Chapter 118 EVANDER I left the pebble wedged in the door , then went and gulped down the food theyd brought .


    I was too weak not to .


    Then I went out and joined the wolf in the hall .


    You did it , I whispered .


    She blinked at me .


    Then she disappeared again .


    Part of me was relieved .


    A light in a ce this dark would only draw eyes .


    But Id spent too long in the dark not to beforted by her light .


    It only urred to me then that I might be dreaming , still .


    I pinched myself .


    pped myself .


    Not a dream .


    But if it wasnt a dream , that meant the ghost wolf was real , as well .


    Who was she ? Why had she helped me ? Id heard Auroras horror stories of this ce .


    Maybe she wasnt the only girl the Reeds had kidnapped over the years .


    Chapter 118 2/5 Maybe the others stories hadnt turned out as well as Auroras .


    Carefully , I made my way down the hall with one hand on the wall .


    When the hall turned , so did I.


    Tristan .


    Seraphina .


    Where are you ? No answer .


    They must be with the Reeds , or whoever took them out of their cells every once in a while .


    I prayed they did it so the twins could get exercise and fresh air .


    I wouldnt let myself think of the other reasons they might be taken to the Reeds .


    Not even a little bit .


    I just prayed to the goddess that whatever happened , they werent being hurt .


    But thinking of the Reeds only led me to questions .


    Like , why had they kept me alive ? Though maybe I knew the answer to that .


    I , personally , would not want to anger Augusta DeVere of the High Alpine Pack by killing her favorite grandson , either .


    I wonder what grandmother thought of my disappearance , or if Aurora had told her .


    I knew Aurora would be looking for me .


    Even if I couldnt find my way out of this hell hole , maybe I could find my way past these telepathic blocks , so I could tell Trajan I was alive and that the twins were here .


    Chapter 118 3/5 All Blue Ridge needed was proof .


    My words would justify a raid .


    The Council wouldnt be able to stop Dane from taking his vengeance then it would be entirely justified .


    I rounded a corner .


    At first , I thought my eyes were still ying tricks on me .


    Then I realized what I was seeing .


    Light .


    Flickering and dancing .


    I crouched and moved closer .


    I heard voices , then cheering .


    It was a TV .


    I approached the open doorway of a room , and there was a TV on inside .


    I nced in .


    A male wolf was kicked back in a recliner , and he was snoring .


    A football game was ying .


    On the opposite wall , several camera feeds showed empty cells .


    So.


    They had been watching me .


    And when I spoke to the ghost wolf ? Could they see her , too , or had they thought I was losing my mind ? I crept closer and looked , praying one of those cameras showed the twins , or at least a cell where Id be able to tell the twins were being held .


    None did .


    I cursed inwardly and backed out of the room .


    I nced at the mans shoes and thought of stealing them , but I couldnt risk waking him up .


    Whoever had thrown me in a cell had also dressed me in some 4/5 Chapter 118 Riad of simple coverall , since Id been naked from shifting into a wolf .


    But no shoes .


    No socks , The room wasnt a total waste , though .


    There was a sandwich sitting on the table next to him .


    It was close enough to the door the snatched it .


    To get out of here , I nooded my wolf .


    To get my wolf , I had to get my strength back .


    I ate it as I wandered the halls , calling out for the twins .


    I was torn because I knew they had to be guarded .


    There was almost no chance Id get them out of this ce by myself .


    The best thing to do was find a ce I couldmunicate with Trajan , tell him they were alive , then wait for backup .


    If Id done that in the first ce .


    I wouldnt be a captive here .


    I moved through the caves , always going up when I could .


    Eventually , I found myself out of the dungeon level and onto a storage level .


    I found coveralls that smelled like a Broken Forest wolf and pulled them on , hoping to hide my scent .


    Then I heard voices again .


    Two more wolves .


    From the direction of their footsteps , they were heading for the dungeon .


    these brats instead of just getting Montague , himself .


    I held my breath .


    They were talking about Dane and the twins .


    * Dont forget , we need him to do the ceremony .


    Once he has , hell be too strong to contain .


    The children are just hostages .


    Chapter 118 5/5 Once he and Ann have the relic , well threaten to kill the children unless they hand it over .


    I held my breath .


    So , thats why they wanted the twins .


    I took a step back , but I was still dizzy from silver poisoning and hunger .


    I knocked against a stack of boxes in the storage room and knocked them down .


    The voices stopped .


    I crouched in the corner , cursing myself .


    Someone rounded the corner .


    Not just any someone .


    Waylon Reed , himself .


    He saw me and grinned .


    Aha .


    I was justing to get you , pup .


    His ws grew and his smile got fangs .


    We have a message we want to send to Ann .
