The Alpha King’s Human Mate

Chapter 87 Chapter 87 “Don’t underestimate the power of being underestimated.” )

I’d begun to notice a pattern when Aria visited my cell. She came three times a day, always with food and a bottle of water. Most of the time, it was just sandwiches or leftovers – probably scraps from wherever their kitchen was.

It was three meals per day, and after six visits, I was able to piece together a time frame: it had been two days since I’d

been kidnapped. Her visits barely lasted a minute, and while I would try and make conversation with her, she was too

flighty. She looked like a deer in headlights whenever I asked a question, and she’d usually just ignore me.

But I wasn’t done trying.

The initial panic and terror I’d felt upon realizing I’d been kidnapped

had dulled, especially since Aria was the only person I’d seen for the

past few days. Alpha Liam never returned after that first conversation,

so I could only assume he was giving me more time to “think it over.” } Chapter 87

Spending all my time in a dingy prison cell wasn’t pleasant, but it at least gave me time to think. Time to think about how

I was going to get out of this situation. Time to think about how stupid I was to accept a drink from a stranger. (*)

Come on, Clark. You’re a teenage girl. What’s the number one rule at parties? Don’t accept drinks from strange men.

That doesn’t change just because you’re around werewolves or a Queen.

I replayed that moment over and over again in my brain. Each time, I did something different. Sometimes, I would take

the drink Ezra offered, throw it in his face, and scream for the guards.

Other times, I never even left to get fresh air at all.)

But hindsight could do nothing to change my current predicament, and Thad to force myself to stop thinking about it. I’d

have plenty of time to ruminate on my stupid decisions when I was out of here, but first, I needed to figure out my

escape plan.
