Flicker of hope.

I couldn't tell you how long I've been in this cell. I stopped counting after three hundred and six days, giving up all hope on being saved, no one is coming for me. I tried to escape countless times but everything is covered with silver, there is no out, only by suicide and even I'm to weak to do that.

Wherever we are don't allow beds, I have been sleeping on the floor since they threw me in here. A small cup of water a day and two pieces of bread, always the same.

The abuse is always the worst. They come in almost daily, and it never stops until we're barely breathing. I know I'm not the only one here; I hear many girls being dragged out their cell only to never hear them again, two girls every time, it's getting closer and closer and I know I don't have much time left. They're hunters and we are werewolves, it's not hard to figure out what they're doing. We're being tested and then killed one by one.

Savannah, the girl next to me hasn't been in here as long as me but we really bonded and she says she knows people will be coming for her but I call bullshit, we're getting closer to death and no hint of anyone coming but that's her hope and I'm nobody to destroy it.

Sharing details about our family daily is my favorite part of our conversations. My parents and younger sister are the reason that I keep going every day, I'm living for them because that's what they would want.

Basic teenage life that I lived and loved, I had friends, the happy family and I never realized it until it was taken away from me but it's the little things you miss, mom's cooking, dad's jokes and laughs, games and shopping with my sister, I can never get that back and I'll always feel selfish for the time i didn't get with them.

"Hey P, you okay over there?" Savannah asked knocking my depressed thoughts away once again. The walls are very thin so we can hear everything but we can't see anything. "I'm okay" I whispered back moving towards the wall so I could feel closer." "How are you holding up today?" I knew someone was torturing her earlier while the same was being done to me.

"I think they're getting weaker" she joked, giving a small laugh "could've been worse so I'm fine."

We both stay silent after that. Just knowing we are here together was enough for the both of us.

Screams, that's what I woke up to. Very loud screams and thuds. It sounded like a war was going on which only left me even more confused as I was already trying to figure out what the hell is going on.

I was excited and scared at the same time. What if it's someone finally coming to help but what if they're just as bad as the people who took us here in the first place. I don't know how to react but I could feel myself starting to panic.

"Promise!" Savannah yelled trying to get my attention over the noise that's going on above us, "that's my pack, I told you they were coming." I relaxed a little at that but continued to overthink. They came for Savannah, will they leave the rest of us here? Will Savannah leave me here, what pack is she even from?

All this time and we never talked about what packs, we could be enemies.This could turn out very bad. I was about to ask when all of the sudden the noise stopped and then came a loud howl of victory, they won. "Hey Savannah I never asked but what pack are you from?" I waited a few minutes for the answer but all I got was silence.

I pushed myself against the corner of the wall when I heard sets of feet running down the stairs, not sure what to expect I stayed silent biting my lip as Macy, my wolf started to grow nervous, as of why, I don't know.

I blocked out the noise around me to get answers from her.

"Something good is gonna happen, I can feel it!!" I blocked her out before she could scream any louder in my head.

Something good happening, to us? yeah right. We've been in hell for a long time. I can't even remember good things but still a small part of me wondered if she was right, could we finally have some good brought our way. I felt a flicker of hope come back thinking about it, hoping that we finally get what we deserve.

"Ash" Savannah screams happily, "I missed you, I knew you would come" ash is her mate, She talked about him everyday. I smiled, feeling happy for my friend.

"Nolan" she finally said with a content sigh. That name felt safe. That name sent shivers down my spine. "Nolan" I whispered before I could stop myself. I liked it.

A growl shook the whole place scaring the shit out of me, I quickly jumped back into the corner I unknowingly moved myself out of. Footsteps were getting closer and my heart was beating out of my chest.

Step after step until they stopped right at my door, holding my breath I waited for whoever it was to come in, I was scared but strangely excited, I don't know what I expected but it was definitely not the most handsome man I've ever seen standing right in-front of me.

"Mate" he growled stalking towards me with dark eyes filled with worry and happiness.

Holy shit.
