The pain in my arm is slowly subsiding, but I still don’t understand where it came from. Midnight is still whimpering in my head, and I can’t figure out why, nor is he answering my questions. Emilio keeps me informed about the attack at Blue River Pack wher suddenly King Damon links me, “Go back to the Academy; the fight is over. You will hear the details later.”
I link both my own unit and Morgan’s unit to inform them that the King ordered us to return to the Academy. No one asks questic as we turn our vehicles around, and for the next two hours, we drive in silence. Emilio has had no more updates, and I guess King Damon ordered everyone to keep quiet, which makes me feel on edge.
King Damon has never kept me out of the loop; he feels that as Casimir’s Gamma, I need to know what is going on, and I try to lin Roan to get an update. Roan is Casimir’s Beta, and he joins Casimir wherever he goes, but it seems that he put a block up on the mind–link.
My Dad is waiting at the Academy with Dalton and Thora; he probably heard about the attack and just wants to get some answer: The moment I get out of the SUV, Thora breaks away from her Grandfather. “Dad, are you okay? Did you get hurt? Did anyone get hurt?” She fires the questions at me as she jumps into my arms.
“Sweetheart, I am fine. I never even reached Blue River Pack; King Damon told me to head back because the fight was over,” I tell her, and I see a strange look on Dad’s face, almost as if he knows something I don’t. Dad must have sensed that I wanted to ask something because he links me, “I will explain it over the weekend if you haven’t gotten answers by then.”
Dalton is talking to Flora, one of Morgan’s team Captains. He asks her if she isn’t disappointed that she didn’t get to fight. “I woul have liked to kick an ass or two, but the fact that it was over quickly tells me that there was hardly a fight at all. I don’t know if anyone got hurt or killed; we will probably find out soon,” She answers him.
Most Wolves and Lycans wouldn’t answer him this honestly; they consider him to be too young at nearly fifteen. Thora has her no: buried in my neck, and I wrap my arms around her even tighter; she loves cuddling with anyone. I listen as Dalton asks Flora questions about her Commander, and when he hears her Commander is a female, he looks at me.
“Yes, Dalton. Flora’s Commander is a female, and her name is Morgan,” I say, and Thora pulls back a bit to stare at me. “Why did he parents give her a boy’s name?” She asks, and I tell her that we all thought Morgan was a male until she showed up for her first meeting with the King.
Flora starts laughing at my admission–or at least I thought she was. “Do you want to know what she said when she entered the meeting room?” Flora asks, and both my Pups are nodding their heads. I remember too late what she had said: “That she was sorr for being late, but that she had to point out to one of her unit members that she lacked a dick,” Flora blurts out.
Dad is laughing his ass off while Thora giggles, and Dalton looks at me for confirmation. “Yes, Dalton. She actually said that with King Damon in the room,” I say, and now Dalton is also laughing his ass off. He knows that King Damon always hates it when peopl act differently around him, and I know he will ask King Damon about this as soon as he can.

With their Alpha wounded and down on the ground, the rest surrenders quickly, and soon we have all of them in custody. Through the mind–link, King Damon instructs everyone to not relay to anyone what happened, that those that need to know will be informed by him, and I think it might have to do with me. After all, Roan, Casimir’s Beta, must have reported to him what Amra looks like.
“Commander, where do we place all these Pack–members? I doubt the dungeons are going to be enough,” Roan asks, and I nod at Landon to lead the way. “They won’t be placed in the dungeons; we will put them in the arena,” I answer as I follow Landon to our

training grounds. Dad uses it for competitions between Pack–members.

