He had to let me go. Whatever that meant, he had to do it.

As if he knew what I was trying to say, he shook his head.

“I will do whatever I can to keep you safe, Amelia,” he said, determination filling his eyes like twin bonfires.

“Even at the cost of your pack?” I asked.

He paused a moment, but then said, “Yes. Even then.”

I did not like this answer, but I kept that feeling to myself, knowing he wouldn’t listen to me. Stubbornness seemed to be an Alpha trait.

Perhaps Jake truly did trust his pack to run without him. His father was the former Alpha, after all, and perhaps could step in while Jake was gone.

But it still felt too unfair, too messy. Too much could go wrong. Jake was taking too big of a risk for me, when we were only friends.

“My mind won’t change, Amelia,” he said, reading my face. “Once we are safe, we can discuss this further. For now, you are my sister Jean, and I am your brother Charles.”

I lifted a brow. “Brother and sister?”

“It seemed the easiest way to be sure that I’d be able to see you once you were taken in,” Jake said. “Family are often allowed visitation while friends are not. Are you opposed?”,

“No,” I said. In fact, it seemed to fit in a strange way. “It’s fine.”

“Good,” he said. “We might be stuck with these identities a while.” He finally looked at me again. “I genuinely have no idea how long we might need to hide. It could be years…”

My heart ached, realizing this could go on for so long. I’d had many shocks today, and was starting to feel tired from them.

“Rest,” Jake said. “I’ll take care of everything.”

I wanted to help, but right now, I needed sleep. My eyelids fluttered closed no matter how much I tried to keep them awake. Before long, sleep claimed me once again.

Damien’s POV

My wrists in shackles, I stood in front of the Alpha King, more relaxed than he probably expected of me. He glared at me from his throne as I rested most of my weight on one leg and then slowly, on the other.

The King’s aura was one of intimidation. With so many guards around me, he had to be trying to scare me.

I wasn’t frightened though. If anything, I felt relieved.

For the Alpha King to be so focused on and annoyed with me meant that Amelia escaped as intended. My plan had worked. I could face any outcome knowing my mate and our unborn child was safe, even if she was with my rival Jake.

He would protect her now, that I could trust.

“Alpha Damien,” the Alpha King said, his voice forced low, making it sound gruff. “Did you sneak into the

dungeon, kill another prisoner, and help the witch Amelia escape?”

“I sneaked into the dungeon and killed the prisoner that threatened my mate,” I explained.

“Helping her escape,” the King said.

“Presumably,” I replied.

“And Alpha Jake assisted you,” the Alpha King said. When I didn’t immediately answer, he continued on his own. “Alpha Jake disappeared the same night as Amelia.”

“I can’t speak for Alpha Jake,” I said.
