Chapter 422
“We’ll have to find some after we eat. And we need to start looking for where we’re going to stop for the night. This isn’t enough food for me or you right now and I’d like to cook tonight before it gets so dark that a fire would light a beacon to where we are.”
“Do you know how many wolves are after you?” I ask her.
“No. I know my Alpha is and I’ve seen his Beta and some other warriors, but I’m not sure how many.”
“So, too many for me and you to fight them off?”
“Definitely,” she says. “Especially since you don’t have your wolf back, right?”
“Right.”
I lay Rory down on the shirt and take one of the rabbits, standing and looking around while I eat it.
“Anything look familiar?” she asks.
“No. What direction did we come from?” I ask her.
“That way, she says, pointing to our right at a diagonal. I think back to where Elias‘ old pack used to be in relation to our pack now.
“We need to head straight left, which…” I look up at the sun, which is

“I think you’re right.”
“We may have to go back east a bit, but I’m pretty sure that’s the way to our allied packs. If we can find any of them, we’ll be safe. We just need to find them.”
I turn and look at her. “We’ll keep you safe.
She shrugs. “You don’t know that they’ll let me in. It’s a big risk for them.”
I squat down in front of her. “I do know that they’ll let you in. It doesn‘ t matter how big the risk is, they’ll protect you. They’ll protect all of
us.”
“We should get moving. Those hunters are moving a lot faster than us now. If they catch our scent, they’ll know they’re getting closer. And since we know we’ll have to stop again soon…”
“Next time, I’ll walk while I feed him. It’s still slow, but it’s better than stopping when we don’t have to.”

‘Where are we going?‘ Bruno, my wolf asks. I can hear the same fatigue in him that I feel.
‘Koden has a hideout. I hadn’t planned to go there, but now…now we need somewhere to go.‘
‘Will he take us in?‘ Bruno asks.
‘He better. Aiden is gone, I’m sure of it. The pack is gone, so that just leaves the two of us.‘
‘He wants that female Alpha, right?‘
‘Yeah,‘ I say.
‘If he gives us a hard time, we’ll tell him that we’ll help him get her.‘

‘I’m not helping him until I get my revenge on Nicole. She mutilated us. She doesn’t get to live, or if she does, it will only be because her mate and pup are dead.
