Kieran's head snapped the moment their mind link twitched!
Vera?!
The thread of her voice cracked through after a moment's delay in the stream. "Alpha!Alpha... HELP!"
A low growl rumbled in Kieran's throat. Damn!
They got Vera already? Damn shit!
He pivoted, moving into the shadows. "Vera?Can you hear me?" No answer.
He pushed past handlers and some buyers who were in the middle of taking their seats…barely blinking as he slithered behind the viewing pillars.
His heart pounded and chest tightened with every breath.So close… he was so close to finding her… he almost felt it… and now this. Nah! Not happening.
From behind the metal grates, he saw Vera.
She was already surrounded. But was still standing…well,barely.
Her hood was gone. Her hair hung tangled over her shoulders. Her cloak had already been stripped from her. One of the handlers grabbed her roughly by the arm and began dragging her towards the center ring...The central circular stage like area.
