Chapter 129 Someone Was Looking For You 

**Rosalie’s POV 

The crisp morning air brushed gently against my skin.

As we moved north, I could feel the temperature had dropped along the way. The plants in view also changed from tropical trees to pines.

Our destination, the northern territory.

I wasn’t sure where we were on our journey, but Seraphine was confident.

I didn’t know whether it was wise to trust Seraphine again. At least, among Ethan, Soren, and Seraphine, she was the only one who came forward proactively and told me the truth.

The brothers, on the other hand, neither of them had been completely truthful with me to this day.

Seraphine seemed to know the directions clearly, however, going in the right direction wasn’t our biggest concern.

You’re positive that this is going to be safe?” The question was one I had asked multiple times, and with a sigh, she turned to look at me.

“It will be dangerous, but we are near a turnoff.” Seraphine looked me in the eyes. “Would you like me to hold the baby?

I shook my head. At least the little one seemed to be excited about the journey. His bright blue eyes seemed to be amazed by the scenery along the way. Just looking at him gave me strength.

Seraphine sighed, “Once we reach the small town, you and the babe can rest for the night.” 

Rest sounded amazing in the moment, and as my eyes gazed down at the baby at my chest. I couldn’t help but smile. Never had I felt such love until the day he was born. It wasn’t earned, but unconditional. 

The love between mother and child was like nothing I could have ever dreamed of.

“This way…” Seraphine replied softly as we trudged closer towards a broken down wooden bridge in the distance.

1 glanced around at the area. Crossing the bridge would leave us out in view of anyone who was nearby.

“Unfortunately, it‘s not the safest to expose ourselves, but we have to cross the bridge.” Her eyes gazed out from our hidden spot to the road, looking around for any sign of trouble. “We‘ve come this far. Hopefully, that means we’ve lost Soren’s men. The only thing I would be concerned with is rogues, but even then they come out more at night.” 

I nodded my head.

“Quickly, we must go,” Seraphine urged, as she moved from the shadows of the brush to the open road to cross the bridge. My feet followed quickly behind hers.

As we stepped onto the wooden bridge, I heard the squeaky sound of the boards accompanying our steps. I prayed to the moon goddess that no one was around to hear the noise. However, things sometimes just wouldn’t go as well as 1 hoped.

“Seraphine–” I whispered, listening to the distant voices of men. “Someone’s coming.”

Running towards the tree line, we made cover in the shadows, listening and waiting to see who it was that was coming. With the war on approach, there were warriors everywhere, and on top of those warriors were the rogues.

The rogues were said to be vicious and unforgiving in their venture to wreak havoc in the north.

 Vens “Stay here. * Seraphine whispered, “11 see if i can get a better view of what we me dealing with ”

Nodding my head, I watched her figure move through the busheg, and before long. I watched her back gtifter, and then she turned around to face me, 

“We have to find a way out… It’s Soren’s men,” she whispered.

My heart felt as if it dropped into my stomach upon hearing Seraphine’s words,

I thought we had escaped, but Soren was more persistent than we expected. Why wouldn’t he just let me go? 

Seraphine thought over the situation for a moment and said firmly, “I will lead them away.” 

“No, you can’t…” 1 gasped. “If they catch you-”

“They won’t. You must trust an old lady to know what she is doing.”

Hesitation filled me while I was thinking over her plan. She patted my hand and assured me, ‘I promise, I know them way better than they think. I’ll be fine.”

“Be careful then.” I knew I had to agree and trust Seraphine. All the way here, she’d proven she was more capable than I had thought. I remembered Seraphine told me that she traveled a lot, and it seemed that she had a lot of experiences blending herself into crowds and disappearing from the eyes that were searching for her.

“When and where should I meet up with you then?” I asked.

A kind, soft smile passed over her face as she reached up and lightly patted the side of my cheek. “I won’t be gone long. Go up the road and take the right fork. I will lead Soren’s men down to the left. Go to the inn, and I will find you there.

I nodded to show that I understood. “Okay, Seraphine. Please, please be careful, and I‘ll see you at the inn.” After all, I still saw her as a friend, and I wouldn’t want anything bad to happen to her.

However, before she took off, she added, “If I don‘t return to you by tomorrow morning, then I want you to follow every direction I have written on this piece of paper for you. Someone else can take you the rest of the way. You would just have to get to that village.”

I didn‘t like the way she said it. It felt like this was goodbye. I shook my head, “No, I‘d rather wait for you.” 

“Listen to me. Even if I am late, it doesn‘t necessarily mean that they got me. I may just need a little more time to get rid of them. But you shouldn’t wait there because they can catch up quickly. Trust me, I’ll be fine.” 

My hands wrapped around my baby, protecting him from the unforeseeable danger that was lurking nearby.

As the words left her mouth, I watched as she took off through the foliage and made her way up the road and down the left path. The men passed my hidden position without even a glance in my direction.

A heavy sigh left my mouth as I realized that I had gone unnoticed. 

I rocked my boy a couple more times and watched him start to doze off. I whispered as my lips kissed his tiny forehead, “Let’s get you somewhere safe.”

After taking another moment, I pushed from my hiding place. I moved along the tree line and tried to hide my tracks as much as I could. Finally, when a distant village came into view, I let out a breath of relief.

The friendly staff didn‘t even ask me any questions. The moment the woman behind the counter saw me, she showed me the way to my room, as if she was expecting me.

The room wasn’t lavish, but it was safe and comforting for me and the baby. There was even a crib. I was amazed by how thoroughly Seraphine had arranged everything 

“Oh, that’s so kind of you. Thank you for your generosity, mine!” She was grateful.

It wasn’t easy to continue running in a place like this during war time. The inn helped numerous people, including me, and they deserved to be appreciated.

After the door behind me clicked, I felt a sense of security. Placing down the bag on the chair, 1 dragged my sweet boy from my chest, and laid him in the crib. My boy was fast asleep with his tiny body swaddled.
