I couldn’t help but look at the state of the poor woman that was leadingto Cassie. The rags she was wearing were literally only covering the important parts. Scars and bruises covered her exposed skinl. What should have been lushish brown hair was dull and
breaking. Dark circles lined her eyes and a freshly split l*ps finished off her look.
The cells were only a couple hundred yards away. I could see still Alec and Colt as she raised a door from the earth. The stairs were steep but manageable. I knew we were in the right place as the smell of sweat and blood filled my nose. It was so thick that my eyes started to water. We continued down a narrow tunnel until she finally stopped. Unlocking the door, she stepped back and bowed her head.
It was my turn to look. Sitting on the floor, with a metal dog collar around her neck, it was chained to the wall. Her hair was covered in dried blood and dirt, no a single article of clothings on was but a smile was across her face.
“Cassie?” I asked, softly.
“He’s dead.” She whispered quietly. Her voice was strained but there was a happiness to it.
“He is.” Taking the keys, I walked up to Cassie. “I am going to unlock you.”

me.
“You realize what this means?” Her skin had started to grown around the collar, makinghave to pull it from her literal flesh.,

“Zac is outside.” I said as I helped her stand. He must have been
keeping her wolf from her all these years. None of her injuries were healing good. One even looked infected.
“Zac?” Her eyes widened as she glanced at me.
“Yes. He has been trying to protect Penny all these years.” We walked slowly down the hall and up the stairs.
“Zac…” Cassie whispered as she was finally able to breath sfresh air after 19 years.
Alec held Zac back as we slowly made our way up to them. It took us awhile to get there since she was inching it. I suspected she hasn’t walked around the entire tshe was in there. Maybe from one side to the other but nothing that would cclose to this.
However, she collapsed just fifty yards from Zac. Colt managed to get the cuffs off Zac before he ran forward and pulled Cassie into his lap. “CAS SIE!”
“Zac! I can’t believe it’s you.”
“Letmark you. Letsave you. If not forbut for Penny.” Zac had tears in his eyes as he carefully caressed her face.
Cassie closed her eyes but nodded. Her twas out and if Zac didn’t do it now, she would die. “Hurry up.”I said to Zac.
He didn’t need being told twice, pulling her tiny frup, he bit down. into her collar bone. Cassie didn’t cry out or even move. Just a single tear ran down her face until he pulled out and licked it clean. Cassie’s head rolled to the side.
“What happened?” Zac asked.
“Hold on to that bond as we get her to a doctor.” Alec said. Zac

“Follow me!” The swoman said as she ran off. Colt followed Zac and Cassie.
“Get everyone in this pack to gather in front of the packhouse.” Alec told the warrior. He didn’t want to listen but did it regardless. “Woman and children.” Alec clarified since we both could see if only
requesting the men.
“Lead us there.” I demanded. He didn’t even acknowledge my statement but turned around and started walking. Alec held my hand as we walked. Thankfully, it wasn’t far and people were already gathering around. There was far more woman and children than I expected but I wasn’t surprised about the number of men. Most of them were taken down already.
