Renee's POVTo my surprise Joey pulled his own wrist to his mouth and bites it. Then offers it to me. I pull back from it, only for him to force it to my mouth. "You will pledge your life to me" he says through gritted teeth.No way in hell am I pledging my life to this jerk. I sling my body back; Joey doesn't break his hold as I cause us to fall over. My back is now pressed to the bottom of the seat and Joey is half laying on top of me with his wrist still pushed to my mouth. "If you wanted to get more comfortable, you just had to ask" he laughs as he rakes his eyes over my body. My face was wrinkled in anger, I tried to turn my head away from his wrist. But he was holding my head with his other hand. I could feel his nasty blood trickling past my lips no matter how much I tried to seal them closed. The blood started filling my mouth as I refused to swallow it. He finally pulled his wrist back away from my mouth and looked at me expectantly, I imagine he was waiting for me to say

Renee's POV I awoke on the floor of the cell. It was now dark outside as there was no light coming through the small, barred windows of the basement. "Ugh" I groaned my whole body hurt, and my face felt smushed from laying on it. My hand went to the back of my head I could feel the dried blood in my hair but at least it felt like my head wound had closed. I peeled my face of the floor where it had been stuck in congealed blood. Then I pushed my body off the floor until I was in a sitting position. The lights were still on in the basement, and I could see a total of five cells, but all the other ones were empty. The change of position caused my head to start spinning. I brought my hands to either side of my head holding it up hoping to stop the dizzy spell. On the plus side the silver handcuffs were no longer on my wrists, I guess they removed them while I was unconscious. "Yes, I have her here." I hear Joey's voice echo from the hall outside of the cell room. I crawl closer to try

Alpha Ethan (POV)Having Renee's shirt did help calm me down. I held it close to my face and eventually drifted off into a restless sleep. I didn't last long before I was awake tossing and turning again, but then I would eventually drift off again for a little bit. Finally, I woke up and saw the first few streams of daylight, I quickly got out of the car and surveyed the area around me. Amber was at the hood of the car with a map laid out examining it. I didn't see Jonathan anywhere. "Morning" Amber said without lifting her head. "Where is Jonathan?" I asked surprised he wasn’t here. "Scouting" Amber replied "I was planning to scout?" I growl"He thought it would be best if he went, leveler head and all." She stated still not bothering to raise her head. "You know, I know I am emotionally involved but that doesn't mean I don't still have sense, or I would have attacked the council when they came. Both you and Jonathan have seemed to forget who the Alpha is!" I growl Amber imme

Alpha Ethan (POV) Forgive her? Forgive her for what? I couldn't grasp what she possibly meant by that. Then there is the other thing she said that made both me and my wolf practically sing. Just so know you are the only one I want. My mind was playing it on repeat. Jonathan's voice cuts through my thoughts. "What's the plan?" I turn to face him and Amber. "She is going to try to escape, she asked me to wait as close to the barrier as possible for her. Then she had to cut the link, she said she would let us know if the plans change." "Alpha" it's Amber speaking now "You need to know that there is a possibility she will be very sick after crossing the barrier." "What? Why?" I question I didn't want Renee to harm herself"That is just how some barriers work" she replies hesitantly. I turn my eyes to the direction, I know Renee is in, I'm sure the pain is clear on my face. "She already knows" Amber states "Huh?""She already knows the barrier will probably make her sick, but it's

Alpha Ethan (POV) We had been hiding in the undergrowth for close to thirty minutes. All our senses where on edge searching for any perceivable change. But so far everything was quiet. Come on Renee, where are you? I was thinking to myself when I got a link. "My plan is working; I will hopefully see you soon." Renee's voice like music to my ears but before I could even respond she cut the link. "Be ready, her plan is working" I link to everyone else. I could barely see the pack house with various trees and small rises in the terrain blocking it. I kept looking for any possible signs of strange movements. We continued waiting, then about ten minutes later a bunch of wolves started rushing into the house. "This could be it, be at the ready" and before I could even finish the link something came out of a third story window of the pack house. Followed by another large thing they collided in midair. Before falling harshly to the ground below. Then I heard security howls coming from a
