Just beyond the southern pack’s district boundaries, General Teague Verasachi threw open the heavy wooden doors of the secluded outbuilding. The old, dilapidated barn stood in virtual isolation at the south end of the Wolverine Woods and was still used from time to time for private meetings and other, less pleasant activities…

Such as torture.

The moment he entered the musty structure, he immediately spied his beta lieutenant Jacob Tansy and the three captured prisoners: the rebels Walker Alencion, Kade Burnett, and Echo Morgan. In their search for Arielle Nightsong, they had stumbled across the Rebel Camp quite by accident and managed to capture or kill all but a handful of fleeing humans. Unfortunately, the object of the king’s desire had not been present—there was no trace of Arielle anywhere. And so, they had brought three of the fiercest rebels back to the southern lycan district in hopes of coaxing further information out of the prisoners.

“Anything yet?” Teague asked Jacob, strolling across the disorderly space in three great strides.

Jacob frowned. He pointed to Walker Alencion, who was hanging from the ceiling, his wrists bound together and attached to a large iron hook. The skin of his back had been flayed raw with a leather lash, and there were several sharp metal spikes protruding through his feet, where Jacob had pierced the limbs through the soles, upward. “Nothing useful,” he bit out. “I have questioned this human trash a dozen times, and I continue to get the same answer: The last time he saw Arielle was two days ago, early Wednesday morning. She was heading to the banks of the Skeleton Swamps to collect healing herbs, and he hasn’t heard from her since.” He interlocked his fingers, cracked his knuckles, and rotated his head on his neck to release some tension. “It’s strange because it’s almost as if there is something else he wants to tell me, something he knows about her whereabouts, but he just can’t access the information.”

Teague circled Walker slowly, glaring at him with barely concealed rage. “What do you mean: He just can’t access the information?”

Jacob shrugged his brawny shoulders and shifted his weight from one large foot to the other. “Don’t know. Can’t explain. It’s like a part of his memory, maybe even his mind, has just been burned away.” He pointed at a particularly hideous gash in Walker’s left side—the wound was bubbling with thick, coagulating blood and already oozing pus. “I’ve packed salt, poured alcohol, and even inserted poisonous thorns into these wounds. He screams like a stuck pig, but he still doesn’t talk.” He grasped Walker by the chin and dug his nails into his cheeks, causing him to gasp in pain. “I don’t think he’s that strong. It’s almost as if he would tell us…if he could. But he can’t.”

Teague grunted in displeasure and turned his attention to the second male, Echo Morgan. “And this one?”

Echo was bound to a high-backed torture chair—the crude implement was fashioned like any other stool, only there were
