Sanctuary A Hidden Pack New Edition (by Ylyanah) novel Chapter 15

Keir

Once we are ready to leave again, I step in front of my Pack.

"In a few hours, we will reach Silver River Pack; Alpha Paul and I had an alliance fifteen years ago, and I asked Council-member Armas when I sold our territory to White Crescent Pack to tell him that Lakota and I survived.

He knows we went into hiding, and he knows why I did it. He told Armas that our alliance would stay valid for as long as he was still breathing, and that if I ever needed his help, I would get it. His Pack will be our first stop along the way." I say, and I know we will all be looking forward to a nice shower.

Lance has shifted into Bolt again to carry the Pups, and Alice walks beside him as she talks to her siblings; one more thing I need to arrange when we get to Silver River Pack: clothing for Alice and her siblings. Her former Alpha kicked her out with just the clothes on their backs.

We reach Silver River Pack without any trouble, and I smile when I see his Gamma near the border.

"Does Paul know you wandered this far from the Pack-house?" I call out, and I get a rather strange look when our eyes meet.

"Fuck, I didn't believe him when he said you survived. I always assumed he was pulling my chain." Gamma Jeff answers.

Jeff allows us entry to the territory, and we follow him towards the Pack-house as he tells me he won't link Paul to inform him. "Let's see how he will respond to seeing a ghost." Jeff chuckles, and while we walk towards the Pack-house, he tells me that all three of them found their fated Mates, that they all have ten-year-old Sons.

He asks me about my little Pack, and I tell him I will explain it once we are in the Alpha's office; he seems to understand there is something I don't want others to overhear.

Through the mind-link, I tell Lance and Quinn that I want them to keep an eye on the others while Lakota and I are talking to Alpha Paul.

Jeff asks two Omegas to show the others to a room and to make sure they have everything they need; Quinn leads the way while Lance walks behind everyone.

"Alpha, we have a few visitors." Jeff says as he is standing in the doorway of Paul's office, and I hear a few mumbles from whoever is in there.

"To tell you the truth, I am hoping you can do me a favor." She says before she looks at Paul. He nods his approval.

"About six months ago, we were on our way home when we found a female at the side of the road; she was severely beaten, and for a while, we feared she wouldn't pull through. By some miracle she did, and she has been hiding in a cottage in the back of our territory, and it took a long time before she was willing to confide in me.

She was forced into a Mate-bond at the age of eighteen, and for years, her Mate used her as a punching bag. Three years into the Mate-bond, he found himself a more suited female, and both of them started to treat her even worse; after three more years of abuse in any form you can think of, she ran.

He caught up with her and beat her nearly to death before he rejected her, leaving her by the side of the road to die. She still fears he will come looking for her one day, especially when he finally finds her medical file that states she was pregnant when she left." I stop Victoria from saying anything else.

"If she wants to come with us, she is more than welcome, and so is her Pup." I say, and I see relief wash over her face.

"Thank you. I will visit her today and inform her that there is a way to hide from her former Mate." Victoria says, and I know that this will mean another Pup will join us on our journey to a new beginning.
