"Are you sure we did the right thing?" Jackson asked me. My poor mate, still doesn't understand what leadership is.

There's too many options to choose from before you actually take the fall yourself. In this case, that little tramp was his.

"No." I replied. I had to be blunt with him, sugar coating things wouldn't help one bit. "But we did what was necessary in order to protect our pack from a delusional and very dangerous man."

Jackson's handsome face contorted with both worry and guilt. I siddled to his side where his tense form stood facing the large window behind his desk. The window offered a magnificent view of our pack grounds along with our gardens but I could tell my mate wasn't exactly enjoying the view, instead overthinking the night's events.

Hugging him from behind, I mumbled into his back. "Look on the bright side my love, we saved our little boy from a disastrous mating." Silence. "Or would you rather he mate the little slut?" That got a reaction.

"That is 18 years of age," He spat the words with much dis-taste, swiftly ripping out of my arms as he turned. "HE should make his own damn decisions and YOU need to stop coddling him!"

"I only acted in the pack's best interest, it would be the end of Canyon if she were to lead alongside JJ. Think about it, they'd need only to bed his loose mate to destroy him!" I argued, holding his face in my hands.

"HE should've protected his mate. instead of humiliating us and cowering like a kid. What the hell are we sending him to LASN for?!" He yelled, his wolf already surfacing. I knew he'd sooner ask for JJ and there'd be real trouble then. No, I couldn't let him, not now.

"A little hypocritical of you to say that don't you think, Jack?" Guilt tripping him shall do it. "After all, it was you who handed the incriminating book over to Emmery, sealing the girl's fate and you expect our son, whose not even an Alpha yet, to save her from your actions?"

He sighed, his eyes screaming defeat as they, alone, seeked assurance from my own.

There, no anger in sight.

"Sit." I instructed softly while spinning his chair around for him. My wolf wouldn't allow me to order him about because even though he is our mate, he's still an Alpha.

He dropped into the chair tiredly, his hand covering his eyes whilst resting his elbow on one arm of the chair.

"So, what now?" He asked peaking at me through his fingers. So adorable, but I prefer him less worried. I set to work on distracting him from his thoughts by massaging his tense shoulders. "What do you mean?" I asked to his question.

"What do we do with the girl? She can't stay in the cells forever and there are no real charges."

"Honey we are in charge, we can charge her however we want." The chair nearly hit me with how quick Jackson spun to give me an incredulous look.

I said that, didn't I?

"ImeanAlphaEmmerywantedtodealwithherinhisownway... so- we um- give him what he wants!" I retracted quickly, hoping he'd let it go.

"And?" But he didn't. "What if he hurts the chil-"

