I don’t get it. What’s going on?
I try to focus on my surroundings, but I feel so tired.
Let’s save our strength, Annie. Need to heal you. The drugs… are wearing me down too.She says, her voice barely audible, but she's here. She's here, and that's good enough.
I take a shaky breath. The wound on my leg hurts. It seems my healing abilities are slowed down, and I’m tasting iron on my lips. Blood. They must have hit me during the fight. Oh goddess, the fight! Hopefully, Aryanna is all right. And the kids!
Okay, Annie, focus. Don’t freak out now. I’m sure Liam and Fenris are already looking for us. I’m sure they have already found the others and are doing their best to help them. Meanwhile, I need to try to help too… at least help myself.
If Liam comes here and finds me dead, I don’t know what he will do. I can’t do that to him.Not without a fight.
My trail of thoughts doesn’t help me calm down, but at least they help me focus a bit. I shift slightly, trying to take in my surroundings. It’s dark around me. There is no natural light coming through a window or door, just a little lamp at the end of the room. Seems like I’m in a basement, on a chair, hands tied. Silver.
I wince, my body curling in expectation for pain before I notice… there isn’t any. It doesn’t hurt. I don’t feel any pain from the silver ties, but why? My skin should be burning in pain. What’s wrong with me?
“Pity we lost the humans,"I hear a voice from outside the room. "They were so useful."
Wolves?
"Humans are disposable trash, but these guys were good. Can't believe they stuck to the plan," another guy agrees. "They served their purpose. The boss will be happy."
These wolves are not from my pack. I don’t recognize their voices. They are also not from the Silverlake pack. Their scent is different. But it’s also familiar too.
"Kinda cute, that little Omega bitch." The first guy states again.
“Can’t wait for us to have our way with her.”
“Keep it in your pants for a bit longer,” a female voice hisses. “We are still waiting for his orders. Afterwards, you can have your way with her. Let’s see if Prince Liam still wants her ugly ass once we have soiled and used her.”
Wait… what!?
I try to focus even further, sharpening my senses without relying on Leah’s strength too much. I know that scent, that voice! I can’t believe it!
Aside from fear, I feel something else fill me. Anger.
Pathetic, she is pathetic!
I’m not going to let her win. I will get out of this, and then she can rot in a cell if Liam even lets her live. I don’t know what kind of drugs they filled me with. If it affects Leah this much, then it must be something quite potent. It’s still worth a try, I think. Maybe I can reach Liam.
I open the mind link, or at least I hope I do.Liam?There is nothing. The connection is still here, though. It’s not completely suppressed by any drugs. I gather all my thoughts at once to reach him.Liam!

*LIAM*
I’mpacingaroundmadly.The human trash we found doesn’t know anything. I’m sure he doesn’t. I've used my gift on him to see if he's telling the truth, and he truly has no clue. He is or ratherwaspart of a mercenary group, and someone hired them. He claimed it was a man they talked to, but they never saw him. The job meant incredibly good money. No questions asked. Just deliver. They received very detailed instructions on what to do and how to do it, nothing else… except a photo of Annalise.
I assume the person who hired them provided them with wolfsbane and herbs to cover their tracks. Humans can cross our borders easily. We normally do not stop hikers passing through the forest. Only hunters are strictly forbidden. It is the same for most packs. Whoever hired these mercenaries knew about our laws.
Some of our warriors went through the mercenaries’ stuff, finding night-vision devices and infrared cameras, probably checking if there were guards around, and plenty of weapons.
The human man we captured claimed he was horrified to realize we were not humans. Now the guy is whimpering and begging like a baby. He wasn’t that weak and helpless when he almost killed my sister and Beta and abducted my mate. And Nox is still fighting for his life too.
I will erase his memories and have one of my father’s Betas drop him in front of a police station and fabricate a story around him. Beta Calvin, in particular, is brilliant in erasing any traces. He can even cover scents and spin perfect lies. If we can’t keep a human in our prisons, we can at least have him be thrown into a human one.
Dante found out that there was wolfsbane in the injection and a heavy mix of different drugs such as Rohypnol, GHB, Ketamine, and alcohol. I have no idea what all that stuff even means. As far as Dante could tell, those are typical drugs used to incapacitate and date rape someone. The dose was higher than usual too. Whoever hired them knew they had to knock out a werewolf.
