Chapter Four

Homer tugged at his chains. The caves where they held him captive leaked water and a torturous drip pounded down on his leg in the same spot, over and over again. In a circle, equally immobile as he was, several of his pack mates were in various states of distress. Finn hadn’t awakened from being knocked on the head—not a good sign. Tatum groaned, gripping his stomach and periodically spitting out blood while Joe remained stoic, staring straight ahead, he hadn’t spoken in hours.

As for himself, Homer was mostly pissed. He’d been whacked, knocked down, taken by surprise, and all of it from inbred cowards who roamed the hills outside of his Alpha’s pack lands. This was not how Homer was going out, this was not how he was leaving Camille.

When he thought of her, his heart hurt. He’d promised her protection and he’d delivered none. He knew Robbie and the others would keep her safe. But he wasn’t ready to leave her. Not even close.

He pulled on his restraints and Joe turned to look at him. “You’re only going to make yourself exhausted and you’ll never get out.”

Homer had fought side by side with the other werewolf for years. “When did you become such a pessimist? I only need to loosen these enough for me to be able to get the slightest space in them. Then I can shift and we’re all getting out of here.”

“Unsung hero of the war you might be, but you aren’t going to get out of this. You know what the hill wolves are like. They’re all half crazed and they want Robbie’s pack land. I can assure you, considering the ease by which they took us, this had been planned for a long time. Distract the whole pack with the constant sick dragons and then grab us when our backs were turned. Kind of brilliant actually.”

Homer gritted his teeth and tugged on his chains some more. “You’ll forgive me if I’m not really in the mood to discuss strategy. I’m more interested in killing our captors.”

Joe nodded. “At least you got to mate. That’s a gift. Funny, I had just decided, thanks to you finding yours, there might be a future for all of us. Robbie’s plans could actually come through.”

“They will. We’re all getting out of here, Joe. I’ll figure out a way.”

A bang sounded, announcing the arrival of their captors. The hill wolves were a surly, unclean bunch. Most of them had never served in the battles, fleeing to the hills and hiding while the rest of them risked their lives and limbs to keep the werewolves safe from dragons. While there, if the stories were true, they’d gone ahead and picked up a real addiction to the dragon egg serum Dougal’s mate Caitlyn had figured out how to destroy.

The hill wolves didn’t want the manufacturing of the illegal, sometimes lethal substance to stop. They saw Robbie’s pack as getting in the way and had become a real nuisance to deal with.
