Booki Chapter13 Sapphire's POV Black . That's all I saw when I finally came to . I used the every ounce of energy I had left and pried my eyes open . My eyes gazed around the room as I took in my surroundings . I was in a prison - like room . Cold concrete floors and bars . Bound to the floor with chains . This feels oddly cliché . I thought to myself " Aw , Sleeping Beauty is awake . " Said an all too familiar voice . Ah yes , continuing with the clichés now are we ? " Crystal . " I spat . Let me introduce Crystal , she was my best friend from birth to about freshman year . We were born on the same day , January 16 , only a minute apart . We were inseparable , the sisters of the Alpha and Beta . She even stuck by me while I was being bullied , even tried to get them to stop . However , she left sophomore year when she found her mate . Blake Martin . Self - appointed " King of the Rogues " . They found each other when his " pack " attacked ours . He died a few months later on a second attack on our pack , comes with the territory of being a rogue . I sat up and took in her appearance . She looked essentially the same as she did before she left . Same bleach blonde hair . Same blue - grey eyes . That's actually how she was named , in the right light they can look like diamonds . However , now they seemed to have lost their shine . She spoke again , " Your very correct , little Sapphire . " I growled , pulling against the chains , " Why am I here ? " " Tsk , Tsk , Tsk , you don't remember anything do you ? " She cocked her head to the side . I growled yet again , " What do I need to remember ? " " Your mate killed Blake . I've had scouts watching the pack's every move . I was going to take Courtney , until knew you were his true mate . " She smirked , " Which makes this all that much better , I take you . He goes crazy trying to find you . He's you showed up . I never vulnerable . I kill him . We're even . " " My mate , " I spat back in the same tone , " is also your brother . " " Details , details . He lost that title when he killed Blake . " " It's his fault , " she interrupted me with a growl , " I mean , if I remember right , Cameron was willing to let them join the pack . He declined . Then Cameron let you all leave with your lives . " I paused , " It was your idiot mate who decided to attack again . " She growled at me again before two men walked in the door , needle in hand . " Perfect timing , " she smiled . I backed up as far as the chains would let me , " Who are you ? " " They are the men who have kept you knocked out for the last two days . Well , not them , the needle in their hand has . " A plan quickly formed in my head . If I could get them to wait just a bit longer , I could send a message to Chase . " You know , Crystal , we should catch up , it has been , what ? 4 years ? You should give me the shot instead of them , you know , to catch up . " I said , sweetly . Book1 Chapter13 She always was gullible , " You're right Sapphire . Jordan , wolfsbane . " She said , snapping her fingers and they handed her the needle before bowing their heads and leaving the room . I could already feel my wolf coming back . " So , how's being " Queen of the Rouges " treating you ? " I asked . She sat down , goddess she's dumb , " Really good actually , all the rouges are like my slaves . I wish Blake were here , ruling with me . It's so lonely . " She looked sad . " I bet , " I responded , " Not having a mate is pretty lonely . " She nodded before there was a small knock on the door . I took the opportunity to reach out to my wolf . I'm here . Send a message to someone . I said , desperately . Working on it . She replied " Mommy ? " A little voice came from behind the door . " Yes sweetie ? " Crystal responded , heading to the door .