Skylar is walking right next to me, and she keeps looking at my arm; the wounds disappeared when I shifted into Amra. “I am fine, Skylar. Amra is a fast healer, and the wounds weren’t too deep,” I answer her unspoken question, and she smiles as she looks at my arm again.
The rest of the way to the arena is spent in silence, and when the arena comes into view, I see Colton and Hudson guiding Chaya and Faith out of the arena; looks like they already placed their prisoners inside. “Roan, hold on to Shithat for me. We have a specia place for him,” I say as I walk towards the entrance. Once all prisoners are inside, I turn towards Roan.
“Ready to see where we place our special guests?” I ask Roan with a smirk on my face. I grab Nigel’s Father to yank him to his feet and walk towards the building that holds our prison. It is a one–story building from the outside, and when you walk in, you can’t imagine what lies beneath it, but once you descend the stairs, it will hit you full force.
One of my ancestors built it to imprison Rogues, but mostly to get information out of those that hurt our Pack in any way, and not many outsiders have ever been down there. Ashton, Declan, and Fletcher are standing guard outside, and that tells me that King Damon and Casimir are already inside.
“Roan, you are allowed to follow me inside. The rest of you will have to wait out here; King Damon and Prince Casimir will be safe in there,” I say before Fletcher opens the door for me and Roan. Dad is waiting for us with King Damon and Prince Casimir, and Roan is looking around the space we are in.
It resembles the lobby of a hotel with a few guards around. Dad walks towards a door that will lead us to a corridor with some interrogation rooms. At the end of the corridor is another door which leads to a stairwell, and as you walk down the stairs, you can see the cells in the middle. A boardwalk is mounted around the cells with smaller boardwalks leading to the cell doors.
The boardwalk ends in a stair leading down to the next level of cells, and it repeats itself over and over again until you reach the bottom of our prison. At the bottom, there is one huge cell with a smaller cell inside; whoever ends up here will beg for death real soon, and I shove Nigel’s Father into the smaller cell.
King Damon doesn’t spare his surroundings a glance, while Casimir and Roan are looking around in amazement. I remember the first time Dad brought me down here; I had just turned fifteen, and I had overheard him and Ashton talk about the underground prison we have.
I was told why the prison was built in this fashion and who had decided to build it. One of my ancestors had built it after he had failed to get answers from a Pack–member that had betrayed the Pack; his actions had cost many Wolves and Lycans from our Pack their lives, and they weren’t able to find out why he had betrayed his Pack.
So my ancestor had thought about a way to break someone without killing them too fast, and with his Beta and Gamma, he had gone over every way you could instill fear into someone. Enough fear to make them talk, enough fear to make them understand that talking meant a quick death, and once they had figured that out, all they needed to do was design a prison that could help them accomplish that.
I now knew it was because of that Pack–member that we lost one of our gifted females to a gruesome death, and I think it is poetic justice that we will get answers from Nigel’s Father here in the prison that was built because of an Alpha like him. “Morgan, can you explain this prison to me?” Roan asks, and I ask him to scream on the top of his lungs.
He does as I ask, and his scream echoes around the room. His face contorts as he keeps hearing his own scream over and over again, and it keeps going for almost five minutes. “Now, try to imagine that is the scream of someone that is getting tortured,” I say, and I hear him cursing under his breath.
King Damon walks towards the cell that holds Nigel’s Father. “Why did you attack Blue River Pack, and don’t give me the nonsense you wrote down in your letter?” He asks, but he doesn’t get an answer. I wasn’t expecting the male to answer, so I am not surprised to see him ignore King Damon.

Some would say Shadow Rock Pack is delusional for attacking Blue River Pack, to claim something that doesn’t belong to them. While others will side with their way of thinking and believing that Shadow Rock Pack was deprived of something that should have been theirs.
Every member of Blue River Pack hates the males that drove my ancestors to their deaths; we don’t hate entire Packs because of what one person did. Maybe we should in some cases, because they teach their Pack–members only a part of the story and leave out the way they treated my ancestors.
I hope that King Damon will make an example out of Nigel’s Father, to show other Alphas what happens if you go after something that doesn’t belong to you. Even if it means that the entire Kingdom will know who I am and what my abilities are.
