Chapter 12

“Urghh.”

I opened my eyes to see the straw of the cell and groaned at how much everything ached from sleeping on such a hard floor. The ball had gone on until way beyond midnight, and I had spent most of those hours dancing with the King. Obviously, it was he that had insisted on it and I that had been forced to begrudgingly go along with it.

“What time is it?” I asked the guard.

“7:30 am,” he replied shortly.

“Is there any chance I’ll be getting out of here soon or should I just kill myself now before either boredom, discomfort or the cold does?”

“Kill yourself and save the King the bother.”

I rolled my eyes and wished for someone less intolerable to talk to.

It wasn’t for another two hours that my wish was granted with the arrival of my Dad.

“Sleep well?” he asked.

“Fucking brilliantly.”

“I’ll try to talk to the King again. Negotiate some way. You won’t be in here forever.”

I then suddenly remembered another reason I wouldn’t be in here forever. Max had been at the ball last night and Leo would now be on his way.

Leo was on his way.

“Anyway, when did you become such a graceful dancer?” my Dad asked.

“Leo taught me. We have balls at home. Can’t say I enjoyed last night as much as when I have my mate to dance with rather than that son of a bitch.”

“Keep your voice down,” my Dad said. “And you had to dance with your cousin too. He’s never been the sort I’d want my daughter near, and I hear he even tried to do away with you seven years ago?”

I nodded and looked at the floor.

“He’s got something strongly against our family. What did he talk to you about?”

“Oh, just this and that, nothing worth repeating,” I mumbled vaguely.

My Dad narrowed his eyes at me, but I was spared the ordeal of going any further by a set of heavy footsteps marching down the steps into the dungeon. Connor soon came into sight with a serious expression.

“He’s two miles away,” he stated as he pulled out a key from his pocket.

“Who?”

“Loren. Alpha fucking Loren,” Connor said as he unlocked the cell.

Dad jumped to his feet, his face immediately turning to match Connor’s, “What? How does he know?”

“Nobody knows,” Connor answered before unlocking the cell door. “He has 5000 men. They’re readying the archers, cavalry and infantry as we speak, but we aren’t ready for him yet and we don’t have enough time to get the defences up properly.”

“Fuck,” my Dad cursed. “5000?!”

“It isn’t just the Stella Pack here. He’s got allies.”

“How many men do you have?” I asked.

“2000,” Connor replied shortly as he opened the door of the cell. “Come with me, Ella. I have to take you somewhere more secure.”

He reached for my hand, but I snatched it away.

“This is a suicide mission. You can’t fight 5000 with 2000, even if Leonardo Loren wasn’t their leader! You will lose and he will kill you. It is not too late to surrender.
