CHAPTER SEVENTYRILEY'S POVEvery part of my body hurt before I could even open my eyes.My wrists first, it felt like it was burning where something had probably cut into them. My shoulders were wrenched back at an angle that made my whole upper body ache. My mouth was dry, and tasting faintly of a chemical like substance.I blinked against a single bare bulb swinging slightly overhead, the light felt harsh and bright on my eyes.Where am I?I tried to move my hands and couldn't, it was tied with a rope. My ankles were tied too, secured to something solid beneath me."Hello?" My voice came out cracked, barely a whisper. "Is anyone there?"I heard footsteps. A man stepped into view from a doorway across the room, he was broad-shouldered, and heavily built, the same one from the warehouse."You're awake," he said, unbothered, like I had woken up from a nap instead of a drugged blackout."Where am I?

CHAPTER TWENTY-FIVEEDEN'S POVThey moved me from the guest room before sunrise.Two guards walked me down a stairwell I had never used, through a steel door, and into a long hall with a rubber floor and mirrors on every wall. A heavy bag hung in one corner and a row of gloves sat on a bench. There wasn't a single window."The Hawke private gym," one guard said. "The Alphas want you here until the sweep is done.""Do the Alphas want me to eat?""They didn't say.""Then I'll assume no."He didn't smile. They left me alone with my own reflection, which looked terrible. My neck had darkened into a purple ring. The bandage on my palm had been changed by somebody

CHAPTER SEVENTY-ONEJAX'S POVI parked at the far end of Pier 9 with six minutes left on the clock.The lot was empty except for a black sedan with tinted windows. I knew that car. It was the same one that sat outside the hospital with its lights off the night Riley got hurt.I got out and left my keys in the ignition. If I walked out of here at all, I wouldn't be wasting time digging through my pockets.Two men were already coming toward me. Bishop was chewing gum and watching every corner of the lot. Cole was behind him, younger and quieter, and his face had no expression on it at all."Hands up, Harlan," Bishop said."Or should we say Eli?" Cole added.I raised my hands. "Where is she?""You'll see her after you talk to the boss." Bishop patted down my jacket, then my jeans, then my ankles. He found my phone and held it up.
