Troy:
My warriors understood imdiately, but so did the pack’s warriors.
"Stop him from leaving!" one of them yelled, but it was too late.
I sped away while my warriors clashed with theirs. There were not many of my warriors, so I knew they would have to retreat quickly, and they did. The mont I cleared the main gate, my warriors began running out as well.
"Wait, they need us at the mansion!" one of the warriors shouted.
Another warrior drove out in a separate car behind us, but he was speaking to the others instead of chasing us. At that point, Yorick’s warriors had no choice but to turn back and fight to save their alpha and his family.
"Where are we heading?" Leysa asked, snapping out of my thoughts.
I had taken an abandoned road because I was not certain if they were still following us. At least my wolf understood that I was heading back ho to take Clentine to my pack.
"We are going ho, my ho," I replied quietly.
"Why aren’t we taking her to Ian?" she asked, making shift uncomfortably in my seat. "I saw the mark on her neck, Troy. Have they marked each other? If so, he should be the one she goes to. Besides, I don’t think she will be okay once she wakes up. All I know is that they had been injecting her with so kind of dicine. I read about it."
Leysa continued in a soft, gentle voice.
"They are sowhere I cannot contact right now. If Haiden’s uncle finds out, it will be bad," I started making excuses because I did not want to take Clentine back to Ian’s house yet.
I had heard what happened between Yorick and Clentine. Maybe she had given him a chance at so point, and that ant I might get lucky too.
But that would an Clentine cheated on Ian to get pregnant with Yorick. Then again, it did not matter. If she chose and rejected Ian, that would be all that mattered.
"What? You were saying sothing."
Leysa’s voice pulled out of my thoughts, and I adjusted my posture in my seat.
"All I’m saying is that I cannot take her there right now. I have to take her to my pack, and I will ask them to co there. They are currently in Haiden’s pack, and you know Haiden’s uncle. I guess you know the history," I explained.
When I adjusted the rearview mirror, I noticed how she lowered her face in guilt. I felt like slapping myself. Of course she knew the history. Why did I feel the need to remind her? What her father did was not her fault.
"That is not your fault," I added, realizing I had spoken my thoughts out loud.
She did not respond, but at least she understood that I was taking Clentine sowhere safer. The only problem was that I did not know how long she would stay quiet before she started asking where Ian and the others were.
As we drove on, I turned left onto a busier road, though it was not too crowded. That was when my heart nearly stopped. Announcents were blasting through speakers across the small pack we were passing.
"Attention. You all must have heard about the crusader Clentine Stark, who is wanted. The council has issued a reward for whoever finds her, dead or alive. Do not communicate with her. She is a manipulative monster. It is better to sedate her or trick her into taking sedatives. Otherwise, keep yourself safe from her. She is not to be trusted."
The announcent made adjust the mirror quickly so I could look at Leysa. She moved fast, laying Clentine down and sitting in a way that hid her face, but we both knew that would not be enough. The reward money would make everyone desperate.
"What the heck is going on?" Leysa asked in confusion. "Why are they calling Clentine a monster?"
She kept questioning while I quickly turned the car onto a completely abandoned road.
"Can you call Ian and Haiden and ask them?" she asked again, bringing up the people I did not want to involve yet.
"I will, but Leysa, you need to understand how much power they are using."
I paused when I noticed my warrior calling , and panic rose in my chest for Clentine.
"Hello?" I answered, keeping my eyes locked on the road to make sure no one was coming our way.
"Your Highness, I just got information about your mate," my warrior said, and I trusted him, so I felt a bit of hope.
"Tell ," I urged.
"So the council has announced that not only are you and the others looking for your mate, Clentine, but they are also searching for her. They claim there is sothing wrong with her wolf, that she is a monster. Because of that, they have asked anyone to co forward with any information about her. Not only that, Your Highness, but they have also ordered the tracing of everyone’s phone calls. So I hope you find her before they do."
That was my warrior’s way of giving the information while making it clear he was on my side. He knew the calls were being recorded, so he was careful not to say anything about her being in the car with , even though he knew she was.
"Okay, got it. I hope we find her first. Thank you," I replied before ending the call and turning to pass the information on to Leysa.
At this point, Leysa was not expecting to call anyone after I told her what was happening. I did want to spend ti with Clentine, but I did not expect my wish to be granted in a way that would cause so much chaos.
Hearing others call Clentine a monster hurt deeply. I had no idea what those monsters in the council were preparing.
With that, I drove along the secure roads with my warrior’s car ahead of . Every few hours, he gave a hand signal to show that the road was safe. Then I quietly brought Clentine into my pack’s territory.
