Chapter Fifteen

Elsa couldn’t imagine what exactly it took to make an obviously strong Alpha male bellow in such obvious pain, but Leif’s anguish was all too evident. And she knew in the depths of her very soul it was Leif. The nondescript facility on the outskirts of the wastelands below the city was the focus of the small group of “liberators” Elsa had joined. In a desperate bid to find and rescue Leif from the hell she’d sentenced him to, she’d risked certain death if she were caught. As of now, her children were safe. If Elsa gave her life to save Leif, then God knew it was no less than she deserved.

Despite the doors, windows and stone walls, Leif’s bellows echoed in the stillness of the night, an accusation of her betrayal. And she knew it was him. Knew it in her bones, her very soul. The building looked like a three-story warehouse on the outside, but inside apparently hid a house of horrors the likes of which she had never even conceived. This particular facility seemed to house mostly adults, but their contact had indicated there were three, possibly four children as well.

They’d been told each floor held a progressively higher level of security with the children being on the first floor. They’d located three rooms holding young shifters but had been at a loss as to what to do or where to find the fourth. So far, their contact, Beth, had been true to her word. Each security measure had been circumvented with little difficulty.

“If we take them back to camp now we’ll never get back in,” another man employed at the facility but sympathetic to their cause remarked.

“And if we release them we’d have to take them with us into a fight.” John was the group’s leader. He’d originally balked at the idea of actually breaking into this facility, reasoning they didn’t have enough manpower and had no idea exactly what they’d be walking into. But then Beth had shown up and pleaded with John to liberate the place, calling it nothing more than a sadistic man’s torture chamber. It had been obvious the two were well acquainted, especially when John gave a resigned sigh and began planning.

“Well, we can’t leave them,” Elsa hissed.

John gave a frustrated sigh. “All right, you stay here, Elsa. Get all the children together and wait for us near the stairwell. If you think you’re in danger of getting caught, take them outside as quietly as you can and hide. Meet us back at the caverns. Otherwise, we’ll find you at the stairs.”

“But Leif—”

“Stay. Here.” John wouldn’t be moved, his face hard and unyielding. “You’re an unknown. Beth and I have done this several times, though usually with more planning and not in a place so heavily guarded. We’ll be more comfortable doing this without you in the way.” It was clear censure. Elsa had pushed them all into this. How would she feel if she got one or more of them killed?

“Be careful,” Beth warned.
