Chapter Nine

[P.O.V. Zyston Woods]

Karma, everything that we do Karma comes back and bites us ten times harder. Throughout the years I have lived, I have always done the torture. Now I am on the other side and being torture. I have been beaten, electrocuted, stab, carved into, have broken bones, and so much more.

I have been here what seems forever, but in reality. I only have been here one and a half fucking months; I barely feel alive. During these months, I haven't heard or felt anything from Travis and Stryker. They are fighting their own torture, the poison I'm injected with every day. Because of this, my connection between the Pack and Adriana is disconnected.

During this time, I have felt what it is like to be mortal. It like Mother Moon is testing to see how strong I am without my beasts. To see if I can survive this or not, or maybe something bigger. Also, during this time, I have been trying to plan away to get out of this place.

If I'm not on the torture table, I'm chained in a small cell. A cell so small is hard for a small child to move around. Next to that cell is the traitor Xander Mills locked in his own cell. He keeps asking me for his forgiveness and begs me not to banish him from the pack. That he has a family that needs him, and I say nothing to him during his begging and pleading. I have no words to say to a wolf that betrays his pack, especially his Alpha and Luna.

Kneeling on my knees with my head being forced in a huge and deep bucket of ice-cold water, almost dead. Instead of getting that satisfaction, my head gets pulled up out of the water. Being tossed on the stone floor, coughing up water and gasping for air. My lungs feel like they were on fire.

"Having fun yet? little brother." Alexander asks proudly and amusingly.

"Why don't just kill me already.." Answering back in a loud whisper.

"Well, since you are never going to escape from here, I might as well tell you why." Pulling a chair up, he sits down right in front of me. Two guards holding me up on my knees. "In a month and a half, the purple moon will rise. What so important about this moon? It was the same moon that rose in the night sky all those years ago. When the first war happened, and all the Kingdom's fell. We both know the story of what happened. The Luna Queen destroyed the Dark King body... yada yada yada... Anyway, what the God's and Goddess forgot to mention. Is that the war would happen again with the same moon. This rare and special moon has the power to bring back the Dark King, as it can destroy him. The Dark King is stuck between the dead and the living. Because of this, he needs a new body to live back in the living. He can take anybody he wants... Why can't I kill you? Because he has chosen your body as his new body. For some sick revenge, he has against your Moon Goddess." Talking like his clever, he finishes with a huge smile on his face.

The sounds of heels clicking on the stone floor. A woman was standing right behind Alexander with her hand on his shoulders. Seeing her face again, I was furious, no longer feeling completely dead. 'You have got to be fucking kidding me.'

"Once the Dark King takes over your body, then you can finally die. After your out of the way, the Dark King will take your precious Luna Whore as his Queen. Holding up his end of the deal, he will take over the lands and destroying every supernatural life." Evanora finishes with vixens like tone and smile. She walks over to me, kneeling to my level. Touching my bruised and naked chest sexually. Putting her lips close to my right ear.

"That not even the best part. In two days, some of the Dark Army will be on the footstep of your door. Without their future Alpha King there to guide them. The Dark Army will destroy every last Werewolf, Dragon, and Creature created by the Moon Goddess. Weakening the new Kingdom that supposes to rise. Along with obliterating the Moon Goddess Kingdom. Saving your Luna for our future King. Just imagine all the things he will do to her in bed and out. The best irony about it he will be in your body." She whispers in my ear, seductively sucking and nipping on my earlobe. This is one of those moments I wish I could rip her throat out. The way she is talking about my Pack, especially about my Mate. Pressing my cheek against her's whispering back.

"I now see why Vincent dumped your ass; you're beyond psychotic. Not to even mention your a complete whore. Answer me this? Is that how you got your high rank in your army? Whoring around? If so, don't worry, I think Alexander already knows your secret." Asking and telling her venomously. She stands up and slaps my face hard. It echoed in this stone room. Her nails scratching my cheek deeply.

"Fuck you! Zyston Woods!" She says defensively and furiously.

"I'm sure you would." Earning another slap across the other cheek. Alexander laughs at Evanora's humility. She glares at me angrily and attacks me. Wrapping her hands around my skull, getting ready to gouge my eyes out. Before she could, Alexander stops her.

"Evanora! Remember the body your attacking." Warning her, she removed her hands off me. She huffs and storms out of the cell. "Playtime is over! Give him one more drowning and put him back in his cell!" Forcing my head back in the water.

"Zyston.." A faint voice says in my mind. "This is taking a lot of my strength to communicate with you. Travis and I heard what they said, so we have been talking. We have come up with a plan to get us out of here. The thing is we need you to agree with it as well." Stryker says.

"Do it!" Agreeing without knowing the plan.

"Don't you want to know what the plan is first?"

"No, do it! I'm done being there torture guinea pig. I want to protect our pack and, most of all, Adriana."

"Alright, None of us really have a whole lot of strength. I will be draining some of your, and Travis's strength will make you feel even weaker. Give me an hour or two, and we will be busting out of this joint."

Pulling my head back out of the water, they drag me back to my cell. Tossing me to the floor like a rag doll. From everything going on, exhaustion took over my body.

"Zyston...Zyston...." Stryker waking me up. "Get up. It time to bust out of here."

Trying to lift my body off the ground, it felt as huge boulder was weighing me down. Standing up and holding onto the cell bars for support.

"Now, we need to make a huge commotion and get the guards to unlock our cell."

"How in hell am I suppose to do that?" Asking him, a little annoyed. Before he could say anything, the idea pop into my head. Looking over towards Xander, he was hugging his legs tight to him, looking down.

"Do you still want to redeem yourself?" Asking the boy with a ruff voice. His head pops up quickly.

"Yes, Alpha," Xander says respectfully.

"Good, wild up the prisoners. We need to catch the guard's attention."

"Yes, Sir." He gets up off the floor and starts banging on the cells, rhyming some rhyme about Alexander on how he sucks. Everyone else joins in with him. Making a huge commotion, the guards came down, yelling at everyone to be quiet. Once everyone calmed down, the guards start asking you started it.

"I did it!" Claiming that I started it.

"Oh, the big Alpha King thinks he's funny, does he? Well, he won't anymore after he is torture." One of the guards says.

Walking over to my cage rapidly before he could open my cell door. Putting my right arm through the bars. Wrapping my arm around his throat, choking him when he got close enough. The other guards attack me through the bars trying to get me off him. Finally, letting him go, he falls to the floor gasping for air.

"I'm gonna teach you a damn good lesson." He threatens me. Getting up quickly, he unlocks the door. Pulling me out of my cell, beating me with their sticks. Before one more could hit me, Stryker takes control, holding up our hand, and catches the stick. My eyes no longer mine, but his Stryker looks up at the guard, the same one we choked.

"It's... not..p..possible.." The guard stutters. Smiling mischievously at him, standing up and ripping the stick out of hand. Stryker letting out his growl; the other guards try attacking us again. This time we attack them back.
