Page 122 of Alpha King's Mate

I race into the cell to see the bed moving, sliding across the floor. "Ace!” I scream trying to hold it as the steel brace snaps. Ace runs into the cells and grabs it forcing it open.

"Find something to brace it!" he screams and I race back out finding a metal chair. I run back in,pushing it in the gap just as Ace let's go of the bed door. The door slamming against the metal, bending it under the pressure.

We hear footsteps running before more kids come out, this time with Drake. His entire body burned and he wheezed as he breathed, sliding his body through the gap. He only just managed to squeeze through.

"10 more cells left," he gasps.

"We're trapped! The basement door closed, locking us in.” Ace tells him when he notices me in the cell.

"Wait! What are you doing down here?" He snaps before coughing up blood.

Ace mind links someone, his eyes glazing over just as two more kids come running up the steps. I grab their arms, pulling them through the gap.

"You kids stay in this cell,” Ace tells them before looking at Drake

"They are going to try and blow up the door,” Ace tells Drake and he nods trying to catch his breath.

More kids come out, when we hear alarms start blaring loudly. Ace and Drake covering their ears and screaming at the deafening noise, but Amanda and I were used to the deafening torture of loud music.

The door creaks trying to shut, the metal bending further, and I rush out just as Tate slips through the gap. I looked for something to brace the door, yet there were no more chairs. When suddenly the cell doors shut. I turned racing back and saw Tate pulling kids from the hole, just as the door snapped shut. Locking me out and locking them in. I could hear Tate screaming for Ryker to hurry up.

"Aamon is still down there. I need to go back.” Tate says just as the door strained before smashing shut under the pressure. The chair snaps sending pieces everywhere.

I bang on the glass, Drake and Ace also banging on the glass trying to break it when suddenly the door to the basement makes a loud bang, yet doesn't budge. Smoke seeping in the cracks as pack warriors tried to get in and open the basement door.

"Reika!" Drake calls me over.

"The computer! You can unlock these cell doors from the computer!” he says, and I look at the desk. I rush over to it, trying to figure out how to turn it on.

"The red button on the box under the table!” Ace yells pointing underneath. I look down and see a black box with buttons and press the red one like he said. When suddenly a cell door opens behind me, from inside. A woman walks out before she runs toward the wall. I stare at her and she hasn't seemed to notice me standing there. She pressed some buttons on a black panel before placing her hand to it, the wall opening up to a corridor, when I heard Ace speak.

"Danika?!" He says and she looks back into the room before spotting me standing there.

I ran my eyes up the length of her. She was quite pretty with her raven black hair tied in a ponytail. She had a top that showed off her midriff on and jeans with black boots on. Scars running across her chest, face and along her arms like she had been put through a blender, yet they didn't take away from her beauty. Cold red eyes peering back at me and fangs protruded from her upper lip.

One of her arms was missing and she had a robotic arm with a hook attached to the end.

"Well, well, well. You, must be Ryker's mutt!" she sneers, before looking over her shoulder at the corridor door behind her.

I growl at her and step away from the computer, and her eyes dart to the cell behind me and she smirks.

"Oh. I am going to love, killing you! Let him feel the pain he put me through when he killed my entire family in front of me,” she says, dropping her black bag on the floor.

"Hi Ace!” she says smiling and giving him a wave.

She walks around, her eyes darting to the smoke coming from the basement door behind me.

"Still got some time to kill," she laughs.

"Is that Ryker's first mate?” Amanda asks just as she lunges at me with inhuman speed, slamming me into the glass cell behind me. The air being smashed out of my lungs from the force. Tate and Drake smashing into the cell glass trying to get out when her fist connects with my face. I try to shift.

"We can't! We can't shift!” Amanda screams

"Why?"

"I don't know! I just know we can't.” she says. She slams my head into the ground and I see black for a few seconds. Only to come to when her hook goes through my shoulder and she flings me, my body hitting the cell door everyone was trapped in.

"She is so much stronger than us!" I gasp getting to my feet and spinning just as her foot comes flying at our face. I let my claws slip free, swiping them down her face and she screams before pivoting and kicking me in the chest. My body goes flying into the cement wall before landing on the floor in a heap. My head is searing in pain as it smashes against the wall.
