CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND SEVENTY FOUR
Once back at the bear camp, the plan is for Barrett to “toss” me back into the prison trailer, shouting at me for being “useless.” That way, he thinks, I’ll be able to rejoin the prisoners as one of their friends, and talk about the ancestral cave’s location with Jasper and Zach.
It would be a stupid plan if it was real. There’s no way that wolf shifters would just welcome back someone who had abandoned them like that, let alone let slip important information around them.
