Chapter Three

Dani was curled up in bed trying to sleep, but her stomach was in knots and no sleeping position seemed to be working.

“Shit,” she murmured under her breath. All she wanted to do was rest and it was already well after two in the morning. Suddenly Dani was met with a sharp, stabbing pain in her stomach, and she barely made it to the bathroom in time to throw up in the toilet. She let out a string of curses and let her head lean on the edge of the bowl.

“Are you okay?”

Dani was mortified. There was a female wolf standing over her. Dani shook her head and motioned for her to leave.

The woman touched her hand to Dani’s head. “Have you been like this for long?”

Dani began to retch again and she frantically waved her hand. She did not need to be taken care of for an upset stomach.

“If it’s the drugs the hunters gave you, Dani, this won’t stop.”

Dani groaned and continued to throw up. She could not recall a time in her life that her stomach had hurt this much. She continued to get sick. “Please leave,” Dani groaned again. It literally felt like her stomach was trying to escape her body via her mouth.

“Is she okay?” she heard Phil’s voice ask from over her head.

Why couldn’t she be left alone to be sick in private? She laid her head against the bowl, then looked down at her hands and saw that they were shaking. “I just need to go to bed,” she groaned.

The female wolf was touching her head now. “It’s the effect of the drugs leaving your system. Let us get you something?”

Dani shook her off and looked down. She felt gross. “Just let me—”

She threw up again without warning and could do nothing as the blond wolf held her up. Could she be right?

“Go get her something, please, Phil,” the female wolf said.

Dani began to cry. The woman rinsed her mouth out with cool water and helped her out of her clothes. She twisted a quick braid into Dani’s hair and glanced towards the door. “Phil and I were both taken once, so we know what it’s like. Just try to relax.”

“Where is Mason?” Dani whispered. “Can you please just tell him to come up here?”

“He’s out right now.” The female wiped at Dani’s mouth again. “I’m Portia.”

Dani groaned again and was immediately brought up and over the bowl. She laid her head in Portia’s lap and continued to cry.

“You were taken?” she asked Portia after a while.

“A lot of us have been. We owe our lives to Mason. He is one of the best trackers I have ever met. He just cares that much.” Portia was rubbing Dani’s head. “Mason was taken many years ago and kept for almost a year. It kills him when one of our own is out there being held captive like an animal.”

Dani heard footsteps walking towards them and she looked up. “I don’t think I can swallow anything.
