“I’m your mate!” I shouted, my voice raw. “Your Luna!”
“You’re acting like a rabid omega,” he snarled. “Until you can control yourself, you’ll stay locked in this room. That’s an order.”
“No,” I whispered, shaking my head as panic gripped me. “Alpha, please. Don’t do this.”
He didn’t even look at me as he called through the mind link, summoning his guards. Two wolf warriors entered within seconds, their heads bowed.
“Confine her to the bedroom,” Jeremiah ordered coldly. “No one goes in or out unless I say so.”
“Alpha—”
“Now!”
The warriors hesitated, but one look from him was enough. They grabbed my arms, dragging me backward as I struggled.
“Alpha!” I screamed, my voice breaking. “You can’t do this! You can’t—”
He didn’t respond.
Then the door slammed shut, locking me inside.
At first, I screamed. I shouted his name over and over until my throat burned. I pounded my fists against the door until my knuckles split open. But no one came.
The guards outside didn’t move, didn’t speak.
Hours passed, maybe days, I couldn’t tell anymore. The light outside the window shifted from gold to gray to darkness again. There was no food. No water.
Only silence.
