Don't Poke the Luna (Xena and Ryder)

Chapter 42

Chapter 42

Xena's POV

We drove in silence. The scenery was beautiful, but I wasn't sure if I was ready to go home yet. With our discovery, we needed to get back quickly. Maybe even launch an attack before they could make a move on us first.

Ryder had even chosen to take the main road home. Occasionally, he'd check if I was still behind him or ask how I was feeling, but that was it. My mind was racing though-why were those Rogues there? Did they already know about us? If they were planning to attack our territory, were we prepared? The unease washed over my nerves like a rushing stream.

"This is my turn. Your father's probably waiting at your pack to hear about the Rogues," I told him as my turn approached.

"I'll make sure you get home safe."

"It's really fine. You go home first. I'll be fine."

I could hear the hesitation in his voice. "You sure?"

"I'm good. Thanks for today. See you at school!" I tried to make my voice sound light as I slowed down to make the turn.

Ryder continued forward, and when I turned, I could hear his motorcycle suddenly accelerate. Like he'd been holding back his speed for me all along.
