âYou two bitches! You will go to hell! Once I escape this place, my first act will be to carve out your hearts and feed them to the dogs!â
Adamâs enraged screams and vulgar insults reverberated in the cavernous dungeon, Lingering long after we had left.
Neither of us cast a backward glance at him, fully convinced that Adam deserved his fate.
He was paying his penance.
âRiley, youâre too good-hearted.
You need to toughen up.
Next time,
give Adam a smaller portion of food.
Otherwise, heâll retain enough strength to spew more curses,â I suggested with a mischievous grin.
Rileyâs stern expression dissolved into laughter, her giggles infectious and joyful.
Meanwhile, Marley and Colin were imprisoned in the cell next to Adamâs,
experiencing the same harsh treatment.
Their cell lacked the tiniest window, and the floor was perpetually damp and infested with mold.
âDebra! Stop!â Marley called out from the confines of her dark cell, her voice dripping with icy contempt.
âWhen will you finally release me? I urgently need to visit a doctor about my face; it is seriously injured.

I glanced at Marley but had to look away in an instant.
She looked dreadful-more pitiful than poor Adam next door.
If Marley hadnât spoken to me, I wouldâve thought she was a ghost.
Taking a moment to gather my thoughts, I asked, âRiley, could her injury be fatal?â
Marley still had her uses and I couldnât afford to let her die just yet.
Riley didnât seem worried.
She responded calmly, âDonât worry.
Iâve arranged for Melany to treat her.
Melany assured me that the wound isnât life-threatening, although Collin bit Marley so hard that her bones were exposed.
The scar on her face will be a lifelong reminder.
Marley is overly conscious of her appearance, and lately, she has been lost in a haze of self-consciousness.
â
âOh, thatâs perfectly fine.
â
It didnât matter to me as long as Marley remained alive.
With a sneer, Collin said, âYou got what you deserved, Marley.
Relying on your looks to manipulate men, and now youâre nothing but a worthless waste.
You monster!â
âItâs all your fault! You idiot!â
Marleyâs fury contorted her face as she Lunged at Collin.
The siblings engaged in a tumultuous struggle, and a cloud of kicks and punches swept the tiny cell.
They were Like two animals fighting in a zoo.
I derived amusement from their spectacle for a brief moment before inquiring, âRiley, has anyone from the Silver Ridge Pack arrived yet?â
Having previously forwarded Marleyâs incriminating evidence, including the records of her fabricated accounts and all proof of her wrongdoings, to the Silver Ridge Pack, I had specifically requested that someone inform my father.
I had emphasized, âCan you see it clearly? This is the second Luna you have chosen.
