Liam woke with a start, his body aching and his mind foggy. He was chained in a sitting position on his knees, his hands cuffed behind his back, his ankles shackled, and a chain collar around his neck. All the chains were locked onto the cold stone walls of the prison cage, except the chain collar on his neck that was locked onto the floor, leaving him completely immobilized. His pressure points were also blocked, making it impossible for him to move or even attempt to break free.
His vision was blurry as tears welled up in his eyes, the memories of Rin's death flooding back with crushing clarity. He recalled the moment she had been ripped away from him, the sight of her lifeless body crumpling to the ground, her blood pooling beneath her. The pain was unbearable, a physical ache in his chest that made it hard to breathe.
