"I think I should go and meet my father." Abby looked serious as Micah stopped what he was doing to give her his full attention.

He was in the strategy room in the pack house of the Silver Moon pack, discussing the sudden yet complete decline of the rogue activity all around the kingdom with Alpha Samuel and Dax this afternoon when Abby came seeking him.

Her gaze was clear with an unfaltering stance when she interrupted their meeting that the alpha didn't hesitate to leave the two of them alone since the royal gamma had long made a wise escape just as Abby stepped into the strategy room.

Alpha James wasn't included in this meeting, but Abby didn't have time to dwell on insignificant things like that.

"But you are still investigating the strange deaths in this place," Micah pointed out.

"Yeah, I'm. But it's going nowhere, while we have a new lead in the form of his letter."

"But he insisted for you to come alone, and if I'm correct, you need to leave shortly to make it in time."

On the back of the note Ryan sent her, there was both where and when he wanted to meet her. And it just so happened to be today, but the place was quite far away.

It would take at least three hours by carriage and then one more hour of hiking because it was a fucking steep cliff in the middle of the mountains. His father actually wanted her to retrieve him from out of nowhere literally.

Abby couldn't help but sigh and when Micah stood up to approach her, she met him halfway across the room, before they settled side by side on the small couch to the right of this long table. Then she faced him.

"Yeah, I know. I want to take this chance and see if we can find anything about Calpin." Abby was sure about one thing. "And I know you are planning to go there by yourself."

Micah couldn't deny her claims, because that was what he was thinking. So he admitted it to her as he drummed his fingers on his thigh. "Yeah, I want to capture him."

Just like she said, Ryan could provide them with more details on Calpin or his whereabouts, so he didn't want to miss this chance as well.

"But if you go there directly, he will just slip away." Abby folded her arms across her chest. "If it is I who goes there instead, we might be able to catch him off guard and execute your plan flawlessly." "So you want to make them believe that you fell for their trap?" Micah could read between the lines. "But it will be risky, little one."

"I can protect myself just fine," Abby stated, as she tapped her finger on her elbow. She could control her fire a lot better now, but her father wasn't aware of it. But then she wouldn't underestimate his hatred toward her.
