Chapter Fifty-one

Avery’s POV I tried to stand, but he lunged again, his fingers locking into my shirt and dragging me back down. I rolled onto my back and wrapped my legs around his waist, yanking him down with me. My arm hooked around his neck in a desperate chokehold from the bottom.I squeezed with everything I had left, burying my elbow under his chin, trying to crush his trachea. He thrashed like a wild animal, his fist slamming blindly into my ribs, cracking the bone. I gasped, but I didn’t let go. I held on, staring into his maddened, bloodshot eyes as his breathing turned into a desperate wheeze.Suddenly, a heavy, metallic thud cut through the sound of our grunting, and something flooded over my face, pouring into my eyes.Then he went completely rigid. His eyes rolled back, the life draining out of them in an instant as his jaw slumped open. He toppled sideways off me, slumping onto the concrete floor like a sack of wet flour. I scrambled backward against the cold wall, chest heaving as I

Chapter Fifty-two

Avery’s POV. How am I going to die? The thought looped in my head like a sick chant as the rogues dragged me down the narrow corridor. Would it be quick? A knife to the throat or slowly. Would the suffering Raith or the wife’s family melt out on me to watch Lucian’s second-fated mate break in front of them be worse than what I have had to endure? I had seen death in Lucian’s manor. I had felt its breath on my neck more times than I could count. But this felt different. This was greed—men who saw me as nothing but a tool to hurt the monster who owned me. My bare feet scraped against the rough stone, the thin gown clinging to my still-damp skin. The stocky rogue’s grip on my arm was bruising, his fingers digging into the fresh marks he’d left earlier. They shoved me through a heavy wooden door into a dimly lit holding room. I stumbled forward, chains rattling, my knees giving out entirely as I hit the ground. I expected the cold embrace of concrete, but instead, my hands sank int

Chapter Fifty-three

Lucian’s POV.I stood in the center of my chambers, gripping my cane very tightly. The fire crackled in the hearth, but its warmth did nothing to chase away the cold void where Avery should have been. Her scent of vanilla still lingered faintly in the air, a cruel, mocking reminder of what had been ripped away from me.I had let her go.I had permitted her to walk into the lower sectors, knowing full well the dangers that lurked beyond my walls. Fool.My fist flew into the mirror, nearly shattering it with one hit. Tiny shards rained down, slicing into my knuckles as they hit the floor. It imitated exactly what my soul felt like. Completely shattered.Snarling, I pulled back and drove my fist into the remaining pieces again. Over and over. The mirror cracked and splintered under my blind fury until only jagged edges remained, the sound of breaking glass feeding the storm inside me.I dropped to my knees, fingers sweeping across the floor, cutting deeper into my palms as I searched f

Chapter Fifty-four

Avery’s POV. The stocky rogue grabbed the chains connecting my wrists, pulling me upward. My legs were stiff, and my steps were heavy as he led me toward the main hall. The sound of a large, restless crowd grew louder with every step, a low rumble of voices, and the clinking of glasses. We passed through a heavy curtain, and the sudden light from dozens of torches made my eyes sting. The grand chamber was filled with hooded figures and travelers from the outlands, all gathered around a central platform. The rogue shoved me onto the wooden stage. I caught my balance, scanning the sea of greedy eyes. I expected to see Raith’s hungry smirk in the front row, the murdered wife’s family waiting, ready to tear me apart for what Lucian had done. That was what I had overheard in the wagon. Raith wants her warm and obedient in his bed. The family wants her broken on the stones as revenge. They were supposed to be here. But as my gaze swept across the front rows of the bidding pit, I rea

Chapter Fifty-five

Avery’s POV.The wagon jolted and rattled over every uneven patch of ground. I stayed silent, at least verbally. My teeth chattered the entire way as the freezing night air leaked through the wooden slats. The thin gown the rogues had forced on me after the inspection did nothing to keep out the cold, leaving me shivering uncontrollably.One of the guards riding in the back finally grunted in irritation. "Shut that noise up. You're driving me mad.” He tossed a coarse, filthy blanket over me. It smelled of sweat and mold, but I pulled it tighter anyway, trying to trap what little warmth I could.I shot him a cold glare instead of thanking him. Then, I pulled the blanket tighter around my shoulders and focused on breathing through the pain. Every second that passed took me farther from Lucian and closer to whatever fresh hell Raith had prepared.The wagon finally slowed. Dread settled deep in my gut. I steeled my spine and waited as both men climbed out of the wagon, the doors slamming

