Sarah however kept on being stubborn and uncooperative. Her arms were crossed, and she wore a scowl that made it clear she had no interest in helping us."I've already told you, I'm not going to help," Sarah insisted, her tone cold and unyielding. "Whatever happens to Lora is not my problem, and I don't see why we should risk our lives for her."My anger flared at her words, and I slammed my fist onto the table, causing everyone in the room to jump. "Enough, Sarah!" I barked, glaring at her. "Lora is my mate, and that makes her your Luna, whether you like it or not. Your lack of loyalty and support is unacceptable."Sarah's eyes widened at the intensity of my anger, but she still refused to back down. "I don't care if she's your mate, Blake. I won't help you save her. After everything they did to us, I'm supposed to wave it all away because what? She came in here unannounced and set her stupid claws on you? Not going to happen blud."I stood up, my frustration boiling over. "Then you

I heard the sound of footsteps approaching, echoing through the dark dungeon. My heart raced as I saw the metal door creak open, and my father stepped in, a tray of food in his hands. I glared at him, my anger boiling over, but he showed no emotion, as if nothing had happened."Here's your breakfast," he said coldly, setting the tray down on a small table near the door. Here's your breakfast??That's what he's gonna tell me, like everything is all normal??The food looked unappetizing, and the thought of eating anything in this miserable place made my stomach churn. I clenched my fists, trying to control the fury building inside me."Why are you doing this to me?" I demanded, my voice shaking. "What have I done to deserve this? How could you lock me up?"My father's expression remained unchanging as he stared at me, his eyes cold and unfeeling. "You know why you're here," he replied, his voice firm and unwavering. "Your actions have brought dishonor to our pack."The tension in the

Blake released me, withdrawing from the kiss, and I sighed in disappointment.But I knew we had to leave this very instant.And David …I need to help him.But As I opened my mouth to tell Blake about the other prisoner, a sudden noise echoed through the dungeon, causing us both to tense up. Fear and urgency danced across Blake's face as he scanned our surroundings, his eyes darting from side to side."Blake, I need to tell you something," I whispered, my heart pounding in my chest. "There's another prisoner down here, a ly….."Blake held up a hand to silence me, his gaze fixed on the distant sound. "We don't have time for this, Lora. We need to get out of here, now," he interrupted urgently, his voice low and strained."But Blake, there's someone…." I protested, desperation creeping into my voice.Blake's eyes softened for a moment as he looked at me, his hand reaching out to touch my arm. "I promise, we'll come back for him. But right now, we need to focus on getting out of here alive

The next day, Blake had called everyone in for a meeting. He was pretty impatient about rescuing his father and I could not blame him one bit. Everything was still surreal even to us.Even Sarah had been happy, and excited the previous night.After a shower, I walked into the meeting room and sat down next to Blake. Everyone started to filter in, filling up the seats around usBlake stood up to address the pack. "As you all know, we're here to discuss the plan for rescuing my father from Marcus's mansion. We need to be prepared for anything, so let's go over the details."I watched as Blake pulled out a map of the mansion and started going over the layout. He pointed out where the guards were stationed and where we might run into trouble. Everyone was paying close attention, asking questions and suggesting ideas.But the one question on my mind was How on earth did he get a map of our mansion?One of the pack members, Sam, spoke up. "We could use the old tunnel that runs underneath th

Inside the cell, the whole place was humming with noise, murmurs and groans from everyone.I stood there, my heart pounding as I stared at everyone's dissappointed look. They all looked exhausted."Lora, you need to sit down and relax," Lock called coming up beside me and I shook my head."I'm fine...it's just, I feel bad. I really do. I feel like I brought you all into this situation by coming into your life, and....""Hey," He interrupted with a grimace, "You are a blessing. You don't realize it now but you will. It will soon become obvious to everyone. Trust me,"I gave lock a smile grateful that he was one of the people who stood by me and believed in me from Day one."I don't know Lock. Just look at everyone. And trust me, I know my dad. He won't let us all go that easily. I'm scared of what he will do. And this is all my fault.""How exactly is it your fault?"I gasped at the voice behind me and turned, shocked to see Sarah staring at me."You are not at fault. We have our Alpha
