I spun around so fast my shoulder hit the doorframe. “Sorry,” I muttered under my breath, pressing my palms to my cheeks. The image refused to leave my head. Broad shoulders, the hard lines of his back and hips, the way the light caught every ridge of muscle. For one long second my thoughts emptied out. Nothing but heat and the sudden loud beat of my own heart.My wolf stirred inside me, bright and eager, pushing forward like she wanted to get closer. I slapped my cheeks lightly, once, twice, trying to shake sense back into myself. “He’s not my husband,” I whispered fiercely. “My husband is dead. This Hunt is a different man. Different. Don’t you dare get any ideas.”My wolf only whined, still excited. I slapped my face again, smaller this time, and forced my breathing to slow. I couldn’t afford this. Not with him. Not when getti
Amber's POV"Hey." I felt someone kick my feet. "I know the stone is comfortable and all, but it's time to get up."A low thudding ache started behind my head as I winced and slowly fluttered my lids."Come on." The person kicked my feet again. "Get up, princess.""Wha-- " I opened my eyes fully. wincing and frowning as I lifted my head from the dungeon stone wall."Ally?""At your service," She bowed cockily. Her lips twitching as she straightened and stretched out her hand. "No, seriously. You need to get up."My brain was still muddled. Fuzzy from sleep as I took the grip and allowed her pull me to my feet."Why are you always everywhere?" I muttered, yawning.To my side, I noticed with a start that the cell gates were open.My eyes moved down to my waist suddenly. "Lucinda—""She's gone," Ally replied. "She technically only had to spend the day and jolted the second dawn broke."It made sense for her to leave, but the keys— "I had the keys on me. How did she- "Ally's spine stiff
Chapter 32Ashlyn's POVI knew without a doubt the person holding me was a man. And knowing which man was never far from the Lycan King, I knew the man that grabbed me in particular was the Beta."Let go!" I grunted, my voice muffled against his palm as I drove my elbow into his side.He let out a low string of curses but promptly let go. Still huffing angrily, I spun around to face him, my eyes spitting anger."What was that?!""Shhhh!" Alex shushed me. Looking over my shoulder, back at the chamber worriedly. Like he feared the noise might have disturbed Hunt or whatever version of Hunter stood in that hall.Then without a response to me, He grabbed my hand again.My wrist this time as he pulled me harshly out of the catacombs and back to the main dungeon passage."Aren't you supposed to be guarding Veronica? Don't tell me you left her all alone.""I ask the questions!" I hissed spitefully, pulling my wrist back in annoyance. "What's it to you anyway?"Alex stuttered. His mouth openi
Chapter 31Ashlyn's POV"You can't leave." Lucinda's voice followed me down the corridor. "You're my jailer. You have to,""Stay in the cell," I said without turning."That's not, there are rules,""Lucinda." I stopped walking. Didn't look back. "Stay in the cell."The groaning came again from below. Lower than the first scream. More sustained. The sound of something ongoing rather than something sudden.I followed it.The dungeon had levels I hadn't known about.The passage revealed itself at the far end of the corridor, a staircase descending behind an unmarked door that sat slightly ajar, as though someone had come through it recently and hadn't bothered to pull it fully shut behind them.I pushed it open.The smell hit me first. Iron and sweat and something charred underneath both. The staircase was narrow, the walls close, the torchlight from below casting everything in uneven amber.I went down.The sounds grew with each step. Not screaming anymore. Something worse, the low, rhy