Chapter Fifty-six

Avery’s POV By the time we reached the end of the stairs, I was breathing harder than I should have been. Seth unlocked a door and shoved it open.The room was small with a narrow bed against one wall and a basin of water on a rickety table. It felt like a cell disguised as a shelter.But after spending hours chained inside a wagon and being displayed like livestock at an auction, it almost looked merciful.Seth didn’t waste words. He pointed at the bed, signaling for me to sit. Apprehensively, I walked to the bed and sat, my weight compressing the edge of the lumpy mattress. He moved to the basin, dipped a clean rag into the water, and then approached without asking.I tensed as he lifted the hem of my gown just enough to expose the worst of the wounds on my side and back. The rag was cold against my skin as he started wiping away dried blood and dirt.I faced him, shooting him a nasty look. “What are you doing?” I asked.“Cleaning your wounds,” he answered, giving me a glance fill

Chapter Fifty-seven

Lucian’s POV The door to my chambers slammed open with enough force for the doorknob to create a hole in the wall. "Alpha," Vance said, stepping in, having just gotten back from the continued search. I put him in charge of the hunt since I had been losing control. Four days since I let Avery walk into the lower sector and the mate bond thrashing against my ribcage. "We have the location of the rogues who took her." "How did you find them?" "One of the trackers caught Avery’s scent on them, and their cargo matched the one that was previously abandoned." “Walk and talk,” I ordered, already on my heel and heading out. “What’s the address?” He quickly gave me the address of a tavern. The Black Boar tavern as he hurried to keep up behind me. Servants scattered as we descended into the courtyard, their heartbeats spiking. I climbed into an open carriage, my injured palm gripping the wooden sides. Vance jumped onto the driver's seat, snapped the reins, and the horses surged forwar

Chapter Fifty-eight

Lucian’s POV Little wolf... what have they done to you? My mother’s voice slithered through the back of my mind again. Control is the only thing that separates us from the beasts, Lucian. I snarled low in my throat, shoving it down. Control? I had let her walk out of the manor. I had permitted this. The stench of old blood clung to the air like a second skin, thick enough to choke on. I stood in the center of the room, the tip of my cane pressed into the congealed pool beneath the dead rogue’s ruined skull. Destruction hovered right at my fingertips. One command, and I'd watch this entire forsaken rat’s nest burn until nothing but ash remained to mock me. “Alpha,” Vance called out carefully from the doorway. “You need to see this. There's another room. A holding cell.” I turned toward his voice and followed him down the narrow corridor. Four girls huddled against the far wall in filthy, transparent rags. Bruises covered their bodies. Their eyes were hollow. Avery had been here

Chapter Fifty-nine

Avery’s POV “Come to me, Avery.” Raith’s mangled voice hit me as Seth dragged me out of the wagon, my bare feet sinking into the freezing mud. I lifted my head, pain shooting through my body, and froze. Raith stood at the top of the stairs. But it wasn’t just him. The woman beside him… her face. I knew that face. Where had I seen her before? The soft features, the gentle curve of her lips, those wide eyes that once looked at me with fake pity in the garden. My mind scrambled, heart pounding harder as the memory slammed into me. Lilith. “You…” The word came out broken. Lilith descended the steps gracefully, that same soft smile now twisted with cruel satisfaction. She stopped right in front of me, tilting her head as if we were old friends. “Hello again, Avery,” she said sweetly. “Took you long enough to recognize me.” Raith let out a gurgling laugh beside her. “My little hired whore has always been talented at playing the innocent girl.” Everything clicked into place at o

Chapter Sixty

Avery’s POV “Get in and wash yourself. I’ll be back in twenty minutes.” Lilith paused at the doorway and pointed at me. “Don’t do anything stupid, or you’ll regret it.” She left, locking the door behind her. For a moment, I just stood there, stunned she was actually giving me privacy. I stripped off the filthy gown with trembling fingers and lowered myself into the hot water. I scrubbed as quickly as I could, hissing when the soap hit the wounds on my back. Tears mixed with the bathwater, but I wiped them away angrily. I had just finished drying myself with the towel when the door unlocked. Lilith returned with an armful of dresses, laying them across the bed one by one like she had all the time in the world. “Stand up,” she said, crossing her arms. I didn't move. Her smile thinned. “I said stand.” Something in her tone made it clear she wasn’t asking anymore. Slowly, I rose. Lilith lifted a red dress and held it against me, tilting her head as she assessed me like an o
