A few hours later I woke up when I heard some footsteps outside the door. The door must be cracked open because I can hear the voices outside clearly.
“It should be safe to talk here. The Alphas aren’t home, but either way, let’s hurry, we don’t have much time,” said a gruff voice in a rushed whisper. “Valentine called, and he needs the last two children.”
What the f**k!? What did we stumble into? I can feel Cece perked up to listen.
“We need to wait a couple more da–” as the second person with a mousy voice was cut off.
“No, it needs to be tonight.” Gruffy sounded irritated.
“We’ve taken 10 children in the last 4 months and each time it gets harder and harder to make it out. I barely made it out last time without getting caught. I have a feeling they are going to catch us this time,”
