Chapter 90
Serafine POV
I hate this. I’m being escorted through the pack house, and I already know where I’m going, back to the box, with no door and a mat as a bed.
Gideon walks ahead, the guard just ahead of him who is carrying Eryx, when Gideon stops at the doorway and points, I hesitate.
If I do this, I’m stuck in that room. I can feel my wolf again now, which he won’t be expecting. I’ve still got on the cuffs that should bind my wolf.
The quicker I shift and act, the greater the chance I have of killing him, grasping the baby and running.
“Move!” Gideon roars, and I nod slowly.
As I step forward, I let my wolf take over, and the shift is almost instant. Everyone screams and scrambles, and lunge for Gideon. The moment I do, I hear
the shot.
Pain explodes through me, and I lose connection with my wolf. My body shifts back instantly, and I fall to the floor.
“Well, that’s good to know. Make sure all the people close to this room are armed with the right equipment to silence her wolf if she tries to shift.” Gideon leans down and grips my chin. “Silvermane Hound, impressive, but even that is weak to pure wolfsvane.”
I’m dragged up off the floor, and I scream.
“Put her in there, I’m taking her son.”
“No!” I scream. “Please, what do you want with him?”
Gideon smiles wider. “You know what I want, Serafine, you to comply, to follow the rules.”
I’m shoved into the room, and the guards stand outside it, ready to shoot if I even look like I’m about to shift.
“Don’t hurt him!” I beg.
”
“I should, I should rip out his heart for you trying to attack me. Next time, i will. This time, I guess he’s lucky that he’s useful.”
“He’s just a baby!” I cry.
“True, but did you know that babies are very susceptible to mind washing? The longer he spends with me, the more he will grow up to believe his powers are meant to be used in a way I want.”
My head shakes. “You can’t keep him forever, you can’t do this! I have to see him.” I wipe my eyes and beg he listens.
“Oh, you will, when I stand here and tell him how you killed his father, how you were trying to kill him just after he was born. Your son will see you as the
enemy.”
He can’t mean that. “I’ll do anything, please just don’t do that!”
“All the greatest warriors have enemies that make them stronger, Serafine, and you… You’re going to be your sons, and I will watch him, furious and become a beast.” He disappears and moves out of sight, his footsteps fading.
“Please! Gideon, whatever you plan to use him for, I’ll do it! Me!”
He doesn’t reply, his footsteps fade into the distance until they gone completely. No! This can’t be happening. I pace the small space. It’s our four steps to each side but it’s something.
My eyes flick to the door, and I wonder how many other soldiers are outside it that I can’t see? Surely I could shift and get past the initial two?

She really thinks she’s going to escape, Damon chuckles,
“Hard luck Serafine, beside us two, there’s another six guards in this hall armed and ready for if you slip past us. Be a good mut and sit doin
“Screw you,” 1 snart.
“Do you think Gideon would let me?” Damon chuckles and looks at Ollie.
“Why wouldn’t he? She’s already been touched, she’s not pure, remember to ask him during the break,” Ollie explains.
“You come near me and I’ll tear your eyes out,” I warn.
“You won’t be able to stop us if he agrees,” Damon mocks.
“Gideon thinks that baby of hers is special,” Ollie says, tilting his head. “Maybe if I got her pregnant, our baby would be?”
Damon laughs like it’s amusing. “She wouldn’t be the first
that Gideon
used
for breeding purposes.”

slams against the wall, and I groan.
My vision swarms, and I try to focus, but the darkness is creeping in too much.
“Forget asking Gideon, keep the gun on her,” Damon says, his words low. I can’t move; the force of the hit has made my body unresponsive. The feeling of hands grasping me makes my body try to fight.
My hands begin to claw at him, he winches, and the first flies too quickly for me to brace.
It hits and I groan, my vision swimming, and everything around me becomes muted.
“I say we use her anyway,” a voice snarls, and I fight against the darkness, but it drags me further down. My body is turned, and I feel something fasten around my wrists, so when I try to pull, I can’t.
A warm breath washes over my neck, and my body shakes with disgust.
“I will make everyone aware, Serafine,” Damon snarls into my ear. “You have no idea how many of the Betas, Gammas and such wanted to use you before you were sold. I think it’s time they got their wish.”
No! My head shakes, and I try to say it, to scream, but the darkness is still clinging to m,e and I can’t figure out how to get my mind awake.
I didn’t think this time could be any worse than before. I thought I was tortured enough, that maybe me been brought back here this time would be different, Gideon had a use for me.
I was wrong. Now, no one seems to care about leaving me untouched like in the past.
He thrusts into me and I try to cry out, but no sound comes, my body doesn’t react, it doesn’t thrash, it’s too heavy to do anything.
My mind, though, vows that when I can, I’m ripping Damon apart, piece by piece. I will get my revenge for this. It might take time, it might not be quick,
