Chapter 11 - New Friend

JASMINE

I smiled at the small lit moon I could barely see at the corner of the windows and I knew the moon goddess probably still answered requests and maybe she had taken note of my loneliness and decided I did not deserve it after all. Besides, she gave me my wolf colour and if it was going to be so much trouble having it in the first place, I wondered why I had the colour and why I had to be in the midst of those who would not understand the color the very time I changed.

Yet, all of those were not what occupied my mind tonight as I sat in the corner of the room. Finn had just left. It was not how I was expecting my night to go but it was definitely the best night I have had since I changed in this pack.

He was very gentlemanly with his words and he spoke with so much confidence, it felt as though he could never be wrong about anything. I wondered who he listened to because with the level of intelligence he had, they ought to be listening to him instead.

I did not see so much of him but I could tell he was handsome and there was no need to think so much about how he looked, he promised to find me in school later today because he wanted me to know how he really looked so I would have not have any trouble running to him in case I needed help in some ways.

"Finn? I am sorry, it does not ring a bell. I also suggest you find your way out of here before the guards find you." 

"Guards?" He laughed like I just said the funniest thing in the world. "More like, they should be concerned about their jobs if the Alpha finds out I was here." 

"You have been bragging about your title and the position you hold for a while now. Who are you? Your name does not ring a bell." 

"I am sure it does not." He rested against the door of my cell, being as close as he could get. If this was real, I still had a lot of questions to ask him. There was absolutely no way this was completely random. "Like I said, I am Finn." 

"Even if I do not know anyone else, I'd never forget your name now because you have introduced yourself so many times now, I have lost count." 

He put on a small smile. "Well, yeah." He laughed again. "I want to be very sure you know my name, it is very important that you do, Jasmine."

"How do you know my name?" I was truly shocked, there was absolutely no way. 

"There is no way you would not know the name of your friend, now, am I right? That should never happen." 

"I guess." I smiled back at him.

It was still too good to be true but things like this only happened once in a lifetime and it would be good for me if I used it wisely as a way to feel better instead of pushing him away. If indeed he wanted to be my friend, it was also good for me. It meant he would visit a lot and that would be good for me as I needed someone to actually call a friend. It had been many years and many do not know I exist anymore and have not bothered to ask questions about me.

Someone who had put in a lot to be my friend was definitely worth being friends with then. 

"Why are you here, Finn? Also, you still haven't told me whose child you are because you have gone back and forth about that for hours now. I really want to know the course of the confidence you so exude." 

"Well, if you really want to know. I am the son of the Beta of the pack."

Shit! "Oh, my goodness!" I moved as far away from him as possible.

"This is exactly why I did not want to say anything about it, I did not want you to run away from me but I guess I was too quick to tell you who I was. Honestly, I am here on my own accord and I just want to be friends with you truly, nothing more." 

It only got all the more suspicious. How could he just want to be friends? It was the same way the last doctor I saw acted nice and suddenly switched. I was waiting for him to switch. I watched as he earnestly waited for me to come back closer to him but that was it for me. There was no way I was going to make the same mistake twice.

I had narrowly escaped from him the first time and I intended to keep it that way, I was not truly interested in being tortured late into the night. Thinking about it, thoughts of what he possibly came to do here made my heart skip. He was much more powerful than I was and if he had the keys to the door of my cell, he would unlock it and forcefully sleep with me, something which would be the first of its kind of punishment in this place.

It had always been beatings, lashes and experiments. I once wondered when it was going to come to forced sex and I guessed I didn't have to think too far, it was just about to happen.

"Fine, I'll look for you in school since we attend the same school. I honestly just want to be friends." He waved at me gently before leaving.

I thought about it again and it was still suspicious. 'What if it was the doctor trying to play on my intelligence and find reasons to punish me by instigating me talking to him?' I thought.

It was a possibility, seeing as I had not been called to the lab in a while. I wiped a tear as I heard the dungeon door close. Nothing made me trust anyone and something just told me Finn was one to be trusted, I just could not bring myself to do it. It was that hard. 

I smiled to myself again. 

"I have a new friend." I said to myself before laying my head on the small stone in the room, something I had now made into my own pillow. It goes with saying, 'if life throws lemons at you, make lemonades.'
