wolf to the surface, straining to see if he could hear her through the grate, but the shaking and rumbling of the palace was making it impossible to hear anything but the grumbling of his two guards.
Then Jason did hear the most wonderful sound, a low growl from his brother’s wolf. He’d heard that same sound a million times as they hunted together, usually right before his big brother ripped into their prey.
“There’s something out there. I can hear it,” the Fae guard said, peering into the hall as he opened up the cell door.
“Then go and deal with it, you idiot,” the one closer to him responded as he looked up in fear toward the protesting ceiling. “Kheelan will have us chained to the wall if we leave his prisoner.”
Jason’s wolf had finally decided to join the party, pacing in his head, telling him that this quake and the shaking of the palace weren’t natural, that there was magic being used here.
“You should have left with your friend,” Jason said quietly, trying to pull himself up to stand against the wall.
“I do not fear an earthquake, dog . This palace has stood for thousands of years.” The guard sneered at him before he turned back to face the now open cell door. “You should be more worried about yourself with the amount of blood Kheelan has taken from you.”
“He didn’t mean you should fear the earthquake, fucker,” came Donovan’s voice, just before he finally appeared in the doorway, his low growl rumbling over the sound of crumbling stone. “You’re going to lose more than blood now that I see what you’ve done to my brother.”
The guard’s eyes went wide at seeing Donovan covered in blood. Jason was fairly certain that the Fae scum figured out that the blood belonged to his partner. Donovan stepped fully into the cell and then shifted into a huge black wolf. He leaped at the Fae guard, whose arms came up to cover his face, a fatal mistake as the move left his chest and stomach open to attack. Donovan took full advantage. Jason watched without pity or remorse as his brother ripped and tore at the male until he was a bleeding pile of flesh on the stone floor.
“Donovan,” he finally said once the man was most certainly dead, “we need to get out of here and get April.”
The black wolf finally looked up from the gore, and then Donovan shifted back, rushing to Jason’s side with a tormented look on his face as he took in the damage that had been done.
“Goddess, Jason,” Donovan whispered in horror. “What did he do to you?”
“Just get something to undo these cuffs. I need to shift a few times so I can stop some of this bleeding and begin to heal, but these are some kind of magically enhanced metal that prevented me from shifting.”
Donovan looked through the dead guard’s bloody clothes until he finally found a key ring that unlocked the bindings. As soon as Jason’s wrists were free, his wolf exploded from his skin and he collapsed to the floor in exhaustion. And then a piercing scream from April assaulted his ears. She was calling out to them for help.
“Fuck,” Donovan muttered as he knelt beside him. “Shift back, brother. Hurry and I’ll help you walk. April is in danger.”
When Jason shifted back to his human skin, at least the blood had stopped gushing from the wounds on his front. Kheelan was a sadistic fuck, however because he must have been using some sort of poisoned or cursed blade as the actual open cuts had not gotten any smaller.
“Let’s go get our mate. I can’t hear her over all this racket.” Jason leaned against his brother as they left the cell. “What the hell do you think is going on up there?”
“War, brother,” Donovan replied, “we’ve brought war to these bastards.”

“Calm yourself, brother,” Donovan murmured, speaking low so that only Jason could hear him. “We’re only staying until the formalities are over, and then we will resume the hunt.”
