knew this was going to be a roller coaster ride.
Jewel turned toward the door as she heard the vehicle tearing down the driveway.
“ He is here, so get ready.” Jewel could hear the Alpha running up the steps and into the house. She opened the door as he ran up to her.
“ Where is she?” Jewel turned and sadly looked into the room as Marcus followed her gaze. He could see his daughter’s lifeless body lying on the table. He could see that her body was battered and bruised from the tumultuous abuse. Marcus slowly entered the room. Jewel could see the pain in his eyes. His daughter had been beaten and tortured over and over and he couldn’t do anything to help her. Jewel watched as the Alpha picked up his daughter’s hand. He held it up to his lips as he kissed it and rubbed it on his cheeks.
Vander watched as the Alpha carefully car essed her hand.
The nurse walked in and bowed to Marcus then brought him a chair so he could sit by his daughter. Vander needed to talk with Kane and let him know that the doctor said about Waverly. He exited the room as Flynn paced the hallway. Jewel was telling him what happened when they found Waverly. Vander walked past them to the porch. He looked out as Kane moved toward him.
“ The doctor said she will live, Kane, but only time will tell if she is all right. I left her with the Alpha,” Vander explained.
“ Good, we will bring her through this, Vander, she is ours,” Kane said softly.
“ Do we have protection set?” Vander said quickly.
“ Yep, and I spoke with Ret and Lex. They are going to send more. If they come back for her, we will be ready.” Vander could tell Kane was about to explode in frustration, he felt the same way.
Chapter Twelve
Orion Holder walked into the building they had purchased for their meetings and held their prisoners. He was angry and needed to hurt someone. As he entered the room where two men were sitting, Orion growled out questions. Josh Campbell was out of control, and the Redeemer was pissed off. And Diane was nowhere to be found, he was going to have to find out what was going on.
“ Which one of you morons dumped Waverly Grant’s body?”
The man sitting on the couch smugly lifted his hand. “ That would be me. Following orders.” The man never saw it coming when Orion half shifted and swung his arm out with his claws dragging them across the man’s face. He howled out in pain as the claw traveled down to the bone.
“ You fucking idiot. Whose orders were you following?” Orion snarled out.
“ No, no, no she was dead. I didn’t feel her breathing anymore. We were supposed to check on the prisoners and if they had died then we were to dispose of the body.”
Orion knew they needed more minions , these two had to be the stupidest wolves on earth. Diane was going to be pissed when she got back. Orion didn’t plan being there.
“ She wasn’t breathing? How do you know she wasn’t breathing?” Orion sneered.
The man groaned as he felt the blood dripping into his eyes. “ I put my face up to hers to see if she was breathing and she wasn’t so we got rid of her body.”
“ How in hell have you gotten this far in life without someone killing you?” Orion asked. The two men looked at Orion as if he had asked a mathematical equation. “She was still alive and now they have her in the shifter hospital. She will be talking soon if she hasn’t already. She saw who you were and she knows your name you fucking imbeciles.”
The man who Orion didn ’t hit was up as he sputtered out, “Do you think she knows about this place?” The man was shaking as he asked.
At least this one wasn ’t stupid enough to realize that they were still safe. “I would say this place has been compromised,” Orion snarled. “Here is the question I need to know. Did you ever use my name around the girl?” Both men shook their head
