*Kelly* I can’t really tell how much time I’ve been here in this mostly dark cave, but I can tell that it’s been quite a while now. That can only mean one of two things. Either Eli has been captured himself and can’t come to rescue us, or something terrible has happened to Rose or the babies that h
The first step is finding a better spot for my gold coins, because I don’t want them gone when I get back. I know I can get a lot for Astrid, but I don’t want to get it at the expense of losing all the rest of my money. Moving the carpet, I feel along the floorboards—which is a disgusting task in t

*Eli*I’m so relieved that they’ve found Trisha. Even though I’m not her father, she’s part of our family, and with her missing, we weren’t complete. I can’t imagine how happy Rose will be when she has all four babies there in her arms.Mark tells me that they haven’t quite gotten Trisha out of ther
I’ll take her back to my pack where she can be safe and can live a normal life. Eli will see to that.We inch up toward the door and I hold the girls behind me while Randolph stays up front. I’ll have to take him back to my pack, too, because these guys will kill him for helping us escape. He’s real
