"He is known for his ruthlessness and cruelty. He has taken many people against their will, and few have ever returned. Those who have returned spoke of torture and suffering, and they were never the same again."

I felt my heart sink as I listened to the old woman's words. The thought of Lia suffering at the hands of this cruel alpha was unbearable.
