~ ELRETH ~

Elreth trembled and stared at Sasha in shock as the woman faced her mate down publicly. Hope, impossible hope rose to war with despair.

Her mate… her poor, desperate mate, was caged. Even seeing him there behind those bars, behind the bodies of the males that had been set to transport him, to watch over and make sure he didn't escape… her heart despaired, and her head rang.

She had to focus, had to listen. But how?

Her mate was in a cage!

For one, shining second, Elreth had a moment of crystal-clear clarity on how Sasha must have felt when Zev woke up in that prison, bound.
