.

I haven't slept, I couldn't. Not with her not there. Not knowing that she had gotten hurt that first night. I felt it, on my neck, my face, my arm. They hurt her!

"The other packs are ready. We've almost pinpointed them." Erik says, clearly trying to be calm for my sake.

"They still have my baby," I whisper, looking at the map on my desk.

We were so close yet so far.

"I know Darren. But it will be okay." Erik promises. "They... Haven't hurt Blaire again have they?"

"They have." I growl. "Just little things. They-" I take a deep breath, my wolf dying to come out. "They choke her, hit her. But I can't link her. I can feel pricks sometimes, and her fear. Right before that, I can almost get to her, but then it's gone. They're giving her something to keep her wolf down."

"How far is she?"

"Far."

I close my eyes and rub my temples.

It's been hell here, for everyone. Simply because I can't pull myself together.

But without Blaire... I'm nothing. She was the good in me, the one who could stop me from lashing out at everyone. My rock, as stupid as that sounds.

But I also helped her. We helped each other.

She has this good, kind heart and childish soul. And I miss her so much. It's like a piece of me had been stolen.

Erik freezes for a moment. "The trackers have something..." He says slowly.

"What?" I narrow my eyes, my wolf ready to go.

"Hold on..." Erik closes his eyes.

I didn't let anyone mind link me. I took everything from Erik or Wesley. One of them was always there to fill me in.

I didn't want anyone to catch the thoughts of Blaire.

"Darren... Darren we found her." Erik says, his voice so quiet.

"Where!? Get everyone ready! Inform the other packs! Now!" I growl loudly, my wolf so happy. We know where she is... She won't have to be alone much longer.

"She's..." Erik walks over and points to a spot on the map. It's about a small packs territory away from us.

"But there's no building there!" I yell.

"They're underground." Erik explains.

"We're gonna go kill some rogue ass tonight." I growl. "We'll be there soon Blaire..."
