Broken 'N' Loved

Alpha Michael POV

"So, you are saying that Alpha Jack kills his own kind for a coat?" I was absolutely furious to hear about this. No pack should have to go through what they are going through. Kelly looks up to me and nods her head yes. Nick than looks at her confused "How can he harvest a wolf's coat? When a wolf dies, they both die." I look at her just as confused as Nick is. She looks down at her lap, "What many people do not know about my wolf coat is, we can live without the other half. Most of us choose not to though. When the human dies, we shift to our wolf form and live in the wild. When our wolf dies, we shift back to human form and live our lives as a regular human." You can hear the sadness through her voice. It makes my wolf and I upset seeing her like that. I look at her to see that she has tears in her eyes.

Beta Nick looks upset about the fact that she has to go through that as well, he says "What does he do with the coat?" She gulps and looks up at him, "It depends on who will give the highest price for them. Some will pay up to five thousand dollars for one coat. The hunters pay more for them, than anyone else, due to the fact that they take it to the black market. They get three times that if they take a live one to the market, I guess. Alpha Jack said that I wasn't going to be in that situation, though. He told me that when the time came, I was to be his, mate?" I look at her and lean my elbows on my knees, "How did you escape him?". Kelly looks up, "We got out with the help of another prisoner. When I was taken to the dungeons at the age of nine, he threw us in the same cell as this prisoner. The prisoner helped me by keeping me safe from the guards and sometimes giving me some of his food. The day I ran away, he showed me the hole he has been working on, I was small enough to get through, but he was not. So, he told me to go, to run and not to stop unless necessary. I wanted to help him, but he told me to leave before they found out that I had gotten away. So, I told him I was sorry and ran."

I look at Nick and then back to her, "You have been in his dungeon since you were nine? Why? Where were your parents?" When I looked up at her after that, she was crying. She put head in her hands, "Alpha Jack killed them in front of my eyes. They were trying to protect me, but they were not strong enough. They changed into their wolves after their human was killed, Alpha Jack saw that my mother was the same as me and skinned her. My dad was a pure black wolf, so he just killed him. He took me and threw me in the dungeons. My parents said that I had an older brother, but they did not know what happened to him, He just left one day and was never seen again." She has tears in her eyes when she looks back up at us. I do not know what to say at this point, how can someone be so cruel to do that to anyone? What I do know, is that she will never go back to him, if I have anything to do with it.
