"We think they had something over her... something that made her comply," Sampson told me. "We don't think she did it of her own free will."

I shake my head.

"No, she didn't. When I saw her, she was struggling to move forward. She was taking her time... she wasn't rushing away from the border. She was taking frequent breaks and looking like moving forward pained her more than her actual injuries. I think she was stalling. I don't think she wanted to continue."

Sampson raised his brows before turning to Aiden.

"Look more into that. Find out what they might have had on her," he told him.

Aiden stood to his feet; he was tall, and I felt intimidated standing beside him.

"Sure thing," he replied. "I'll see if our guest Beta will help. Maybe we can use some of the resources. It's what they are here for, isn't it?"

There was a bit of annoyance to his words, making me raise my brows.

Sampson noticed it too and rolled his eyes.

"Be nice to our guests, they could kill you without hesitation," Sampson warned him. "And they don't even need an excuse."

Aiden rolled his eyes before his gaze flickered to me.

"And I'll be seeing you later, Miss Judy," he murmured before brushing past me and leaving the office.

Sampson looked amused.
