“Cold water is pain in it of itself but combine that with hot water-”
“AAAAHHHH,” the prisoner screamed as the hot water her his back.
“-and you reach pain you only dreamt of,” I spoke calmly to this sack of sh it in front of me.

“I know I should probably try and be more gentle to get you to give information to us but you did try and harm my mate….you no longer get the reasonable side of me,”
I sat down in the chair across from him keeping myself away. If I got to close I might just give into the urge of smacking the sh it out of him til he dropped dead.
“Speak about what your alpha plans to do and I will let you live,” I made the basic threat you had to make during an interrogation.
The wolf said nothing glaring at me before gathering saliva on his mouth and spitting at me.
“I killed a sigma. A wolf outside of pack law with small ties to their birth pack. He attacked and assaulted one of my warriors. I did what any alpha would do see reason and tell me what your alpha plans to do,” I tried logic.
Do I want him to b*dy?
tell me or should I break every bone in bir
He remained silent.
I gritted my teeth. “A stupi d man would threaten you now, tell you how hard he would hit, how many bones he’d break, the nerves he’d sortch…..”
The wolf flinched and his eyes widened with my words. A stu
“But I know it takes more than that, you have to go a little insane, before you break a promise. So I think I’ll let you sit here as long as it takes, just water, no food, no sleep. I’l keep you alive,”
Barely and then we’ll see if you feel like talking. **
*What happened to no more nights out of my bed.”
**Coming dear **
I walked out of his cell and let his reality sink into him.
My wife was safe in her bed waiting for me, his alpha would die, and he was smart he’d survive it all.
By the time I got to her Annette was wide awake. I could feel her fre at my absence from the rest I was supposed to be
taking.
“Letting him sleep gives him time to heal. I was much more sound of mind like you had asked and I was coming right

back, I made my case as I peeled off the shirt I used to cover my wounds.

“Funny since you are in need of sleep to heal you should know going in there wounded was risky,” she cautioned me ever the wise Luna she was.
“Mmm Netta,” I crawled into bed pulling her down to the mattress with me. “Let’s go to sleep,”
She was rigid at first defiant in her annoyance with me but she quickly melted and fell into the rhythm of my breaths and we fell asleep together.
I woke up first and normally I would get to work right away but I had spent the last three days without her. I didn’t intend to part from her willingly for a matter I could solve from my home.
I made breakfast: pancakes, the breakfast that helped cheer her up but as I recall none will outdo her mother’s.
I ate as she slumbered beside me and worked on the ledgers and stock of the harvest for trade. We had a bountiful harvest this year so her plan to sell where our food is more wanted was going to be extra profitable.
After only an hour she stirred and I set aside my work sidling up next to her to k*ss her shoulder and her arm and her back and her n*eck.
“You’re in bed, I must still be asleep,” she murmured.
I gave her the chuckle that sent chills up her b*dy and heat down through her. “I have missed you,” I explained.
Surely she should know by now I have become powerless against her, the second she made her way to me I was all hers.
The problems I had wanted to avoid in her ownership of me were now my most precious thing.
“I have to get up. We have to start preserving food and I have to can so much for us,” she whined as I gripped onto her tighter.
“I say we stay in bed today,” I whispered to her keeping her b*dy flush against mine.
“You?” She laughed at me so sweetly. “You mister duty to the pack, want to stay in bed all day?”
“I told you I missed you, why shouldn’t I want to stay in bed all day next to you,” I leaned my weight against her small frame. “Besides I’m weak I need you to help me heal,”
“Your ten times better than you were yesterday,” she turned around in my arms to face me.
Her fingers went to my bandages and she found the wounds and inspected them. She was right, they were ten times better. I wasn’t in nearly the same amount of pain I had been.
“You need to get to work and so do I. You have to figure out how those wolves got in and I need to make sure we can bunker down behind the walls for winter,”
She k*ssed me on the l*ps beforé escaping our bed for the day of work.

“I don’t like you being right,” I called to her.
“I’m your wife
“I’m your wife, it’s my job,” she called back.
**Cruel woman
Herr
Her giggle came from the bathroom just as she closed the door.
Business then.
I got up and headed towards the keep to get a rundown from the warriors who had swept the forest last night.
“They seemed to have mapped out the warriors shift change and climbed over the wall at the change,”
“They vaulted over and moved quickly. We found these,”
They were pole vaults, and it did seem that they were quick but with precision. Judging by the tracks they were heading for the keep when they happened to smell Annette.
It was only the two both male and both quick wolves. Still they were scrambled by all accounts of fighting. They hadn’t been trained thoroughly and when Netta called for me they looked away easily distracted.
*This enemy is not a good man. He sent out young wolves, loyal but untrained, to come and do recon on us seeing to find out what we know, I believe,” I judged the tracks and facts I had discovered.
I growled. They hadn’t come for her but they changed their objective the second they thought they could. This meant that my worries were all right. They wanted to hurt me by hurting her.
“I want guards with my wife and mother at all times. I want the trade off for warriors randomized, I want wolves transformed in the forest, I want traps laid out for ten yards on the inside of the wall and I want that wolf we captured starved but alive until he cracks,”
If we could keep them out long enough to make them act and fight here I could control the fight. Annette would need protection if they were looking to get to her before anything else.
She had made the right decision to move my mother into our home. I would need to schedule the hunters to go for deer, elk and moose for the winter. We keep enough farm animals but if we truly had to hold inside the walls all winter I wanted to be sure, we were well prepared.
I warmed that she now helped take care of our people. Her ability to care for so many and think of all she had to to help them was something I was thankful for during a dark time like this.
“Matt, Elizabeth I want to go over the defenses of my home,”
“I want five guards surrounding my home, I want two guards with Annette whenever she leaves the house and two with my mother as well,”
“Will the Luna be alright with that?” Elizabeth turned to me.
“I’ll speak with her,”
