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.

Lexi leaned up against the shatterproof pane, protected on the prisoner’s side by thick bars of steel coated with silver that ran the full length and width of each wall.

“So where’s old rapey?” She sniffed, sounding a little disappointed as she turned to Ann with a pout, “I was looking forward to asking him a few uncomfortable questions.”

“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

He didn’t like this. He didn’t see why they needed to be taking unnecessary risks when she could be carrying his pups by now. There was no way that he wanted to see Ann or his pups in danger and he would do whatever it took to keep them safe, even if it meant putting his own life on the line
