Chapter 0097 Judys POV I woke up to the sounds of murmurs nearby ; my memory of what had happened was a bit foggy and my head ached like I was hungover , but I dont remember drinking that much .


    I had mainly water with a few sips of white wine at dinner , but it wasnt enough to make me hungover .


    I dont even remember falling asleep .


    My fingers twitched as I came to , and I could feel the cold concrete ground beneath me .


    That was part of the reason why my body was aching .


    Then I felt the cold metal chains around my wrists and the burning that the silver invoked .


    Silver was a werewolfs weakness , and I knew before I even opened my eyes that I wouldnt be able to channel my wolf or send out a mindlink to anyone in my pack .


    I also knew that I was in danger .


    A slight memory came back to me , and I remember running andughing with Irene by my side .


    Was Irene here with me ? Did she somehow set me up ? Maybe she didnt believe me when I told her that nothing was going on between Ethan and me .


    Maybe this was part of her n ; to make sure the guards didnt follow us so she could kidnap me and possibly kill me .


    Another memory resurfaced and I remembered watching Irene fall to the ground after a man attacked her .


    He stabbed her in the neck with a syringe and she passed out immediately .


    My heart hammered in my chest , and I knew my breathing was unsteady .


    I tried to keep it steady just in case I wasnt alone wherever I was .


    I could hear the light whispers from some men nearby and I tried to channel my wolf so I could hear better , but to no prevail .


    However , their voices grew louder as their footsteps neared .


    I might not have my wolf senses , but the moment they were close enough , I could smell them .


    It was the same sickly scent from before .


    Rogues .


    I thought we were only paid to capture one girl , one of the rogues asked in a harsh whisper .


    So , well ask for more money , another said with a dark chuckle .


    Who are they anyways ? I dont fucking know .


    I didnt ask questions .


    He gave me a price and I told him no problein , another rogue muttered .


    Im starving ; lets get some food while we wait for them to wake up .


    Itll probably be a while .


    We used a lot of wolfsbane .


    They sauntered off ; the sounds of their shoes growing more distant and then I heard the opening and shutting of a door , along with a lock .


    So far , telling from their voices , there were 3 of them .


    But I remembered there being more than that before I passed out .


    I opened my eyes and immediately knew that I was in a dark cer .


    I lifted my head , ignoring the pounding of my temple .


    It seemed I was in arge cage of some sort , like a caged animal .


    I felt myself growing more furious by the second .


    I looked around , trying to get my bearings , but it was hard to see without my wolfs natural abilities guiding me .


    But I was able to see clearly enough to know that I wasnt alone .


    Chapter 0097  My heart sank when I saw Irene lying next to me ,pletely passed out .


    She had a gash on her head from when she fell to the ground , and she was looking so pale .


    Irene … I croaked , crawling over to her .


    I winced as the metal around my wrists burned into my flesh .


    I touched her cold cheek and felt a surge of panic rushing towards me .


    I felt around her neck for a pulse and when I found a faint one , I let out a breath of relief .


    I brushed her blood soaked hair out of her face .


    Please , wake up , I whispered .


    We have to get out of here .


    The problem was , I had no idea how we were going to leave here .


    I knew one thing for sure ; these men thought I was still passed out and they werent going to do anything until we were both awake , which meant I had to act like I was asleep when I heard them returning .


    I rested my back against the wall and took a deep and shaky breath , coughing slightly at the musky feel of the dusty air .


    I wasnt sure how I was able to recover from the wolfsbane so quickly , but I knew Irene would probably be asleep for a while .


    I reached for her slowly sliding her across the floor so her head could be rested on myp .


    I slowly stroked her hair , humming softly to her .


    I didnt want her to be afraid when she woke up .


    Im not sure how long we remained like that for ; there were no windows and there was no clock , so I had no idea what time it was .


    But I know it had to have been hours at least .


    I was groggy and my head was bobbing up and down when I heard the shoes approaching .


    I quickly scooted Irene off myp , so her head was rested on the ground again and then I rested my head beside hers , closing my eyes .
