Chapter 94

Silver’s POV

It was a sleepless night, and I spent most of the day isolated in the bedroom while my brother did Goddess knows what. My nerves were on high alert. One rogue came into my room at some point during the day to give me some food, but I refused to eat it. I didn’t trust anything they gave me. She told me that Scott wanted me to have my strength for later that evening because I would need it, but I told her I wouldn’t consume anything they gave me.

Scott came to see me later in the afternoon and he had a smug look on his face.

“My spell is complete and now I just need to cast it,” he told me, folding his arms across his chest as he leaned against the doorframe. “We are going to your darling husband's pack in a couple of hours. It’ll be the last time you ever see him alive.”

My heart fell deep into my stomach. I wasn’t sure what to say, so I chose not to say anything for right now. I let my eyes fall to the ground, not able to look him in the eyes. He smirked, taking my silence as a win.

“You should eat something, you’ll need your strength,” he told me, pushing off the doorframe.

I shook anything.

“I don’t trust you,” I murmured. “I won’t consume anything given to me here.”

“You ate when you first got here,” he said, folding his arms across his chest.

“Because you didn’t want to hurt me when I first got here. Now that I’m a traitor, I’m not sure what you’ll do to me.”

He scoffed at my words.

“We need you alive for this plan to come together. I need your powers, so we aren’t going to hurt you until we need to.”

I shuddered at his words, “until we need to.”

My chest tightened; I couldn’t lift my gaze to look at him. I refused to let him see me break.

He smirked as he stepped through the door to leave the room.

“Suit yourself,” he murmured. “I’ll see you later tonight.”

Without another word, he closed the door, leaving me alone with my thoughts. I finally allowed the tears that I’d been holding in to fall out of my eyes and roll down my cheeks.

Elliot… please… keep yourself safe because I am unable to keep you safe.

At some point, I must have fallen asleep. It was either because I was growing weak, and depressed, or maybe I was just exhausted after spending the entire night in panic mode. But I woke up when I felt my hand falling to my side. The silver cuff was still wrapped around my wrist, but it was no longer attached to the bedpost. There were a couple of rogues standing around me, making sure I didn’t go anywhere.

I jumped at the sight of them; one of them was the rogue from last night who brought Scott to me. He had a glimmer of humor in his eyes as he grabbed me and pulled me out of the bed. My entire body ached from sitting in the same position the entire night.

Once I got to my feet, they started to push me towards the door. None of them said anything and that made me even more nervous.

“W…what are you doing?” I stammered. I was trying to see if I could find a clock, but there were none. Based on the window, it was dark outside, so I knew it was probably almost time for the takeover.

My heart hammered wildly in my chest.

When we walked around the corner, Scott was waiting at the doorway with a wide smile on his face.

“Get her in the car,” he said, motioning for the car sitting out front. It wasn’t there earlier, and I wondered where it came from.

“Right away, Boss,” one of the rogues said as they continued to push me through the door.

“You’ll never get away with this,” I said through my teeth as I passed my brother.

His smile widened.

“That’s where you are wrong, Silver. Because I already got away with it,” he laughed humorlessly.

I swallowed the lump that formed in my throat and went with the rogues to the car. They shoved me into the backseat and one of them got into the driver’s seat.

Scott slid into the passenger’s seat and two more rogues sat on either side of me.

“The others will meet us there,” Scott announced as we drove away from the rundown shack of a home. This was the first time I had seen it from the outside. We were in the middle of a forest and based on the rancid scent, we were in rogue territory. That wasn’t surprising though; my brother was pretty much the rogue king at this point. They all respected and trusted him. It gave me a sickening feeling in the pit of my stomach.

It took us over an hour to reach familiar territory and my heart hammered in my chest. I tried to use my mindlink once we reached pack borders, but the silver cuff around my wrist prevented me from doing so. I could already see the Gammas patrolling the pack and I couldn’t help but smirk.

Did my brother think it was going to be that easy to get into the pack? They would never let a group of random rogues into the pack, even if they were keeping me hostage.

“What’s the plan now?” I asked him. “They aren’t going to let you in.”

He turned and I saw a smile on his lips.

“That’s where you are wrong,” he told me.

I furrowed my brows, unsure of what he was talking about. His eyes started to glow red and soon, the rogues no longer smelled like rogues. My heart fell deep inside my stomach.

“They still won’t let you in,” I told him, hating that my voice was quivering. “They aren’t stupid.”

He grinned as he glanced at his dashboard. My eyes followed his and I saw that it was only a couple of minutes to midnight. I took a shaky breath and met his eyes again. I suddenly understood too well what he was planning.

“Scott… please don’t do this. You don’t have to do this. Elliot did nothing wrong… he—”

“Shut up!” He growled. “I won’t let you talk me out of this. We had been planning this for a long time and you aren’t going to ruin a thing for us.”

“This is my home…” I said, trying to reason with him.

He laughed bitterly and shook his head.

“It was never your home, Silver,” he murmured. “You are just being naive and one day, you’ll see that too. You’ll thank me for this one day darling sister. It’s not too late to switch sides and be our ally.”

“She will never be our ally,” the rogue next to me muttered. “She will never understand where we are coming from. She will always be our enemy.”

“She’s my sister,” Scott growled. “Show her some respect even if she is a traitor.”

“Never,” the rogue hissed, his eyes glowing with fury.

I opened my mouth to say something in my defense, but it was too late. Flashes of light clouded my vision, and I screamed in pain as the familiar headache slammed into my head.

“Holy shit,” one of the rogues gasped as he stared at me.

I could see multiple different colored lights flashing in front of my eyes, clouding my vision from everything around me. I knew I was transforming, and the pain was too much for me to handle. I didn’t have Elliot with me to help soothe the pain, I was completely on my own at this moment. Tears burned my eyes as I lowered my head, burying my face in my hands as I attempted to take in deep breaths

My entire body shook and trembled as I struggled to maintain my sanity. I screamed out as my head hurt even more. My hair fell in front of my face, and I saw that it was white; I could only imagine how I must have looked to the others who had never seen me like this before.

“She’s a monster,” another rogue said in awe.

“No, she’s my sister,” Scott said with a smirk. “She hasn’t been able to control her powers and that’s the result of it. Let’s get her into the pack.”

I still wondered how exactly he was going to successfully get me into the pack, but when he pulled up to the gammas and I heard him panicking and saying that I was in trouble, it only took them one look at me to allow the car access into the pack. I heard them saying something about mindlinking Elliot and then the car drove forward, leaving the guards standing there and watching after us with their mouths on the ground.

I screamed out in pain again, tears streaming down my cheeks and then I heard Scott laughing with joy.

“It’s showtime.”
