Obviously, Agnes was helping him in some way but anything beyond that was pure conjecture. I judged anything Violet had told me about Yeager to be untrue so I could garner little from her story that would be of use.
I waited throughout the day, anxious and excited. Violet didn’t appear again and neither did Agnes except to deliver meals. I found no other notes and the girl made no effort to communicate with me. The hours wore on and finally after the sun was down and it had been dark for several hours, I tried to sleep. I found it difficult to relax, however. My mind raced and for hours, I imagined all sorts of things, good and bad. But I was tired and I finally fell asleep.
I woke and found my room filled with a pale blue light. Dawn was coming. I climbed from bed and made ready. To kill time, I showered but I didn’t dress afterward though I still couldn’t imagine why I had to be nude. I stood by the window, ignoring the cold. I peered out and the sky to the east was painted with shades of orange and pink and purple. The minutes dragged by as I waited and I had an odd thought. What if this another of Violet’s tricks?
Had she ordered Agnes to deliver the note to further torment me? I couldn’t believe that. I had to believe Yeager was coming but nevertheless, my confidence waned. If he didn’t come, Violet had promised this would be my last morning. She would harvest my essence, whatever that was, and leave me dead. I felt sick at the thought. My heart ached for the girls Violet had already subjected to her twisted plans and for the others that might follow if she failed today.
I wouldn’t let that happen. I couldn’t. I would take control of the situation and when she opened that door to take me away, I would escape or die trying. I felt little emotion. Instead, a stoic resolve came over me. I hoped Agnes’ note was legitimate. I hoped that Yeager was in fact coming, but if he didn’t I would not allow myself to be violated.
I looked out the window, my mind quiet now. I simply waited for one eventuality or another. In any case, I had come to terms with my fate and my time as a wolf allowed me to find some manner of peace. Then, suddenly I heard a scuffle outside of my door. I turned to face whatever was coming. A moment later, the lock clicked and the door opened slowly. I was sure Yeager had come to save me but Agnes stood there instead, naked and wiping blood from her mouth. I saw the guards lying dead at her feet. Then I heard the rumble. At first, I couldn’t tell from where it came but then it grew louder.
I turned to look out the window and a cloud of dust rose from behind the hill outside the entrance to Wolfsbane Ranch. Then, as the sun’s light spilled over the landscape, a single motorcycle came roaring down the road and crested the hill. I leaned forward and smiled. I recognized that man. I recognized my mate. Then a moment later, our motorhome crested the hill followed by more motorcycles, Jeeps, trucks and several more motorhomes.
Yeager had come and behind him was an army. An army of shifters, I assumed. I turned to Agnes and she smiled at me. “We need to go, Cassie,” Agnes urged. I looked out the window one last time as Yeager rode towards the gate of Wo lfsbane Ranch. He rode under the metal wolf’s head and then I turned and followed Agnes out of the room. I might be able to make good on the promise I made to Lady Violet after all if only I could free myself from the evil bitches grasp.
