Chapter 8 - The Forgotten Brother
Harper walked slowly toward the reinforced steel bars.
The chained man let out a low, agonizing warning growl.
Harper lowered the flashlight and spoke in a very soft, calming voice.
She realized this man was Liam Croft, Kane's supposedly deceased older brother.
The entire pack believed Liam had died in a tragic fire ten years ago.
Liam recognized the scent of the Mercer family on Harper's jacket.
He began laughing hysterically, rattling the heavy chains against the wall.
He rasped that Silas and Vivian had orchestrated the silver attack on Kane.
They had kept Liam alive strictly to harvest his pure Alpha blood for their experiments.
Harper realized the entire council was completely corrupt from the inside out.
She used a heavy iron pipe to smash the rusted lock on the cell door.
She promised Liam that she was going to get him out of this nightmare.
Liam stumbled forward, his muscles weak from years of pure torture.
Suddenly, the heavy iron trapdoor above them was violently ripped open.
Vivian's lead tracker dropped into the tunnel with his claws fully extended.
Liam shoved Harper behind him to protect her.

He looked back at Harper with a deeply apologetic expression.
His eyes suddenly flashed from golden brown to a terrifying, synthetic silver.
