I walked down the corridor and past an open space with a sofa and a fireplace. I heard someone screaming and watched as one of the men fucked the girl over the table. He was slamming into her and turned his head as though he sensed me. His eyes were black and he was digging his fingers into the girl's waist.
Our eyes locked and he smiled, laughing menacingly before growling and fucking her even harder. The girl's eyes rolled back into her head and she gritted her teeth. I hurriedly walked past the room. A dreadful thought flashed in my mind the closer I got to the wooden door. I grabbed onto the metal handle and pressed it down. It was the only door here, this had to be where the girl had run off to.
There was a straight stone staircase leading up to another floor and it was dark and damp. My foot slipped and I gasped as I held onto the wall.
At the top of the stairs was another door but it was locked. I looked back, the door downstairs was closed and I didn't hear anyone coming. As I listened to whatever was happening on the other side of the door I heard a heartbeat. Only one.
I put pressure on the handle and it opened.
There she was, curled up on a bed by the wall. Staring out through a little round window which was the only one present in the round room. We were up in one of the towers. The walls were grey and the floors were covered in dust.
"You shouldn't be here." The girl said and pressed her legs against her chest, hugging them tightly.
"I just want to make sure you're alright." I said and stepped closer. I closed the door behind me.
She wiped her nose and shook her head.
"I'm fine, leave now please."
"No," I walked closer, carefully getting closer but I didn't want to spook her.
She looked so broken and fragile.
"If they find you here you're fucked." She said.
"I'll be just fine. Can you tell me your name?" She looked to be my age, possibly in her twenties but she was young.
"Erin,"
"It's nice to meet you. I'm Gab-"
"I know you are." She snapped and turned her head.
Earlier I had been so caught up looking into her frightened eyes that I hadn't seen the big bruise around her neck.
"What happened to your neck?" I asked.
Her hand came up and she held it around her throat.
"Gabby you need to leave," she whispered.
"You're not safe here. Whatever you have seen them do to the other girls, is nothing compared to what you will suffer through if you stay," I gulped and knew that she was right.
"Who are you? And how did you end up in this place?" She sighed and wiped away a tear. Her blonde hair was slicked back in a short bob and her blue eyes glistened as the sun hit them.
"My pack was slaughtered by Asher and his men. They killed all of the men, the women, and the children. Only a few girls were kept alive. Once they were done with the killing spree they grabbed us and lined us up. I remember them prying our mouths open and pouring in a mixture of wolfsbane and water. We saw the bodies of everyone we knew laying on the ground. Their limbs were torn off and their children were still close to their bodies as they tried to protect them. Asher came up and pointed to each of us. We learned that those who didn't get chosen died right next to our bodies. They grabbed us and brought us all here. Locked us up and repeatedly-everyday and night- one by one they would come in and fuck us. After a few weeks, one man would come, pick a girl and pull her out. We were told to strip during dinner, dancing on all of them. Then they would start ripping our clothes off and pulling us down on their dicks. All of them took a turn and they didn't stop until they were all finished," she said and looked at me. The pain in her eyes was there but besides that, they looked empty- hollow with nothing left. And I understood that. What she and everyone else had been through...I couldn't even imagine.
"They broke us, all of us, and now it's just like it happens automatically. None of us have been able to connect with our wolves for ages. They use wolfsbane to keep them dormant."
"You have to leave," I said and sat down on the edge of her bed. I gestured for the door and looked at her desperately.
"All of you-you need to go. I'll help you," I was ready to take whatever punishment would come but they couldn't keep being tortured like this. Their pack had been murdered, their families were dead and these young girls were kidnapped and used as sex slaves.
She grabbed my hand and smiled sadly.
"We can't go anywhere but you can so run."
"Why can't you go?"
"Asher has a witch who helps him and she has put a spell on us. We're confide to the house and it's not the house that is under the spell but it is us. If we try and leave..."
"What?"
"If we try and leave, one of us will die. It's random. A few months back we all made a plan to leave and nobody had told us about the spell. We all met up and one of us went out before the others. I heard someone choking behind me and saw Dana, one of my closest friends choking on nothing but air. She collapsed and fell to the ground lifeless. Asher came out with three of his men and that's when he told us. Said he didn't want to say anything but rather felt it would be more educational if we learned for ourselves."
"Who is this witch?" I asked in horror.
"Her name is Liliana. She's basically Asher but in a woman's body."

I was seething, I hadn't touched my coffee anymore and I was still waiting for this bitch to name her price. She was tapping her finger on her cup and chewing on the inside of her cheek. The smell of herbs and concoctions was making me sick and I just wanted to get this over with.
"What can you offer me?" She asked.
"Anything, just name your price."
"Your soul," she said and narrowed her eyes. She looked at me and waited for my reply.
The skies were dark with ominous clouds hanging over the house. Soon the only lights would be the candles she lit.
"Deal." I said and watched as her lips pursed together and a storm began to rage in her gaze.
"Lies." She growled and her cup broke in her hand. The witch stood to her feet and I stood with her. My wolf stepped closer.
"What-"
"You have no soul to sell. Did you really think I would fall for that? How desperate are you to get what you want that it drives you to try and trick a witch?" She stepped closer. Winds that hadn't existed before started swirling around us.
"What can you give me?" She seethed and I rolled back my shoulders. My breath was caught in my throat and I looked toward the door.
"Don't even think about it." She said and flicked her wrist- a drawer flew and barricaded the only exit out of this place.
"Whatever you want!" I screamed over the wind.
The look she suddenly got in her eyes worried me. She dropped her hand, the winds settled and the flames on the candles no longer blew from side to side.
"For me to put a hex on the man you wish and make it so that you can have your Alpha all to yourself. What I ask for in return- the price you must pay, is your wolf." She said and smiled.
