Ele—na—

Elena—

“Elena. Listen to mommy. Don’t come out of here no matter what you hear or see.” 

My eyes snapped open quickly and my body tried to jump up into a defensive position but I wobbled on my feet as pain shot through my head. I blink a couple times trying to take in my surroundings and I realize that I’m still in Mikhail’s bedroom but I’m all alone. How long had I been out for? Was I still dreaming? I walk towards the door and try to open it only to find that it’s locked. My heart squeezes in my chest, “This is real—“ I say to myself as if this whole time I had believed it to have been a dream but no it had really happened. Mikhail was now being held as a prisoner and I was locked away in this stupid room. What about everyone else? Had they taken the other Enforcers too? What about Sasha?And Victor, did they know we had him chained up underground? My heart starts to races and I start trying to open the door again, shaking it violently but not being able to get it open. 

“DAMN IT!” I growl loud and then run my hands through my hair anxiously trying to find some way to get out of this room. Okay think Elena, you’ve survived this long. You can figure out something. There has to be someway to escape this room and get to everyone. I quickly looked around and the fear of everything that was happening creeping into my mind deeper and deeper, until my body was shaking. They’re going to kill Mikhail. If they think he’s a spy they are going to kill him. my chest began to clench tightly and I found it harder to breathe. My wolf growled in the back of my mind, We will save our mate.  Her words helped drive the fear away and I slowly regained control. She was right this time I wouldn’t hide while the people I loved were killed. I wasn’t a defenseless child anymore. 

I began to rip the room apart looking for anything I could use to possibly wedge the door open. When I heard the faint sounds of screaming. My body stilled and walked slowly towards the bedroom door pressing my ear to it, using my sensitive hearing to listen. Suddenly it wasn’t faint screaming it was loud and it was terrifying. Oh my god, we’re being attacked. I slowly backed away from the door when I heard the front door pop open and footsteps coming closer to the bedroom. There was a loud boom and the door shook violently and then I heard the sound of hissing and snarling. I stood frozen in place staring at the only thing keeping me from what was going on outside of the room. 

Suddenly the door is flying open and wood is splinting. My eyes open wide as to find a dead vampire lying on the floor in front of me and Dante standing in the door way breathing heavily, “Elena, we need to go now.” He says snapping me out of my daze. I quickly walk around the dead body toward Dante, “What’s going on?” I ask. Dante grabbed onto my hand and started leading out of the house in a hurry, “I’m not sure honestly. All I know is suddenly we were under attack by vampires and rouges. We need to get everyone out of here. Something about all of this feels planned and I don’t like that.” I nod my head as he continues to pull me outside of the house and around it into the shadows, “So we’re going to go get Mikhail then?” I ask with desperation. 

Dante gives my a serious expression, “I’m going to go get the stupid bastard and you are going to go where we are stashing Victor. You’ll be safe there. Once I have Mikhail and the other’s we’ll come for you two.” I bite my lip nervously about the fact that I wasn’t going to be going with him to get Mikhail. 

“Elena, its very important that you do what I am telling you, do you understand?” I let out a deep breath and nod my head. I hear the sound of snarling wolves and look out to see a pair of rouges cornering a innocent wolf. Dante swears under his breath before pulling out a gun he had tucked in the back of pants and firing it at the rogues. He hits on of them and it goes down with a whimper. The other Rogue looks toward the shadows where we hid and growled. “Shit—“ he cursed again

“Elena!” I look back to Dante and his eyes burn into mine, “Run. Go now. I’ll create a distraction for you.” 

I hesitate for a moment before my legs start carrying me away from the scene. Memories from my past are racing through my mind and I can feel wetness on my face and I know that I’m crying but I keep running just as Dante had commanded me too. I was worried about everyone from the looks of everything it was clear that this had all been planned and they were going to try and frame Mikhail for it. Why? Why did they want to get rid of Mikhail so bad? It just didn’t make any sense. My body is falling to the grown and there is pain shooting up the right side of my body. I groan as try to gain focus over what is happening. I look to see the Beta standing there breathing heavily as nasty little grin on his face, “Where do you think you're going little she-wolf? Trying to save your friends?" I pull myself up off the ground cringing at the pain in my side he must have bruised my ribs. He watches me with amusement, "You should be less concerned about them right now. You should start worrying about what I'm going to do you once I get my hands on you. If I remember correctly, I told you I was going to kill you.” He laughs a little and a shiver races through me but my need to survive was stronger, “Go to hell.” I say as my eyes flash to silver and my canines elongate getting ready for battle. 

