Chapter 226 The Ambush
Cameron, Reid, Leon, and Micah were finally all together.

Finished
While Cameron and the others were rushing along, they ran into Micah, who had been lying in wait. After hearing what happened, Micah said at once, “If we go the long way, we won’t make it. We need a shortcut.”
So, they took one. They waded through a freezing river and reached Rosalie before Bert did.
Now, everyone was here. Bert was on his way. There was no time to waste. They had to make a plan, fast.
But the more people there were, the more people objected to Rosalie’s idea.
Rosalie was pregnant. She couldn’t risk getting hurt.
Even though she wasn’t pregnant, with so many husbands around, how could they let a woman be used as bait?
The argument went nowhere. No one was willing to give in.
Then a soft voice spoke from below. Reid reached out his hand. “Rosalie, I’m about your size. Let me be the bait.”
“No!”
Rosalie rejected him sharply.
Reid had already acted as her stand-in once during their escape. If she had known then, she never would have agreed.
Reid was still a pup. If he were caught, he would be killed. How could she ever use a child like that?
All the ideas were rejected. In the end, they made a choice.
They would stop hiding. They would fight.
All her husbands were here now. Were they really supposed to be afraid of someone like Bert?
They spread out and hid. Because of his status and his strength, Declan stayed close to Rosalie to protect
her.
Rosalie hid far away. The others lay in ambush along the road.
There was no snow here, and it wasn’t cold. The trees were thick with leaves. A person could hide in a tree and never be noticed.
About an hour later, heavy footsteps echoed through the woods.
Reid, hiding near Rosalie, stiffened. His voice was low. “They’re here.”
Bert walked into the forest and tore off an animal hide from his body.
The two areas weren’t far apart, yet one was buried in snow while this place felt hot.

Chapter 226 The Ambush
With his upper body bare, he finally felt more comfortable.
He had chased them this far and still hadn’t seen Rosalie.
Bert frowned and looked at Sienna. She shivered at once.
“You’re sure they came this way?”
Sienna nodded. “I can smell the pup. I think we’re close.”
Finished
In truth, Sienna’s sense of smell wasn’t that sharp. It was more like a strange feeling, as if she just knew Reid and the others were nearby.
Bert wiped the sweat from his head and glanced behind him.
The group that once had dozens of fighters was now down to just over ten.
Well, it looks like Rosalie’s husbands are strong.
No matter how strong they were, Bert believed he could kill them all
Bert’s blood burned hot. His pupils narrowed, turning dark red.
The forest went eerily quiet. Only the rustle of leaves in the wind could be heard.
Bert walked in the center of the group, already thinking about what he would do once he caught Rosalie.
Breaking a woman as stubborn as her would be satisfying.
