Madeline's POV:
I've spent what feels like for ever stuck in my nightmare. As Louis was whipping my back for the millionth time I started to slip into a black abyss.

I heard a man's voice, one I've learned as my soulmate. I'm not exactly sure what they are, but I know they're very important to people.

There were people in the cells, they looked in love, they called each other mates. I envied them they had someone, I had no one but Louis. Makes me want to puke just thinking about it.

I suddenly started to get all hot, and it fell like my heart was beating out of my chest. I started to panic, what was wrong with me I hadn't felt like this since I, well I don't know because I'm not sure where I am.

Am I still my 10 year old self? I didn't feel like I was 10 anymore I just felt older. 

Pain. I couldn't feel anything, I was numb yet and the same time everything hurt. I didn't feel my heart beating in my chest. I couldn't breath.

As a burning pain went through my neck I heard the words "You have my heart in the palms of your hand Madeline." "Take it and don't let go."

So I did just that.

                          Elliot's POV:
As I bit into the neck of my mate, a sense of power actually overwhelmed me. I guess when people say your mate makes you stronger, it's true.

I lay Madeline's head on her pillow, her heart started to slowly beat. I let out a grateful sigh.

"Thank you Moon Goddess" I whispered lowly under my breath.

Elle came up and hugged me, " thank you for saving my daughter Elliot" Elle said.

"I wouldn't have it any other way" I told her genuinely.

Me and Alex were so happy we will be forever in debt to the Moon Goddess for saving our little mate.

For a little while we all just sat there, I was staring at my mate. She looked so peaceful, I loved her so damn much.

I went and laid on her bed, her family left to give us privacy. I wrapped an arm around my mate as I fell into a deep sleep.

I was in a grimy cell, there was a metal bed that you could tell had been slept on for years. A bucket hoping that it wasn't what I thought it was used for, and a dirty cracked plate with some bread.

I was high alert I didn't know where I was, the last thing I remember was falling asleep.

I'm dreaming... I think?

"Ahhhhhhhhhh please stop I- I- I'm sorry."

I peer down the hallway that the scream came from to see multiple cells with people huddled in the corners. The cells were laced with a silver-wolfsbane it was so strong I could feel myself growing weaker.

A man came down the hallway with some kind of mask on he didn't seem to know I was there so I didn't hide. I could easily beat his ass if he tried anything.

Me being the idiot I am went and stood in front of him, he walked right past me into a cell with a little boy.

He went in and starting hitting the little boy with a belt he was crying and screaming for his mom.

I tried to stop it but it was like I didn't exist here.

Weird

I then heard the same scream again and started running in the direction of it. All the walls and floors were concrete and you could see blood and dirt almost molded into them, like someone hastily cleaned not caring about a stain.

The screams were coming from what looked to be a basement. I walked down the steps, there weren't any lights but werewolves don't need lights to see so I could see fine.

I walked down and what I saw brought tears to my eyes.

Right on the cold cement floor was a younger version of Madeline. She looked so sweet and innocent it made my blood boil watching the old man whip her over and over.

It all made sense now, the mark lets him see what she's dreaming. I can't do anything because these were past memories. That thought alone brought tears to my eyes.

My mate has endured more pain than anyone I've ever met, she's so strong.

"Bitch go back to your cell, I don't want to see you anymore." The old man tells Madeline

"Yes s-sir" Madeline whispers.

He kicks her hard making her scurry up the stairs faster. This makes me growl, how could he treat a little girl like this? How could anyone treat anybody like this?

I was brought out of that dream and into a new one Madeline was sleeping in her cell, and there was growling outside everyone was panicking. They were under attack.

I tried to yell at Madeline tell her to get up and run, but of course it didn't work.

As the growls got louder Madeline woke up quickly, she looked scared. It looked like she was trying to get up but couldn't she tried for awhile before she broke down crying.

Then a woman ran up and helped her out, I take a good look at her, she is saving my mate.

They run out for awhile, they keep running till they can't, they lay down to sleep for the night.

The next thing I know it's morning and rogues are attacking them, they run as fast as they can to get to the pack border.

They don't make it though Madeline is pinned to a tree by a rogue and he rips a part of her arm out.

She was starting to give up, she became limps and the rogue smiled. All I could do was stand there tears coming out of my eyes. I'm supposed to be a strong alpha , but if anybody was seeing this could they stay strong?

I felt helpless weak I couldn't do anything. My mate was dying and I couldn't do a damn thing.

Then all of the sudden another pack showed up and started killing the rogues. Someone ran to Madeline and starting running back the way they came.

I caught a glimpse of him and it was Josh. He saves his daughter, no wonder he was so protective. What father wants to see his daughter like that.

I woke up in the same spot as when I fell asleep realizing that those weren't Madeline's dreams. That was Madeline's life.
