Cici's POV

I was growing weaker each day. After what I assumed was around three weeks, I woke up to find I had been moved... I was now hanging from silver chains bolted to the ceiling of the cell I was in. I was hanging from my wrists with no other way of supporting my body, my feet were too far off the ground, so I hung there, in agony, dipping in and out of consciousness.

Being a prisoner was no easy ride... but it was even worse knowing my father was behind it.

A Few Days Later...

I had not had anything to eat or drink for a couple of days now, so they increased the injections of the drugs they were using to keep me out of it. I was far too weak to even sense what was happening anymore. Especially as they were still taking my blood from me, goddess knows what they needed it for. I know my father came down and he was whipping me, but I felt so far removed from the world that I didn't even feel the pain anymore.

Some of the other shifters were offered the luxury of walking around with the guards to keep them sane. I on the other hand didn't have this little sign of humanity extended to me... I was too much of a risk and a danger to whoever would have been walking with me. Even in the state I was in my father wouldn't underestimate me.

Capturing an Alpha born Luna was one thing. But torturing one was a whole other thing... they made sure I didn't have the slightest chance of ripping their throats out. Because if I saw it, I would take it.

I came to again to see my father's revolting face right up in mine, I knew it was a long shot but I thrust my head at him.

CRACK.

His nose broke. I was proud, I may have nothing left in me but the satisfaction of returning a fraction of the pain he was putting me and these other supernatural people through made me smile.

"You fucking, filthy little bitch!" He screamed out holding his nose as the blood flowed down his face. "You'll never get a chance like that again you mutt... I hope it was worth it. You've now made my decision to kill you now a whole lot easier. I was going to wait to see if we could find a way to kill Maya off forever, but I can't wait anymore." He laughed darkly, "make peace with your fate Cici, I'll be back soon, and I'll enjoy what I get to do!"

I closed my eyes, I started to feel the pain again and my mind felt less foggy. I realized I hadn't been injected yet today... after I hurt my father, he had dropped the injection kit on the floor of my cell and left.

I focused harder than I ever had in my life, deep in my mind I felt the slight glimmer of the mate bond I shared with Ash. I mentally grabbed onto the slithers of it I could sense and called out to him. 'Ash, my alpha, please forgive me. I was captured by a witch but know that if I could go back, I would have stayed by your side for eternity. I love you.'

'Cici?'… 'Is that you?'

Hearing his voice in my head felt like heaven and I was so glad to hear it. Focusing again I replied and hoped it would get through...

'Yes, I need you to hear me because I don't know how long I can hold onto this, I'm so drained I could pass out again soon. I am going to die, but I am not alone here, I need you and the pack to come and rescue all the supernatural's being held here with me. If I die knowing these people will be freed from my father and his witch, then I will die happy. I need you to go to my desk in our office and you will find a map I was using to work out the new territory for binding our packs. On it is a red dot, it's an underground war bunker. We are all in there. Be careful and bring a powerful witch, my fathers is too strong to be beaten by your brute force. I love you.'

'Cici, I'll be there soon, don't give up on me yet. Please hold on!'

'Cici?'

'Cici? talk to me my Luna!'

I wanted so hard to reply but I was fading out again... I just hoped he knew what to do to save the rest of these people. During that thought darkness swallowed me again.
