Nate didn't respond to her after those words.
Aire still sat against the cold stone wall with chains around her wrists while Nate stood outside the bars looking.
He was being torn apart from inside, and neither of them moved.
The guards remained several feet away, pretending not to hear any of it.
Nate's eyes stayed fixed on the restraints around her wrists. The iron had already reddened her skin.
His wolf reacted so violently to the sight. Claws of his wolf were beginning to drag beneath his ribs.
Aire looked away from him again.
Nate swallowed harshly. Without another word, he turned sharply toward the guards. "Give me the keys." He ordered.
The nearest guard with the keys froze immediately. "My Alpha…"
Nate's eyes flicked toward him.
The guard immediately stopped speaking.
The second guard stepped forward uncertainly. "King Elijah ordered that she remain restrained." He tried to reason with Nate.
