Chapter 71
Within minutes, the heavy dree to the dungeon swing open, and Alpha Kane strode in with two men in white coats following clour behind. His previously smug expiration had been replaced by noe of barely contained fury.
“What happened her? he demanded, glaring at the guard who shrank hack under his Alpha’s gaze, Kane pointed an accusatory finger at Nadia’s limp form in my wins. Did you do this?”
“No. Alpha Kane, I swear! The goan’s voice trembled with fear. They were just eating breakfast, and she suddenly collapsed. I didn’t touch them, I swear!
Kane’s emerald eyes narrowed as he studied the scene before him. He motioned for the two men–doctors, I presumed–to approach nur rell
“What happened to het? one of the doctors asked me, his clinical gaze assessing Nadia’s condition.
“I don’t know,” I replied, genuine fear coloring my voice despite knowing exactly what had eased her condition. “We were just eating, and suddenly she started convulsing. Then she just collapsed”
1 looked up at Kane, allowing the panic and rage I felt to surface completely. It was the food, wasn’t it? You poisoned us!” I accused, my mice rising to a near hysterical pitch. “You put wolf poison in our breakfast!”
Kane’s eyes widened slightly at my accusation, a flicker of genuine concern crossing his features. “That’s absurd,” he countered, “Why would I poison you? | need you both alive.” He gestured toward me with an open palm. Besides, if the food was poisoned, why aren’t you affected?”
His logic was sound, which only made my performance more convincing. I looked down at my untouched breakfast, then back at him with wild eyes.

Kanes jaw tightened as he considered the implications. “Do whatever it takes,” he ordered, his voice hard. “But make sure she doesn’t die–especially not on Gravestone territory.”
The doctors nodded and quickly prepared to transport Nadia. They placed her on a stretcher, securing her limp form with straps.
As they lifted her and began to move toward the exit, scrambled to my feet and tried to follow. Kane’s arm shot out, blocking my path
“Where do you think you’re going?” he demanded. “Guard, keep her here.”
“I’m going with her, I insisted, desperation creeping into my voice. “I need to make sure she’s okay.”
Kane ignored me, turning to follow the stretcher. The panic I felt wasn’t entirely feigned–Nadia had sacrificed herself for our escape plan, and I couldn’t let

“If anything happens to her, I called after Kane’s retreating figure, Adrian and the entire Oasisbon Pack will stop at nothing for revenge. They ll fight to
