Chapter 217 We Won’t Be Long

Ann peered into the darkness that seemed to engulf the inside of the cell that Linus was holding in but couldn’t see any movement from within.

The cells were tiny, designed for security and not comfort. The cells that were allocated to hold wolf shifters were constructed of walls of reinforced concrete which had been infused with wolfsbane and nightshade before being coated with silver.

There was no chance of escape for the shifters held here, even if they did manage to get out of the chains that held them.

“You’ll still get to ask them, Lexi.” Ann said with a serious face, “He’s in there, we just can’t see him. I do wonder if he’s still restrained though considering Cornelius was just down here “

“Do you want us to check?” Adam asked with a frown
