The boys were still stuck in the dungeon feeling helpless and worrying about the girls. Rouge looked over to Lex, “I support whatever you chose Lex, you know that.” Lex rolled his eyes irritated with Rouge, “but yet you dare to tell me that I do not know what love is.” Mark looked at both of them confused he wanted to ease the tension once again but was also confused, “do any of us know what love is?” Rouge sighed, “Love is when your heart aches for someone when you can’t imagine your life without them, you would do anything for that person.” Rouge looked to the ground. Everyone went silent, looking at Rouge.
“Have you ever been in love before,” Lex hesitantly asked Rouge. Rouge looked away and sighed, “a long time ago.” Lex walked over to Rouge curious to hear more, “how come you never told us about it?” Rouge looked at Lex and Mark and then back to the ground, “because I was a stupid sixteen-year-old.” “Who was she,” Lex asked excitedly. Rouge smiled thinking about her, “she was a human named Mercy.” Lex and Mark are both shocked, “A human!” They shouted in disbelief. Rouge looked up at them, “yes, a human.” “What happened,” Mark curiously asked. The smile slowly disappeared off of Rouge's face, “the head of the orphanage found out.” Rouge looked down, “he killed her.”
Everyone was silent, the room felt tense. “He told me if I ever trusted a human again they will die too,” Rouge said while his voice sounded like he was in a lot of pain. Lex looked extremely concerned, “why would they do that.” Mark looked at Rouge extremely saddened, “it seems werewolves are more corrupt than we thought.” All of them nodded agreeing with Mark. Lex looked up at Rouge, “The way you felt about Mercy is the way I feel about Mya.” Rouge sighed, “I know and I’ll try not to interfere. Lex confused asked Rouge, “what do you mean you’ll try not to?” Rouge looked down in shame, “I feel the same way about Mya as I did about Mercy.”

Mark's face lit up like a light bulb, “that’s why you’ve been trying not to get close to her.” Rouge sighed once more, “I rather her be happy and live than for me to be happy and she dies.” Lex looked at Rouge shocked, he was speechless for a moment, “you have feelings for her.” Lex said in shock. “I’m sorry Lex,” Rouge apologetically said. Lex looked down thinking, he mumbled, “it’s fine.” The Alpha slowly appeared on the other side of their cell bars. The Alpha had both girls with him holding each one roughly by their arm.
“I found the rest of your group,” The Alpha smiled cynically. Lira looked at the Alpha with tears in her eyes from the pain she was in, “please let go, you’re hurting me.” The Alpha looked at Lira and smiled. “Lex go!” Mya yelled at The Alpha with some spunk behind her words. Mya’s face told a different story though. She was clenching her teeth and scrunching her face. She was in a lot of pain but she was better at hiding it than Lira. “Let them go,” Rouge shouted at the Alpha, he was furious. Lex butted in, “Yeah you only need us.” The Alpha smiled and chuckled, “but I can’t have the rest of you collecting the books.” The Alpha looked at the girls and smiled at the boys, “you care for them.” “so here’s my idea how about you watch me execute them.” All the boys looked at the Alpha with horrified and defeated expressions.
