Alpha's Second Chance novel Chapter 240

ROSE

My head was hurting badly, and it was really hard to open my eyes. At first, I didn’t understand why I was feeling like this, but then I remembered we were attacked. I forced my eyes open and realized the place I was in, was all dark, like a basement. And I had no idea how long I had been here.

I looked around and breathed out in relief when I saw Noah, he was unconscious but chained up to the wall. They would not have chained him if he was dead, so I relaxed a little bit and moved over to him.

“Noah,” I whispered, but he didn’t respond at all. And it looked like they had beaten him up.

“Noah, my sweet brother. Wake up.” I whisper again and gasp when I accidentally touch a chain, and it burns me.

I looked closely at the chain, and it wasn’t silver, but then I smelled the scent. They had laced the chains in wolfsbane. I looked around and found a piece of cloth and covered my hands in it, trying to pull at the chain. But it didn’t work, my strength was badly weakened and it did take much before the wolfsbane got through the cloth.

I must have made a noise or something because a door opened, and two men came inside.

“So the princess is finally awake.” One of them said with an Italian accent and I looked at him.

“I want to have some fun.” The other said, starting to open his belt.

“No, you heard our orders. She is not going to be hurt.” The first one said, and I breathed out.

“She won’t tell, and I love her. Her mate killed my friends.” That’s when I recognized him, and he was the one that got away. That night, Enzo saved me, the one I fought before he ran away.

“I don’t care, we have orders, and you are not breaking them.” The first one says, and the other growls but closes his belt again.

“Do you think we need to give that one an injection more?” The second one asks.

“He is still unconscious. Let’s go again.” The first one says, and they walk out and lock the door.

They were, without doubt, from Italy, and I knew they had to be Alpha Carlos’s men.

“Noah.” I try again, but he still does not respond. And I am worried.

I know that he is strong, very strong. That he is special, even though he doesn’t have his wolf yet. But wolfsbane is poisonous for us, and he doesn’t have a wolf to help him fight it.

I can’t reach Kaila, probably because I had been drugged. And I was hoping that they wouldn’t give me more so I would be able to reach her soon. Suddenly a lot of noise is going on and I hear the screaming of a man, and then it goes quiet, to quiet.
