Chapter 136: | To Revive The Great Wolf

Ava came round slowly, her head pounding and aching in every muscle.

She supposed that meant she was still alive.

Her eyes flicked open. It made no difference; everything was still black. Distant sounds carried to her – bangs and talk and drills going … the sounds of things being built, somewhere nearby. Was she still at Brook Mansion, or someplace else?

Weakly, she tried to get up. A crack of light lay balanced on the blackness ahead of her – suggesting a doorway.

Her legs didn't move properly, nor did her arms. For a sick second, she thought she'd been paralyzed. Then she realized she'd simply been tied up – her feet bound together and her hands tied in front of her.
