FakeNovelChapter 281 Xena's POV "It means I'm free, Tansy said, her voice barely audible but filled with desperate hope. It means my daughter is safe." My hands shook as i worked the key into the lock. The metal had been there so long that removing it would require medical attention. 'We're going to get you proper care,' I promised.
*Is Penelope alive? Is she safe?" Tansy's eyes filled with tears as she looked up at me.
"She's alive and well. She's mated to my brother Logan - the Alpha of Nightcedar Pack." I managed to get the lock open, and the collar fell away with a heavy clank. Tansy immediately brought her hands to her neck, feeling the taw, infected skin where the metal had been.

"My twin brother. The man who just gave orders outside." I pulled off my jacket and wrapped it around her shoulders. "Jericho is here too. He's been waiting for you.
At the mention of Jericho's name, Tansy's entire body went rigid. "Jericho? He's... he's really here?" "He never stopped looking for you. Never stopped loving you." I helped her to her feet, supporting her weight as her legs shook from weakness and malnutrition.
"I thought I'd never see him again," she sobbed, her voice breaking. "Wiley toldhe was dead. He said Jericho abandoned us." "Wiley lied about everything," I said firmly. "Jericho has been working undercover, trying to protect both you and Penelope all these years." As we made our way slowly toward the cell door, Tansy gripped my arm. "The other women... please don't leave them here. They've suffered as much as I have." I looked back at the woman who had led us here, still standing with her head bowed. "What's your name?" *Iris, ma'am," she whispered.
'Iris, gather all the women. Tell them they're coming with us. No one stays behind." Her head shot up, eyes wide with disbelief. "All of us? But... but the men won't allow it." "The men don't have a choice anymore," I said coldly. "This pack is under new management." When we emerged from the cells, Jericho was pacing frantically near the entrance. The moment he saw Tansy, he froze. Twenty years of separation, of pain, of hoping against hope it all crashed together in that single moment.
Tansy," he breathed, his voice cracking.
She looked at him really looked at him taking in his weathered face, the gray in his hair, the lines of worry and grief that marked the years they'd been apart. "Jericho.".
They moved toward each other slowly, as if afraid the other might disappear. When Jericho's arms wrapped around her, Tansy collapsed against him, sobbing with relief and joy and heartbreak all at once.

"You saved our daughter. You kept her safe." Logan stood watching this reunion with an expression I'd rarely seen on my brother's face - something between wonder and overwhelming emotion. This was his mate's parents, finally reunited after decades of forced separation.
"I know my wolf doesn't have much left," Tansy said weakly.
1/2 Chapter 281 My heart sank. Wiley must have been suppressing her wolf all these years. That fucking asshole.
"Letmark you," Jericho said, tears streaming down his face as he gently touched her face. "Letsave you.
If not for me, then for Penelope
Watching this scene, my heart was Mate breaking. This was what a true mate bond looked like even after all this suffering, love remained pure and strong. I unconsciously tightened my grip on Ryder's hand..
Tansy closed her eyes but nodded. She didn't have much tleft and if Jericho didn'tact now, she would die. "Hurry," I said to Jericho.
He didn't need to be told twice. He pulled her frail body closer and bit down on her collarbone Tansy didn't cry out, didn't even move. Only a single tear rolled down her cheek until he pulled back and licked the wound clean. Tansy's head lolled to one side. Tansy! Jericho called out, panic filling his voice. "Tansy, stay with me!"
