"King Josh has Lewis!" Oliver's words made my own blood run cold, as I looked at the hurt wolf in front of me. If
Lewis really had been taken by Josh, then he wouldn't last long at all.
"What do you mean?" My voice was the first to break the silence that Oliver had caused. | stole a small quick
glance at Dylan who seemed to mimic my shocked facial expression's, however she also appeared to be fighting
back tears. It's taken her so long to let Lewis in properly, and now she knew it was a very real possibility that she
could lose him forever.
"King Josh turned up with his warriors in tow. Then Alpha Shawn cout of nowhere to let him into the
borders..." The guy looked like he was about to pass out as he steadied himself on the wall with one hand. "Me,
Lewis, and the few men that were there... we didn't stand a chance." | wasn't buying it. Knew | never should
have trusted him the way we did, but Lewis often saw the best in people. Hell, | wasn't even sure my cousin

about my actions as i instantly squared up to the man in front of everyone. My claws extended and my teeth
bared along with a small anger filled growl, causing heads of lower ranks to bow at my authority.
"It's not like that! King Josh
personally targeted Lewis,
screaming and shouting about how he stole his mate, and | fought too, but if everyone had been caught then
they would have stormed the packs of this sector straight away. Instead they're holding up in a pack just outside
of the border. In the next sector along." He rambled, clutching at his left rib cage with his right arm and holding
himself up with his left hand firmly pressed against the wall.
"And how the fuck do you know where they are residing?!" | was on the verge of punching this guy clean in the
face, | can't imagine what Dylan must have been feeling.
"He mindlinked me, technically I still hold the title of royal beta, so I'm still able to communicate with everyone.

she was undoubtedly planning.
"Olly?!" My thought process was cut off by Vee who, ignored the growing audience and ran straight pastin
order to get to her mate. The mark and bond between them was extremely fresh and so her need to be with him
could pose an issue. "Oh my god, what the fuck happened?" He betrayed us, is what | desperately wanted to say.
Instead command left my mouth, leaving no room for arguments.
"The king has arrived earlier than
planned, he's taken one of our own as a hostage Prepare for battle." Everyone's heads bowed lowly while Vee
remained by the side of Oliver now dabbing at his head wound with the sleeve of her sweater. "You two. | turned
