Chapter 44

• Hunter
• After a week in William’s hands, the dungeon’s oppressive darkness was driving us to the edge of despair. The air was thick with frustration and fear, and it was impossible to ignore the angry glares my men cast my way. They blamed me for leading them into this nightmare unprepared, seeking my cousin’s help without enough men or a proper plan.
• I shared their frustration. I needed to return to my own pack, to Amelia, and our young son. William had threatened to kill me, yet he kept us here, taunting us with uncertainty. He came to the dungeon frequently, his grin a constant reminder of my past wrongs.
