Chapter Sixteen

Autumn

Once again, Autumn had no idea how long she was out. Vargan was already on the move when she came back to awareness, the grogginess lingering even after her eyes opened.

She hung limp over his shoulder for a while, watching the ground pass as she tried to pull herself together. Despite the fact the sun was up and she’d clearly slept a good six hours, Autumn felt exhausted, the drugs in her system trying to pull her back under.

Her arms had ached the last time she woke, but she could no longer feel them besides a deep throbbing in her shoulders. She tried to wiggle her fingers but they were so numb she couldn’t tell if they responded or not.

Arching her back to lift her head, Autumn tried to get a better look around. They were still moving through forest but more of the trees were evergreens instead of the deciduous trees from around the village. That, coupled with the sun on her right, made her think Vargan was carrying her deeper into the mountains of the north.

She choked up for a minute, tears flooding her eyes. What good did it do to know which way he was taking her if he kept her drugged so she couldn’t get away?

She’d always found Darcon’s scent attractive, and the other alphas mostly had pleasant scents, but Vargan’s was repulsive. He smelled of stale sweat and semen with the coppery tang of blood.

The jolt to her shoulders awakened the throbbing, intensifying it to the point where she hunched in on herself, trying to move them into a more natural position.

Vargan moved behind her, yanking her wrists before she knew what he was going to do. Her cry was muffled by the gag in her mouth, but it didn’t stop the tears from streaming down her face.

“You have five minutes to eat, drink, and relieve yourself. Don’t even think of running.”

Autumn hissed as her arms swung forward, the dead weight of them pulling on the sockets. They refused to respond at first, twitching as blood flow and feeling returned.

A bottle was thrust into her face along with a strip of dried meat. Her arms finally did as she asked, though it still hurt to move them. Keeping her head down, she took the items from Vargan and sat them in her lap.

“Five minutes,” he repeated.

Autumn nodded her head in case he was waiting for acknowledgment. Reaching up, she carefully pulled the gag from her mouth, the damp wad of fabric falling to hang around her neck.

As much as she needed to relieve herself, her thirst was more demanding. She downed half of the bottle before setting it down beside her. She wanted
