"Where does this lead?" Nina whispered shakily in the silence, her voice barely more than a breath, as she took a step forward.
Then, a sudden, terrifying realization crept into her mind, stealing what little air was left in her lungs.
Did this lead to the Alpha's Vault?
Her eyes widened, her pupils dilating as she stared into the darkness. Had it been here all along?
There was no other explanation for what it was.
Another violent crash rattled the closet door behind her.
The wardrobe she had dragged over lurched forward another inch, scraping against the stone as the outer door wood began to splinter down the center. Folded clothes and heavy metal buckles clattered onto the floor.
Nina flinched, stepping backward.
The barricade was seconds away from failing. Staying in this room was no longer an option. They were not going to stop until they found her.
She had nowhere else to turn.
