***Authors Note: This is basically a repeat Chapter of 12 in The Ruthless Alpha. From a third person perspective, if you have already read it, skip it.

ODETTE’S POV:

She’d spent the last three days alone in the dim lit cell. No food, no visitors. Nothing, but the company of a small mouse that would it’s time with me. She named the mouse Jerry, from the old cartoon. She had this secret guilty pleasure of watching black and white movies and old cartoons. She’s seen all the classic’s and not just the horror, no, she’d seen the romances, the westerns, the gangsters, and even old documentaries. Her favorites were the ones on vampires and werewolves. She loved laughing at all the incorrect superstitions.

Thinking about the things she missed and couldn’t wait to have again. It was the only thing keeping her sane in my time of solitude. Having something to hold on too. She knew her family, especially her father, would come for her. He’d tear the world apart to find her a new one. And so would my mammy, Lilith was a force to be reckoned with. She was powerful and a demented. She remembered the story her Uncle Oliver told her of her Violet’s birthday party, when she found out about Uncle Riley’s mistreatment of her mother, she stripped him naked and broke a bone for every time he had hurt Violet, she broke over 40 bones that day in front of the entirety of Vampire society. They watched as she broke her own grandson into shattered pieces. As ruthless as her father was, he couldn’t hold a candle to the Queen of the Damned.

They would find her and she would get her revenge. She will tear Raven to pieces. She will break all of her stupid little fingers. Gouge out her eyes for seeing her so weak, rip out her tongue for mocking her.

Damn, she was hangry, my thoughts stood staggered on violence. It’s been too long since she last fed. I felt so weak, like she would whether away.

Jerry was curled up with her on the mat Beta Damon had brought me. She hasn’t seen him since that day.

Lost in thought, stroking the small mouse she hadn’t noticed the footsteps that echoed through the halls growing louder with each step, it wasn’t until the mouse scurried away, the door to her cell block opened and strong steady footsteps approached her.

It was her kidnapper. She recognized his smell and the sounds of his footsteps.

Why was he so beautiful? It was truly unfair. Every time she felt his presence, she wanted more. Which made no sense, he’d taken her against her will. She truly despised him, but yet, she couldn’t deny his good look, if he weren’t such a scum bag and a dog no less, she could even find myself being attracted to him.

What the hell was she thinking? She had Kalvin, and Kalvin has my whole heart, she must be experiencing Stockholm Syndrome. That had to be the reason. She’s been denied access to people; her desperation must be making her mind play tricks on her.

"Good afternoon princess, and how are you doing today?" he asked her.

"I’m just peachy, yourself?" She snorted rolling her eyes. The audacity of this guy was absurd.

"Wonderful, now that I’m here seeing your cheery face." He answered.

She scoffed, "is there something I can help you with?"

"Yes, kind of you to ask." His words dripped with sarcasm. It really irked her. "I can assume you’re pretty hungry, I insist you join me today for lunch."

"Ha! Over my dead body, I’d sooner starve to death than eat lunch with a dog." her laugh was sour, and my words were sharp.

"It’s not a choice. You will join me, and you will eat. I need you strong and healthy for what I have in store for us." He chuckled manically.

Her stomach turned upside down when he said those words. What could he want from her? Fear crept up her spine. His face dark with an unsettling smile, his aura felt dangerous and oppressive.

"Fine, in fact, great, it’s a date." She mocked.

At least she’d get to eat some food. But that won’t satisfy me enough to make me stronger, She’s already been starved of energy longer than she’s ever been, her body felt constantly heavy, she was dizzy and achy. No one knew how Energy Vampires fed, cause there were only two of them. All she had to do was get her hands on someone and she could take their energy. They feed off the emotions. Violet could draw the sadness from a room full of people and feast on it. She couldn’t do that, at least not yet. She just had to think of a way to do it unnoticed. That was my real problem now.

"Glad to hear it, but I can’t have you seen in theoe rags and looking so... so... dirty, I’ll some maids come bring you something to wear." His voice sounded rather please, which was very rattling for me. Something to wear?

"I’m good with my current state, I am after all your prisoner." She snarked.

"Ha, you’re are surprisingly still spicy even after being starved for days. And that’s true, so as my prisoner, you will do as I say." His voice was cold and firm, commanding obedience from me.

"I don’t just bark, I bite. Take this collar off and I’ll show you what I can really do." she sneered low.

"There’s plenty of time for that later, you’ll be here a while, after all." He smirked.

His words made her blood turn cold, and the color drained from her face.

The thought of being stuck here, in this cell, with these wolves, wasn’t my idea of a good time. She bit back my well-deserved threat, not wanting to be chocked while she was so weak. She might be daring, but she wasn’t an idiot, not by any means. She knew when to keep her mouth shut. Having the King of Vampires for a dad, teaches you when it’s the best time to shut the hell up.

"I’m looking forward to it." She just rolled her eyes with scoff.

He yelled "Guards, escort her to my private chambers please."

"Yes, my King." They responded.

She looked to her kidnapper, shock clearly written on her face, king? This guy was the Alpha King? At this age?

"Oh man, you’ve got to be shitting me." She whispered to herself

The guards opened the cell and immediately she booked it for one. Grabbing a hold of his face and immediately started to feed.

She was utterly starved, and she couldn’t stop myself the minute there was an opportunity.

The wolf growled and tried to rip me off his face, but she held her grip firm. Almost ripping his ears off.

A growl came from king, and he ripped her off his guard and through her against the bared wall.

After he looked to his guard and socked the guard in the face. "Don’t touch what’s mine, and don’t be so weak that a small starved little girl can get the best of you, it’s a pathetic disappointment." The king growled the guard. A hard wave of exhaustion and dizziness slammed into the guard, he felt so weak he dropped to his knees. And fell unconscious. The punch was the tip for the guard; he couldn’t keep himself awake any longer.

The king just looked at him, kicked his body some, the man groaned, showing signs of him still being alive.

"Whatever you did, it didn’t kill him at least." The King said walking over to her, "If it had, I’d have to punish you."

"I was hungry, what can I say?" She shrugged my shoulders nonchalantly.

He pulled something out of his pocket, and she instantly recognized it. It was the same remote Raven had.

Her face fell and horror filled my eyes. He knew that look, he knew it was fear.

"Nervous? That means you know what it does." He smiled deviously. "Good, I don’t have to explain. Make one wrong move and I’ll give you a little zap, to remind you of your place."

For the first time since her arrival, she was rendered speechless, fear had melted her words.

"Get up." He growled at her

She did as she was told and rose from the ground with little defiance. She only snacked on a little of the man’s energy, she didn’t have the strength to handle a shock like before. The guy was weak; he fainted after only a few seconds. Why have such weak guards? Are the wolves that pathetic?

Standing up she dusted herself off and fiddles with her collar some, readjusting it to feel better.

He stood still staring at me, clearly interrupting a deep thought, she says "Well, let’s get moving, I don’t have all day."
