Chapter 0223 Hector POV As Orpheus and Than arrived together, and it looked like Orpheus would now be staying for a while, I leant Than a pack vehicle, he needed to be gone.
I needed more information, more information than Jude's research books could give me. If Kaia keeps insisting on putting herself in danger, I need facts to give her the wake up call she needs. Jude's contact might be the only one who can give us that information. Samson might be dead but I didn't know what Alpha Marc might know.
A risk I wasn't willing to wait for. I needed to act and act now.
There were too many missing pieces, things that didn't make sense. Beckett was cold, brutal...but was he capable of killing his own mate? For sinning against the moon goddess even more so by killing his pack? He dared to warn me, asked if I was her true mate...that he knew what it takes to keep the white wolf safe. Is that what he thinks he was doing, keeping his mate safe by killing her....
Kaia needed to rest, a long car journey was the last thing she needed but I wanted to hit the road as soon as possible.
This contact might change her mind tomorrow, it was only by Jude's negotiation skills that she agreed to see us today.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtI also needed to find out how Jude managed to find her in the first place and build up a level of mutual trust between the pair of them.
I expected the location to be by a coastline but whoever this contact is, she clearly wanted to be as far away from the reminder of water as possible...her location as the most central part of the country. Luckily an area that was human owned, no pack lands were for miles...which meant I didn't have to prearrange with an alpha prior to entering their lands.
Both Kaia and I were free to roam. However as the trees by the side of the road becmore dense the closer we got to the location, I did start to regret bringing Kaia with me.
The overwhelming desire to protect her washes over me, it a constant flow that courses through my veins but the fact I am willingly taking her into a potentially dangerous situation doesn't sit well with my wolf, and why should it. This goes against his very nature.
She places her hoodie over her legs, her hand touching the climate fans in the car.
She was cold...I bite down on the desire to make a comment about how she helped Rosa again.
"Are you cold?" "I'm fine." "Promise you won't shift?" My command stopped working on her the moment she accepted her alpha title., but that's not to say I won't still try.
She had a knack for putting others first, another reason I was growing more concerned about her newly discovered skill.
""Not unless I have to." "That doesn't ease my qualms about this." "Why don't you wantshifting?" Her eyes turn toas I concentrate on the thinning road ahead.
"Deniability, until she sees your wolf for herself...we can deny it is truly you. We can't go into this with trust Kaia, we need to be on edge." I park the car and cover it with sbroken tree branches, I didn't want passersby to be inquisitive of the SUV parked in the woods.
I've spent my entire life running through woods, but this one seems different somehow... it had ears and eyes of its own.
With every step deeper into the woods, a spine tingling shudder would run up my back. Sending warning shockwaves to my wolf.
We shouldn't be here, something or someone was warning us away.
"Stick by me, at all times." I pull Kaia into me, my hand gripping around her back and holding her hip.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWe walk for miles, the trees and woodland floor getting thicker and harder to walk through.
It was getting to the point where roots were making it difficult to step, almost impassable. If we had only human eyes we would need a torch by now. "Look." Kaia's voice enters my mind, as she looks to the right of me.
She points to a single hut. A tiny small hut tucked away under tree om branches that had entwined themselves acting as skind of thick layer to protect the badly constructed hut from the elements. If the sun managed to hit this spot at any part of the day, then it didn't for long.
This was a dark wood...in source of m light as well as something else. Something couldn't put my finger on it. "Do we just knock?" Kaia looks up ata smirk on her face.
"No, I'll let you in." A voice comes from behind.
