Chapter 26
Hunter tossed the rifle to one of the guards. “Dart her twice. Immediately. If the human survived the Alpha’s bite, even weakened like she is she could have gone insane and she can do a lo
a lot of damage. We get her down. We get her kenneled and we get the hell out of here.” He instructed. When he got a round of ‘yes sir‘ from the men he nodded to them and readied his pole, unlocking the door and going in first.
Cassidy could not smell or hear the men outside of the door since the room was sealed but she was ready for them. She stilled and her ears tipped forward when the lock clicked open, every muscle tensing under her fur. Her growling before the door even opened put Jett on alert. “What is it?” Just as Jett had asked the question, the door came flying open and the men all dressed in their black tactical guard uniforms came rushing in. Seeing Jame’s Identical brother Hunter threw Cassidy off. She had planned to just attack the men and go for their throats but the second or two of seeing the look alike face had her hesitating. The hesitation, the unrealistic hope that it was finally the alpha again, the belief that maybe just maybe the wolf had liked or cared about her on some level was shattered as soon as she caught hunters scent and the man came charging at her.
Jett had forced his yeak body to stand to help–her, but he couldn’t get close with his chains and all he could do was shout and curse and threaten the me His yells were barely heard by Cass as she desperately tried to recover from her shock and avoid the catch pole that had nearly slipped over her head on Hunters first attempt to catch her. She side stepped, nearly dancing to the side as she avoided and ducked but the maneuver laster only seconds before she was lunging for Hunters legs. Anger spilled over into Cassidy’s soul. Years and years of bottled up anger and aggression broke free and the she–wolf used every last ounce of it along with the adrenaline rushing through her veins to go in after the Alpha look alike. Cassidy snarled savagely as she leapt forward at Hunters legs, teeth sinking into his calf. She never felt the first dart tag her in her flank, the taste of blood overpowering her senses as the she–wolf let loose her anger and tore into Hunter. Cassi shook his leg like a rag doll focusing on doing the maximum amount of damage that she could. Jett was yelling at her and the guards, The alpha look–alike was roaring in pain as he nearly toppled over when she unbalanced him and she was growling aggressively, latched onto the male like a vise.
Cassidy was unsure what was happening to her, warmth spread up her spine and clouded her brain as the tranquilizer began to swiftly take affect. Hunter bent over and grabbed the white wolf by the sides of her face just under her ears right as numbness spread through her face. Her grip unlatched from his leg and Hunter used his weight and strength to slam her head right down against the cement. “SHOOT HER AGAIN DAMNIT!” he roared from above her.
The she–wolfs body twisted and turned as she struggled to get free of the iron grip that was holding her head down flat and firm on the floor. She whined at being caught like this and then snarled when there was another dart that was shot right into her leg again. She and Hunter were both panting heavily. She breathing hard from the sedatives, the amount of stress her malnourished body was under and the energy it took just now to defend herself. Her body swayed and eventually fell over, completely giving out with the sedatives working quickly. Everything was a blur around her and sounds were distorted. The fingers in her fur did not release her until the kennel was wheeled in and secured in her corner.
Cassidy let out a soft whine as she was lifted by the three men and then laid back down on a cold metal surface, the barred door locking in front of her face. Jet was wasting precious energy trying to get free from his side of the room, carrying on loudly. She growled, the wolf in her wanting to tell him to just shut up. It was too loud for her and she was so tired…
“Take him out of here. I want answers once and for all. We need to know who this bitch is.” Hunter spat out, the guards going to Jett instantly, easily overpowering the man and dragging him out. Hunter looked down at his pants, the blood making the fabric cling to his leg where the she–wolf had torn him up rather well. He growled and crouched down in front of the kennel to glare at Cassidy through the bars of the door, speaking in a chilling tone. “And when we are done with him… You will wish you were fed to rogues by the time we get done with you.”
