Cooper

My jaw hit the floor. My heart practically stopped. On CAM14,  the most beautiful girl I had ever seen sat on the cot in the cell. Her flowing, wavy hair spilled over a perfect body with curves that made Bo howl with delight. Her slender, elegant face was creased with...yearning? If so, what did she want? I had so many things to ask this girl, so much to say....As I watched, Doug introduced her to Stella, and then he left, and the girls began talking about something, but the camera didn't have a microphone, so I couldn't tell what they were talking about. I, however, am not allowed to talk to the prisoners.

"Mr. Smithlock? Are you done here?" The head of security, Dylan Sparr, stood in the doorway, eyes narrowed.

"Yes," I responded. "One thing, though. What is this girl's na--"

"I don't know." He answered swiftly. "I will ask Doug to get her name later. Now, if everything is to your satisfaction, thank you for visiting. See you next week."

On that positive note, he practically shoved me out the door of the security room and herded me outside. I was so confused that it never once occurred to me that a beta was pushing me, the alpha's son, around. What was going on that he didn't want me to see?

-----------------------------------------------------------------

I sat at the dinner table with the rest of my family. They were all done eating, but I couldn't stop thinking about that girl and Dylan's behavior, so I still had my entire steak sitting on my plate.

"Cooper, hurry up so I can do the dishes." My twin sister, Roxanne Smithlock growled impatiently. I understood why. She wanted to text her friends, and the longer I took, the less time she had to text and get in snapchat...and Facebook...and Instagram...and Twitter. I don't understand why she likes texting so much, though.

My mom put her hand on my back. "Are you okay?" She asked. I nodded without hearing her. She saw through my act, though. "Did something happen in the jail?"

"Yes, everything happened. I saw a hottie on a security camera, and a beta bossed me around as though I were an omega. Otherwise, yeah,  nothing happened. Nothing at all." I thought. Aloud, I said, "Nothing much, really."

"Okay." My mom bodded and dismissed the topic, clearly not caring at all. She left without a sound.

"COOPER, YOU'D BETTER FINISH EATING SOON, OR I WILL KICK YOU WHERE THE SUN DOESN'T SHINE TO ENSURE THAT YOU WILL NEVER HAVE KIDS!" Roxy howled.

The thing about my family is that we never get along, not even my parents. They argue and fight so much, and when all four of us get together for meals, we're so stiff and polite around each other.

It's a pretty weak example for the Alpha Family to set for the rest of the pack, but none of them know about this. We always text each other to let everyone know dinner is ready, and we never hug, or apologize, or... act like a family.

Stella brought me my lunch, which consisted of stale, flavorless bread, cloudy water with suspicious-looking objects swimming in it, raw, bruised potatoes, and a tiny piece of something that looked like a chicken's stomach if I had to take a guess. Under the potatoes, however, I found some grilled beef and I gulped it down, wisely leaving the rest of the meal alone.

"Hey, Stella, did you make the beef?" I asked.

She looked at me hesitantly. "Yes."

"It's amazing. Thanks for helping me out." I really didn't understand why she was helping, but I didn't care. I was famished.

Luckily, she answered that for me.

"You know, there's a reason why I want to help you."

"Oh, really? Why's that?" I wondered.

Stella looked away for a moment, and when she looked back, there were tears in her eyes. "There's something you need to know about this prison. The head of security loves the company of younger women."

Kinda creepy, isn't it? What do you think is gonna happen next? Please leave your comments by the paragraph.

Thanks for reading!
