Vines threatened to trap her in their tangles and limbs from saplings crashed into her muzzle, but none of this deterred her. Black ears swiveling back behind her, she paused for only a moment as she listened for any following paw steps. In the far off distance she could hear the pounding of patrols from her pack racing in her direction, but she had a good head start. Tearing off once again into the forest, she ran deeper into it's thick confines. The undergrowth began to thin out into bushes and the trees started to grow taller, more abundant.<br/><br/>Leaping over a small ravine, Belle skidded to a sudden, tumbling stop. Almost having crashed into the large frame of a wolf as it towered over her. Staring up at him in fear as she watched him scrutinize her every move, she slowly tried to stand. But in an instant her world went dark.<br/>~~~~~~~~~~~~<br/>When Belle woke, she was chained to the floor of a cold, damp cellar. The silver of the chains bit into her very flesh and she was naked as the day she was first born. A small group of men headed in her direction, silence blanketing the group as they approached. The two big men in the front moved to the side, letting a slim but powerful looking woman through to the cellar. "Open the cellar door Shiloh," she commanded of the cellar guard.<br/><br/>Shiloh respectfully nodded to the woman before opening the door allowing her inside. The woman entered and crossed over to Belle's side. "Do not be afraid of me young one. I bring nothing but news to you and some clothes that hopefully will fit you," she said gently, smiling a little bit to show she meant no harm. Setting a small pile of clothes in front of Belle, the woman removed the chains and allowed her to dress. Belle was far too aware of the woman's power to try and harm her as she dressed. The shirt was a little loose but it protected her from the cold so she was thankful for it. Her pants fit her perfectly, the black in the jeans complimenting the red in her shirt.<br/><br/>"Now, my Mate is the Alpha and was thinking of killing you for trespassing. Especially at such a dangerous time as this one for our pack. However, I convinced him and the council to consider you for being an Omega. Unfortunately the agreed as long as the chains stay on and you are kept under watchful eye. Do not mistake my kindness for weakness young one, I am simply giving you a chance to prove you are no threat to my pack," the woman explained Belle's situation to her as she locked the chains back onto her.<br/><br/>The woman gave Belle a sympathetic look and brushed her bangs away from her face gently. "Young one, I hope you do not mean us any harm. You are so young, much too young to die without ever having had a chance at this life. You start work tomorrow at the pack's party, you will be working in the kitchen cleaning up after all of us. Sleep well until then my dear," she said softly, petting Belle's head a little bit in comfort before leaving the cell. Belle watched the woman leave and sunk back to her knees.<br/><br/>So she was a slave now? Well it was better than being where she was she supposed. Shifting into her wolf form, she gave a small whimper as the silver from the chains bit into her flesh. Curling up on the floor of the cell, Belle squeezed her eyes shut, forcing herself to sleep. Tomorrow would be a new day for her.
