Chapter One Hundred and Three
DAEMON,
“Where the hell is she?” I asked. Logan had Isabella in his arms; there was a lot of blood, the female seemed to have been shot, but that was their problem. She was still alive though, and she was going to survive, but that didn’t stop Logan from acting like a wimp. He kept on whispering apologies to her as though she were dying I walked to them, ripping him off her, and I held him against the wall. “Where is she?” I questioned again.
He finally seemed to notice my presence. “She is gone!” he said, shrugging off my hold and returning back to the bleeding girl.
“Gone? What do you mean, gone? You told me you have her, and she was drugged. How the hell did she escape?” “I have no fucking idea!”
I was not going to get anything from him.
I had to check up on Thane; if she had come this close, then maybe…
I didn’t want to think about it.
Ishifted, appearing in front of the cave. A spell had been casted to secure the place, it refrained anyone from spotting the entry until they got close enough.
Inside was pitch black, but I could see clearly through the darkness.
Thane was still there. That means she never did get here. That left me without any lead, and despite my annoyance, I would have to wait for little Bella to wake so could question her. I didn’t think Riley did all these on her own.
I returned to the pack; the first thing I noticed was his presence. Vox was here.
This time he waited in the office.
“She escaped, didn’t she?” he asked the moment I walked in.
“I am going to find her.” I promised.
“I know you will. But you’ve failed me more than once, and I am beginning to wonder if you were a mistake.”
“I won’t fail you again.”
“You made a promise to me that she would not be a problem and neither would she come between our plans. She did just that. Since you are unable to handle her I will take the burden off you.”
This time there was no room to make bargains; he was going to go through with it, and I couldn’t protect her.
Foolish little girl–I thought to myself.
Just then the door to the office was pulled open, and Riley walked in without a single care in the world. She gave me a glance before her eyes met Vox
“Smart of you to deliver yourself to your own death,” He said.

Vox lifted two fingers, and Riley fell on her knees; she let out a small grunt of pain. I looked away; I wasn’t going
to watch this.
Vox was going to kill her right before me just to teach me a lesson.
Riley seemed to be choking on her own words, but then she managed to mutter, “The amulet… I can get you- the amulet.”
Vox released her from the magic he had used to hold her down.
“I don’t have time for games.” He warned, but I could see how important this ‘amulet‘ was to him.
“I know where the Nexus Amulet is, and I’ll tell you, but first, you’ll have to agree to my conditions.”
Vox’s eyes glowed again, and Riley gasped in pain, coughing up blood.
“I could kill you.” He warned.
“Kill me and say goodbye to your beloved jewelry once again. Imagine what would happen when you return back to the underworld without it. It will be pure torment, Vox, so let’s not pretend like we don’t know it’s worth.” She said with a smile that revealed her blood stained teeth.
I had never seen Vox look so conflicted; he always seemed to be above everything, and yet, she made him think twice”
