-Sienna-
Out on my afternoon jog about halfway threw I start to feel a weird sense of foreboding. The air feels harsh and the woods seem abnormally quiet. Trying to shake the feeling I think of my uncle tonight is his night to make dinner, so it's going to be good I can already taste the delightful potatoes he makes for me every week. Just about 1 week and I'll be eighteen. My fist shift will happen then and my wolf is already preparing me for it. My wolfs name is Opal we have been together since I was sixteen, all wolves meet at sixteen then have there first shift at 18, When you get your wolf you also get the chance to find your mate.
A mate is like your soul mate you are made for each other and will protect each other and love each other unconditionally. At least that is what uncle Micheal says, he has a mate her name is Ruth. She is a witch not a wolf and has worked for the witch counsel all my life, so we only ever see her every two or three weeks. She stays with us for about a week maybe longer if she's lucky the witch counsel is extremely busy. Not only that, but she's great the best aunt you could ask for she always makes me feel good from just her touch you could say she's like my mom.
Breaking from my thoughts I'm turning the last bend back to our cabin when I smell something off. Coming from the direction of the cabin I can smell at least four unidentified wolves they aren't Rouge, but I've never smelt their scent before. I slow down and press myself to the nearest tree moving swiftly I go to the next getting closer and closer tell I can hear what's happening inside my home.
"Where is he Micheal we know you have to be in touch or why would you make it so hard to find you." I hear a voice say. At the sound of it Opal starts pacing in the back of my mind.
"I haven't seen him in years, your not gonna find him here." I can hear my uncle Micheal say.
A scream rips out into the air sending chills up my arms as I can tell it belongs to my uncle. I breathe in calming myself as I get my breathing under control, I look around one man is in front of the cabin another is behind the cabin my senses tell me the last two scents are coming from inside. Uncle Micheal always said if we are in danger do not show your enemies your full strength. I need to get uncle Micheal out, but I also need to be careful with how I do it to not reveal myself. Looking down I find just what I'm looking for a large rock I grab it and toss it just a little ways in front of me rustling a bush. Lowering myself to the ground I watch as the big man from the front of the house moves closer to investigate. When he's close enough I jump up and crash my arm hard into the back of his neck. He grunts and starts leaning forward, I catch him and slightly struggle to lay him down quietly. Checking to see if anyone heard the disturbance. All clear. I move toward porch.
"Why are you making this hard Micheal just tell me what I want to know, and I'll leave you be." The same voice as before says.
I peek threw the window seeing a man standing in front of my uncle who is strapped to a chair blood running down his face. He's covered in bruises a long cut made from his ear down to his chin is bleeding. The man in front of him has a silver dagger in hand, there is another man standing by the back door. A laugh echos threw the house, it's my uncle.
"Yeah sure that's how it's going to be I'll just tell you what you want to know and then you'll leave me be. Like I'd believe that." My uncle says spitting blood onto the floor.
"Well I guess we will have to just keep at this." Says the man in front of him. Taking the dagger and dragging it across the other side of his face. The anger in me boils, and I lose myself pushing the door open I charge at the man. He turned to see what the intrusion was looking me strait in the face. Opal says "mate " in my mind making me falter. It was a big mistake because that man, my mate stabbed me in the gut with his dagger. I slump on the floor.
"Shit." Says my mate leaning down and pulling the dagger from my body.
"Sienna." Says my uncle.
"My daughter look what you've done to my daughter." He says.
Looking at him, he gives me a knowing look telling me not to say anything. My hand is on my stomach and the blood feels warm on my hands. I pull myself up to a sitting position, never moving my hands from the opening. Waiting for my body to heal, I look for an opening to attack.
"Your daughter huh" says my mate looking at me his eyes have pain and disdain in them.
"Welcome to the party dear I was just trying to get some information from your father here, and he was not being very cooperative with me." He says with a chuckle.
"But I'm thinking if I turn my blade to you, he may be more reciprocating." He says looking at me with the dagger twirling in his hand. Opal whines in the back of my mind.
"No don't hurt her again I'll tell you whatever you want to know." My uncle says pleading with his eyes at the man.
The bleeding has stopped, but the wound hasn't healed probably because its from a silver dagger.
" Good now Micheal tell me where your brother is." My mate says stepping back toward my uncle.
"The last time we spoke he said he would be coming back here in a few weeks, it's my daughter's birthday, and he wants to be here." Uncle Micheal says.
It's a lie father isn't coming back soon we are to meet him on my birthday. It's a half-truth so I can hear the even beat of his heart letting it feel like the truth.
"Ah finally some answers." Says my mate "well that's all I needed." He says motioning his head to the man at the back.