"Aaaand, in less than an hour we hand her over to Emmery, then she'll be off our hands, now hush!" I said straddling him while my hands found trail to his lower region, successfully quieting his endless questions.

~~~~~

The cells they took me to, the basement cells, were horrible! They smelled of rotting flesh and stale sickness, I almost threw up when the disgusting scent hit my nose full force upon entry. This prison was a freaking insult to our race, the cells (if one could call them that) were nothing more than cages for slightly larger dogs, you practically had to fold yourself in half just to get in, or rather crawl in. There was an uncomfortable looking 'bed' that had no bedding whatsoever, the only thing in present in abundance here were the freakishly large mice that kept scaring the daylights out of me.

Now sitting on the floor with my head tucked in my knees I started thinking, thinking about everything. From how this week began to how I found my mate and got arrested in one day. There were no warning signs, nothing and right now I dreaded what they'll do to me, especially since Emmery seemed too keen about this punishing business.Honestly, none was better than the other; not Emmery who thinks I played him and not Alpha and Luna who'd burn me at the stake.

"Wake up hottie, your date's arrived!" Said one sickly cheery guard whilst clanking his heavy baton against the bars to my cell. The noise had me covering my sensitive ears while unlocked my cell with an annoying cackle, obviously proud of his work. I crouched out of the damn cell before quickly fixing down my dress at his shameless leering gaze then turned away, uncomfortable at spending a second longer in his presence.

SMACK!

His hand came down hard on my ass, making me jump away in shock. "That's damn tight" He mumbled dazedly before walking off in front me as if he hadn't just harassed me, really?!

He must've noticed I wasn't following cause he turned back, rolling his eyes before pulling me with. "I'm sorry but that's all you get right now babe, so don't be like that." Is he alright in the head?

"Faster hottie, the others need my attention too see?" He said pointing to wolves in many other rows of cells. Their sight made my stomach churn; they looked starved and sick. Their skin leathery and grey yet their lifeless eyes looked haunted. These wolves, rogues, were beyond tortured.

I wondered if I was actually looking at my future in this place.

He rushed me through a narrow passage and soon the view on our sides turned from those disgustingly unsanitary cells to dull, clinical seeming rooms. They were just white and plain on the outside with only a three digit room number for identity. What scared me was the hysteric screams coming from within some of the doors.. so tortured and in pain they had me unconsciously huddling closer to the prison guard. "Oh don't do that, you're already taken hottie,.wait until after the date before you run into my arms OK?" He said pushing away from him.

I carried on walking to my fate.

"Here, your destination love." He said pointing his baton to room 059. "Hey, if it doesn't work out you know where to find me." I just stood there quaking in my shoes, afraid of what awaited me behind the door. "Have fun hottie!" The guard said turning to leave, but not before blowing me a kiss.

I twisted the handle and, lo and behold my worst nightmare, Emmery.

He looked up at me from a table that looked it belonged in a horror movie, and the bloody room a torture chamber from that movie. The scary bed had two silver cuff holds on each corner at the top AND bottom. This table was made to cause someone real pain and the giant had been leaning against it so... casually.

"I've been waiting for you Darling." He said, yet his eyes were anything but the welcome tone in his voice.

I didn't move any further into the eerily barren room, I could even spot some suspicious dark spots on the wall by the scary bed.

Dorned in a dark blue robe, he approached me; wasting no time he gripped my forearm in his hand and my fear spiked to a new high, practically stealing my voice. I wasn't really expecting him to be here in person, maybe his servant with clear instructions as to how I'll be punished yes, just not him. He was feared by everyone, including Alphas all over, what made them think it was safe to leave me alone with him?! "What are you gonna do to me?" I asked, my shaky voice nearly a whisper.

He lowered himself to my level whilst shrugging off his robe. Looking into my eyes with a crazed stare he replied.

"I'm gonna make your wishes come true, little girl."

It was then that I noticed he was naked all over, then that I realised what that restraint table was for and why him and I were alone in this room.

Then that I really began to struggle.

"No!" I thrashed in his grip, using my free hand to bang on the door behind me. "Let me out! Please! Somebody!" I even clawed at his hands to which he just scoffed before tightening his hold on me, nearly crushing my wrist. "Let me go, stop!"

"Pathetic!" He spat, not minding how he bled from my scratches.

"Let me out of here!" I frantically banged my fists on the door again, thrashing wildly and kicking my feet but the giant almost moaned in... pleasure? By the gods he is enjoying this!!

"Help! Alpha Jackson! JJ! Anybody!" I didn't stop until he clamped his free hand over my mouth, slamming my head hard against the door "Knock it out dammit!" I momentarily lost focus of my surroundings, nearly collapsing from the hit.

"You think now of all times you can pretend you don't want me? huh?!" I shook my aching head no as tears of fright and maybe acceptance made their way down my cheeks. "I didn't do an-anything I swear" I cried weakly "They lied, they lied..". He got angrier at that, letting me go just to backhand me, my head was again smacking into the door from the force.

"What about the way you were rubbing yourself against me all night huh?! I'm only reciprocating your advances ." With that he grabbed and threw my slacking body onto the metal table, spread my feet and hands apart before cuffing them to the table, leaning his huge form above mine. "You've been after this, now shut up and take it!"

"Owwww Emmery you're hurting me please STOP---No!!!!" I screamed as he tore my dress off, then TEARING into me with his giant member.

"I'm sorry! Please-- Stop.... it hurts!"

The man ruthlessly ripped my virginity, along with my soul, apart.

And all through dawn, my cries of help went ignored as hit after hit rained down my restrained body whilst the giant choked me, taking me against my will.
