Nicholas was far away, maybe still standing in that ballroom, staring at the place | had been. Or, worse, he was still fighting with the bear warriors Jane had snuck in.
| had no idea how much time had passed, and no way to check it. The room Joyce and | was in was very bare bones outside of our cages. It looked like an old wine cellar, but no bottles had been left behind. The shelves had begun rotting.
"How do you know we're in the North?" | asked. The room had no windows.

How easy it was to forget that Joyce was also an alpha wolf, since he rarely showed his alpha qualities. But an alpha, with their more enhanced senses, would be able to detect those subtle differences.
*Also, every guard | have seen so far is a bear," Joyce said. "That's not as much as a giveaway. They could have sneaked into our country, but given the other reasons, that doesn't seem to be the case.” "Oh," | said, a sinking feeling rising within me. | had no reason to doubt him... unless he was still in league with the underground organization.
But given the tattered state of his clothes and darkened bags under his eyes, he didn't seem like he had returned to their fold.
*| see you looking at me like that," Joyce said. "With suspicion." He hung his head. "Make no mistake, their capture of me was no great rescue.
They don't care about me at all. They stole me away only to use me for their own nefarious purpose.” "What purpose is that?" If | could uncover this plan, maybe | could do something to escape on my own. With all of my friends so very far away, it was left to me and Joyce to rescue ourselves.

"What power?" Jane had never had her own wolf. The only ability she ever had, she had stolen from me. But now | had it back, and | wasn't going to give it back - ever. She would have to kill me first.
Although, maybe killing me is part of her plan.
*Two babies were kidnapped when the rebels attempt to disrupt the bear nation," Jane said. "Only one had been tested and proven to have shifter abilities. The other was raised to ever be a decoy. A spare to toss away in case the true princess were in danger." She spat out the word true, like it disgusted her.
*Can you imagine the life of that poor second child? Ever to live in her sisters shadow? So invisible that the kingdom doesn't even know she exists?" Jane continued. "Well no longer. Too long have you been given everything you want, Piper."