Ice runs threw my veins as he pulls out a syringe passing it to my mate. He then turns to me and jabs it into my arm. The world goes wobbly and my vision blurs a little. He then takes the dagger and slices my uncles throat. Pain wells in my chest as darkness seeps into my mind no longer able to fight I drift off.
-Ivan-
After cleaning up the cabin I had the two guards I brought dispose of Micheal's body. While Jon took My mate back to base I hit her with a good tranquilizer so she will be out for a while. I wasn't expecting to meet her here let alone end up stabbing her.
"You're a dumb ass." Growls my wolf Heath.
"She's not going to except us now that you stabbed her. "
"It will be fine she needs us now shes all alone." I say to him.
He goes silent for a few minutes before he says " you better not lose our mate." Then he blocked me off.
He's just over thinking it so I stabbed her its not like it was intentional she came at me. I killed her father but he was helping his brother Arthur he killed my mother and we have been hunting him down for so long. It doesn't matter how she feels about that he was helping that monster I needed to end him, I would end anyone that got in my way. She's my mate she'll get over it. I'm making my way back to base to wait for her to wake up. We will be here for a couple weeks waiting for Arthur to show up. I might as well use this time to get to know my mate.
I enter the factory we are using as a base, it was the only structure within a reasonable distance from the cabin to conceal us. Its a good size housing twenty of my people, there is a second level that lines the wall with offices that we turned into rooms. I had them send my mate to the corner room, its blocked in and doesn't have windows leading to outside so it perfect to keep her from escaping.
I look at my watch and it's about one in the morning so I head to my room to sleep.
-Sienna-
My head is throbing and my throat is so dry I can hardly breath without it hurting. I open my eyes looking around, I find myself in a room with no windows or furnishing just the door on the other side of the room. I go to move when I feel a burning at my wrists. There are silver chains attached to silver cuff confining me to the wall.
"Shit." I say under my breath
A banging sound comes from infront of me. Looking up I see that man, my mate, my uncles murderer standing before me.
" your awake little pet." He says moving closer.
"Why am I hear?" I ask.
"Well you are my mate, even if you are the family of my enemy. I can at least keep you right little pet." He says smirking at me.
I feel nauseous this man is my mate. " you can't keep me I'm not a pet." I say glaring at him.
"Well I have plans I have to be here to wait for Arthur to show up. Speaking of witch since he's coming for your birthday I should find out when that is." He looks at me expectedly.
"Why should I tell you." I say moving my head up high.
"Well you may be my mate but I have no problem treating you ass the enemy. You have the information I want and I have ways of making you tell me." He says his lips falling into a flat line.
"I have nothing to say." I turn toward the wall.
"Have it your way pet." He says.
The banging of the door lets me know he has left. I look around again looking for anything to help me in this situation.
"Opal are you there?" I say inwardly
"Yes I'm here I'm just tired, our mate isn't treating us well and it effects me negatively." Says Opal
"I know I feel the same. We need to find a way out of here." I say
"We are only cuffed by our hands so there may be a way but we need to be stronger, stronger then now." Says opal.
"And how do we get stronger being cuffed." I say rolling my eyes.
"Well all you have to do is wait. Those three days before you turn eighteen our strength will come, the wolf strength you have yet to feel will come and that will be the time to escape." Says Opal
"Okay we have a plan." I say.
Moving into a more comfortable position i take this time to clear my mind and think of what we will do after we get out of here.
~~~~~~~~
I'd been deep in thought going over how to get out of here and contact my father, when the door swung open with a crash and three men walked in. One was pushing a table with straps.
"Alpha says you won't cooperate so we've come to persuade you." Says the big guy who entered first.
"Get her on the table." Says big guy motioning his head to the man beside him.
He approaches me with keys going to unlock the chains on the wall. Smart not going for the cuffs, my hand are itching to scratch his eyes out. He has the chains in hand now yanking them hard and pushing my back with his foot
" Move dog." He says.
I don't move. I won't be doing anything they want me to I'm not some submissive dog.
"I said move bitch." He says. Kicking my back again.
I still don't move. He yanks the chains dragging me across the room by my hands. Stopping at the table they brought in he kicks my side and pulls me on to the table. I jerk and try to pull myself away from the table but they all hold me down and strap my hands and feet to the cuffs on the table.
"Now its time to begin. We ask you some questions and you give us the answer. If you don't we get to punish you." Says the big buy with a slimy grin.

-Sienna-
Ive been in and out for days. every other hour someone comes in and tortures me after a few hours my mate will come in and ask me when my birthday is only to get no answer. opal has told me today is the day to tell him we have come to the agreement that we will tell him its friday it is on friday just this friday so hopefully they will end this madness. the cycle of being tortured on behalf of your own mate is maddening and I need to recoperate if I want to make it out of here.
after about an hour the big guy comes in, he looks me over and snears at me.
