The Perfect Thief novel Chapter 97

Chapter 0097 Judys POV I woke up to the sounds of murmurs nearby ; my memory of what had happened was a bit foggy and my head ached like I was hungover , but I dont remember drinking that much .

I had mainly water with a few sips of white wine at dinner , but it wasnt enough to make me hungover .

I dont even remember falling asleep .

My fingers twitched as I came to , and I could feel the cold concrete ground beneath me .

That was part of the reason why my body was aching .

Then I felt the cold metal chains around my wrists and the burning that the silver invoked .

Silver was a werewolfs weakness , and I knew before I even opened my eyes that I wouldnt be able to channel my wolf or send out a mindlink to anyone in my pack .

I also knew that I was in danger .

A slight memory came back to me , and I remember running and laughing with Irene by my side .

Was Irene here with me ? Did she somehow set me up ? Maybe she didnt believe me when I told her that nothing was going on between Ethan and me .

Maybe this was part of her plan ; to make sure the guards didnt follow us so she could kidnap me and possibly kill me .

Another memory resurfaced and I remembered watching Irene fall to the ground after a man attacked her .

He stabbed her in the neck with a syringe and she passed out immediately .

My heart hammered in my chest , and I knew my breathing was unsteady .noveldrama

I tried to keep it steady just in case I wasnt alone wherever I was .

I could hear the light whispers from some men nearby and I tried to channel my wolf so I could hear better , but to no prevail .

However , their voices grew louder as their footsteps neared .

I might not have my wolf senses , but the moment they were close enough , I could smell them .

It was the same sickly scent from before .

Rogues .

I thought we were only paid to capture one girl , one of the rogues asked in a harsh whisper .

So , well ask for more money , another said with a dark chuckle .

Who are they anyways ? I dont fucking know .

I didnt ask questions .

He gave me a price and I told him no problein , another rogue muttered .

Im starving ; lets get some food while we wait for them to wake up .

Itll probably be a while .

We used a lot of wolfsbane .

I brushed her blood soaked hair out of her face .

Please , wake up , I whispered .

We have to get out of here .

The problem was , I had no idea how we were going to leave here .

I knew one thing for sure ; these men thought I was still passed out and they werent going to do anything until we were both awake , which meant I had to act like I was asleep when I heard them returning .

I rested my back against the wall and took a deep and shaky breath , coughing slightly at the musky feel of the dusty air .

I wasnt sure how I was able to recover from the wolfsbane so quickly , but I knew Irene would probably be asleep for a while .

I reached for her slowly sliding her across the floor so her head could be rested on my lap .

I slowly stroked her hair , humming softly to her .

I didnt want her to be afraid when she woke up .

Im not sure how long we remained like that for ; there were no windows and there was no clock , so I had no idea what time it was .

But I know it had to have been hours at least .

I was groggy and my head was bobbing up and down when I heard the shoes approaching .

I quickly scooted Irene off my lap , so her head was rested on the ground again and then I rested my head beside hers , closing my eyes .
