"Jessie!" I exclaimed in surprise. "What are you doing here?"
I had not seen Jessie ever since that night she had snuck into my room to bring me tea and some food. For weeks after that, I had tried to find her whereabouts, but no one was willing to divulge any information.
Frankly, I had already accepted the worst possible outcome― she had probably been tortured and was either sold off or left for the dead.
Even if the Alphas, especially Rowan and Soren, thought it was something beneath them, I didn't dare underestimate Cedar and Violet's hatred towards me. I had fully thought they would be excited to use the opportunity to torture a friend of mine just to get to me.
Admittedly, I had tried my best not to think about it. After a certain point, the lack of news got equally depressing. Violet had also kept me preoccupied, so much so that it became difficult to think of anything else other than the sort of torture she had planned for me instead.
