It was hours later when the door was thrust open. Brair couldn’t be sure if he’d slept, or if he’d just been laying awake in the dark. He was groggy from thirst, and for one moment, he envisioned that the hulking body filling the door was Rohan. He shrunk back when he realized it wasn’t.
“Pack master said someone oughta feed you before you starve to death.” He chuckled as he threw a slab of cured meat at Briar’s feet. “I told ‘im I like ‘em small, but he said you’re not for me anyway unless I win you at the auction.” He was still laughing when he closed the door behind him.
Briar closed his eyes, letting those words wash over him. So he was going back to the auction. He would be tied up and teased, and given away to the most savage alpha. If he ever did conceive again, it wouldn’t be a child born of tender love like the one he had cradled inside his body. His future would be bleak suffering, devoid of all the tenderness he’d experienced with Rohan.
No.
He would escape before then. Rohan would come for him and they would fight their way out. He just had to stay strong until then.
He grabbed at the meat and ate hungrily, grateful for the protein to nourish his pup. The salty food only intensified his thirst, though, and he resorted to standing under one of the drips in the roof with his mouth open to catch some water. It tasted earthy, but he could feel the liquid slowly reviving him. His head became clearer, some of the pain subsiding.
With his energy somewhat restored, he began scratching at the dirt by the wall of the hut, frowning when he saw that the wall was imbedded in the earth, probably for a foot or two, so it would be impossible to dig under it without someone noticing before he got out. He paced the small room, sniffing and rooting, picking up the scent of the Bloody Fang pack. So he was back in Bloody Fang territory. It was about a nights run from where he’d been taken, though he wondered what kind of shape Rohan would be in to run after fighting a half-dozen wolves. It would be slow going for sure, probably taking him twice as long if he made it at all. Briar’s heart ached at the thought of the wounds his mate must be carrying, and he wished he were with him so he could treat them.
If Rohan were wounded, it might take him three or more days to make the trip, and then he’d have to find Briar without drawing the attention of the rest of the pack. Could his mate really manage it? Briar felt in his heart, with savage certainty, that Rohan would come for him and their pup.
He lay his head down again, trying to stay calm for the sake of the child inside of him. He rubbed his belly, already feeling that it had become larger, a round swell protruding from what used to be flat muscle.
