My head swivels from left to right, the iron clinking as the chains bite into my wrists. I always knew Jack is a fucking traitor, but I didn’t think he’d sink this low.

“Jack,” I hiss into the dark, voice raw and trembling with fury. “When I get out of here, I’ll carve your name into the dirt myself.”

A low chuckle answers me.

My eyes strain against the dark until I catch the outline of broad shoulders slumped across from me. His arms are yanked high, the same iron biting into him that cuts into me.

“Jessica,” Jack rasps, voice hoarse, threaded with pain. “If I were the traitor, do you think I’d be locked in here

too?”

My pulse stutters. For a second, the fury falters but only for a second. The coup is still howling outside, claws against steel, wolves tearing at wolves. And here we are, both chained, both useless.

“Then who, Jack? Who had the strength to drag both of us down here while the pack rips itself apart?”

His head lifts, slow, the chains grinding with the motion. “That’s the question, isn’t it?”

My stomach knots, but I don’t let the fear show. “Don’t you dare play cryptic with me.”

The last thing I remember is trying to get out of Jack’s hold as I try to rescue Grayson.

“Is this your plan? Hand me over and play martyr beside me?”

“Damn it, Jessica,” Jack growls, jerking at his restraints. His voice isn’t sly now–it’s desperate. “Shut up.” His head snaps toward the door, eyes wide, feral. “They’re coming.”

Coming who?

Panic rises, slowly morphing into terror. Who is coming? I’ll have to get out of this place before whoever they are reach that door. Grayson, please.
