MAXINEThe silence felt heavier after Ronan left. He didn't blindfold us and Zel didn't have her wrists tied. The black object around her wrist was enough. The only thing they did was chain her ankle to a spot on the ground.“Zel,” I said. “Are you okay?”We were separated, staring at each other from across the room. There was a long pause, and for a moment, I thought she wouldn’t answer. But then I heard her. "I'm okay."“I’m sorry,” I said, my voice cracking. “I’m so sorry, Zel. I never should have dragged you into this.”“Stop it,” she bit out."I'm sorry," I continued, apologizing."Don't do that," she snapped angrily, looking away."Don't do what?" I asked. She looked back at me."Apologize. Like it's your fault. Do you think I would have felt any better if you had been on your own when this happened? Do you think I would have been able to sleep, knowing that you were in danger?" She asked.I looked down at the cold hard floor. "You wouldn't have known. You would have been safe,

MAXINEThe silence after the door shut was suffocating. I realized with a sickening feeling where we were. We were locked in a metal cage. One so small that we couldn't even stand to our feet. We were like animals.If either of us tried to escape, we would end up hurting the other because of how close we were. My heart pounded in my chest. I was helpless.I sat on the ground, my back pressed against the metal. Zel was beside me, her body slumped in exhaustion. I couldn’t imagine what they had done to her before we were thrown into this hellhole. Whatever it was, it had drained her of any strength she had left.“Zel,” I said, reaching out to touch her arm. “Are you okay?”She blinked slowly. “I’ll... be fine,” she mumbled. “I'm just tired.”I bit my lip, fighting back the tears. "What did they do to you?" I asked."I think it's these," she replied showing me her wrists. "It's making me feel sick."Zel needed rest and this wasn’t the place for it. I needed to get those things off her wr

MAXINEI saw red. I slammed against the bars and bared my teeth at him. "I swear to the goddess, if you touch her, I will kill you. Even if I have to sacrifice my life." I was livid.Ronan took a step back, not out of fear, just amusement. "Ooh, I'm shaking in my boots." But then, his expression switched so quickly that the temperature in the room dropped even further. "I'd love to see you try."I felt fear. Deep-rooted fear. Ronan was a monster.When he saw the fear in my eyes, he straightened and smiled. "It's always a joy to talk to you. I'll see you ladies another time." He turned and left.Even as Zel gave my hand a reassuring squeeze, I realized that I'd never been scared into silence like that in my entire life.***I lost track of time in that cage.The days seemed to blend. They brought us food in what I assumed was once a day. The hours were far too long. I slept and stayed awake until I lost track of night or day. The fear ate up at me.Zel and I clung to each other, our bo

MAXINEIt took everything in me not to lash out at Ronan. From what happened the other time when I punched the guard, I could tell Ronan was strong.And his threat was clear. It hit me like a punch to the gut. I couldn’t possibly let him hurt Zel because of my stubbornness or pride. I didn't want to put her in any more danger than she was already in.So, I nodded slowly. Ronan smiled and nodded towards the tub. “Good. Now, clean up. I'll be waiting for you out front. Remember, don't try anything funny. I have guards waiting outside and if they hear even a peep from you…" he said.He gave me one last look before he turned and left, leaving me alone with the two women. They approached me and I took a step back."Stay away from me," I said, weakly. "Just…"They glanced at each other. "Your clothes…" one of them said quietly."I can do it myself," I said, reaching for the hem of my shirt. My hands shook as I slowly undressed.My clothes fell on the ground around my legs and even tho

LIAMThey came for me one day. I didn't know whether it was morning or night until I was dragged up the ladder and towards Ronan's mansion. My mind raced with thoughts of Maxine.Were they taking me to her? Would I finally be able to see her again? How much had she changed? Had they tortured her? Most importantly, was she okay?They led me into the back of the mansion. The metal chains rattled as I was yanked down the corridor. My wrists were bleeding from where the cuffs bit into my skin. The blood there was black, poisoned by wolfsbane.The hallway seemed to stretch on forever. Every step forward dragged me deeper and deeper into the pit of despair that Ronan had created in my mind. My mind was chaotic. I was thinking about Maxine and my pack.I was forced into a large room that smelled of sweat and blood. And something far worse. I stopped moving as I tried to understand what it was I was seeing. The room was filled with makeshift cages and restraints.The icing on the cake was th

MAXINEHe was going to kiss me.The moment Ronan’s hand touched my chin, lifting my face to meet his. I felt disgusted. His touch was firm but not harsh. It was like he was testing the waters. He was pushing boundaries he already knew I didn’t want to be crossed. His eyes were cold and calculating and they looked into mine. He was searching for resistance.I didn’t give him the satisfaction. I kept my expression as unreadable as I could manage. I wasn’t going to let him see how much he was affecting me. Not if I could help it.Ronan’s lips twisted into a smirk. He leaned in closer and for a terrifying moment, I thought he was going to kiss me. Instead, he stopped, his breath warm against my skin."You’re playing along well,” he murmured. “But don’t forget that this is only the beginning. You’re mine now, Maxine. Mine."I wanted to scream and push him away, but I knew better. There was so much at stake. So I clenched my fists at my side and kept my voice steady. “I understand.”His eye

LIAMI’d lost track of time, trapped in this hellhole. The days blurred together and I couldn't tell day from night. Each one was more torturous than the last.With every second passing, my worry only grew more and more. My mind replayed over and over the sight of my pack members being tortured. I hated myself for not being able to protect them. I could still even hear their screams.After a while, I heard the wooden door to what I now called my cell creak open. A few figures stepped inside. I couldn't see their faces until they moved closer. The bulb came on, the light revealing their faces.Varis and Kris. My Betas.Relief should’ve washed over me, but something was wrong. They didn’t meet my eyes. They barely looked at me at all. Instead, they stood there, like strangers.“Varis,” I called, my voice hoarse. “Kris, what’s going on? Why are you here? Did Ronan see you?”Varis finally looked at me. There was no warmth in his gaze. Nothing that reminded me of my friend. There was a col

LIAMRonan smiled. "I have one more gift for you, Liam. Bring him." He instructed.I didn't struggle as Varis and Kris went to uncuff me from the wall. Even when they wrapped their hands around my arm and pulled me towards the exit.I followed them silently out of my cell and towards the mansion again. This was a welcome relief. If Ronan had left me down there after all I had heard, I would have run mad.I breathed a lungful of fresh air as we walked back to the mansion. Kris and Varis mostly carried me and said nothing. We entered through the back, down a passageway to another room.They put me down on a chair there and cuffed me up. I didn't struggle. I accepted my fate. Ronan left me alone with them.They avoided looking at me and honestly, I didn't have anything to say to them. I just didn't want to see them again. The door opened again.I looked up in my seat and my heart leaped into my throat as I saw who stepped inside.Maxine.For a split second, hope flared in my chest. She w
