Lila’s POV
“You can’t be serious,” I said, staring at Brody who was barely hanging onto life. “He’ll die.”
“I want to see everything you can do. Show me,” Robert said in a darkening tone.
“I can do that without Brody,” I said, staring up at him. “I won’t hurt him.”
“I wasn’t asking. You’re making this quite difficult for me.”
“I don’t care,” I said through my teeth. “Find another way. I won’t hurt him. I will turn my powers on you the first chance I get and show you what I can really do.”
I could see his swallowing a lump in his throat as he stared around my incredibly serious face. I clenched my fists, feeling the power surging through my body. This room was giving me my abilities back and I could nearly feel my wolf waking as we spoke.
She was confused and hadn’t quite gotten her voice back, but she was there, and I was ready to use every part of me to get both Brody and me out of here.
However, before I could do anything, someone came up behind me and placed cuffs around my wrists, which instantly weakened me. As fast as my wolf was returning to me, she was already gone.
“Punish him,” Robert muttered, turning away from me. “Then, bring him back to the cell.”
I let out a scream as a couple more men came out of the shadow region and towards Brody. I was being held in place so I could watch as they beat Brody till he was nothing but a bloody and bruised mess.
Tears sprang from my eyes, and I kept myself from sobbing by biting hard onto my bottom lip. My entire heart shattered as they continued to beat him. He was completely unconscious; my only hope was that he felt no pain.

Enzo’s POV
The closer we got to the old chapel, the more I could smell Lila’s scent. I knew for certain she was there and so did Bastien because he picked up his speed once we neared the front entrance.
However, we never got the chance to get through the front doors because a bunch of rogue goons were standing outside.
They were large black wolves with yellow eyes, snaring their large canines at us, growling with saliva dripping off their mouths.
“Out of our ways,” Bastien hissed before I had the chance to. “I’m here to get my daughter back.”
“You aren’t getting anything,” one of the rogues growled in return. “Nobody is getting in, and nobody is getting out.”
“Don’t make us fight you!”
They howled in laughter at Bastien’s threat.
“There is way more of us than there are of you. You have no chance against us.”
“You are going to regret those words,” I found myself hissing as I lunged towards them, snaring my own teeth and growling as loudly as I could.
I could no longer contain Max; he was out for blood, and he was determined to get our mate back. I could feel his fury boiling through my bones and giving me strength.
Bastien was right behind me; he was ready to attack as well, and I was glad to have him there by my side. I would have to come up with an excuse for my passion later but for right now all I could think about was getting Lila out of that building.
The rogue wolves were large and strong, but they weren’t a match for Bastien and me. They put up a fierce fight. I could smell the scent of fresh blood as I dug my teeth into the flesh of one of the rogues, ripping at their fur and hearing a loud yelp escaping his lips.
I felt a sharp pain in my lower back as large claws scraped through my thick fur. I quickly spun my head around and chomped down on his shoulder blade, watching as he fell to the ground.
Bastien was busy fighting his way toward the doorway when the door swung open, and a much larger and more familiar wolf came walking out.
