Chapter Two Hundred and Forty Three

THANE

I couldn’t move. It must be these damned fluids being passed into my veins. I was forced to the only comfort I got during that time was the minutes I endure hours of pain and agony

spent thinking about Riley.

My fear was that they got her too; I didn’t mind them taking me; I was ready to bargain my life to save hers if it came down to that, she could go back to Axel, I was confident that he would take good care of her and she could live the rest of her life happy. The only problem was that in this position, my life wasn’t really good enough to make the bargain. I hated to say this, but I was completely at their mercy, and that could only change if I managed to take these damned pipes out.

The pain only worsened with time; maybe this would be my end.

I know the elders brought you here, I will find a way to get you out of this place.” I promised. “Once your are safe, you will go to Axel, he will need your support to lead the pack.” I paused, finally noticing how calm she was. It was almost like she wasn’t in any form of danger.
