SHAWN
Uriel and I had surrounded the mansion the moment Ethan came face-to-face with the Alpha.
And with the guards closing in on him, we slipped in, immediately scouring the maze-like house. After years of running through the hallways and corridors and trying to hide from our father, we breezed in like ghosts.
However, Uriel was immensely worried while my face was a mask of coldness.
"What if Ethan isn't able to get out?"
"It's simple…" I shrugged. "We get Davina out and go to him."
We moved, finally seeing through a trail of blood that led up to a room at the end of the hallway. It could be a trap set by the Alpha or the guards.
But as we got closer, her scent was heavy in the air. My wolf stirred, as after being starved of his mate, he was on the brink of going feral.
We swung the door open, and were hit by the thick smell of blood, sweat, and grime, and at the end of the room, lay a frail body, with eyes staring soullessly.
