Alpha Ethan novel Chapter 7

I don't even know how long ago that was, but I sit and think for a bit before I realize why that night is significant. "I- I had gone for a run. Then I came back and started handing out blankets."

"Where?"

"At the shelter I help run in The Scourge."

"Can anyone attest to that?"

I nod. "I would assume so. A lot of people saw me that night."

He gives me another couple sips of water that I quickly gulp down before letting out a sigh. I pass the drink back to him before he continues his line of questioning. "And was your run before or after killing some local wolves?"

My eyes widen in shock. What? What is he talking about? "I- I didn't kill anyone.... Who was killed?"

He narrows his eyes at me and passes the glass back to me. I continue to look at him as if I'll be able to make sense of what is going on by just examining his facial expressions. The water passes my lips, but this time a horrible stinging sensation fills my mouth and spreads down my body. I instantly begin to gag as I bend over on my hands and knees and begin heaving up the little bit of water that I had just drank. My eyes begin to water as I continue to retch up bile. The man stands up, grabbing his two glasses and walks away. All I can manage is to crawl away to a cleaner part of my cell where I collapse and curl up into a ball. Hugging myself tightly, tears begin to slide down my cheeks. How much longer are they going to keep me down here? Why are they doing this?
