Her Forever (Book 5)- Chapter 25

Theon’s POV

Tables were slung to the side, and the giant rug that covered the floor was pulled away. Pregnant, nursing women, children, and a few older warriors walked down to the cellar below.

We haven’t had a chance to tell Trinity that our own world was full of dangers itself. That includes the random rogues that wish to take women back with them to their own worthless packs.

The stink of disease wasn’t just coming from the borders but within the territory as well. Our noses took in full breaths of air, smelling them out immediately. They were poorly p
