When I woke up, I was in a state of confusion. My head was throbbing in pain as I sat up. Looking at my surroundings, I realized I was in a cage. It took me a moment to process what this meant. Right, we had been captured, I remembered.
Then I felt something on my neck, and my hand went to touch it. I recognized it was a collar…the one that prevented the use of wolf forms. They put one on me. I tested changing to my wolf form, and nothing came of it. I also felt weaker. So, this is what having a collar felt like.
I looked around and found Maya lying down not too far from me. She was still unconscious, and her injured leg was bleeding. I went to her. It seemed the men had removed the cage from her leg, but they hadn't treated her. What's worse, she also had a collar.