He lunges at me  fast as he pulls something out of his pocket. I steady myself ready to take the brunt of it but then I feel something pierce the skin of my shoulder and it feels like he injected acid into my veins. My eyes go back to normal and my teeth retract as I let out a loud scream of agony as I fall my knees. Every pulse of my heart seems to circulate the acid through my body and soon my writhing and on the ground under him in pain. Biting my lip to keep from crying out, “Silver is extremely painful poison to us while also makes us unable to connect with our other self. It’s a bitch I’ve heard but it’s effective when dealing with an unruly wolf—“ I stare up at him my eyes watering from the pain making it seem like I was crying, “Don’t worry love, I’m not going to kill you yet. First I’m going to have some fun and then I’m going to kill you.” 

He crotches down next to me and then leans down and presses his lips to my neck. I feel like I want to throw up in my mouth. My mind is screaming for me to fight him of but I can’t even move because the pain from the silver is so intense. I feel my self let out a tiny whimper from the back of my throat and now my eyes really are filling up with my emotions. His teeth nip at my skin and I turned my head away the pain shooting through me more. “You know I can see your mate’s mark but I know he hasn’t claimed you fully because his scent isn’t on you.” and I understand what he plans to do and despite the pain I try to struggle with him, “NO!” My voice comes out hoarse and not as loud as I want it. 

His hand covers my mouth and I frantically shake my head back and forth as his free hand moves down my body. His touch makes me wince as he grabs my breast hard. I bite the hand covering my mouth as hard as I can I know it’s not the same as my wolf form. He curses and pulls his hand back, “You little bitch!” He slaps me so hard across the face that I see black spots for a moment. Then his hands are around my throat choking me. I try my hardest to move my hands up to where his are laced around my neck but the silver is draining me of all my energy, “Die you stupid whore! I can’t believe you were supposed to be some mighty Luna. Mother of wolves. Looks like you’re about to be the mother of dirt and earth worms to me.” He laughs to himself half crazed as he tightens his hold further. Things start to grow dark when I hear a loud snarl behind us. The Beta looks up and his eyes open wide and his hold on my neck loosens a bit. 

I see a flash of brown before the Beta is ripped off my body. I am coughing and gasping for air as I look to see the giant brown wolf rip the Beta’s head clean from his body. I quickly look away from the sight feeling like I might throw up. I closed my eyes and press my face into the cool dirt in hopes of taking away some of the pain. A hand touches me on the arm and cringe until I hear a familiar voice, “Elena?” I open my eyes and turn slowly to see the boy who I had been helping the whole time I had been here. My eyes open wide, “You just saved my life—“ I say my voice still hoarse but the pain was being to subside a bit. His eyebrows drew together, “Yeah." 

I cover his hand with mine, "Thank you--" I could cry I'm so happy to not be dead. 

"Are you okay? Can you stand up?” he asks me. 

I shake my head, “I don’t think I can right now. He stuck me with silver.” The boys eyes darkened for a moment and he let out a growl and than he reached out and scooped me up into his arms which surprised me because I clearly remember him looking pretty scrawny the other day, “Where were you headed?” He asks me with a serious expression. I look at him still in shock, “To Victor. Dante told me to wait for him, Mikhail and the others there. I’ll tell you how to get there.” He nods his head and starts running with me in his arms like it was nothing. 

“You’re strong—“ I say absentmindedly. I hear a tiny snort, “After I shifted for the first time I guess you could say my wolf and I got a lot stronger. Now I know what I’m supposed to do—“  I look up at him curiously, “What’s that?” 

“I have to find the Supreme Alpha and protect him. He’s near by. My wolf can sense it—“ The shy boy from before was gone and the person helping me was completely changed. He and I really were the same all along I guess. We weren't rogues, we were something completely else.
