The Alphas Obsession

I awake  in a cage in the midle of a clearing in the woods.


It's a small cage, dirty and gross. I look down an realize that I am covered in dirt and straw and blood.


And I am struck by the realization that I am going to freeze to death. I am going to die.


Just then, I hear footsteps, and I know they are coming for me. I brace myself for whatever he's coming to do. I know I can't stop him. I'm too weak to fight.


I look up to see the wolf from before. The bounty hunter. He is holding food out to me.


"Eat," he says again. This time, he pushes the food into my cage. "You're hungry, and I'm not going to let you starve to death. Eat."


I stare at the food for a long time.  I don't know what to do. I don't want to take anything from him. But I'm starving, and eventually the hunger wins out.


I reach out and take the food from his hand.


He laughs.  "That's a good girl," he says.
