When I woke, I was back on the cold floor of the cell. I sat up and took in the emptiness of it. No bed, no food, no water and most importantly: no Maximus Megestanis.
"Where's Max?" I questioned Luciano who I could sense lurking in the darkness.
"I figured that it is safer to keep the two of you apart. And besides, considering the state he's in, you probably don't want to see him," Luciano replied with an evil smirk.
"What did you do to him?!" I hissed hastily getting to my feet.
"Relax, babe," Luciano said leaning casually on the bars. "He's still alive and as soon as the wolfsbane is out of his system in an hour or two he'll start healing."
"Why? Why are doing this to him?"
"I can't hurt you because of the Alpha so he is currently taking the both of yours punishment," he replied with a fake smile.
"I will tell Leonardo everything that you have done, Luciano, and ensure that you never win back his trust."
"You will do no such thing," Luciano warned.
