Alpha's Unique Human Girl novel Chapter 23

"I'm not gonna wat-,"

"You're going to have to. This is your doing, accept your mistake." I spit, he stands over my cage, making me feel even smaller before he turns away. Leaving me once more. His fists clench as he storms away, leaving the surrounding pack members shocked.

Titus stops his walk and turns to face me. He watches the people around me as a young girl steps up, no older than 8.

"My daddy always told me that non wolves were horrible people, that they were ugly inside and out, but that wasn't true, you might be as pretty as my mommy." The young girl tells me before throwing a small pebble through the bars "Sorry Luna, but I didn't wanna look suspicious," She speaks with a smile before skipping off away. I smile slightly at the young girl as she grabs a woman's hand, leading her away from me. However I keep my eye on Titus.

I watch him as his mouth parts slightly and his brows raise. He sighs before leaving fully. I watch him leave, My neck burning painfully as I look down at the many glares. This time, an older woman steps up "I pity you child," She sneers, "You thought a mere human could ever have any worth in our pack, In going to enjoy watching you die slowly, painfully." She spits before her hand curls into a fist, hitting my stomach with force.

One by one, people step up, either apologizing for my position or throwing something at me, or poking me with something they brought themselves. With each hit I feel his anger grow. At one point I feel as though my insides might just explode. But as the night draws near and the pack members grow sparse, the pain dies down, and I'm left once more.

I once again feel immediate regret at my outfit choice, not once had I thought about warmth as the nights were getting colder. I prioritized invisibility, which probably didn't change a thing. I shiver as a gust of wind hits the skin I show, my teeth chatter quietly as I lean my head back, trying to get some rest.

In the distance I spot the men I saw earlier today, hung up on their polls, deeply sleeping, their bodies growing thinner and their skin growing paler. I guess I'm thankful I'm not in that position. I cant imagine how much it would hurt to be fully exposed like that. At least I have my bars. I turn to my left. Another girl sits across from me in a cage of her own. It's clear she's been here longer than I have. Her skin is almost white and she looks like a pile of bones.

I haven't seen him today, however I could feel his burning gaze and I swear I saw his shadow in my rooms window, but other than that, nada. I stare up at the sky as I listen to the silence, only occasionally interrupted by a large male cheer from the nearby bar.

"Am I a joke to you?" I whisper to him, to the lord above. "Am I just an experiment, to see how a human could manage in a pack of wolves, literally." My voice is soft as a salty tear runs down my frozen cheek, warming it slightly. "I know unless Titus miraculously has a change of heart tonight it's going to be my last, I can tell, The sun may be warm during the day, but these nights are to bitter to stand, especially when you've been soaked through," A sorry laugh escapes my lips.

I sigh, I know I'm not gonna get a response, "Please look after Charity for me, it's the one thing I want, make sure she doesn't end up in this world, make sure he stays far away from her, please." I beg, I stare up at the sky before letting my head drop.
