I turned towards my mate’s presence. I felt his presence before I saw him.
Yes. Convince the females to drink the wine. It will make this all that much easier.
He handed me a cup that sloshed over as I shook.
Not you. You don’t need it. Just get them to drink.
I turned to the female in front of me.
“Here, take a sip.”
She shook as she reached for the cup.
“I don’t think—
I cut her off. “Look. If it will make this less of shit show I’d do it. So just take the edge off.”
And she did. She chugged it.
“Pass it on,” I said. She did. Another cup was thrust at me, and I passed it behind me.
No one argued. They all drank. Maybe we didn’t care if we lived or died. Maybe they were desperate to feel any type of numb.
Minutes passed. My mate disappeared, but I could feel the pack connection. It was strong, but I still couldn’t identify much else yet. Still, this was amazing. New. My wolf was happy, and that made it hard for me to fall back into my spiral of depression. This was what it meant to be pack. Never alone.
The chain burned as it tugged against my wrist. What the hell?
“What are you all …” my words died off as I realized they weren’t just sitting. They were hunched over. A few were mumbling as I looked down the line. I followed suit because if I didn’t, my wrist was going to pay the price.
What is happening?
A moment later, Devon’s hand was around my wrist, and the shackle released.
Drugged.
I gawked at the bodies around us and the silence.
Are they dead? You killed them? They were innocent.
He grabbed me and tossed me over his shoulder.
Not dead. Drugged. We have to go.
Several other shadows came alongside Devon and grabbed the now slowing females.
“Hey, what are you doing?” someone shouted, but before I heard anything else, Devon was sprinting into the night.
Hang on.
CHAPTER6
Devon
There wasno shifting into wolf form for most of us. Although my mate was alive and awake, I wouldn’t leave anyone behind.And that meant six other females all passed out.
What is happening?Kiara asked.
I held her so tightly I was worried she’d suffocate, but I couldn’t stop myself. If anyone tried to rip her away from me, they would not only fail, I would rip their fucking heart from their chest.
