Rosalie realized something was wrong.

Bert had said he was heading back to Sovereign City.

But they were traveling toward Vaford. One city lay far south, the other far north. There was no way to mistake the road.

The truth was clear now. Bert was following them.

It could only be for two reasons-money or coveting Rosalie.

Leon and the others came to the same conclusion.

The pressure around the beastmen grew colder than the snow itself.

Rosalie felt a chill crawl up her spine. If Reid hadn’t warned them to leave earlier, they would still be trapped in that cave. What waited for them then would not have been escape, but a brutal fight.

Just then, Reid spotted a familiar face in the crowd. His pupils shrank,

He turned to Rosalie and opened his mouth. His lips moved, but no sound reached his own ears.

Rosalie heard him clearly. “Rosalie, I saw Sienna.”

Rosalie followed his gaze and found her at once.

Sienna was no longer proud or untouchable. She was kneeling on the ground. Bert slapped her hard across the face, knocking her aside like she was nothing.

Rosalie took a slow breath. Bert was an extremist.

She had heard stories before. In this world, some beastmen refused to live under a matriarch’s rule. They believed themselves superior and enslaved women instead.

She never expected Sienna to fall into the hands of someone like that after leaving her tribe.

Bert was dangerous, and there was no telling what lies Sienna had whispered into his ear.

They couldn’t stay here. If they traveled one more day, they would leave Sovereign City’s territory.

The snow would ease. Once they reached Vaford’s land, it would only take two more days.

And if Leon shifted into his beast form and carried her, they could cut the time in half.

Bert was clearly after her. They were too few to fight hini head-on. They had to leave now.

Rosalie’s expression hardened. “We’re not sleeping,” she said. “We move right now.”

Sienna knelt on the ground, shaking. Bert paced inside the cave. His boot snapped a fallen branch with a sharp crack.

Chapter 217 The Wrong Road

Sienna jolted in fear. Bert turned around and crouched in front of her.

She kept her head down and did not dare look at him. “Look up.” Bert ordered.

Her body shook as she slowly raised her head. She did not dare disobey.

She still remembered what happened not long after she was driven out of the tribe.

That was when she ran into Bert and his group.

At first, she thought Bert was interested in her. She acted proud and bossy toward him and the others. But everything changed. After Bert led her far away, he dragged her into a corner and beat her hard.

She had never been hit like that before. It hurt too much. Her whole body ached so badly she could not even straighten up.

Only then did she realize the truth. The females following Bert were not companions. They were his matriarchs.

None of them could escape. And she-blind and foolish-had thought she had found good fortune.

Now, Bert did not even need to raise a hand. Just a change in his tone was enough to terrify her. She was deeply afraid of him.

Bert had no interest in her tearful, pitiful look. He only knew one thing-he followed Sienna here, but he did not find the people he wanted.
