The Prince’s Unwilling mate by Mutya

It had been thirty minutes were the wolves were walking on top of our hiding place. Thirty minutes where I fought to stay awake. Silent tears streamed over my cheeks as I was getting breathless and dizzy since David was still clamping my mouth shut. And then they just left, they didn’t see anything and they just walked away. Leaving me behind in this desperation, in this hell hole. And my body just gave up, the second I stopped battling to stay awake I passed out.

When I woke up I didn’t know how long I had been passed out. It had to be the rest of the day for sure as it had been getting dark by the time I passed out, and it was light out again now. The plate of leftovers was waiting on me next to my nest. My stomach turned at the sight of the coagulated fat on the plate. Gluing David’s half–eaten breakfast burrito to my plate. Next to it was a plastic container with coleslaw. He must have gotten takeout that had coleslaw as a side dish. David was convinced that wolves did not need vegetables. According to him, we are

carnivores.

To some extent he is right and our diet needs a lot more proteins than a normal human diet does. That doesn’t mean we can have the exact same diet as a regular wolf would. Not that I’ve ever seen a wolf enjoy.a breakfast burrito with extra chipotle mayo either. But that was just David’s logic. I was not a big fan of coleslaw but at this moment I was just happy to be eating some veggies. I stumbled to the kitchen to heat up my burrito. It would make it taste the slightest bit better. When the food was warm I noticed an opened can of soda unattended and I craved

sugar. I craved a quick energy fix, and it seemed like I was all alone.

David was no doubt spooked by the fact that the wolves coming to rescue me were so close to the dungeon. He was probably out fortifying the structure and instructing the pack members who still were loyal to him to increase the security of this place. So I took a few quick sips of the soda, once again ignoring the cramping in my stomach. Before making my way back to my nest to eat my meal.

The stomach cramping had been more common lately. Every time I ate or drank something too greedily my stomach would cramp up. And I would have to lay there praying for the cramps to subside. If not I would throw up and lose all the precious food I had gotten. With only having earned one meal, and having been able to swipe a few sips of coke and a candy bar. I still was weak, and I had to force myself to eat more. Because of the stomach cramps it caused.

every time I was swallowed by this darkness I could hardly remember why I shouldn’t just give up. It was Willow’s voice that kept me from entirely floating away. However, I was scared to find out how long that would keep me from giving up. Because my body and soul were
