Theo was pacing in his cell, furious at the vampire and desperate for a way to get to his mate.
He had seen her and touched and heard her voice. Everything in him was attuned to her like she was the center of the very universe itself, and now it had been snatched away from him in an instant.
The monster had compelled Cora to forget him! What if she truly did? What if she forgot him forever?
The fury quickly flipped to a heart wrenching ache like he had never felt before. The mate bond was still there. He could feel it. A damned vampire couldn't remove it. If it was a matter of simply getting her to remember him, he could manage that. But he would have to get out of here first.
"Oh, look who is awake."
He recognized that voice. A smug male with glasses and beady black eyes emerged from down the hall with two guards following him. They were carrying those shackles again. Maybe this would be his chance to get out of here.
