Caged by the Wolf King
She stopped in front of a young wolf—a messenger, barely eighteen, with wide eyes and shaking hands.
She looked at him. He looked back.
"You," she whispered. Her voice was a croak, but it carried.
The young wolf's face went white.
"I don't know what you're talking about," he stammered. "I'm loyal. I've always been loyal."
She reached out. Her hand touched his chest.
And she absorbed.
His fear. His secrets. His guilt. It all flowed into her like water into a dry well. She saw everything—the meetings with the vampire agents, the messages he had sent, the information he had betrayed.
