Contractually Yours, Alpha by Giftemmy

Chapter One Hundred and Eighty Two

The instruction was that I remained here to make sure the soldiers had a safe passage, but I couldn’t wait here; some might have heard the sind, while my gun had a silencer, theirs. didn’t.

I walked into the pack. Everything seemed familiar; I hated being back here; I hated how this felt so much like home.

Soldiers paraded nearby, their footsteps and loud chatter drowning out the sound of my own. I moved swiftly, darting between trees until I reached a more secluded spot, where I finally stopped.

Now all I had to do was wait for the soldiers to return.

Zed did trust his soldiers, and so I had to have some faith in them too.

Gabriel should be arriving anytime soon with the vehicles to pick us up, this way we wouldn’t be easily traced. I pulled open the map. He would wait some distance away, so as not to be spotted by the Nightshade pack patrollers. But the problem was that he may have to trespass on another pack’s land.

One hour turned to two.

I didn’t know how long I would have to wait, but I guess everything should be done before

dawn.

Four hours had gone by and still no sign of them. The night had gotten eerily quiet.

At the fifth hour, I knew something must be wrong. I could just turn back and walk away, but then… that shouldn’t even be an option.

So here I was, going straight for the pack house, because I knew that must be the first place. they would check on, but before I got there, I saw a figure approaching. It was one of the pairs. I had sent in.
