Amedis POV
The tunnels shook as I roared with rage at the empty cell.
“WAS THERE NO ONE ON PATROL? WAS THERE NO ONE POSTED AT THE TUNNEL ENTRANCE?” I roared at my pack members.
They cowered before me like frightened children, their fear justified as one wrong answer, and I would murder them all.
“T-t-there were five of us stationed at the entrance just as you ordered, my lord,” one of them stammered, “No one came in or out.”
I grabbed him by the throat and threw him violently across the room. Alex’s broken collar lay on the ground, its magic drained.
Someone must have helped him, or he had figured out a way to nullify the enchantment. And if he did not leave through the main entrance, then…
“Either he is still here, or there is a secret exit out of here,” I growled. “Get some mages and have them search the tunnels from top to bottom. And when you find his scent, follow him until you find him or do not return.”
No one makes a fool out of me, no one!
