Bab 150: Chapter 143: You're next
Makena looked up from where she had laid down on the ground. Days before, after Rae courageously tried to attack Rehan, she was forcibly turned back into her human counterpart. Because of the forced shifting, it affected her human and wolf soul, where the side effect hit her in her heart. It had felt like her heart and soul were wrenched out of her body, stabbing deep into her heart. It was too painful that she fell unconscious after that.
After some time, she groggily woke up to find herself on top of an examination bed where her arms were stabbed with several needles, drawing out the blood from her body. Her lips turned purple from lack of oxygen and blood but it did not hinder Rehan who continued to draw more blood.
Whenever her blood was being drawn out, she felt like dying but unfortunately, she cannot do that as Rehan usually casted a spell to ensure that she wakes up. Because only when she was conscious that the blood may be able to be drawn out smoothly. And after he was done, she immediately fell unconscious, which usually lasted for more than two days.
She finally woke up after days of being unconscious. She was on the floor of her room, where she felt numb all over her body. She cringed in pain when she tried to move her body. It seems like it has been awhile since she last woke up and got her body to move.
She staggerily got to her feet, dragging her feet to the metal door. She leaned closer, placing her ear on the door, trying to listen. She felt something was nearby but she could not be sure what it was. Apparently, because she was too weak, she was unable to use her body parts properly.
It was then her stomach started to grumble. She probably wasn't given any food while she was unconscious. They most likely just tossed her in the room and left her there for who-knows-how-long.
She bit her lips as she placed her hand on her stomach, trying to lessen the pain of being hungry.
Just as Makena took a couple of steps towards the bed, the door was slammed open. She slowly turned around and saw the man who had been 'taking care' of her, sneering, holding a plate. He walked in and tossed the plate on the table, causing some food to spill over.
"You're finally awake, huh?" the man continued to sneer. "If you hadn't woken up, I'd have to jolt you awake," he sniggered, holding up the metal rod in front of him.
He then pointed at the food with his chin and said, "Go and eat. After that, Lord Rehan wanted to see you so don't be late or you will incur his wrath."
With that, the man left her with her thoughts, slamming the door behind him.
A couple of doors away, there was another metal door that led to a room. Inside the room, there was a huge cage with two doors and metal bars that divided the cage. And inside the cage, there were two teenagers sitting, looking drained out. Both of them had their backs against each other, separated by the metal bars. They were awake, the girl had her legs pushed up against her chest, her arms hugging her knees. On her ankles, there were chains that tied her ankles together, preventing her escape. It was similar to the boy who sat behind her, where there were also chains on his ankles. He did not look overly concerned about the chains on his ankles as his eyes darted around furiously, trying to think of some plan to escape.
"Bastian… are we going to be okay?" Amber asked softly, sounding a bit scared as she turned her head at him.
Bastian forced a smile at her, not wanting to make her worry. "Don't worry. I'm sure that they will be calling for help," he comforted her.
"Will Erick come and rescue us?"
Bastian snorted. "He probably is running scared. Don't you worry your pretty little head. I'm confident that my dad will come and rescue us. He is, after all, the strongest shifter in our pack."
"Is he like, the Alpha?"
Bastian looked at her, surprised. 'Seems like this girl knows a bit about shifters,' he thought curiously. Outwardly, he nodded.
Amber let out a sigh. Truthfully, she was not too worried about being rescued or not, but she thought of how her parents would be worried when she did not return home. She already made them worried when she walked alone that day on the road and now she's missing? She wasn't able to call them, telling them what had happened because she did not have her phone and her things with her.
She let out another sigh as she rubbed her stomach. She was getting hungry as well. Don't they feed the people in here??
Although it has only been a day since they were thrown here, it felt like years. They were unconscious when they were brought here, hence, they did not know where they were until they woke up in this very cage.
Unfortunately, it seems like there was a spell that had been chanted on the cage, preventing Bastian to shift. He could not even hear his wolf. It was as if his wolf soul was gone. The only thing that made him realize that he did not lose his wolf soul was that he was still sane. Shifters, as mentioned before, if their wolf soul was killed, the human soul either distingerate or they would turn to ferocious rogues.
The two of them went silent as they were lost in their own thoughts.
A few minutes had passed when the door to the room was opened. Came in a burly large man, holding a metal rod in his hand. He chortled, looking happy to see the two young teenagers looking dishevelled and drained. He liked seeing people's miseries, hence why he was tasked to 'take care' of Makena in the other room. He took great pleasure in watching other people, especially those weaker than him, suffer.
He banged on the cage with his metal rod, sniggering as he walked around the cage. He stopped in front of Bastian, who was glaring at him. "Oh, so one of the Lycans chose you?"
Bastian frowned, inwardly confused as to why the man suddenly said 'lycans'. From what he understood and remembers from the history lesson he got from his father, the lycans were extinct. At most, if one wants to know about the lycans, they would probably read them in the mystical history book or fairy tales. There hasn't been any news in the Cesaro pack about lycans, other than the fact that their ancestors were from the lycan descendants.
The man threw his head back and let out a huge laughter. "What? You didn't know?" he sneered as he peered in at Bastian, who growled back.
He then laughed out loud, relishing the moment where he has the upperhand over the young shifter. Still chuckling, he bravely opened the door to the cage and stepped inside.
Despite his weak appearance and meek personality when it comes to facing Rehan, there was none of it shown at that moment as he placed his arms in front of him to protect himself from Bastian's sudden attack. He sneered, looking deep at Bastian's eyes who had jumped on him, his hands gripping the man's arms.
The man quickly pulled one of his arms back, the one that was holding the metal rod and stabbed the rod at Bastian's stomach.
"Ooof!"
Startled at the surprised attack on his stomach, Bastian staggered back which gave the man a chance to land a kick on him.
Bastian then fell to the floor unceremoniously, his legs feeling all tangled up because of the chains.
While he was on the floor, the man took out another chain from who-knows-where and joined them together with the chains on Bastian's ankles. He then tugged on the chains, making Bastian stumble more on the floor.
The man then dragged Bastian out of the cage, ignoring the furious yelling from the young shifter. He continued to drag him, stopping in front of Amber's cage, where she was on her knees, looking at them wide-eyed.
The man smirked and said, "You're next."