"alirght sweet cheeks here we go again are we doing this again? or are you going to answer our questions" he laughs out
"Water" I huff out of my dry cracking mouth.
"are we planning to talk today?" he asks with his right brow raised.
" yesss" I hiss out threw my now bleeding lip, fully split from the effort of talking.
he hesatates but leaves the room, a few moments later he comes in with water and passes it to me. overcome with the sight of it I slurp it down very uncivilized like. the door bangs open then and my mate appears looking cocky and happy until his eyes land on me finishing off the water; a look of contempt etches across his face.
"Hello pet. it seems you are finally willing to talk to us now." he says.
Taking a calming beath in I repliy " I am " I lift my head to look at my mate
"Okay then why dont you start by telling me when your birthday is pet." he says as he lightly sweeps hair from my face.
The feeling tingles but not the way I was told it would feel when your mate touches you, a wave of repulsion corses threw me as I bite bake biel so I can get my words out.
"It's been what a few days since I've been here my birthday is on friday. next week." i quickly slide it in there to keep the lie a secret.
"Now we are finally getting somewhere pet." he says and smiles.
"We have lots to prepare for but luckly you broke at a good time for us to make a plan." he wipes is hand off and turns to the big guy.
"Have some cloths brought from that cabin for her." he says.
The big guy nods and exits the room.
"Now while we are in a revealing mood why dont you tell me your name pet." he says looking down at me.
my mouth has finnaly moistened from the water and I look up at him
"I am Sienna Blake." I say not avoding his eyes.
"Sienna." he says my name slowly rolling it across his tounge. it feels like a snake has learned to speak and is talking to me threw him but its just what he has presented himself to me as.
"Well then mate it seems we have time to get to know one another." he says with a smile.

Dominic has been restless pacing around in my head. Every time I ask him what's up he just doesn't seem to know. The pack border has been bustling there seem to be other wolves nearby, but they don't smell like rouges either way no one has sent an inquiry to be on my pack lands, so it has me on my guard. I just wish I could figure out what's wrong with Dom before I have to deal with the border stalkers. I mind link the pack to be on high alert to any intrusion on our boarders. Hopefully we have no issues arise so close to the counsel meeting.

-Sienna-
Ivan my mate had introduced himself then explained to me what was expected of me and what I will have to prove to him to become his true mate. Ha! It was laughable the garbage that came out. And then when he turned to me done with his little story I laughed right at him. He didn't like that one bit he left with a disgusted look and told me I should get my act together if I don't want to be rejected as his mate and slammed the door. After a while the big guy came back and gave me some clean cloths and a quick injection to quote "keep my calm" while I dressed and returned to my chains. After the drug wore off, and I took a little nap me and Opal communed our plan again. It was now the day I would start to gain more wolf strength before my birthday. For the next two days I didn't see Ivan, but the big guy brought me real meals an a update that the alpha is still preparing, so I better be on my best behavior. Tomorrow this will end I'll be leaving the first chance I get.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The morning felt different today it may be my birthday and should be happy and light, but the situation wasn't what I would call light, even though I no I'm not okay it really feels okay this morning the aches in my body are gone and my wrist no longer seem to be burning from the silver cuffs which I wouldn't call the most normal 18th birthday wolves experience.
"Opal what's happening?" I ask inwardly.
"Sienna we are a very special wolf." She responds sounding far stronger than she ever did even before this experience.
" What do you mean?" I ask truly intregued.
" Well you are a direct line Opal moon pack wolf an every so many years an opal wolf is born from the direct line meaning you Sienna." She says like that just answered all my question.
" I don't think now is the time to be getting into that Sienna we need to get out of here." She says binging me back to our situation.
" Your right." I say pulling myself off the floor.
Based on the last few days big guy will come in shortly to give me my meal then be back to collect the tray and tell me if the alpha will be gracing me with his presence. After a while he brings me my meal and leaves, the plan is to eat and take him out when he's back. Enjoying my oh so great ham sandwich I polish it off and get to work pulling on the chains I can test there resistance much better now that they don't burn me. Stretching the chains as far as they go I lift my legs up against the wall and push myself into a standing position on the wall, giving a good jerk the chains break off at the wall finally freeing me. Well mostly since they are still tightly clamped around my wrists. When I'm up and ready I position myself behind the door and wait for the big guy chains in hand making for a fancy choker for this dog. The thumping of his feet down the hall let me no he's on his way.
Just as the door opens he's already speaking " Guess your in luck the alpha will be coming to see you soon." he barely gets out as the door bangs closed with me on his back chain twisted around his neck as he reaches to get at them. Not having any luck he starts to ram his back against the wall with me on him leaving me no choice but to end this before it causes to much of a commotion. Twisting the chains tighter one more time I push off the wall he had been ramming me into flipping over his head and in turn flipping him over my shoulder he lands with a crack and goes limp. I know I've snapped his neck with that move and quickly start searching for the keys in his pockets. I find them and go for the chains on my left wrist, they come undone easy but as I go for the other I hear more footsteps down the hall. Shit I put the key in my pocket and wrap the remaining chain around my forearm I get into position behind the door again waiting for them to enter.
