    I only stared at him because I didn't know the right words to use on him. Shaking my head, I met the pregnant woman outside of my chamber with her protruded belly. She knelt before me, crying." Alpha, I can't find my mate for the past days, I am afraid that something bad has happened to him" she said, her body trembling. As she was talking, I looked directly at the mark on her neck and the mark was no longer as visible as it would be when one's mate was still alive.

In return I will help you with the escape."I was unable to recognize her face due to the darkness of the prison room,
