Chapter 144: Can’t Be Happening

~ ELRETH ~

Elreth stood in the middle of the prison floor, the intersection of the aisles, staring at the open cell door.

Gar, Aaryn, and two of the guards, including a Shift Lieutenant who'd apparently interrupted the escape stood there with her.

"I think Jayah must have just discovered them. She was kneeling over one of the guards, checking his pulse, and when I arrived she looked up like she was shocked. Then he came roaring out of there and got her—took her off guard. His mate was right behind him. He put a spear to her throat and told me not to move."

Elreth shivered. She remembered how that felt, that cold steel against her skin.

There was a cluster of guards sitting outside with various headaches and pains. Sarayu was seeing to each of them, but she was baffled.

They'd all be hit or hurt, yet none of them remembered.
