Chapter 14

Valdus

A foul odor wafted through the heavy door beyond Valdus’s cage. There was noise, too, but he was used to that. Shifters coming and going. Poking him. Prodding him. Laughing at him. But whatever hid behind the door tonight was not his tormentors, or at least, not his usual ones.

He lifted his large muzzle and sucked in the stale air. A skunk. He recoiled and retreated to the far end of his cage. If this was his new torture, so be it.

“I know that scent,” a delicate voice whispered.

His soul leaped. Just as she knew his scent, he knew that voice. His mate. His beloved. Chell. A dream? A new trick to torment him further? Had they finally realized that as long as he had her in his heart, they’d never fully break him?

It didn’t matter. Ploy or not, it worked.

His mouth opened, and he whined, low, pitiful, shameless. I am here. Are you real? Would she forgive him his weakness? He could only hope. He dashed to the bars closest to the door, stopping short to avoid the barbed wire wrapped along the bottom three feet. His lips curled back, and he whined again.

Come to me. I’m here.

The door creaked open and three bodies fell in. Two strange males who stopped in fear, and one beautiful bear shifter whose eyes landed on him with surprise. She was not only real but vibrant and healthy. Solomon’s taunts, his claims that she was a broken, battered thing, were pure lies. Though her scent was masked by the pungent musk, he didn’t doubt his sight. Chell.

You found me.

He stood and pressed his paws against the bars, ignoring the prickling pain of wires digging into his fur and catching his belly. His mate was here. Time had passed cruel and slow since he’d been taken from her, and he didn’t know how long it had been in total, but she was as strong and lovely as ever. A vision.

The salty taste of tears singed his throat. She cried. She screamed. Her small hand reached through the bars and rested on the matted fur of his chest, calming him but upsetting herself further.

The men responded to her panic and anger. Though they had at first smelled of skunk, their anxiety now tinged the air with a different odor. Did she command human servants now? They examined the lock to his cage, but they had no key.

The shelf. It hangs behind the shelf.

She didn’t understand him. He didn’t know why, but the connection they’d shared before was severed. Time, likely. The drugs in his meals, equally likely. Whatever the cause, they’d fix it.

She stared at with him large, dark eyes. Gold seeped through as they grew wide and furious.

“Stand back,” she growled to the men.

He fell back from the bars and circled the center of his small confined space as she shifted from her svelte human form into the fierce bear he remembered. She charged the cage, once, twice. Again, and again she struck his prison.