Just as the door closes I slam against Ivan with my wrapped arm he falls over a little disoriented by the fall I grab his leg and pull him farther into the room quite surprised I had the strength for that. He looks up at me after taking in the room.
" What are you doing pet." He says threw clenched teeth.
" Oh you know just trying to escape nothing much." I retort with a smirk.
" And where will you go if you pull your little escape off you have no one left, and you belong to me pet." He says bringing his body up onto his hands.
Kicking down on his back hard I say " Well anywhere would be better than being trapped with a psycho like you."
Moving my way toward the door he rasps a harsh laugh, turning I see him roll onto his back before getting back up. While I have carefully maneuvered the keys out of my pocket and undo the other cuff. He gets a glimpse of this and his lips form a tight line as black etches his eyes.
" Don't you dare try to leave me Sienna" He growels out.
Laughing I throw the chain from my arm strait at his face." what are you going to do if I do huh" I ask as he hisses at the burn of the silver on his face
" Do not test me sienna you won't like how I treat you then." He growls finally getting to his feet.
" I will be and when I get out of here I will find my father and warn him of you." I say watching the question appear across his face.
"Oh I'm sorry you believed my uncle was my father so you don't no Arthur is my father." I say with a smirk as he contortes his face to pure rage.
" Arthur is your father ha, it was one thing to be his neice but you are that scums child no, never, I could never." He begins to yell.
" I reject you Sienna blake as my mate." he states spitting onto the floor with his words.
Pain emanated from my core like being stabbed all over again I lurch for just a second as he takes a step toward me. Well too can play that game.
" I Sienna Blake accept your rejection Ivan Sharper." I say watching him crumple to the floor clutching his chest.
Turning from the scene I open the door and peak out all clear. Silently I creep down the hall hearing voices from down below I feel my best bet is a window from this floor. There are two more doors that have no noise coming from them reaching for the knob to the first its locked, I head toward the seond one it twist right as I hear a shout from behind followed by a bang my side aches as a bullet went right into it. Cursing I rush into the room and spot a window with a few boards covering it rushing toward I pertect my face as I crash threw it trying hard to surpress the pain I feel as Opal chimes in.
" Go that way. " She gestured to my right. Hauling myself up I run in that direction as fast as I can hearing them yell and take off after me.
-Gabriel-
" You need to go to the boreder now!" Dom barks at me throwing me off in the middle of a jab towards lucas. Holding my hands up I pause to talk to Dom.
"What do you mean?" I ask.
"We need to get to the boarder now the north side quickly now GO!" He comands me shaking my core a little.
" Okay, okay I hear you a explanation would be nice but we will do what you say."
I gestured to lucas to follow me as I head to where Dom commanded. Getting closer I feel something stir inside me an unfamilliar feeling tingle down my spine as we get closer, I hadn't even realized I'd gone full sprint tell Lucas caught up to me.
"Whats happening?" He asks trying to keep pace with me.
"Dom said I was needed at this side of the boarder now, he was pushing hard and now that I'm closer I feel like I need to be there no matter what." I reply focusing on the path infront of me.
As we get closer to the boarder I can smell wolves not mine and not rouges. Howling and yelling is happening, taking just a moment I mind link my gamma to get a squad together to meet us here asap. Getting to myborder the sounds and voices get louder not quite here but not to far off. Getting fighting ready I wait for the first one to cross my pack line, when the most amazing scent hit my sences like lavander an coco an warm honey.
"Mate!!" Dom barks in my mind just as my eyes come across a girl running strait towards me shes gripping her side, her blonde hair is whipping behind her as she clears out boarder. Lucas goes full action to grab her when I growl.
"Mine" I say strongly releasing my alpha aura.
He pauses and looks back at her then to a commotion coming in behind her. I quickly find myself infront of her reaching out to catch her from the impact of her run. She looks up into my eyes piercing me with the most sky blue eyes I'd ever seen. She stops breathing for a second only to say.
"What?" Before grabbing harder at her side pulling her hand away blood coats her hand.
"Lucas capture the intruders I need to see a pack doctor right now" I say pulling her up into my arms and running toward the pack hospital.
She pushes at me as I do this but after a minute she stops glancing down I say " Don't worrie love I'll have you to the doctor real quick your gonna be fine."
She just looks at me confused but doesn't do anything but let me take her there.
"We found her Gabriel." Dom howls in my head thumping his tail and trotting in circles. " We did now lets just see whats happend to her.'' I say back taking another quick glance at my mate in my arms.
