The Alpha and The Vigilante novel Chapter 33

I didn't sleep my first night in the cell, determined to figure out the perfect escape plan. I knew that if I was unsuccessful in this escape attempt, and the Blood Alpha caught me, I would likely never get another chance.

Hours after laying on the hard cement floor and feeling the silver chain burning my flesh relentlessly, a guard opened a slot with a shelf among the cell door and left a tray atop of the ledge.

I got up from my position on the floor, walking towards the tray to inspect it, wincing as the heavy silver chain continued to burn through my skin.

The tray contained a plate holding a steaming pile of food. Broccoli, mashed potatoes, steak, bread, and an apple to be exact.

I grabbed the apple and shoved the plate through the slot, off of the ledge on the other side of my cell. I heard the plate shatter half a second later, and I smirked, taking a bite of the apple.

Within seconds, I heard guards rushing towards the cell, and opening the door.

I smiled and waved at them, apple in hand. Their panicked faces quickly turned into confusion, wondering why I had pushed the plate.

"Did you accidentally drop the plate, Luna? We could get you another one. The Alpha said to make sure you eat."

I scoffed at the guard that spoke to me, and the other two stiffly remained flexed, ready for me to attack, it appeared.

I internally laughed at knowing that the Alpha had probably warned them about how prone to violence I am, and my affinity for escaping. Dropping the plate was successful in proving that there would always be guards ready to catch me if I were to escape, and were listening very closely to me. I had no doubt that the Alpha would punish whoever let me escape on their watch severely, and I'm sure he made that very clear with them.

First of all, I'm not your Luna. Secondly, I don't want anything this pack made. Finally, tell the Alpha I said to drop dead.

I mindlinked all of the guards at once, knowing that I could mindlink anyone in the Blood Lake Pack because Alpha Cain had marked me.

The guards looked shocked, probably not expecting me to interact with them, and turned around, not saying a word. I had no doubt they had mindlinked the Alpha to tattle on me.

I sat against the wall of the cell in my new favorite corner, furthest from the door, and made sure to keep the dumb fur pelt as far away from me as possible, so as not to give Alpha Idiot any ideas.

Sure enough, within the hour, the Blood Alpha came into my cell, looking down at me disapprovingly.

I laughed condescendingly at him, infuriating him further.

If this is the worst you can do, you have no right being the Blood Alpha.

Right after I spoke those words in his mind, his self control snapped. He slapped me across the face, leaving my cheek stinging. I smirked at him, loving that I made him lose his control so easily. I punched back, intentionally swinging slower and less strong than I usually do.

"The wolfsbane and silver is already making you weak, mate. Let me know when you're ready to accept your place."

With those words, he left the cell in a flurry, leaving me evilly grinning, already having phase of my escape plan completed on just my first day in the cell.

Now, I just have to figure out how to complete the last two steps.

The next few days in the cell went by painstakingly slowly. Believe it or not, prisoners aren't usually provided with entertainment. To pass the time, I worked out (as much as I could being shackled) and continued to think of a way to escape.
