My heart sank. “But Rowan, I’m not…”
The connection ended abruptly. Tears streamed down my face as the reality of what I was truly in dawned on me. How could he believe I was just being dramatic? How could he abandon me – abandon our pups? I’ve been gone for days now, how can he not know that I was missing?
He had become distant a year ago for sure. At first, I thought it was because of the stress that came from running the pack but thinking about it now, everything had changed when he brought Amara home. A witch with a mysterious background whom he claimed to have rescued from war.
The cell door creaked open and two burly rogues entered.
“Time’s up, Luna,” one of them growled and roughly hauled me to my feet. “Boss wants to see you.”
I stumbled, my legs weak from days of confinement and malnutrition. As they dragged me through the dark passage, my mind raced. Who was their boss? Was it their boss that had ordered my kidnap?
Finally, we arrived at a well-lit chamber. I blinked, my eyes struggling to adjust to the sudden brightness. As my vision cleared, I froze… standing before me with a cold triumph on her face, was Amara.
