“Let me out!” I shout and bang on the door. Over and over I bang and bang until my hands start to bleed from splinters. I grit my teeth with tears in my eyes. “You crazy lady! Let me go!” I kick the door now before sliding to the floor tears running down my face.

How long have I been locked in this room? Hours? Days? Weeks? I can’t figure out a way to tell time down here. No windows, no outside noises… am I in a basement? I don’t know but I do know one thing for sure: that lady is out of her mind!

She won’t let me leave and keeps saying so much nonsense that I could scream! If only I could rush past her but she never gives me an opening and if I fail, I don’t get to eat. How did I get here? And why does she keep lying to me? She’s the bad guy! She kidnapped me so why is she painting Mom that way instead?

I don’t know but I need to escape and make it home. I need to go back to my real mother so I don’t have to hear any more of this lady’s lies!

– Sometime before-

I stir and let out a groan of pain. My head feels like it’s split open it hurts so much! My body also feels sore… what happened to me? I open my eyes but everything looks dark and foggy.

“… my pup…” I hear a faint voice and try to look towards it. I can’t make out the figure in the dark. “… shh… all better soon…” I close my eyes again and find myself floating away.

When I open my eyes next, things have become clearer. My head aches but not nearly as bad as before. I sit up and put a hand on my head before pausing. Why do I have bandages wrapped around my head?

I frown and try to think back on what happened. I was playing with Ebony in the woods… teasing her… complaining internally about not going to the big party… what happened after that?

“Oh good! You’re awake!” I jump hearing a stranger’s voice and look up. At an open door is a lady with blonde hair and crazed-looking eyes. I flinch away as she approaches me. “Don’t be scared, baby. You’re finally home.” She sits on the bed and I scramble back in fear.

I’m home? What does she mean? I stare at her dumbly while she beams happily. “My name is Dahlia! And I’m your real mother.” She reaches out to me and frowns when I glare at her. “What’s wrong, baby? Don’t you recognize me?”

I let out a small growl. “You’re not my mom! And this isn’t my home!” It suddenly comes back to me. Running away from a wolf who attacked Zoey, rolling down a hill holding Ebony tight, and hitting my head in the end. “What did you do to Zoey and Ebony?!”

Are they badly hurt? Is Ebony alright? My mind is racing which only makes it hurt worse but I don’t care! “You’re crazy! Get away from me! Leave me alone!” I kick at her and force myself against a wall wanting to be as far away as possible.

Dahlia looks hurt for a moment. “How can you say that to me, pup? You’re obviously mine! You look exactly like your father!” Her eyes then darken. “That bitch brainwashed you… yeah, that’s it! She switched you out with her dead pup to hurt me!” She stands up and starts to pace muttering to herself. “Daisy just wants to hurt me… she’s jealous of me like always!”

I feel myself growing weary and look over to the open door. If I can make a run for it and escape… I dart my eyes over to the crazy lady before I jump up and take off. The world spins but I just go for it.

However, I don’t make it halfway as Dahlia suddenly grabs me and tosses me back on the bed. Her crazed eyes make me cower as I can tell that I only made her mad. “How dare you?!”

Before I know what’s happening, her palm strikes my right cheek hard and my ears start to ring as I fall off the bed. I feel

dazed and dizzy as I touch my cheek and look up at Dahlia again.

“I bring you back home and you try and escape?! Ha! Looks like that bitch has raised you into a little brat! Don’t worry though… I’ll make sure you’re taught well before you meet your true father.” Dahlia smirks and I shudder. “You won’t be getting any food today. Until you learn to respect me, you’ll just have to starve.”

With that Dahlia spins on her heels and storms out of the room. She shuts the door and I hear several clicks. How many locks are on this door? I sit in silence and tears start to stream down my face.

I just want to go home. I want to cuddle with Mom and Dad and forget all of this. Maybe this is all just one big nightmare! It’s all I can hope for even if I know it’s useless. That slap hurt bad and I still feel dizzy to the point of feeling sick.

“Mom… Dad… please find me…” I whimper and close my eyes tightly. “I wanna go home… please… I just want to wake up and be home…”

Oh, how I wish this was all just a nightmare but that’s just wishful thinking. All I know is this musty room and only get any sort of social interactions when Dahlia comes down with food or some stupid ramblings.

“Your parents are only going to replace you with your twin siblings when they’re born! You’re not their real son anyway.” Dahlia had said in an arrogant tone. “They’ll forget all about you and then where will you be?”

Liar! She thought that it was news to me but it wasn’t! Mom told me before she told Dad because she wanted to let me know! I’ve been asking for a sibling for a couple of years now and to have two on the way. That’s great! I can teach them how to win over our parents and the pack!

All of what Dahlia says is nothing but lies! She wants to make herself look good and earn brownie points with me! Nothing she says makes me like her at all and only makes her look even crazier to me.

I had to stop trying to escape after two more tries though. My hunger got so bad that it felt like rats were gnawing inside of my tummy. I refuse to kiss up to Dahlia though as it doesn’t feel right. I’d be betraying Mom if I did!

I jump when I hear the clicks of all the locks and watch as Dahlia steps inside and grins happily. “Hello, pup! Your momma is back!” She says carefully making me want to gag. However, she has a couple of sandwiches that make my mouth water just looking at them.

“Your daddy is back too! Once I know you’ll be on your best behavior then I’ll introduce you to him.” Dahlia goes on and walks over to me. “His name is Tristian and he’s the Alpha of our pack making me his proud Luna.”

Dahlia rambles on about nothing important and I just eat the sandwiches in a hurry. She’s changed her mind a couple of times already so I make haste in eating them.
