I shrugged.All we can do is watch.
Rick came to a stop and Vince clutched my body closer to his chest and I heard a soft inhale. “She’s still asleep. Let’s get her into a cell and then we can bring the kid home.” Vince moved towards the door and I was transported back to my first life.
“Brandon, please, I didn’t do anything. Our pup-”
Brandon’s enraged growl stopped my voice. “Stop fucking lying.” He dragged me by the arm into the building on the edge of our pack lands. I could just make out the field where we held our mating ceremony years earlier.
“Baby please.” I begged him, but he continued to drag me down and the door slammed behind us with a heavy clang. There was a wolf there, bored and tired, watching the door with keys.
“Open it.” Brandon kicked the cell, and the wolf hustled over. He unlocked the cage and Brandon tossed me in. I covered my stomach, trying to protect my pup as I rolled into the tiny room. My back touched the back bars, and I hissed, silver. The bars were silver.
“Brandon, Goddess, please don’t leave me here. I’m pregnant with our pup. This place will kill me.” I shrieked as I ran towards the open door, but he slammed it shut, locking me in.
“Good. I fucking hope you and that fucking abomination die in here. What the fuck am I supposed to do with a pup that isn’t mine? He will do nothing for me!” He screamed as he turned to face the guard. “No food, no water. Do not speak with her.”
“Yes Alpha.” He looked at me and then opened his mouth.
“What?” Brandon snapped.
“She is my Luna…”
He snorted. “She was injected with wolfsbane. She won’t be commanding anything from you. Just do as you’re told.”
The guard nodded, and Brandon walked out, slamming the door behind him. Leaving me in this hellhole.
I was suddenly back in the present as Vince laid me down on the bed. I felt a sharp jab in my neck, and the telltale burn of wolfsbane entered my system.
Nix and Megan both snorted.This is going to be fucking fun. Nix turned.We will be out of here in minutes.
Megan nodded.This won’t keep us here.
No, it won’t.I agreed. But I still hesitated.But I think I’m going to wait for a little while.
Both wolves turned on me.Why?
I looked at them.The guards here are loose lipped, remember. They knew way more than what they were letting on.
Megan stared at me for a minute.You are going to pump them for information.
Yeah, and I’m going to do it so they don’t remember. There aren’t any cameras in here. Foolish really. I think I’m going to make Vince regret that particular choice.
I waited until Vince pulled out the needle and I jumped up, growling. I let my hackles rise and I lunged for Vince, but he danced back and slammed the door shut. His chuckle was infuriating, and I lunged, hitting the bars on purpose. I yelped and jumped back from the searing pain of silver.
“I wouldn’t do that if I were you. Everything in here is silver.” Vince wagged the key in front of me. “You will just have to be a good girl to get let out.” I nearly gagged, but I lunged again, testing how hard the bars were. They bent a little, making every man jump back. I yelped again and slid against the ground, showing the burns to Vince. “Stop!”
I pulled away, slowly, weakly, growling softly to show I hadn’t given up yet. Nix rolled on the ground.You are really selling this, Amy.
Vince is eating this up for sure.Megan shook her head.But don’t push it too far. A wolf cornered would fight, but a weaker wolf would stay away from the silver after this.
I nodded.Oh, I know. That was the last charge. I just wanted to see how soft the bars actually were. And if we could force them if I had to.
The silver…Megan turned to me.
Will hurt, but I built up my resilience. I’ll bounce back real quick. I’ve had to slow my healing on these burns with magic,so Vince wouldn’t see the healing.I shook my head.But I need to figure out more of his plan.
“Stupid girl.” Vince finally stood when he realized I wouldn’t charge again. He turned to the guard. “Feed her normally and be careful. She is stronger than she looks.”
“The shot?” The guard nodded to me.
