CHAPTER NINE

By the fourth morning of their respite, the walls that sheltered them from the falling temperatures were starting to close in on Thea.

The enforcers never came inside, but half a dozen of them took shifts patrolling the grounds, each with a rifle slung over his back. No one in her group knew why they’d been taken to the cabin instead of the enclosure at the zoo, nor did they have even a working theory. It didn’t make sense that they’d been given food, fresh clothes, and had their collars removed. Not even Rhys had a guess as to why the sudden change in routine, and he knew the pack better than anyone.

Men like Bricksten Chase never did anything unless it benefited them in some way, and she wanted to know what he had planned. The three nights in the cabin hadn’t been a show of mercy, nor had it been a reward for surviving the full moon. Whatever he had planned for them, she couldn’t imagine it would be worse than the Gallows, but mostly, she was just tired of sitting around waiting for something to happen.

The morning had dawned cold and gloomy, and the clouds beyond the window held the suspicious hint of snow. Growing up in Pennsylvania, Thea was no stranger to snow, but she’d only had to spend the night in it once, and it had been the worst night of her life. While the cabin protected them from the elements now, she had the feeling their level of comfort would take a drastic turn soon.

The scent of maple syrup drifted to her in the little room where she’d been brought to dress for the Gathering on her first night with the pack. Her stomach rumbled in response, but she didn’t much feel like socializing.

“Thanks. I’ll grab a plate in a few minutes.”

Dragging one of the other armchairs over to the window beside her, Rhys settled into his and leaned forward, resting his elbows on his knees. “Talk to me, angel. What’s going on in that head of yours?”

“It’s nothing.” A grin twitched at the corners of her lips when he grunted at her. “Nothing new,” she elaborated. “Still worrying about why we’re here and what it means. I’m glad not to have that collar around my neck, but it doesn’t exactly fit with what I know about the pack. It seems like a huge risk to just let us run around uncontrolled.”

Rhys arched a dark eyebrow at her. “Is that what you think? Angel, there are guards surrounding this place, armed with enough firepower to take down a city block. There are cameras everywhere.”

Thea’s cheeks heated when she thought about someone watching her with Rhys in the shower. Nudity didn’t
