Stop with the questions. The Moon Goddess sent me we don’t have much time the faint voice whispered. Tonight when dinner comes, eat everything

Don’t leave a single crumb.”

‘But it’s poisoned, I mumbled through my drug-hazed mind.

“Not tonight. Eat it all to flush the toxins from your system. By morning, you’ll reconnect with your wolf. The shadowy figure leaned closer. That’s all I can

1. The rest is on you.”

I frowned, ‘I can’t leave Freya behind. That psycho will take it out on her. And Ill need to find Mia.”

“Mia’s fine she’s been switching your food. You’re the priority. We have people outside.”

‘Which way do I run? I don’t even know where we are.”

“Moonlight will guide you.”

“That’s your answer?” I growled, my skull pounding from the latest beating. I need real directions.”

It’s all I can tell you. Take Freya and trust your instincts. Footsteps echoed in the hallway.

Desperation crept into my voice. ‘How has he hidden so many people? How do we stop him?”

“Take down as many warriors as you can,’ she whispered. “They’re controlled by dark magic. Weaken his army, weaken his power. You’ve already seen it

working.

“That doesn’t answer my question how do we take him down for good?”

‘Once you escape, he’ll hunt you. He knows who you are now and won’t let go easly.” Footsteps echoed in the hallway. “Gotta go. Remember – eat

everything!”

She rushed away. Muffled voices filtered through the door. I hoped she’d have a decent excuse for being here, or she’d pay a heavy price for this risk.

I nudged Freya’s ankle with my foot. ‘Freya, wake up.”

“What?” she finally mumbled, her voice raspier than usual. “Last time you didn’t have to watch his performance, he took it out on me instead. Everything

hurts.”

“Someone just snuck in here. She said we need to eat all our food tonight. It ll ge us back our strength so we can escape.”

Freya let out a bitter laugh. “Hallucinating now? Of course they want us taking o meds like good little prisoners. She started turning away.

“Wait!” I lowered my voice. ‘She knew Mia’s being held here. Said the Moon Goddess sent her.

And you believe any stranger who says a few nice things? Bitterness dripped from her words. “This is reality. Accept it.”

“No way in hell, I nearly shouted before catching myself. She said to take down as many of them as possible. It’s how we draw Brandon out. Im not rotting in this cage, and you shouldn’t either.”

Chapter 145: Don’t Worry Anymore

“Do what you want. Just don’t get caught. Brandon won’t be gentle if he finds out no matter how much he wants you.”

I’m not leaving you here to suffer,” I said firmly.

‘I’m not risking it. Things are bad enough. Getting caught would only make everything worse.”

I played my last card: “You’re an Alpha’s daughter!”?

That finally got her attention. She slowly lifted her head, and I felt the faint aura of Alpha lineage emanating from her.

“That’s it stop acting weak. Fight for your dignity. Your pack might still be searching for you. Get out with me!”

She growled before turning away again. I didn’t push further. She needed space to think. Regardless, I wouldn’t leave her behind. Though she was skin and bones, her remaining muscle tone told me she still had fight in her. Worst case, d carry her myself.

I turned my attention to the chains. The ankle restraints were too tight – no way to slip free without breaking something, which would be fatal during escape. So I focused on the handcuffs instead, looking for weak points. My right hand was dominant, so I’d free my left first.

Just as my left hand started slipping through, keys jingled outside. The door swung open, and one of Brandon’s lackeys strutted in helped torture Freya, Mia, and who knows how many other girls.

– one of the bastards who

He approached with a disgusting smile. “Finally awake. Alpha will be pleased.” He set down a crude plate with dry bread and a brownish apple, all sprinkled

with white powder.

“I didn’t wake up to please anyone,” I replied coldly. “Even with all those drugs, you can’t control people forever.” I kicked the plate away.

“Can’t wait to see Alpha tame a stubborn bitch like you. Soon you’ll beg for mercy

“That the best you’ve got?” Something about his face made me want to provoke him more. “Your life must be seriously pathetic if torturing girls is your idea

of importance.

His face twisted as he raised his hand to slap me.

‘I wouldn’t do that if I were you.” A familiar voice came from the doorway. “Alpha wants to see her, and he specifically said no marks. He wants her perfect

for breeding.”

Peter. My stomach clenched with anger as he stood there, acting like nothing was wrong with my imprisonment.

‘Make sure she eats, then get out,’ Peter commanded. ‘You have other duties.”

‘Don’t tell me what to do,’ the guard sneered. “Last I heard, you got demoted for ailing to catch her alone.”

‘She’s here now, isn’t she?’ Peter gestured toward me..

“No thanks to you,’ the guard taunted. “Took the whole squad to get her.”

“Obviously, Peter replied calmly. “I m not stupid enough to take her on alone. Why do you think Alpha sent a team? Pay more attention to what’s happening around you. Might improve your standing then you wouldn’t be stuck with guar duty

The guard growled but headed for the door. As he passed Peter, I caught a quick and movement at the guard’s waist, followed by keys falling to the floor.

“Can’t even keep track of your own stuff, Peter mocked, his eyes flicking betwee the keys and me.
